"....Not...Word But...Power"

"For the Kingdom of God is not in word but in power."  (1 Corinthians 4:20)

Mohammed's words were just words; no power followed, just the "power" of the sword, killing and rampaging.  He had no power to forgive sin, no power to bring us into fellowship with the Living Triune God.  Jesus does it all.

Jesus, as Word of Father, spoke Words which are Who He Is----- Power.  The oft quoted, "you must be born again," are power Words, because they take a sinner, "condemned, unclean," and cleanses him/her from all sin, bring that sinner in Himself right into the very, "Holy of Holies," into the very Heart of The Godhead.

Yes, Jesus did/does many mighty other miracles, viz., healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead.  None are as so miraculous, however, as bringing you and me from the depths of lostness, hopelessness, and eternal judgement into, "Once I was lost, but now I am found," into the glorious, "joy unspeakable and full of glory," and, "whoever believes intrusts in, relies upon [Jesus] shall not perish, but have everlasting/eternal life.

Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You that Your Words are Power.  Amen.
