Ages by Influence Music: Trusting the One Who Was and Is, and Is to ComeSample

Jesus

Isn’t it difficult to trust someone you’ve never met? Even if they have a great reputation, there is nothing that can replace the trust that is built from a personal relationship. It’s magnificent to think that God wants us to know Him in a personal way. He wrapped himself in flesh and came to us as the person of Jesus so that we could know His nature. As we look at the life of Jesus, we see the attributes of God. He even said Himself, “The Son can do nothing by Himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing.”  We see Jesus defend the prostitute, have dinner with tax-collectors and pray for those who persecuted Him. We see Him read people’s thoughts and understand the evil motive of their hearts, yet STILL love them. We see Him heal, restore, and give freedom to every person who came to Him in faith. 

This powerful yet humble Jesus gave His life so that you and I would know the Father as intimately as He did. It was the blood He shed on the cross that removed every obstacle that would ever stand in the way of God and us. This means that today, right now, we can get to know God more. The more we spend time with Him, the more we get to know Him. The more we know Him, the more we trust Him. Spend a few moments today thanking Jesus for making you clean before God, thank Him for His sacrifice. Write down everything you want to give Jesus today - it’s His delight to carry your burdens and exchange them for grace.
