THE 27th OF JANUARY
ALL THAT JESUS DID PROVES THAT HE WAS ONE WITH HIS FATHER
“If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” John 10:37-38
We always wish that if we could see Jesus with our physical eyes, hear him with our physical ears, we would have the greatest faith. But it was not like that at all for those that lived in his time. Even if they witnessed the miracles that Jesus did, not even being in the physical presence of the Lord could make them believe that he was the Messiah, if they chose to have hard hearts. Having faith in Jesus is a matter of choice, once the Holy Spirit touches our hearts.
Perhaps not having prophets or seeing miracles among them for several generations prior in Israel, it was easier for them to believe that Jesus was just a prophet than the Christ, the Messiah they had been waiting for. After all, we may say that we are more privileged than those who lived in Israel when Jesus actually walked on the earth, because we have the Holy Spirit who reveals Jesus to us, as well as the New Testament in a written form.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
I praise You, my Lord for all your wonderful works! Thank You Lord for everything You’ve already done for me, and for what You are going to do. You are in the Father and the Father is in You and You have chosen to dwell in my heart by the Holy Spirit. What grace and honor I have in You, to be the temple of the Holy Spirit! Please help me become more and more what You created me to be and to live to please You. Thank you for all your love, compassion, kindness and mercy that You pour over me everyday! Glory and honor to Your holy Name. Amen.
