SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 10/23/2022 7:44 AM
My Worship Time Focus:
PT-2 “The Terror of the Father”
Bible Reading & Meditation Reference: Matthew
17:5-6
Message of the verses: “5 While he was
still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold, a voice
out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am
well-pleased; listen to Him!" 6 And when the disciples heard this,
they fell on their faces and were much afraid.”
We want to begin with, "This is My beloved Son,
with whom I am well-pleased, and think about what this can mean. In calling Jesus “My Beloved Son” this speaks
of His relationship with Him in divine nature, however it also speaks of divine
love. They had a relationship of mutual
love, commitment, and identification in every way. Now we move onto with whom I am well-pleased,
and see that the Father has declared His approval with everything the Son was,
said, and what He did. Everything about
Jesus was in perfect accord with the Father’s will and plan, for after all in
eternity past is where this plan was made for the Son and He has kept it just
the way that it was planned. Here are
some verses that we can look at to show that Jesus was doing His Father’s will.
Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to
them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself,
unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father
does, these things the Son also does in like manner (John 5:19).
"And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me
alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him" (John 8:29).
37 "If I do not do the works of My Father, do not
believe Me; 38 but if I do them, though
you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand
that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father" (John 10:37-38).
49 “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the
Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say
and what to speak. 50 “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore
the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me" (John
12:49-50)
Lord willing we will continue looking at the last
part of these verses in our next SD.
