As I move through the first few chapters of John, I apologize for the speed. However, I am actually just catching up from the past few days and want to highlight core messages from calling His first disciples to the wedding at Cana and beyond.
Jesus is in fact the Lamb of God. He is the perfect sacrifice for our sins, and we need Him…so why did we get Him? John 3:16. “for God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
That whoever believes in him. What a powerful and profound truth. All we need is belief, yet so often I doubt. I rely on my own strength, and not that of my Lord.
This past week I attended our denominational governing body, or what we call the General Assembly. I was amazed at seeing over 2,000 elders and their families all in one place, all worshipping the same God. I have great hope for the future of the church, but I also sense a great divide. Men ruling God’s church is always fallible, but this felt like more. I cannot quit put a finger on it, but I need to trust in the Lord’s plan for me, for us, and for this church.
