Son Of Whom?

We are able to gain much encouragement from one another, especially within the family of God. There is much help we can offer each other physically as well as emotionally and spiritually. Having good relationships with other Christians is key to maintaining good spiritual health. However, our focus must not merely rest there. As vital as our relationships with others may be, there is only so much we can do for each other.

In the psalms we read. . .
"(3) PUT NOT YOUR TRUST in princes, IN A SON OF MAN, IN WHOM THERE IS NO SALVATION. (4) When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish." ( Psalm 146:3-4 ESV)

As significant as our relationships with others may be, there is only so much we can do for each other. The help and hope we can offer to each other is limited by the years we have in this life. It is also limited by our humanness. Though we ought to develop trustworthy relationships, there must still be a trust beyond those relationships.

When Peter and John were brought before the Jewish council, they drew the attention to Jesus as follows:
"(11) This JESUS is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. (12) And THERE IS SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE, for there is NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED." ( Acts 4:11-12 ESV)

In what son have we placed our greatest trust? It is not merely with a "son of man" (or daughter of man), but to THE SON OF GOD we need to look when it comes to our salvation. The Lord is eternal. Therefore His plans are eternal, the hope He offers is eternal, and the salvation He provides is eternal. He will always be around to give what He came to provide. May our utmost trust rest in Him!

Have a great day WITH GOD'S SON BEING THE ONE!
