And Jesus came and spoke unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:18
Have you
ever heard one of our modern, Christian activists say, “I don’t know when I
will find a doctrine of the deeper life that is satisfactory to me!”
There is
really only one answer to this kind of a quest—turn your eyes upon Jesus and
commit yourself fully to Him because He is God and Christ, Redeemer and Lord,
“the same yesterday, today and forever!”
In these
matters of spiritual blessing and victory, we are not dealing with doctrines—we
are dealing with the Lord of all doctrine! We are dealing with a Person who is
the Resurrection and the Source from whom flows all doctrine and all truth.
How can
we be so ignorant and so dull that we try to find our spiritual answers and the
abounding life by looking beyond the only One who has promised that He would
never change? How can we so readily slight the Christ of God who has limitless
authority throughout the universe?
How long
should it take us to yield completely and without reservation to this One who
has been made both Lord and Christ—and yet continues to be the very same Jesus
who still loves us with an everlasting love?
The very
same Jesus—who knows all your troubles and weaknesses and sins, and loves you
in spite of everything!
