Gospel Reflections #693: We have someone who will never turn us down

Revelation 1:17 “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. And he laid his right hand on me, and said. 'Fear not, for I am the first. I am the first and the last."

God is a holy being, and we are unclean beings, so normally we would be destroyed just by being in the same space.

But God lays his hands on us.

He uses Jesus, the conduit of reconciliation, as an intermediary so that we do not perish.

Jesus is our mediator, but he has existed since before creation, and it was he who initiated the plan for the salvation of mankind when the earth was defeated by sin, and it is he who will conclude that plan.

God has unconditionally prepared the way of salvation.

All that remains is for us to accept the invitation.

It is our God who made us, redeems us, guides us, and finally completes us.

Jesus is coming for us soon!
