The guards replied, 
"Never [at any time] has a man talked the way this Man talks!"
John 7:46 AMP
Never.
There's never been anyone who talks like Jesus.
Never. 
Not before 
Not since 
His are the words of life because He is the Word of Life.
In Him is Life
Life that is Love
Love for the whole of humanity
And love that is so personal that it reaches from heaven directly to your heart. 
Never before.
When he said "it is finished" I believe him. What he did on the cross was enough. Enough to cover, no not cover, absorb my sin. 
Never before.
He is God in a body. Shrunk and humbled and living as a servant. 
Washing feet. 
Forgiving with a word.
Healing with a touch.
And one day He is coming again to restore all that is hurt and broken in this world, and in me, and in you.
Unbroken.
Today as the guards did, listen for His voice, his words of love, forgiveness, hope and restoration...

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
