There’s enough power in this little verse to ponder for an entire year. Just think: every promise that the Father has ever made finds its fulfilment in his Son, the Lord Jesus.

When God promises that he will impart to us grace, he gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace. When God promises to give us peace, he gives us Jesus, the Prince of peace. The promise of comfort? He gives us the Lord of all comfort. And when he imputes to us his righteousness, he gives us his Son, the Lord of righteousness. Even life finds its source in Jesus, the Word of life.
The familiar promise of Romans 8:28-29 finds its fulfilment in Christ: “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him…For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son”. This wonderful promise is fulfilled in Jesus.
Jesus is everything to you — the answer to your every hope, prayer, and promise. The Christian walk is not so complicated after all. It is simple. It is…Jesus. And I say, “Amen” to that.
Revelation 3:14 says, “These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.” The word amen means “so be it” and “so it will be” and “so it is.” Today what can you say “Amen!” to? How is Jesus the “so be it” in your life?
