Fix your eyes on Jesus...

Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, ¹⁰ but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,--2nd Timothy 1:9-10


Dear Girls,


This is a quick note...there is lots and lots in this small passage of Scripture but the words that spoke to my heart this morning were these:  "but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ,".  Wow...it has all been revealed in Him.  God's purpose and plan for each one of us before time began is revealed in Jesus Christ.  The King James version says made manifest.  It is all about Him.  This verse brought me to John 1 and also the the Servant Songs in Isaiah.  Whatever we want to know about God, about His purposes and about His plan has been revealed in Jesus.  Here is John 1:1-18. 


¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.   There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.  This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:  who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’”And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.  No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

Two of the Servants songs in Isaiah start out with Behold My Servant.  Heed those words, girls.  They will change you from the inside out.  They are the answer to every problem you will face.  They can be the song in your heart as you go to sleep at night and your peace as you go about your day.  Study...gaze upon....Jesus.  Immerse yourself in His word.  As you fill your heart and mind with Him, He will make all your crooked places straight and will focus your eyes on what profits.  Jesus is the Becoming One...He becomes whatever you need...He will be your guide even unto death.

Girls...it says this in verse 12 of the first chapter in 2nd Timothy:  "For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day."   Meditate on "KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED.  Know WHO you believe.  That is key. Knowing WHO you believe will get you through the dark times that occur in all our lives.   For more go here:  Behold My Servant
