Gospel Reflections #531: God was with Him

Acts 10:38 “I am talking about Jesus of Nazareth. God has anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went around helping people and healing all who were afflicted by demons, because God was with him."

Jesus came as a human being into the world to bring us back.

He left behind the authority and power of God and came as a human being to this world.

He came to earth as a human being like us, but unlike us, he was connected to God the Father in heaven.

He looked to God the Father in heaven for the power to work on our behalf. He gave us what God the Father had given him and used it in our lives.

When we desire to cooperate with God's work, unless we seek the work of the Holy Spirit rather than our own power, no matter how good the work may be on the outside, it will have no meaning as God's work.

Jesus was able to do various works because God was with him.

Unless we are led by the Holy Spirit and used by the Holy Spirit, we too will be mere works of the world.

When we want to do something for God, God prepares all the people and things we need, and when the giver and the given are ready, He gives us the encounter.

God's plans and guidance are perfect for everything!
