4 – Creation and Things That Are Made

16 – The Love of God

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light. And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined. Matthew 4:16 NLT

Love Has A Name\n

I love the way the Bible describes Jesus and how awesome He is. I mean, He really is the most amazing person ever in the universe. Just look at the names He is called and what He calls Himself\u2026\u00a0\n

The First and Last, the Alpha and Omega. \u201cAlpha\u201d and \u201cOmega\u201d are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. This means He is the beginning of all things articulated, and the very end of all things expressed.\n

The Word. John chapter 1 tells us that before leaving His home in Heaven to become a man, Jesus\u2019 name was \u201cThe Word.\u201d The Word is the Creator side of the Trinity who spoke everything into existence. His voice \u2013 His name \u2013 literally makes molecules into matter. That\u2019s a mind-blower for sure!\n

The Light. He is described as the Bright and Morning Star in Revelation, the Sun of Righteousness in Malachi, and the Rising Sun in Luke. John calls Jesus the True Light, as does Isaiah. Darkness cannot compete with Him.\n

The Righteous One. Acts 3:14 and Jeremiah 26:6 are among the verses that tout Jesus\u2019 righteousness.\n

The I Am – When Moses asked the voice in the burning bush on Mt. Sinai its name, the response was simple and direct: \u201cI Am who I Am.\u201d He wasn\u2019t created \u2014 He just is! How cool is that? It\u2019s also cool that He gave us other ways to know Him by declaring that I Am\u2026\n

The Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Gate, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way, the Truth and the Life, and the True Vine.\n

The facets and nuances of who and what Jesus is are like skipping a stone across the ocean. It\u2019s impossible. But when you start to dig into who He is to you \u2014 how He works in your life and how He speaks to you \u2014 you will find yourself advancing to new heights.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Love Has A Name

I love the way the Bible describes Jesus and how awesome He is. I mean, He really is the most amazing person ever in the universe. Just look at the names He is called and what He calls Himself…

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

I draw ever nearer to Jesus. I can see His glory and I understand more of who He is. He is not hiding from me. He is revealing Himself to me in ways I could never have imagined.
