Exploring God's Colossal Promises
At lift off, a space shuttle spews a lot of fire and fury. To us whose knowledge of rocket science is limited to 4th of July fireworks, it seems as though the craft is rising very slowly. Our search in the Gospel of John for the 10 building blocks of life in Christ has a similar gradual-but-steady beginning. Read how the voyage begins in John 1.
You are invited to be a passenger on a spaceship called Fullness or Fraction in the Gospel of John. Are we headed for outer space? No, we’ll explore inner space, what Psalm 103:1 calls our soul, our inmost being. Inner space is where human beings do business with the Creator of all things. Every sunrise launches us into a new day of trusting God and loving the people we encounter. Lift off is hard to attain when our inner space is weighed down by faulty thoughts, attitudes, and actions. The 10 building blocks of life in Christ which repeatedly appear in John will lift us up and propel us into daily adventures with God.
Has a Bible verse ever hit you like a ton of feathers? The Holy Spirit loves to do that. Although as heavy as a ton of bricks, His words do not crush us. They heal and comfort, empower and embolden us.
