HE DID IT!
By Rick Mathes
Matthew 1:23 (NASB77) 23 ” BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, ” GOD WITH US.”
Father God called a Board meeting with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He called the meeting to order and broke down in tears. “I created them in my image and likeness” He sobbed, “and they show their appreciation by constant pride and sin against Me.” He composed Himself and in a solemn note said, “I have no choice but to sentence them to eternal dying with Lucifer and his fallen angels” and He fell apart again. “What else can I do?”
Jesus stepped up and said, “I have a solution Daddy.” “What is it Son?” the His Father asked. “I will become a sinless man, die for their sins and be the last Lamb sacrificed.” “You would do that for Me?” Jesus responded, “I love them as dearly as you do. What do you think Holy Spirit?” “We have the power bro, let’s do it!” “It is done!” exclaimed the delighted Father God.
You know the rest of the story. He was born, lived, died, rose and ascended and is coming back again for us. Even to this moment, though, He is with us in the Holy Spirit. We are never without the lover, the loved and the love between them: Trinity.
God is with us:
- In our poverty
- In our obscurity
- In our work
- In our joys
- In our sorrows
- In our fellowship
- In our prisons
- In our loneliness
- In our weeping
- In our singing
Ins God with you in your life? If you have a doubt, He isn’t. When you receive Him as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and all the angels in heaven are shouting, “He did it!”
