Knowing Him

I’m enthralled, amazed, and in awe of Jesus’ confidence in who he was and who his father was.  I want to be like that.

Accusers told him he was possessed by demons.  Jesus knew he wasn’t, because he knew he honored his Father and they were dishonoring Him.

Questioners taunted Jesus again by asking, “Who do you think you are?” to which Jesus referred again to his status with his Father – the one he knows and obeys.

Once again, he is scoffed at and made fun of. And once again Jesus establishes who he was and is.

And then they tried to stone him.

We too can be accused by others, by our own voice inside our head, or by the old enemy himself – but if we know who we are, that we are honoring Him, and obeying his word – no accusations can stick or bring us down. 

And we can hide in the safety of His arms, unharmed.
