The Lord's Theme For The Year

The Lord has crowned the year (2011) with His goodness and caused us to walk in His paths that drips with His fatness (Psalm 65:11)

Jesus came to reveal the Father

Of all the many things that Jesus could have come to give us and show us, He chose to show us the Father. In fact when Philip, one of His disciples asked Him in John 14:8, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us", He responded by telling them that He was the representation of the Father; whoever had seen Him would have seen the Father (verses 9-14).

So if you really want to see how Daddy in Heaven really is like, then set your eyes upon Jesus and you will understand the depth of His compassion for you. In fact Jesus Himself said to the disciples that they should believe what He had told them and if they did not, then they should at least believe because of what they saw Him do in their midst (John 14:11).

Now how is Daddy in Heaven like? When Jesus was on the Earth, how did He showed His love? by feeding, by healing, by comforting, by providing and most importantly by dying so that we need not be separated from Heavenly Daddy; that is the ultimate act of love for us. And it is not that He died begrudingly but He voluntarily went to the Cross. There were a number of occasions when He could have opted out but He stuck in there and paid the ultimate price so that you and I can be eternally forgiven and made righteous through Him forever.

So start enjoying your Heavenly Daddy's love for you and stop your doubting because this is the reality of it all. He is no longer angry with us but He demonstrated His love in His own sacrifice. Our new position in Christ had been judicially won for us at the Cross.

A New Believer's Prayer

Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
