Jesus The Word

As we continue to shower all praise and thanks on Sovereign God who is Ruler and Monarch of all, we know as believers, faith is the key to receiving all that our Loving Heavenly Father has already given to us. Do you realize that there is absolutely nothing that we need, which has not already been made and provided for us by our Father, Sovereign God? Do you know that there is absolutely nothing we require, definitely nothing that we need, which our Father in heaven now has to go and make, create or manufacture?

Our God, who is the One Wise, has already bestowed upon us all that we need and will ever need in this life and the life to come. We have all things in Jesus Christ our Risen Lord, for He has made this statement. All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28: 18b. Jesus is our all in all. Jesus is our sufficiency. Don’t you, in this precious moment, in the deep recesses of your heart, mind, soul and strength, want to steal this moment to lavish your poor love upon our Jesus? Fall at His feet! Allow your entire captured being to confess, like David. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73: 25 – 26. Jesus is my portion forever. He is my portion today. Is He not your satisfying portion today?

Jesus is God’s Word made flesh. The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1: 14. Listen to what we have been informed about our God, in 2 Corinthians 9: 8 – 9. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. Jesus is our Written Word, our Spoken Word, our Given Word, for He is our Present and Living Word.

Our gratitude and ever living thanks, we give to God for His Word, the Scriptures, which have been given to us for our good and not our harm. Paul tells us in Romans 15: 4, about the importance, work and reward of the Scriptures. For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Is he not assuring us that if we hold fast to the Scriptures, if we endure, as Scripture encourages us, our hope will not be vain hope?

Again, we listen to Paul as he further encourages and informs us in 2 Timothy 3: 16 – 17, to believe and hold fast to the reliability, certainty and management of the Scriptures. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Which of us does not need teaching?
Who among us does not need rebuking?
Has any one of us come to the point where we are beyond correcting?
Are there any who can say that they have no more need for training in righteousness?
