So Great a Salvation we have in Jesus Christ. He saves those who follow Him to the uttermost with His once for all sacrifice of Himself and always making intercession for us (that we need), until the salvation is perfected in Him.

God is at work in some people and you cannot miss His handiwork. Their lives radiate His love and righteousness. And Ruth has come a long ways from her old way of life in Moab to Bethlehem of Judah as a woman of great reputation. And God is using her faithfulness to Him to bear testimony to His faithfulness to work in behalf of those whose hearts are set on Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). And the LORD has another man of great valor in Bethlehem to be used by Him to bless Ruth. God is on the move!

Naomi decided to return back home after years away. Yet the Spirit seems to imply that there is something spiritual about her return as well, something we call “repentance.” But surprisingly, her sister-in-law chose to go with her which implies a significant step of repentance and faith on her part. And for her as a Gentile to make that decision is even more intriguing when you consider that her only source of information about God is her mother-in-law. Would someone follow Christ based on your testimony, even when your world falls apart?

Jesus used a curious parable to teach a profound truth – we need to be prepared for the future. The future often comes without warning. And most important is the future in eternity. Are we investing in eternity or only in today? Listen in as we examine the different points that Christ makes from the story of the Unjust Steward.

“Never has a man spoken like this Man!” Jesus had a demeanor that even His opponents found irrefutable at times. It has been remarked that the Lamb of God had to be silent at His trial or they would not have been able to carry out their miscarriage of justice. John tells of one of those occasions when the opponents of Jesus were confounded by the Son of Man. Yet Jesus showed unswerving loyalty to His first calling, to perfectly obey the will of His Father.

The writer of Hebrews has reminded the believers to continue building on the foundation that has been laid. But then he warns that one should not abandon the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ alone. The warning is that there is no other foundation that brings us to God. But the promise is that God will fulfill what He has started in us by faith. What He starts, He completes. That is proven by our staying in the faith with Jesus Christ. It’s a tough lesson to wrap our minds around but is designed to strengthen our trust in Him.

The writer of Hebrews reminds the readers that we don’t accidentally grow, we have to pursue maturity. But in growing, we don’t leave what we learned first. Instead we build on that foundation, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Here we are given six elements of that foundation that the writer wants them (and us) to build upon. And we see how Christ is the one who holds it all together as we pursue maturity.

A lot more can be said than can be understood when it comes to the mystery of the incarnation of Christ and His perfect obedience to the Father’s will. And His example as the Suffering Servant leaves us humbled as we often endure the trials to our faith through tribulation. But it reminds us that Christ never asks us to do something that He has not done Himself. Let us continue to trust when the road grows dark.

A desperate woman asks but does not receive her request, even after asking repeated times. Yet the trying of her faith reveals a greater persistence and trust than what would have been revealed with an immediate answer. “Great is your faith,” the Master replies to a woman who would not give up. Would you?
