Thoughts for another day

Aug. 8, 2013.

Today's verse: Heb. 7:25. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Who do you think Jesus is: Just a figure-head God who sits there in the heavens beside the right hand of God and does nothing for us Christians?  Do you think Jesus is so sick of us that He has given up on us because notice as you will and you will see we’re clothed with sin all over and yet more sin besides?  Has Jesus, having founded His holy church, now denounced us and said, ‘enough, you unchangeable and miserable wretches, I’ve had enough of your complaining and murmuring and back-sliding and sinning.’  Has this very Jesus who had compassion on the widow of Nain, so much so that He commanded her son to rise and he rose from the claws of death that had clutched him; not have compassion and mercy on us who though misled and sinning awhile, are yet somewhere at the edge of His realm, not completely outside for as He knows, we know not what we do!’

Don’t think my friend that all is lost because you have now come to know of your many sins and sick as you are, you may think it’s your sins that have pulled you into the mire of defiant sickness and you are as good as in the grave for the Man of Galilee has failed to recognize you as His servant, unfaithful as you are, nevertheless, His servant.  Perhaps right now the pain is rising so much in you that tears blur your eyes and you remember your Lord and you think, ‘Lord, if I had but one more chance I’d make it up to You; I’d become Your best servant and give my life for You.  But yet, you hear not anything other than silence.  And then someone has led you to read this and its time I told you:  Jesus is real and alive and He is there right beside you.

Not only that, He hears you and He is your Most High Priest before God the Father, the Throne of all Grace and power.  Therefore, look not with a resigned shrug thinking you’re not going to get out of it for truly you will as even our Scripture today says, He is able to save you to the uttermost; you who come to God through Him because He lives to intercede for you before His God and your God, His Father and your Father.  Take heart my friend from what He tells you and rise, leave the sepulcher of doubt and call out to Him.  He will hear and answer your prayer.
