Almighty God,Our Refuge

"Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”

 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.

“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”  This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me"

                                          -John 18:4-9

The real love of our Father through Jesus is revealed here. Along with this Gospel, we can read the love of God through the verses below;

" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"-John 3:16

This is how our Father gave us Jesus for our sins. The powers of the dark always troubles and traps the Children of God. They doesn't like to see Jesus in our heart. When we are in temptation, when we are in trouble and when sufferings and disturbances overpower our life, let us remember this altruistic life of Jesus.

Our Jesus knows that, the powers of the dark are after us because they want Jesus to be removed from our heart. In such stage we if are closer to Him and holding Him in our heart, then, Jesus will stand before us and will ask,

“Who is it you want?”

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”

This is the protection for us from our Jesus. This is how Jesus took the cross of our sins and sufferings for us to save us and He is doing the same now. We have to just believe in Him. 

" I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies"

                                                                                                            -John 11:25

Our God protects us and will stand as a defense if we are having Him in our Heart perfectly.

Prayer

Lord Almighty teach us and help us to fill our hearts with You and your love in truth. We know that you will cover us with your feather and under your wings we will find refuge; your faithfulness will be our shield and rampart(psalms 91:4).

Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus

Amen
