My thoughts is racing this morning – there are such a lot of verses that I’ve been studying after which stopping to meditate on.
It began once I was writing in my journal. I exploit a mechanical pencil and this morning I ran out of lead, so I picked up my pen and wrote in ink. The thought that went via my thoughts was “these phrases must be essential as a result of they are going to be round for a very long time”. However the ideas that got here subsequent caught me off guard.
“Heaven and earth will cross away, however My Phrases won’t cross away.” Luke 21:33 NLV
Jesus spoke these phrases, however He wasn’t simply talking in regards to the phrases that he was talking at that second, nor was He referring solely to the phrases that had been written by the prophets lots of of years earlier than. It was extra encompassing than that.
“The Phrase (Christ) was at first. The Phrase was with God. The Phrase was God. 2 He was with God at first. 3 He made all issues. Nothing was made with out Him making it.” John 1:1-3 NLV
Jesus was talking of himself. He’s and was the Phrase. He won’t cross away.
“ The Phrase grew to become a person and lived amongst us. We noticed his divine greatness—the greatness that belongs to the one Son of the Father. The Phrase was filled with grace and reality. ” John 1:14 ERV
Now, we have to return to Mary’s encounter with the angel and have a look at that dialog.
“The angel stated to her, “Mary, don’t be afraid. You have got discovered favor with God. 31 See! You are to change into a mom and have a Son. You might be to provide Him the title Jesus. 32 He will probably be nice. He will probably be known as the Son of the Most Excessive. The Lord God will give Him the place the place His early father David sat…38 Then Mary stated, “I’m keen for use of the Lord. Let it occur to me as you may have stated.” Then the angel went away from her.” Luke 1:29-38 NLV
The angel stated – he delivered the message – the phrase of God to Mary. Mary wasn’t positive how this could possibly be, however her response was to imagine “the phrase of God” and he or she grew to become pregnant and gave delivery to the One who known as “The Phrase”.
“And the Phrase grew to become flesh and dwelt amongst us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the one begotten of the Father, filled with grace and reality.” John 1:14 NKJV
We must be extra conscious of the ability of the Phrase of God. God’s phrase created a universe, God’s phrase took on flesh to reside amongst us. God’s phrase is alive and highly effective.
“ Whoever hears these phrases of Mine and does them, will be like a sensible man who constructed his home on rock. 25 The rain got here down. The water got here up. The wind blew and hit the home. The home didn’t fall as a result of it was constructed on rock.” Matthew 7:24-25 NLV
By God’s phrase we’ve new life, a brand new life that may have the ability to stand within the storm.
