Subject: Addressing your Father |
Bible Note: Hi justme, Thank you for your prayers. I am sure that many are still praying for me, as I have been on a list in many churches. I feel well, thank you. As you have written, we simply pray that everything will happen as God wills it and that we may be able to see that. In this eleventh chapter of John, Jesus wants Mary and Martha to see the glory of God. And Jesus deliberately waited for Lazarus to die so that that could be accomplished. Both Mary and Martha said, "If You had been here..." But sometimes it is best that He seems not to be here for us; He has something better planned evidently, (or not so evidently). In Matthew 8:2 the leper says "if You are willing..." Here again is the big "If" word. We know that He is able. Matthew 8:2, "And behold, a leper came to Him, and bowed down to Him, saying, "If You are willing, You/can make me clean. And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "(I) am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed." John 11:21, "Martha therefore said to Jesus, 'Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died. Even now I know that whatever You/ ask of God, God will give (You)." Mary said the same thing in verse 32, that is, "If You." John 11:41, "And so they removed the stone. And Jesus raised His eyes, and said, "Father, I/ thank Thee that Thou heardest (Me)." Matthew 6:9, "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy/ name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven...[For (Thine) is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.] Jesus prayed to His Father, and Jesus is our Mediator to the Father. And, justme, you have mentioned that the Holy Spirit helps get the message to God. A contrast of John 11:22 and John 14:13 gives us a picture of who asks who of what. John 11:22, "Even now I know that **whatever You/ ask of God, God will give (You)." John 14:13, "And **whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, that the (Father) may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, you will keep My commadments. And I will ask the Father, and (He) will give you..." I trust that everyone sees the contrast between you and You. And of course the parentheses I have added to the NASB renderings for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |
