There are 3 scriptures that I have been meditating on and just smile!
Matthew 28:18 " All authority in heaven and on Earth has been given to me." Even the demons know this.
Mark 3: 11, " Whenever the evil spirits saw Him, they fell down before him and cried out, "You are the Son of God." But He gave them strict orders not to tell who He was."
The evil spirits knew that Jesus was the Son of God, but they refused to turn from their evil purposes. From the beginning of history, it's been an ongoing battle of evil and good. In this chapter Jesus was healing people. But He doesn't want to be popular just for what He can do physically. Nothing is impossible for him physically. It's the heart that He is after, and that's a personal choice. One that He can't make happen. You can see from this scripture of the evil spirits, that even believing He is God's son, does not guarantee salvation.
We need to behold the Lamb. The Great I Am! The story of redemption is written on His hands. All for us, this sacrifice. For every sin our Savior died.
Colossians 2:13, " When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us, He took it away, nailing it to the cross.".... Here comes the favorite part of this scripture to me....
" And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
The circumcision of the heart can only be done if we give it to Him to heal us Spiritually.
Dear God, we thank you for the cross.
For Your glory Lord
