A Special Interest Group! (part 2 of 3)

Yesterday we began noting a unified group that truly has our BEST INTERESTS in mind. We ought to be greatly encouraged by this "special interest" group regardless of what agendas may be pushed in and by this world. Our Heavenly Father has a very special interest in us and has provided for us accordingly. This has not been displayed any more clearly than through the sending of His Son.

Again, reading from Paul's letter to the church at Rome. . .
"(33) Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. (34) Who is to condemn? CHRIST JESUS is the one who DIED -- more than that, who WAS RAISED -- who IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD, who indeed is INTERCEDING FOR US." ( Romans 8:33-34 ESV)

Jesus came to earth and willingly gave Himself as the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. ( John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:7) His death on the cross was not an afterthought. It was part of the agenda from the beginning for the provision of our salvation. "Who is to condemn?" Jesus came so that in Him we would be removed from that position of condemnation. ( Romans 8:1) There is no earthly power that can grant such a blessing! It is with special interest in our LIFE PRESENTLY ( John 10:10) and LIFE ETERNALLY ( John 3:16) that our Lord gave Himself on our behalf.

The world's agenda is constantly shifting. However, may we find comfort in knowing that in the midst of constantly shifting values and ideologies, Jesus is still "the same yesterday and today and forever." ( Hebrews 13:8) We can therefore rest assured that His SPECIAL INTEREST will continue with our BEST INTERESTS in mind.

Have a great day KNOWING JESUS AS THE CONSTANT WE CAN DEPEND ON!
