In the face of so much turmoil and chaos in this physical realm that we’re in, questions are being cried out all over the world. People are needing answers. We who are His must understand the reasons why. And then, some of us ourselves are inquiring, because we too are asking, what is going on, and why is this happening, right?

It depends on where we are in our walk with God as to what our thought processes, ideas, maybe fears, and some doubts may be. But today no matter where we are in our process, whatever we are looking for, it can be found in Jesus. He is “the” answer. He said, “ I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man come unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6, KJV)”. He gave us many parables as to who He is to us and it covers every aspect of our lives and every issue and situation that could arise today, there is nothing new under the sun. It may appear to be new to us, and the reason may be, because we have not experienced Him personally in those areas. Yes, we have read about it, but did we fully understand what we read?  

Jesus became what He needed to be to reach those who needed rescuing. When He was with the fishermen, He spoke in the language the fishermen could understand. He gave them solid information on how to catch fish. Yes, Jesus the Carpenter, told them after they (the professional fishermen) had been trying all night to catch fish and came up empty to go out to the deep and let their nets down. And y’all know us, the ones who think we know it all, said to Him, we already been doing that…can we pause right there, thank you. This may be one of the reasons we can’t get “the” answer, because we think we already know everything about a particular topic, field, profession, what you think? But I am so glad someone in the boat had some sense and said, nevertheless, at Your word, we will do it; they obeyed, caught so many fish their nets broke because they couldn’t hold them. 

To the sheep, He was the Shepherd, who would care for us, so we wouldn’t want for anything. Those who were hungry, He became the Provider by feeding them, His Father, when the children of Israel were wandering in the dessert. He himself, the multitudes who followed after Him with two fish and five loaves of bread, on several occasions. He was a Physician who healed all who asked and believed. And most importantly, because we all were born into sin, with unclean blood, all of mankind, needed a sacrificial Lamb, with pure blood to take away the sins of the world. Guess who that was y’all, Jesus!

He left the invisible realm and came to our visible world to pay a debt that justice was demanding from us: death. We had a problem, but thank God He had a ready answer, He gave His only begotten Son, to redeem us back to Him, that we could be sons again, in right standing, by His blood, death and rising again. And now that we have been purchased by Him and our minds are transformed and renewed, we too should always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks us to give the reason for the hope that we have, especially now in the times we are living in today. Amen? Amen.
