Behold Jesus

Behold Jesus for He is the answer to our every need. How then do we behold Jesus?

We behold Jesus by seeing Him in the word. In the bible, two disciples were walking to Emmaus and they were talking about Jesus who was supposed to be the Messiah. It was resurrection Sunday and Jesus appeared before them and drew near to them and their eyes were restrained from seeing Jesus in person.

Jesus asked what they were talking about and they answered Jesus the events that had taken place and the appointed Messiah was nowhere to be found. Jesus answered they were foolish and slow of heart to believe what the prophets had prophesied and beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, Jesus taught them the word expounding Himself.

At the end of the journey, Jesus broke the bread and gave it to them and their eyes were opened and Jesus has vanished from their side. They reasoned between themselves how their hearts were warmed when Jesus was expounded in the word and decided to walk back where they came from. That was a total of 14 miles of walking!

When we see Jesus in the word, our hearts will be warmed as well. We will have joy knowing Jesus is there for our every affliction. We can be assured Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us. We are so closed with Jesus that He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us.

As beloved of the Lord, we can look to Jesus for our every need. We can be assured He will take care of us for the bible says so. The word says we are made whole through the bodily sacrifice of Jesus and we are made righteous by the Jesus' shed blood.

Rest in the finished work of Jesus Christ. For at the cross the love of God and the judgement of God met and Jesus borne all the wrath of God on our behalf. The divine exchange has taken place. Hallelujah!
