Trust the Son
Have you ever seen two people that needed to be on the same page about something, but just weren’t? Maybe it was your parents, your boss and your boss’ boss, or two friends. You had a question, so you asked one person and got one answer, but then you got a completely different answer from the other. How confusing is that?
That is something that never happens with God and His Son, Jesus.
John 3:34-35 (NIV) tells us, "For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands." These verses show us how special Jesus is to God and how much power and love God has given Him.
Jesus speaks the words of God, knows the will of God, and has the power of God. They are always on the same page.
Because Jesus speaks the words of God, we can trust that everything He says is true and reflects who God is accurately.
Because Jesus has the power of God, we can believe that what He says will come to pass.
God loves Jesus. God speaks through Jesus. This means we can trust Jesus completely. He has all the power and authority and is speaking Truth because what He speaks is directly from God.
In our daily lives, we often face moments of uncertainty and darkness. Sometimes our lives are made confusing or difficult by arguments or disagreements. No matter what, we know that God and Jesus are one. Jesus was a perfect example of the heart of God, so all His love and sacrifice teaches us even more about who God is.
So, let's use this message in our lives. Let’s trust Jesus fully because He speaks for God and has unlimited power. Let’s also try to be like Jesus, speaking God’s words and trusting in His power.
Luke 10
“After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into ...
God Is With You
The prophet Isaiah wrote the words of Isaiah 7:14 nearly 600 years before Jesus was born. At the time of this writing, the Israelites were doing all the right religious things, but weren’t practicing justice as God commands. Like many prophets during Isaiah’s time, this was a warning against that injustice. But among that warning was a glimmer of hope that God would set things right.
Here, the prophet Isaiah is giving the people of Israel a reason to hope because of God’s good promise—the promise that He will provide a sign and He will show up for us. Because that’s what Immanuel means: God with us.
But what does “God with us” mean for us today?
It means we can share in that hope by fixing our eyes on Jesus and trusting in Him. We can trust that from Christ’s birth to His current reign in Heaven—Jesus is God with us.
He’s with us in our pain when we lose a loved one.
He’s with us in our anger when we see injustice and don’t know where to turn.
He’s with us ...
