The word for today is- Greater!

Good morning,
The word for today is- Greater!
John 10:29,My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Jesus is telling us He has the Divine power to hold us.  Let's look at John13:16,Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.The Lord is telling us,He has people in the world that are his own; he has purchased them, and paid dear for them, and he has set them apart for himself. We have somuch to be thankful for,Nothing can separate the believer from the love of Christ. All whom Christ owns and saves, he justifies and sanctifies.Thank you Jesus!John15:13,Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.Now that is something to think about? Would you do that for a friend? What kind of love is this? The word tells us greater love hath no man, not one! As the Father loved Christ, who was most worthy, so he loved his disciples, who were unworthy. All that love the Saviour should continue in that love to him and to others, and take all occasions to show it to others. Christ's love to us should direct us to love each other.We should personally have come to know that there is really no greater joy in life, than to have the Lord God as the object of all your desire; to have a will in your heart that is totally given to Him.  There is no feeling of joy or happiness greater than this. Anyone who is trusting in their own work for salvation, or who could care less about who Jesus is and what He did, will have to stand alone and be judged by God, on Judgment Day.  They will have to bear their own sins and be judged, and everyone who is judged, will be found guilty and will have to bear the wrath of God's righteous indignation upon themselves. God promises that all who come to Him believing in Jesus and trusting in His work, will be received by God and never have to be judged. Why because Jesus was judged in our place already, on the cross! It is only because God is so perfectly good and kind and loving, that he did not allow us to be completely separated from Him in the beginning.  He still blesses us with good things in this world, but since the world has been separated from Him it is now under a curse ,there is death, and pain, and sorrow; everything wears out and fades away, nothing lasts forever, but the word of God. God has provided a way of escape for the believer,the blood of Jesus!  Because He Himself is Love, He has made a way for us to be saved from the certain consequence of eternal damnation.All who are made righteous in the sight of God, are made holy by the grace of God.The blood of Christ, and the washing of regeneration, can take away all things.Thank you God for your word. Amen !
