Gospel Reflections #585: In God's Strength

John 3:14 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up."

Moses followed God's calling to lead the people of Israel.

It would not have been easy for the aged Moses.

Jesus also had to die on the cross to fulfill the plan of salvation for mankind.

Although the separation from God was more painful than death, Jesus chose to follow God's will to fulfill God's promises, not his own.

There will come a time when we, too, will follow Jesus and be raised up in this world.

It may not be in the form of victory, but in the form of defeat.

God has shown us that in this world we are not to stand above people, but to support and accept them from below.

This is not something we do in our own strength, but something God manifests through us.

Therefore, we should not get in God's way, but should always give our hearts to God so that He can work abundantly in us.

For God's miracles come from within us!
