God gives us more than we can imagine including direct access to Him. God the Father wants His children to talk with Him. He loves us. He sent His Son to die for us so that we can have that access. Jesus took the sins of the world to the cross so that we can be declared righteous to be in the presence of almighty God. In the early days of Israel, only the priests were allowed in the Holy of Holies, in the presence of God, to intercede for the people. But Jesus changed all of that. We no longer need to go through a priest or anyone to speak with God, to ask forgiveness, to be redeemed. Each of us can go directly to Him, not through ritual or a mediator. Christ is that Mediator and all who believe in Him have the Holy Spirit in them to guide, to convict, to intercede and pray for us. Continue reading “Access to the Father”

Jesus in Psalm 22
I was going through a study in Hebrews and the teacher described the quote in Hebrews 2 from Psalm 22. I thought it was interesting how the first half of the Psalm depicts Jesus thoughts on the cross; the second half were His thoughts and the results of the cross after His resurrection. Our salvation is dependent on both His death and resurrection. It is through His death our sins are washed away; it is through His resurrection that death and sin are conquered and those of us who trust in the Lord will be forgiven and will live in eternity with Him.

Jesus: Lord, Savior, Son of God? Yes!
John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
John 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Revelation 19:11-16
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Continue reading “Jesus: Lord, Savior, Son of God? Yes!”
