GOD WORKS IN THE SIMPLE THINGS

There are many paths to Jesus, but only way to the Father, through Jesus.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 “If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”

*We can trust God because He has a plan and a purpose…
*Knowing Jesus is knowing the Father. This is not only because Jesus did exactly what He saw His Father do, but Jesus was God in the flesh.

“No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Jesus is protecting us from our sins and we see Jesus first and He protects and cleanses us and “cleans” us up to look “pretty” for the Father.

God is good and merciful but he knows what sins we have committed and without Jesus, we would all be in Hell.

And also, God is so merciful because He sent his one and only Son down to protect us!

The disciples didn’t realize that seeing Jesus was seeing God. They were expecting something more.

Many times we miss seeing God work in our lives and circumstances because we are looking for something stupendous.

Although it is true that God is totally awesome, He doesn’t usually choose to manifest Himself in that way.
God spoke to Elijah not in the fire, wind, or an earthquake, but in a still, small voice.
Jesus didn’t come to this earth in a grand way by man’s standards, but was born to poor parents in a stable.
Isaiah 53:2 says that Jesus had no form nor beauty that would make us think that He was anything more than a mere man.
Paul reveals in 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, that God chooses to do things this way so that no flesh will glory in His presence.

The Lord wants us to focus on Him through faith and not concentrate on the physical things He uses.

The primary reason that God chooses to use those who are nothing by the world’s standards is so that no one else will take the credit for the great things that are accomplished.

Lord help me to show your love to others that I see day to day.    Amen
