"The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here." (Matthew 12:41)
Indeed, He Is. Jesus says in this same discourse, "....for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here." I guess that we can call King Jesus, "The Greater One."
This means for me that my entire life is Christ's, determined by Jesus, walking in Jesus, and as Philippians 2:13 declares, "For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him." Always happen? No, but I press on in The Greater One.
Father, in Jesus' Name, just how "great" I really do not know. Amen.
