It's All About Him... Jesus Christ

For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians 1:20 (ESV)
What an encouraging verse! All of God's promises are a "yes" thanks to Jesus! I love the word all in that verse, but did Paul mean to write such an inclusive word? Yes, he wrote all because he meant all. But if we read that verse too quickly, we'll only grasp a portion of what Paul was saying.
That verse is often quoted (and sung) as "All of God's promises are yes and amen." But when it's read or recited like that, we're leaving out the most important part, the in Him! Jesus is the divine power that backs up those divine promises of yeas and amen.
All of God's promises... in Him... are YES! All of God's promises... in Him... are AMEN!
When we say those words, let's not make the mistake of leaving out the "power source" behind them. The divine power of God is what gives life and meaning to the scriptures. And the "Him" is that verse is Jesus Christ!
- In Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, (Colossians 2:9)
- in him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. (John 1:4)
- In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, (Ephesians 1:7)
- He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless... (Ephesians 1:4)
We have eternal life in Him thanks to Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. Our Christian identity is rooted, grounded, and founded on Jesus. We received redemption and the forgiveness of our sins in Him. We are made complete by Christ, and our love of God is made perfect in Christ. Christ is our everything; For in him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28
May you and I never abandon our faith in Him... God's greatest gift is His Son, and when we are abiding in Him, every promise under heaven is available to us!
