All things are Possible
"Everything is possible for him who believes." Mk. 9:23
That which God
speaks forth in His word is what He does!
He fulfills His promises and establishes His plan. Beloved, we can take great comfort in this reality. The Book of Hebrew 13:8 states, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and
today and forever.” Our Lord is
unchangeable, immutable, and all-powerful.
He describes Himself in Rev. 22:13 as, “…the Alpha and Omega, the First and Last, the Beginning and the End.” Again in Hebrews 12:2 we read: “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
These verses
provide a powerful picture of who Jesus Christ is and what He is doing in our
lives. Envision for a moment our Savior
upon the cross, with His pierced hands outstretched. On one side we see Him as Alpha, First,
Beginning – our Author. The blood flows
from the outstretched hand. On the other
side we see Him as Omega, Last, and End – our Perfecter. The blood flows from that outstretched
hand. He was there for our Beginning and
precious child, He is there at our end.
It is cause for great thankfulness, and yet, there is this: between the Beginning and the End is
now. At this very moment in our lives,
there is Jesus. He hung upon that cross
with a crown of thorns piercing His head, his feet pierced, and a spear thrust
into His side. Blood flowed. His blood covers our present
circumstance. It is difficult to
comprehend, but there was Jesus, over 2000 years ago, right in the middle of
our lives. It is as if eternity was
etched in those hours: His hands covering our beginning and our end; His heart
and mind considering our present moment and concluding that “greater love has no one than this, that He
lay down His life for His friends.”
The blood of
Jesus Christ covers this moment in time.
He is perfecting us and preparing us for what He knows is ahead of us. Beloved, all things are possible. Do you believe?
