Friday, October 26, 2007 – Believe Him

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. Wonderful weather here in Boston, MA, we bless God. How are things on your end?

Alright, Jesus felt the need and the urge to re-iterate to His disciples that He was in the Father, and that He was sent by the Father, and He was only doing that which the Father wanted Him to do. He felt the need to urge them to believe this, and told them in John 14v11, that even if they did not believe Him, they should for the very works sake, believe Him.

Why did He feel this urge, this need to re-iterate these things, and what does it signify for us living in this day and age? Perhaps it is that important because it is the basis of our entire hope, for how else do we preach the gospel and talk of our Lord and Saviour whose blood cleansed us from our sins and whose coming and death meant eternal life for us. How else do we tell those who say that there are many ways to God that Jesus is the only way? How else do we stand firm in knowing that the Father hears and answers us when we pray in Jesus’ name? In essence, even today, these re-iterations and assurances are very important for us, even as we preach the gospel and stand firm to tell others that – this man Jesus, said it over and over and over again that He was from the Father (I mean, look at the works He did), that He was in the Father (and the Father in Him), and He was going back to His Father’s house (where He had gone to prepare a place for us, that where He is, there we could also be.)

HALLELUJAH!!!

“Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works’ sake.” John 14v11

Have a very blessed day.

And so Heavenly Father we thank You once again for sending Jesus to die for us on the Cross of Calvary. Jesus we appreciate and welcome Your Lordship in our lives and over all our affairs – re-iterating that our lives are not ours but Yours and that You have Your way in our lives O Lord. Saying Holy Spirit that we love You and submit to Your counsel this day and evermore, in Jesus mighty name we pray. Again Lord we pray for all those that do not know You, Lord of the Harvest, please send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous but the labourers are few. We pray all these with deep and total appreciation, in Jesus name we pray. Amen.
