That I May Know Him

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. ~ 1 John 5:20 (KJV)

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29

Ever the same all sufficient Savior

2 Corinthians 3:5 ~ Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.

The word sufficient means to be adequate or equal to the task or need. In Jesus Christ, God has provided a sufficient sacrifice and Savior. Not only is Christ a sufficient Savior, but He is also "able to save to the uttermost" (Heb. 7:5) and to keep, "that which is committed unto Him" (2 Ti 1:12). Christ meets every physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of our life.

We have many incidents of God’s sufficiency in Christ recorded in the Gospels. Every miracle in the Gospels not only met an immediate need of the person but also speaks to us of God’s ability to aid and help us in our lives. As He was then, so is He now. Jesus has the same love and compassion today as He did for the suffering in His day. I love the words of our Savior in Luke 4:18, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."

Christian, He’s ever the same all sufficient Savior. Try Him, won’t you.

Hebrews 13:8 ~ Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
