Today’s Thought “Don’t Pass Go!” G. Ward

 

John 10: ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

 

The foundation of belief to know Jesus as Lord, understands that HE was/is the essence of God; meaning HE shares the exact same divine nature, being, and attributes as God the Father. He is not a separate being or a lesser creation, but the full, eternal expression of God existing in human form. Unapologetically, a believer’s proclamation of such must begin and end on that note; for there’s no connectivity to Holy God otherwise (John 14:6) and whereas some intellectuals have examined, then confirmed the historical proofs of HIS existence, that admittance can deny that actuality (i.e., that HE was God in the flesh – John 1:1-3,14).

King David’s expression, “The Lord is my Shepherd” transcends every generation (in believer-ship), that lends security in earth to Heaven, even unfolding a united front of our Triune Maker (The Father, Son and Spirit), having purposed even, our response concerning our Blessed Hope onto any, particularly in view of so many who deny such security with insistence that our Jesus was merely a good man. As believers, we know that HE remains the Only Good One who has redeemed us and shall forever proclaim HIM – Faithful!

 

Lord God, mankind, from the beginning have encountered opposing factions, denying Your power. May our steps cease moving towards these, more believing in our influence, than hearing their denial, particularly when the foundational matter resolved before the foundation of the world has been settled. We honor You with the monumental commission given us, remembering to never move away from the security to know You will never leave, nor forsake us, through Jesus, Amen.
