Change

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.            Heb. 1.1, 2

These opening verses of the letter to the Hebrew believers contain revolutionary material. For thousands of years the Jews had become accustomed to hearing God speak through prophets who He appointed, from time to time, to bring His word to the people.

Suddenly there is a change. No longer will the Almighty God commission men to speak on His behalf. He sent His Son to speak directly into the lives of all – men and women, of all nationalities and colours. This was not another prophet. This was the Son of God, appointed heir of everything that is. This was the being through whom the universe was made.

The Son spoke when He walked this earth, and I believe He still speaks today. No one comes into relationship with Father God without an encounter with the Son. This is reality. Jesus is as real today as the time when He lived on earth in human form.

Jesus speaks also beyond the initial conversion experience. He encourages and guides; He lifts us up when we appear lost; He carries our burden as we let Him. He is all that we need. How sad it is that we do not always realise this. Yet how easy it is to let go to Him when we allow.

Lord Jesus,

Thank You for leading me into relationship with the Father. Thank You for all that You’ve spoken to me and done for me. I thank You also, in advance, for all You’re going to do for me, for my whole life is in You, and only in You. Thank You.                      Amen.
