What does Papa “J” Say?
Notice this about wisdom; God teaches wisdom how to respond the the task at hand. The Jewish tradition of Proverbs 8:30 is not as a craftsman at God side, but as one brought up at God's side! You see God needs nothing to be God, He simply is. Proverbs 8:22-31
The more I look into the Word of God the more it seems that I am falling in line with what the apostle Paul says in Romans 11:33. I have been reading the Word of God since May 21, 1975 when the gospel of the grace of God lifted me out of darkness into His marvelous Light. The apostle quotes from Job 41:11. What is so interesting to me about this reference is that God asks Job a question; “Did I make a contract with someone who was before me? No! I did not; Everything under heaven is Mine! From this thought we can understand that God is the Contractor or the real Promise Keeper. Now, whether you care to believe this statement of God to Job is your personal business with God. A similar contract was made in that God prepared a body for His Son. Hebrews 10:5-10 and the volume of the Book we call the Bible is written of Him, for Him and by Him. It was written in order to provide the call of salvation by grace to all who respond to Him to be rescued from darkness and placed in the Light. No religion can accomplish this task, only God because salvation belongs to our God and His LAMB. Titus 2:11
The Gospel of John
John 18:28-40 We read these events of the trials, the mocking and the condemnation of Jesus and we think, O what a pity! Many times we are gripped with real heartbreak and our emotions of His passion is upon us. Our minds are finite and God in His grace has equipped us with emotion which resemble a relieve valve. These relief us of guilt, pride, anger, trauma and other revolts of the soul that are dangerous to our physical being. Mostly, these revolts of the soul are linked to the sin we carry in our heart.
It was necessary that Jesus should go the cross. If it had not been necessary His kingdom would have come to His rescue. He would not have been delivered up by the Jews and Pilate would have not said to Him, “What is truth” A couple of events happen in these last verses that are important for you and I to see and work with in our own life. This should help us to understand that God expects us to hear His Son, since His Son is the Truth.
One: Pilate does not expect an answer from Jesus about truth, if he did then there would be another response from Jesus and there is none recorded. Pilate asked the question and he immediately left and went back to the Jews saying, I find no fault in Him. Two: The world still condemns Jesus today simply because the world cannot find fault in Jesus either. The bottom line is that the world understands the robber like Barabbas and would rather deal with him, then to deal with TRUTH!
