When God Says …
“His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.” (John 16:29-30 KJV).
In these passages, we see signs the clouds of doubt lifting off from the confused minds of the apostles. With the Lord speaking plainly without riddles, it gives them a bit of understanding on the things He spoke. Having discerned that the Lord knows the questions they were contemplating secretly in their hearts, the disciples declared: “Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.” (John 16:30 NIV).
This is such a reassuring revelation for us all to believe and stake our life on. We are in the safe and secure hands of our Lord and Savior who cares for us. He knows everything about us - our state of being, our needs, our struggles, our dreams, our eternal hope, and even our deficiencies and impurity. Our brokenness and filthiness are open book before Him. That, in spite, He loves us. He came to save us and bring us to Himself in oneness. All He expects of us is to stay believing; totally trust in Him and depend on Him wholly by faith, resting in grace through His finished work on the cross. Not religious baloney of rituals and side trips of worshipping others gods, created things and beings - dead or alive.
We are purchased by His blood. He provides us all things. The risen Lord’s revelation through Apostle Paul assures us with this revealing rhetorical question: “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with Him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32 ESV).
And I say, AMEN!
