THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 8.12.09
Should we look for another?
Luke 7:19
...And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, are You He that should come?
or do we look for another?
What a life John lived - he was the one to proclaim that Jesus was God's only Son - the Lamb that was to be slain - John baptised Jesus and saw the dove desend and the voice from heaven saying this was the One that was to come - but as he moved on in his life -doubt started to creep in - John, now in prison - could not see Jesus any more - he asked some of his followers to ask Jesus if He was the one - wow - what a change - the purpose of this email is not to bash John - Jesus even said that born of a woman there was no one greater then John and yet near the end of his life -John questioned Jesus if He was the one - one thing I take way from this is that none of us have arrived yet - we may be walking tightly with God right now - but we cannot see tomorrow or the next day - we can get smug and think we have it all together and that there is nothing more about JESUS we need to know - but the truth is we are all human and we all doubt from time to time - our trust must be in God and not in ourselves - we must be willing to see JESUS for who HE is - there is no one else coming - God has done it all in Christ - it's complete - now Jesus is coming back one day to take home His church - there will be no question on that day that JESUS does in fact rule over all - but right now - before that happens - we are free to choose to follow or not - but on that day - we will not have any chose - every knee will bow - there is not another to come - Jesus already came and died for our sins - you can trust JESUS to be totally all we need!
Waiting for Jesus ~ Daniel<><
BUILDING MOMENT:
JOHN LOVED JESUS - DO WE ?:
Because we have CHRIST - we can follow Him forever!
8.12.09 - Building on the WORD
THERE MAY BE TIMES OF DOUBT - BUT FAITH SHOULD PREVAIL
