"God once spoke through Samuel, but that is not our message. We must remember that 'In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son' (Heb. 1: 1 –2).'
God has given us many truths in the Bible, but his final word to all of us is Jesus! Every answer to every problem is found in Jesus. The only true image of the invisible God is Jesus.
While, we live by the whole council of God, from Genesis to Revelation, I agree with what Jim Cymbala says here. After all, in Jesus, the very Word of God is manifest. He IS the very Word of God (John 1:1)
As such, He is the answer to all of our problems. Yet, it seems like this is something that people are more and more reluctant to say or cling to. We know it, but it’s as if we’ve been brainwashed to not lean too heavily on it, as if it’s not really the reality we live in. But it is. We, who believe, must believe by faith that Jesus Christ is the answer for every – EVERY – woe that does or ever will exist!
I remember a long time ago, my niece, Mandy, gave my wife and I a little ceramic plaque that had painted on it, “Jesus is my answer.” I remember my heart welling up with such gratitude for such a picture of an innocent child like faith. Why have we given this up? Why is it that “Jesus is my answer” is suddenly only for kids? Are we not the Father’s children? Are we not helpless in the eyes of God (apart from Him)?
I am going to make “Jesus my answer” once again from this point forward!
Have a headache? Jesus is my answer.
Have persecution? Jesus is my answer.
Uncertainty? Jesus is my answer.
Lost? Jesus is my answer.
Saved? Jesus is my answer.
Smart? Jesus is my answer.
Made a huge mistake (sinned)? Jesus is my answer.
Happy about something? Jesus is my answer.
Sick? Jesus is my answer. (Does it really matter what kind of illness? No!)
Jesus is my answer! Yes, Jesus is my answer!
Is He your answer? I hope He is, because He will never ever disappoint you!
