Jesus, God With Us. Part 2

Jesus, God with us—in the manger, in the temple, on the road, by the well, on the mount, in the garden, on the cross; with arms extended, with words that beckon, with a voice that calls, “Come unto Me.”

Jesus, God with us—in human flesh, touchable, seeable, knowable. Walking where we walk, crying our tears, knowing our pain, feeling our grief, bearing our sorrows.

Jesus, God with us—to believe in, to follow, to proclaim, to seek, to worship, to love, to cherish forever!

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23 NKJV

Jesus, God With Us. Part 1

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 NKJV

The Word did not become a theory or a philosophy, but a person—God in human flesh. Jesus Christ the Lord. Son of God; Son of man. He was not a fake man or a pretend man, but a real man. Born of a woman, God with us in human flesh—One we could look upon, fellowship with, talk to, and walk beside.

Jesus, God with us—a man filled with truth. He had no deceit, spoke no lies, and carried no deception. Jesus, a man filled with grace—He had no meanness, and demonstrated no cruelty. Jesus, a man tempted in every point as we are, but yet without sin.

Jesus, God with us—dwelling among us, breaking bread with us, carrying our burdens, knowing our grief, feeling our sorrow, bearing our pain, healing our diseases, forgiving our sin.

Jesus, God with us—in a form that was never seen before; with a glory that was never revealed before; with a mission that was never fulfilled before; with a life that was never lived before; with a sacrifice that was never made before; with a victory that was never won before.

Jesus, God with us—with hands to touch; with a voice to teach; with ears to listen; with feet to guide; with eyes to shed tears of compassion; with a heart that could be broken, know sorrow and be acquainted with grief.

Jesus, God with us—here for you, here to heal, here to cleanse, here to forgive, here to renew, here to restore, here to draw near, here to fellowship, here to be your Lord, your King, and your God.

“In Jesus, God looks on us through human eyes, beckons to us with human hands, calls to us through human lips, walks toward us with human feet over life’s troubled sea, sympathizes with us through human susceptibilities, and feels after us with a divine love which now beats through a human heart.” –J. Sidlow Baxter

Faith, Part 2

What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see. So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that there is a God and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him. Hebrews 11:1, 6 (NLT)

Your faith in God today is your lifeline to His heartbeat. Faith is the hand that reaches up and takes hold of God’s promises and gathers in the spiritual treasures that are found in Christ. Faith sees the sunshine of God’s face, even when there are dark clouds all around.

When the things that you are experiencing don’t make sense, faith says, “God knows what He is doing.”
When your resources don’t match your need, faith says, “God is my provider.”
When you are fearful to take the next step, faith says, “God will not fail me.”
When you’re not sure what to do next, faith says, “God will guide me.”
When you are in a situation that seems impossible, faith says, “Nothing is too hard for the Lord.”

What things are possible for you today through faith? All things are possible, because your faith is in the God who knows no impossibilities.

Faith, Part 1

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17 (KJV)

There are two ways that we can walk through a day. One is to walk by sight and the other is to walk by faith. To walk by faith means to walk in a different kind of reality. The Bible tells us that there are two realities (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). One reality is what is seen; the other reality is what is unseen. There are two realities because there are two worlds. One is the physical world; the other is the spiritual world. The physical world is the temporary world; the spiritual world is the eternal world.

Today, as a believer and a follower of Jesus Christ, you live in both worlds. Through your senses you connect with the physical world, and with your heart and spirit you connect with the spiritual world. Your spiritual reality is not based upon wishful thinking or some unknown mystic influence, but upon the truth of God’s word, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the life of Jesus Christ.

Faith sees what your physical eyes can never see;
Faith knows what your natural mind can never comprehend;
Faith possesses what your physical arms can never hold.
Faith says “yes” to everything God declares to be true;
Faith stands upon everything God says is certain, it leans upon everything God says is unmovable, and it counts upon everything God says will come to pass.

Let Us Draw Near, Part 5

Hebrews 10:24-25

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Time is short…you need the body of Christ and the body of Christ needs you–come together to pray, to bear one another’s burdens, to do good, to stir up, and to build up each other in love. Together, keep pressing into God’s heart, and pressing on to faithfully serve the Lord, “occupying until He comes.”

I’ve found a way, through the blood, past the veil
To the Holy of Holies with God…
There in the presence of Jesus I stand,
Glorified Son at the Father’s right hand,
There I can plead, I can claim, I can have,
All that He purchased for me. -Paul Rader
