Look for and proclaim Jesus until His second coming.

July 30,2012

Proverbs 30:4      “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists?  Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is his son’s name, it thou canst tell?”

            Old testament believers expected the Messiah to be the Son of the Blessed. (In Mark 14 the High Priest asked Jesus, Art thou the Son of the Blessed One?)  In Proverbs also he is spoken of as a distinct person thought not yet named. This particular verse spells out Jesus in all His majesty, power, and honor. No one has ascended into heaven prior to Jesus. Jesus gathered the wind in his fist on the lake when Peter showed temporary faith. The flood of tear water was bound up in the garments left behind at the resurrection.  The ends of the world have been established as the time when Jesus returns! We now know the names IAM and Jesus. The Wisdom of all times is shown in this verse—Jesus is proclaimed and promised here!

Lord, we love You today and know Your Word tells us to look for and proclaim Jesus until His second coming. Allow us, Father, to be faithful to the charge and proclaim Jesus and His work. Use us to spread Your words of promise and hope to the ends of the earth and time as we know it now. For Your service we live.     Amen.
