JOY for BELIEVERS:
Luke 10:22
King James Version
22 All things are delivered to me of my Father:
and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father;
and who the Father is, but the Son,
and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
What an amazing verse!
SPIRIT showed several layers to this one, powerful verse.
To have a better understanding, we refer you to a more contemporary Bible version:
Luke 10:22
International Children’s Bible
22 “My Father has given me all things.
No one knows the Son—only the Father knows.
And only the Son knows the Father.
The only people who will know about the Father
are those whom the Son chooses to tell.”
Right there, we learn FOUR things:
1. "My Father has given me all things."
2. "No one knows the Son—only the Father knows."
3. "And only the Son knows the Father."
4. "The only people who will know about the Father are those whom the Son chooses to tell.”
The fourth section of the verse is very telling.
If you've come to know about GOD, it's only because JESUS chose to tell you.
That is PURE love, and grace, from the LORD.
How to have fellowship with CHRIST?
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
Mark 9:36-37
King James Version
36 And he took a child,
and set him in the midst of them:
and when he had taken him in his arms,
he said unto them,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name,
receiveth me:
and whosoever shall receive me,
receiveth not me,
but him that sent me.
John 14:23
King James Version
23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
John 17:21
King James Version
21 That they all may be one;
as thou, Father, art in me,
and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
John 17:22
King James Version
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;
that they may be one,
even as we are one:
John 17:23
King James Version
23 I in them, and thou in me,
that they may be made perfect in one;
and that the world may know that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
John 17:24
King James Version
24 Father,
I will that they also,
whom thou hast given me,
be with me where I am;
that they may behold my glory,
which thou hast given me:
for thou lovedst me
before the foundation of the world.
John 17:25-26
King James Version
25 O righteous Father,
the world hath not known thee:
but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name,
and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me
may be in them, and I in them.
Only THROUGH Jesus can we know GOD.
Only THROUGH Jesus can we do anything.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
JESUS has authority over EVERYTHING.
Matthew 28:18
King James Version
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying,
All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth.
Colossians 2:9-10
King James Version
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power:
1 Peter 3:21-22
King James Version
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism
doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven,
and is on the right hand of God;
angels and authorities and powers
being made subject unto him.
Now, you know for sure:
To know GOD, we are chosen by JESUS.
He is the WAY to GOD.
John 14:6-7
King James Version
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
