"Now we can see that you know all things and that you do
not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe
that you came from God.”
What happened during this
conversation with Jesus? The disciples finally got it--they understood
that Jesus came--straight from the throne of God!
Have we figured it out, yet? Do we "know" or are we still debating amongst ourselves who Jesus is?
If
we are still debating who Jesus is, perhaps we need to take another
stroll through John's perspective of who Jesus is. I would encourage
everyone to re-read the entire Gospel, but if you're short of time--seek
The Lord and at least read this chapter--the entire chapter.
I
believe that one of the reasons people have a problem understanding the
three distinctive roles of God is because they failed to see Jesus in
this Gospel. In this Gospel, we become personally acquainted with Him;
He speaks to our hearts and shatters the blinders that keeps us from
seeing fully, who He is. In order for us to truly see Him, we must open
our hearts and spiritual understanding and He will reveal Himself to all
who are willing to receive.
Are you willing to receive Truth--straight from the Throne?
The
Word of God contains all we will ever need to know and if we need to
seek understanding of The Word, we should seek Him and His wisdom and He
will give us all we need to understand Him and how He wants us to live.
Father,
in the name of Jesus, we ask You to help us today. Help us to open our
hearts to You so we will hear You when You speak and know that it is You
speaking to us. Help us to see through the bitterness that prevails
over the hearts of many who have been hurt by religion and religious
people. Open our spiritual eyes--no longer blinded to Truth--and cut
away all the doubt in our hearts so we can fully receive the indwelling
of Holy Spirit as our guide, counselor, and comforter for the rest of
our days. Create in us the boldness needed to direct those who
doubt--straight to You, and encourage them to learn at The Throne of
Grace and Mercy. Help us to understand there is no need for us to ask
questions of anyone other than You because You have all the answers. All
this we ask and thank You for giving in His Name, the name that is
above all names, Jesus! Amen!
