Our Life, His Glory

It's another new year. How blessed we are to inherit it.

Have you asked the question what does Jesus want to be to us in the new year? If so, this verse may provide His answer:

When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory. -- Colossians 3:4 (AMP)

The fifth and sixth words of the verse above is the answer I do believe. Yes, Jesus wants to be OUR LIFE! (He also wants us to be with Him in His Glory.)

Jesus, You are our Only Way, our Whole Truth, yes, our VERY LIFE. Amen.

He Cries When You Cry

John 11:32-35 (NLT) -- (32) Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” (33) Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. (34) And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” (35) Jesus wept. (36) Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

I remind you of a song written by a Gospel piano man named Mr. Ross. The encouraging words are engraved in my mind. I pray you will be blessed by them as well:

Just remember Jesus cares. He cries when you cry.
And He pleads your case, to the Father up on high.
Place your trust in Him today. For there is no other Way.
And remember Jesus cares. Just remember Jesus cares.

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

JESUS IS... I AM!

In John 14:6 (NLT) Jesus said this about Himself to Thomas, one of His original, twelve disciples:

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.

Jesus is not a way, but HE IS THE ONLY WAY of (and to) the Father. He is not some truth, but HE IS THE WHOLE TRUTH about the Father. Finally, HE IS THE ACTUAL, ETERNAL LIFE of the Father.

In two words? JESUS IS! One of His names? I AM!

ALL JOY!
