With God all things are possible, but……..

If we believe that God exists without seeing Him, then why should we continue to restrict Him. We use our wisdom to reason God out, not being able to believe for an instant that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is also God! There are those who have simplified God by saying Jesus is God full stop because they cannot comprehend the varied awesomeness of God. So what of Rev. 21:22 or St.Mark 13:32?

God has made it possible for us to be promoted to the highest levels in his kingdom but how do we attain this? The answer is that we all have to qualify by doing His will. Most persons are just interested in saving their own souls, but rather than that being the end, giving your life to God should just be the beginning. Jesus Christ laid it out to his disciples in St.John 14:12, when He told them that greater works they would do than He did while on earth and in St.John 20:23, Jesus told them that they could remit (forgive) the sins of persons. In Romans 8:17 the Apostle Paul tells us that if we suffer with Christ we could become joint heirs with Him.

Isaiah 54 speaks of a woman called by God when she was forsaken, refused, grieved in the spirit and who suffered much affliction and was not comforted. Isaiah 54:17 shows the authority and the heritage that God accords His servants. Isaiah 58 shows that if we do the will of God, which includes fasting for the correct things, we are then treated royally by God.

Simeon who God saw as qualified because of the life he lived, could not die until he saw baby Jesus in the temple and bless God for him. Anna the prophetess who served God with fastings and prayers in the temple, was seen fit and proper by God to give thanks to Him for Jesus Christ in the temple. We must be encouraged therefore to strive for the highest position in God, being joint heirs with Jesus Christ.
