"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18)
Have you ever heard on of our modern, Christian activists say, "I don't know when I will find a doctrine of the deeper life that s satisfactory to me!"
There is really only one answer to this kind of a quest - turn your eyes upon Jesus and commit yourself fully to Him because He is God and Christ, Redeemer and Lord, "the same yesterday, today, and forever!"
In these matters of spiritual blessing and victory, we are not dealing with doctrines - we are dealing with the Lord of all doctrine! We are dealing with a Person who is the Resurrection and the Source from whom flows all doctrine and all truth.
How can we be so ignorant and so dull that we try to find our spiritual answers and the abounding life by looking beyond the only One who has promised that He would never change? How can we so readily slight the Christ of God who has limitless authority throughout the universe?
How long should it take us to yield completely and without reservation to this One who has been made both Lord and Christ - and yet continues to be the very same Jesus who still loves us with an everlasting love?
The very same Jesus - who knows all your troubles and weaknesses and sins, and loves you in spite of everything!
