[Continuing his talk with Nicodemus, Jesus said,]
"No one has ever gone to heaven and returned. But the Son of Man has come down from heaven."
—John 3:13 NLT
What is something that only you can do? Now think for a moment; is it really something only you can do? No one else in the world can do it? No one else but you has ever done it? There are things that only Jesus could do. Only Jesus was part of heaven and came to earth as a human. Jesus is the only person who is one with the Father. Only one was sent from the Father's side to return there in glory. There are many reasons to believe and obey the words that Jesus says. He reminds us of one very important reason: He was sent from heaven as the Word of God to speak the words of God to us. He came with heavenly authority and heavenly identity. Only he is the Son. Only he is truly from heaven. Only Jesus!
Father, in my frustrations, trials, disappointments, discouragements, and fears, pull my heart close to Jesus. Holy God, in my failures, sins, rebellious moments, and weakness in the face of temptation, please bring me back to my Savior. I recognize that my hope, my future, my salvation, and my glory are found only in Jesus. Even now, dear Father, I am thankful that as I pray, he is at your side and makes my heart fully known before the throne of grace, so I pray in his name. Amen.
