Jesus moves onward to bring salvation to all humanity, even those who would persecute Him. He could do this because He trusted His Father. There is power in us when we trust our God and His Son, our Savior.

God was gracious to offer His beloved Son to the Gentiles. We are a blessed people. We must embrace the "Power of Trust!" Trust is the "firm belief in the reliability, truth, strength of someone." That someone is Jesus! After Peter's struggle, we hear him say... "I'm a servant of Jesus Christ," to them that have obtained like precious faith.. The trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perished.

Heb. 12:2 resonates once more in my soul - "Look to Jesus, He is the author and finisher of our faith!" He could see the "joy" that would come because of His sacrifice, yet He cried out for the Father to relieve Him of the moment. As the angel drew near, Jesus was strengthened! And "joy" overtook Him and we are blessed as we trust in Him!

Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

His desire was to please His Father, and while He was tempted, His trust in the Father's will strengthened Him for the task that lay ahead.

This is a powerful request of Jesus, it is a command straight from the heart of our Lord and Saviour! It is easy to be friendly, but to show unfeigned love go someone is special, but most important; is that our love be an example of the believer and that is to love all humanity, Jesus being our example.

God says, "I will do new things, and before they spring forth I tell you of them!" Can the house of the righteous stand in the wonderment of God's doings? God is doing what He has promised to His house the believers ... He speaks to the Church telling us "He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us."

Could it be that our strength is according to our love for God and His people? As we are experiencing the signs of the times, wherein Jesus has warned us about, the last days...How strong is our love, how much do we love our neighbor?

This is a great hour for the saints, we can be a witness of spiritual strength as we go about our daily responsibilities. Our world need a witness of God's love, strength, and faith in this hour! We sing the song, "More of You Lord, More of You."
