“Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.’” John 10:25)

Jesus declared He was the Messiah, but that did not help the people trust Him. The trust Jesus demanded of them was that they give Him power over their lives and living. He had demonstrated healing and deliverance, even raising people from the dead. But that was not enough. Why? They wanted to author the works of God. They wanted the ability to do their will. They did not want God to work with them but with them. Jesus defined the work of God as Father, causing hearts to trust His Messiah (Christ). God can gift the trust of His Son to our hearts.

Rest in Christ’s abilities.

What can You do, Father? Everything I thought I could do, and I expect much, much more.
