The
high priest and elders tried hard to find a reason to condemn Jesus to death
but could not. (Matt 26: 57-62) Finally, the high priest asked Jesus if he was
the Christ, the Son of God. I was looking at Jesus’ reply the other day and it
struck me like never before: "Thou hast said: nevertheless, I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven" (Matt 26:64; KJV).
Jesus
was so confident in his Father and Jesus knew who he (Jesus) was and where we
was going; He had only one goal that of complete obedience to the Father. He
knew that his reply to the high priest would mean certain death but he spoke
the truth. How often God prompts us to share the Gospel with another but
because of busyness, fear of rejection or embarrassment we ignore God’s
prompting. What would have happened if Jesus had not had the resolve he did and
had not given the reply he did?
I
believe that just like Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, God gives us divine
appointments to share Christ with people (Acts 8:26-39). God even says he will
give us the words to say (Luke 21:15) and the Holy Spirit sets up those divine
appointments (Prov 3:5-6) All we have to do is show up and do our part; be
obedient. “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance” (Luke 15:7).
Let’s do it, it’s a spiritual rush. Share this.
