The Power III

The fact that only One Power exists in the Universe is abundantly clear as Moses is addressing Israel.  He is warning and reminding them that when they obtain success in the future not to forget that the only “power” they possess is what which is given to them and it does not originate with them.

 “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth [or anything for that matter], that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”  [Deut. 8.18]

“Power” appears in many forms and expressions as “light” is a form or expression of electricity, but it is not the electricity itself.  So, in the Bible “power” is described in so many of its forms, but, the origin is the Person and not the thing we “see” as expressing the Power.  And, Who is that Person?

“But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.”  1Cor. 1.24

The above quote is a primary statement of truth.  Jesus does not have the power of God – rather He is the power of God.  He is the “electricity” expressed as “light”.
