Sunday's Devotion 1/29/17

Sunday morning! :-)

You are loved!

“Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” John 8:58

Jesus bold assertion shocked those who were confronting Him, and they sought to stone Him. They knew He wasn’t referring to a chronological age but was actually claiming to be eternal by taking the ancient name of God, “I am” (see Ex. 3:14). But as a member of the Trinity, He could make that claim legitimately.

In John 17:3, Jesus prayed, “This is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” The timeless One entered into time so we could live forever. He accomplished that mission by dying in our place and rising again. Because of His sacrifice, we anticipate a future not bound by time, where we will spend eternity with Him. He is the timeless one.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine; but God, who called me here below, will be forever mine. John Newton

Christ holds all things together. Colossians 1:17

Yea, in the proverbial question about the transfiguration: "For those who truly understand, if you must know, same same."

As a Jewish orphan, I too had this question. A man told me a story of a child being saved from a burning window.."was it the dispatcher who took the call, the driver of the truck, or the guy who climbed the ladder who saved the child?" I thought for a moment, and said it was the fire department. He smiled and said: "Exactly."
