Jesus’ Life, Big Difference
Read John 14 - 16
John 16:24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your happiness may be complete.
WHY do we ask questions? (There’s another one.) It’s to get answers for things we don’t know, to clarify an issue, to gain knowledge and to know what to do.
The disciples asked Jesus many questions as he taught them. Sometimes they did not understand until they saw the complete picture of Christ’s life, death and resurrection. When they looked at the “whole” Christ, they understood.
When the Holy Spirit came upon them in power at Pentecost, the questions stopped and the teaching began. They took on the full knowledge of Christ crucified, dead, buried, raised and ascended to heaven. Then they lived it. With that knowledge their lives changed, and the world changed.
Living in total trust of the Savior is seeking answers from him to our questions, and it is about paying attention to his answers. When his truth is told to you, absorb it and live the truth for your risen Lord.
When you live in the full knowledge of your risen Lord, you, too, will make a difference in the world and an eternal difference in someone’s life (lives).
Pause and Consider: how affirming it is to know you can make a difference in the world with the power of Jesus’ life.
