Our Understanding God

Nothing surprises God. Nothing can ever catch Him off guard. And on top of that, there’s nothing that we can experience that He doesn’t have personal knowledge of. While on earth, Jesus experienced what we experience in our own lives – pain, frustration, loneliness, anger, abandonment, but also joy and love, peace and encouragement. The author of Hebrews says this about Jesus: “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are — yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Jesus knows us perfectly. He knows what we’re going through, and what we’re feeling. He also knows what we need. Don’t hold back from Him. Speak to Him openly and honestly — He already knows what you’re going through. And He will comfort you. Jesus promised that He would never leave us or forsake us, and He also promised that we would have the Holy Spirit with us at all times. So remember, you are never alone. I pray that you would experience His peace, joy, and love today.

This Sunday Zac Gazdik who is the youth pastor at Trentside Baptist church in Fenelon Falls/Bobcaygeon will be speaking. He’ll be sharing from Luke 18:18-30 — it’d be good if you read it before coming to prepare yourself.
