Job
23:8, “Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but
I cannot perceive him: 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I
cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot
see him: 10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried
me, I shall come forth as gold.”
Job
describes our dilemma and the solution to our problem. His writing
illustrates the limitations of our carnal flesh. I go forward,
backward, right, and left but I cannot see Him. True, we can not see
Him if we are walking in the flesh. We must commit our lives to the
Lord Jesus Christ and trust Him because He knows the way that we
should take.
Are
you sick and tired of the way your life is going? Are you
disappointed with the outcome which you expected to be totally
different? Are you frustrated with all the empty promises you have
received which never materialized? If you expect your life to be
different, then you need to change your approach. If you keep living
the same way and doing the same things, you will continue to get the
same result. If you are tired of being beaten up by this worldly
system, it is time for a change! It is time for a better way of
living! Would you like to wipe the slate clean and begin fresh and
brand new? You can in the Lord Jesus Christ!
Jesus
said, “...I am come that they might have life, and that they might
have it more abundantly.” Jesus’ promise is far more than being
alive in this mortal body. His hearers already had that physical
presence. He was referring to life at it’s very best which includes a personal relationship with Him and life in His Spirit.
Jesus
Christ put on human nature for the attainment of man's salvation.
Therefore, Jesus could say, “I am come that they might have life.”
He came to live and die to become a sacrifice for the sins of all men
and deliver us from sins punishment. The punishment for sin is death.
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” By His death and
resurrection Jesus has introduced us to a life previously
unavailable. Thereby bringing all who will believe into the realm of
His Spirit to walk with Him in this life and live with Him in the
life to come for eternity.
Jesus
has made it possible for you to rise above a mere existence in this
world to a Life in His Spirit. Though storms will come, He is there
to calm the turmoil. Though you’ll need to make difficult choices,
He is there to be your guide. Though the world is against you, He is
for you, and victory is guaranteed. Philippians 4:7, “And the peace
of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.” Jesus is offering you A Better Way To
Live!
