SCRIPTURE: John (NIV) 8:28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
OBSERVATION: Special note: the One who sent Him, was also with Him. According to His own words, “He was not left alone.” The Heavenly Father was with Jesus.
Jesus was aware of the presence of the Omnipresent God. Even as he laid aside His deity to live as a man on earth, he had fellowship with His Father. He often spoke to and with Him. His awareness of the presence of His Heavenly Father can be seen in many places.
APPLICATION: Special note: the One who sent me, is also with me! As Jesus did not live His life on His own, so He has designed that I not live my life on my own. He has promised to never leave me or forsake me. He sent His Holy Spirit to empower me to minister to others in His name. I am not here on my own. Jesus and the Father have made me their dwelling! (John 14:23) My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit!
Jesus did not drop me off, leave me on my own, promise to check up on me from time to time, and finally promise to return later to take me where He lives. He sent me here; He remains with me; He does His work through me.
PRAYER: Jesus, it is you and me—we are in this together! My desire—to always do what pleases you! Amen
