"He Has Answered!"

"Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever." (Psalms 28:9) As with that closing portion of Scripture from Galatians, we must come to the realization of the finished work of Jesus Christ; in that, what He did for us was all that needed to be done for our salvation and our completeness! In other words, we are made complete in Christ!!! If, for some strange reason, you are fighting a fight that you keep finding yourself on the losing end of, it's because you are lacking the power of Christ in your life, which is the result of holding onto something that needs to be surrendered! That does not necessarily have to be sin, although it usually involves sin in one way or another, but it could just be a matter of letting go of self; which means, thinking that there is still something that I must do to complete the process of my redemption. If Jesus Christ has set you free, then you are free indeed!!! You don't need to find another way to climb up out of the pit; what you need to do, is to quit going down into the pit in the first place!!! He has answered every need that you have for help; there is nothing that He has left undone and that we are responsible for completing. But there are many people who cannot receive or accept the fact that Jesus Christ has made them totally complete; they see Jesus as having made the sculpture ready, but handed them the tools to chisel away at making the image visible. Do you know what I see when I envision this person with tools in his hands? I see a picture of a man standing in the arms of the Lord, with a hammer and a nail in his hands; because those are the tools that we have used for our transformation, in that, we are the ones that nailed Him to that cross! "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the WORD of  reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." (2 Corinthians 5:17-21)
