as we dig a bit deeper to lay the foundations

In john 17 after Jesus told his followers that ‘he had conquered the world’(16:33b) he said this: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.  And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”  

The only way to know the only wise God and his plan for your life is to read the will that he wrote specifically for you. However, having written the will it still needed to be executed. No one can benefit from a will unless the testator, the person who proposed the will, dies. It is only when death occurs that the benefactors can get what was bequeathed to them in the will.  Today recognise that the plans for our inheritance is in the last will and testament written by men with help of the Spirit and signed in the blood of Jesus the anointed on that pivotal day in spring just under 2000 years ago. The plan is still valid, the testator has died, and in dying he conquered and removed the sting of death so that all those who are in him can die but still live and live and never die!

Now let us build on this foundation and from there grow into the person God wanted us to be!

So let all of us read the will, it’s been executed!
