OzThoughts Thursday 8th January 2009


For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
... And he will be called
…Mighty God…
(Isaiah 9: 6 New International Version).

The conflict over whether Jesus was almighty God never ceased at the cross. It did not cease with the resurrection. Thomas doubted whether it was Jesus who appeared to the other Disciples. Yet his encounter with him brought him to the declaration:

"My Master! My God!" (John 20:26-28. The Message)

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, thank you that you have given your Son Jesus to us. Thank you, too, for your revelation through your servants and your holy Word just who he is. I pray that we might be more like Jesus in our attitudes and more worthy followers of him. Amen.


John 20:26-28 (The Message)
26 Eight days later, his disciples were again in the room. This time Thomas was with them. Jesus came through the locked doors, stood among them, and said, "Peace to you."
27 Then he focused his attention on Thomas. "Take your finger and examine my hands. Take your hand and stick it in my side. Don't be unbelieving. Believe."
28 Thomas said, "My Master! My God!"

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise;
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of thy name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears;
'Tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood avails for me.
