Episode 234: John 5

Today's meditation is on John Chapter 5

Jesus has provided salvation -- spiritual, mental, physical, emotional, financial -- complete salvation. He has provided everything needed for life and godliness. The question is, do I want it? Do I want salvation badly enough to let go of excuses and reasons and blame. Will I reach out and grab hold of what he has already provided? And having accepted it, repent of my sinful ways and live a Christ-like life. 

Jesus has healed completely. He has made me whole and righteous before Father God. 

On my own, I cannot do anything of significance. Even Jesus said he could do nothing by himself. He did only what he saw the Father do. I will follow in his footsteps and do only what I have seen Jesus do. The scriptures detail his life and his work, giving me the perfect example to follow. 

Jesus came to earth as a man to show me what is possible. If he had come in all of his deity power and glory, I could not follow his example.

The Father loves me, just as he loves Jesus. And Holy Spirit will show me everything I need to do -- and even greater works than healing. Jesus has given me the authority to act in his name. Just as the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, Jesus has given me life -- life more abundant. 

I honor Jesus and Father God who sent him. I study his Word and believe in God, and he gives me eternal life. I will never be condemned for my sins, because I have already passed from death into life. 

The time is coming when even the dead in their graves will hear his voice and rise again -- those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life. God's judgement is just. 

Jesus had others testifying about him: John the Baptist, the teachings and miracles Jesus performed, and Father God testified about him as well, saying "This is my Son in whom I am well pleased." 

I have never heard the audible voice of Father God nor seen him face to face, but I have his message in my heart, because I believe in Jesus, the one he sent. I search the scriptures and they all point to him, the one who gives life. I embrace him in faith. I have God's love within me and I live to enjoy the praise that comes from the one true God. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
