John 14; 4-6 “And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
This 'caught' and, 'captured' me a few weeks ago, that Jesus is LIFE, living, alive for eternity. Jesus has no part in death, though He died for his father so we might live too. And I really got it again this morning.
I woke up, reluctant to rise, for it was raining - it has been sunny and calm for a good while, then, this morning; It was cold, raining and generally unpleasant. But God did not create the Earth so that it would rain. Rain happened after Adam's sin. When God created the Earth, he branded it "VERY GOOD", and there was no rain then. Plants absorbed their moisture from the Earth underground and obtained moisture from the steamy atmosphere. But to start afresh, because of all the sin that had spread about the world, He brought the flood and gave His man a second chance. (We know He is the God of the second chance). He left a rainbow as a sign He would not bring that kind of destruction to the Earth again. A sign, in rememberence of Him and He alone is OUR God to worship. That's why He sent His son, Jesus, and His spirit to live in us, to tell us in detail what, where, who, and why He is; so we might be obedient to Him. He has allowed us to know Him, if we choose to, once He has called us OUT, to learn more about Him through His word (THE BIBLE), and gain His wisdom, His TRUTH, His WAY and His Life.
That's right, NO death, no darkness, no sin, no evil - He turns away from ALL that is blemished with the slightest soil.
Jesus has us covered by His blood, by what He did on the cross.
I am so thankful for this - and know it! May I always be guided by His light. May you come and join in! I pray!
Jesus, He is gathering us together, all over the world. We are in despair sometimes, listening to the cries of people who do not yet truly know Him. They can have peace in their hearts. It takes what seems like a massive jump. Well JUMP - go on, SURRENDER!! - you actually have nothing to loose, only death. Once you've done it you will rejoice, be filled with JOY and peace. You will know compassion. You will know His saving grace. And there are others you can share it with. We need to remain alert and watchful, praying we will not be caught out by people who think they know, and don't - even some vicars, ministers and preists - i've met them. But we will never be trapped because we know the One who guides us. Our prayers four ourselve sand each other, are needed to stay in situ. To stay focused in Jesus. Let Him control you, speak to you and live in you, because He is THE LIFE. AMEN
