ALL Things

 Happy Sunday!

"Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through the prophets, in visions, dreams, and even face to face, telling them little by little about his plans. BUT now in these days he has spoken to us through His SON to whom he has given everything and through whom he made the world and everything there is."(Hebrews 1:1-2 Living Bible).

Jesus is the Lawful Owner of Everything!  You may need to read that again.  No matter who may have, or be using the earth's resources, they don't own it.  No wonder the Psalmist was inspired to write, "For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.  I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.  If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof."(Psalm 50:10-12 KJV).

After the Resurrection, Jesus declared, "ALL power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."(Matthew 28:18 KJV).  The Apostle Peter wrote, "He has by his own action given us EVERYTHING that is necessary for living the truly GOOD life, in allowing us to know the one who has called us to him, through his own glorious goodness. It is through him that God’s greatest and most precious promises have become available to US men, making it possible for YOU to escape the inevitable disintegration that lust produces in the world and to share in God’s essential nature."(2 Peter 1:3-4 Phillips).  Don't miss this!  There is an "Inevitable Disintegration" in the world.  The Bible prophecies are being played out daily.  We don't have to fear when we know who we are in Christ.  Those that are not certain of their future will be as Jesus described them, "People will be so frightened that they will faint because of what is happening to the world. Every power in the sky will be shaken."(Luke 21:26 CEV).

"So what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can stand against us. And God is with us.  He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us ALL things."(Romans 8:31-32 Easy-to-Read Version).
