God performs miracles ““ His ways are holy ““ what gods are greater than the God of the Bible? He alone displays His power through the natural world”¦for He is the Creator of the world, the galaxies, and all which they contain”¦whether we know or can see the creation or not. Through His power He has provided the way into His presence through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you know Him?

(NASB) John 13:2 “During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him.”

Judas Iscariot had already made arrangements with the Pharisees to betray Jesus; he was looking for a way to let these men of power know where Jesus could be arrested without drawing undue attention of the crowds in Jerusalem.

(NIV) John 13:3 “Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God”

Jesus knew His betrayer”¦Jesus knew something His betrayer did not know”¦God”™s plan and purpose was going forward and would be completed the following day.

Jesus knew from where He had come ““ from God. Jesus knew where He was going after His death and resurrection ““ back to God.

Jesus knew He had the power to say “˜no”™ to God”™s plans”¦Jesus knew He had the power to stop the coming circumstances”¦but if He did that, you and I would not have the opportunity to stand before God without our wrongdoings condemning us. If Jesus had backed out of God”™s plans, He would have thwarted God”™s plans and the devil would have won. There would never have been a way into the holy presence of the living God.

But, God cannot lie. God does not change and Jesus is God the Son. He is God, therefore He cannot change, He cannot renege on the plans and purposes God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, had instituted “˜In the beginning”¦”™

It is Jesus who had the power to follow through with what had been prepared “˜In the beginning”¦”™ ““ He is the answer to people”™s need to be forgiven; His power gives mercy which only God can give”¦He is the Way, the Truth and the Life for you and for me. Do you know Him?

If you know Him as your Savior, do you know Him as your Lord?
