God never forgets to be gracious. We, however, forget to be faithful, and it is God's grace that reminds us.
Psalms 77:9 KJV Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
If Jesus were not God, the blind man He healed, who was subsequently thrown out of the synagogue for testifying to the truth of the matter to the Jews, would not have worshiped Him. Moreover, if Jesus were merely a prophet, He would not have accepted such worship.
John 9:35 KJV Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
John 9:36 KJV He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
John 9:37 KJV And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
John 9:38 KJV And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
Those who believe they see the truth of salvation with out seeing Jesus Christ remain blind in their sins.
John 9:41 KJV Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Jesus is the light of the world, a light that came at a great cost.
Exodus 27:20 KJV And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.
Peace is not found in the riches or wisdom of the world. True and everlasting peace comes from Christ alone. Even a simple fool can depart this life with such peace.
Ecclesiastes 2:16 KJV For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
Father, thank You for the peace that only You can give. It is an honor and privilege to worship such a holy God and Savior. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
