The Sent One

“Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.’” (John 6:29) Men asked what they could do that looked like God was doing it. Jesus answered their question. He declared God was at work in them to trust in the One He had sent. It is Father’s good pleasure to raise up to Himself many sons. Father had sent many judges, kings, and prophets. He also sent His One and Only Son to raise up to Father, many of whom would trust Him to accomplish His promises. Every moment is a moment to lean on Jesus. Father, thank You for Jesus in whose lap I may rest. There, I abide in His love, care, joy, and good pleasure. There is no other God. He is the righteous One. There is none except Him.
