Certain Evidence (Lent 22, 2024)

Jesus had no problem acknowledging His Father’s love for Him and us.

As we saw yesterday, the Father loves Jesus because the Son demonstrated His love by His obedience…even before the event itself.  It was as certain—even before Creation—as if it already happened.  Revelation 13 tells us of this certainty as “the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.” (Revelation 13:8)

Doing works by faith, the evidence of the works themselves, etc. are operating proof that the Father loves the Son and the Son loves the Father.  Moreover, that love extends to us.  And it becomes proof that the love of God dwells in us and that we love Jesus.

Exercise: Think back over promises you made in the past.  Assign them a “certainty value” of whether it was a promise kept.  If that formed the evidence of your life, what does it say? What can you do today to have evidence of the works of God’s love in your life?
