Such strong affirmation of God to us in Christ Jesus. No more you shall but I WILL. God resting in Christ finished work (John 17:4, 19:30) and so to we. (Hebrews 4:9-11) amen Reading in Matthew this morning and was struck again of Gods heart and will for us. In Matthew 8:3 Jesus responding to the leper saying I WIll and put forth His hand and touched Him making Him clean.
First and foremost seeing the One who wrote the Law fulfilling it in Himself. (Matthew 5:17-showing only God can for man failed time after time) For the law says the leper to be put out of the camp and not be touched or make you unclean. Seeing our Gods heart of love (John 3:16-17) and salvation in the Truth of the Grace of God (John 1:14,17) from the Cross. He touched the leper making Him clean and thus saving Him. No law of condemnation (Romans 8:1-2) but grace making the leper and us righteous. (II Corinthians 5:21)
Jesus heart and thus the Fathers (John 10:30, I John 4:9-10, 19) of love to us all. Once untouchable and out of the camp but now in Christ Jesus restored and brought home. The children of God. (Ephesians 1:3-9) Father not satisfied for some but would that all come. (II Peter 3:9) HIS WILL of love and grace and restoration ever in and before us. Hallelujahs ring, Selah
