"Then a voice came from heaven, 'You are My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.'" (Mark 1:11)
"In Whom I am well pleased"------also.
Father speaks here to the Son. In John 12:28 again, Father speaks to the Son. In Luke 9:35, when Jesus was with Peter, James, and John on the mountain and Peter wanted to start a building program, Father speaks again. And this time He just points those present to the Son, Jesus. I guess Jesus is the Word the Father has for us.
Maybe modern Christendom should get the picture. Jesus is the only way to hear Father, to "see" Father, and to honor Father. So may I repeat to you and me today what Our Father tells everyone, "This is My Son, Whom I have chosen; listen to Him."
Father, in Jesus' Name, may I hear Your voice more clearly. Amen.
