Everything

November 25, 2012

In the book of John it says this, “For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.”

Do you see the transfer…once again?  God sent his only son, this son only spoke and did what his Father directed, and God gave (without limit) his spirit.  God loved his son so much that he gave EVERYTHING into his hands.  

That all sounds great and wonderful…for Jesus. Right?  He was perfect, he obeyed, he even died for his cause, so it makes sense that his Father would love him.  After all, he was the model child! 

However…the bible clearly says that what Jesus did on the cross was give us entrance into God’s house to receive the same blessings, the same power…in fact even greater power…to do what he did and walk as he walked.

So why do we have so much trouble?  Unworthiness and shame taunt us into thinking God only doles out blessings to select people – those who are lucky enough to have good parents, healthy relationships, and nice looks.  NOT SO!

The Father loves His son, and we have been adopted into his family when we believe, and so all of that inheritance is ours!  That’s a mind-blowing thought…but one to think on daily…until we believe it.
