In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds you that YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD.
Jesus uses the word "father" 5 times in the short reading of 3 verses (Matthew 11:25-27)
"I thank you, FATHER, Lord of heaven and earth” - Matthew 11:25
"yes, FATHER, for such was your gracious will” - Matthew 11:26 "All things have been delivered to me by my FATHER” - Matthew 11:27A "no one knows the Son except the FATHER, & no one knows the FATHER except the Son” - Matthew 11:27
Jesus calls God “Father”, “Abba”, “Papa”, “Daddy”.
This is the reason that why the scribes & Pharisees wanted Him dead.
Here’s the good news - God wants the same intimate relationship with you!
So don't believe the lies that this world tells you. That “you're nothing” or “you’re worthless”.
Maybe failures in life made you weak.
Maybe your problems has scarred you.
Maybe sin has taken over your life.
Don’t believe what the world & sin tells you. Believe Jesus.
Because your value is not based on your wealth.
It’s not based on your fame.
Your value is not based on your social media followers.
Or how many LIKES your posts gets.
You're VALUABLE because a PERFECT GOD LOVES the IMPERFECT YOU.
God calls you His child. You’re His son or daughter.
That makes you SUPER VALUABLE!
Why is that important? Because being child-like before God allows you to know God. We need to practice humility to KNOW GOD.
On the other hand, the greatest obstacle in knowing Him is pride. We know that “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6)
Jesus calls us to be humble like an innocent child so that God may reveal Himself to us.
"I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven & earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise & understanding & revealed them to infants” - Matthew 11:25
To KNOW GOD you need to know WHO YOU REALLY ARE. That you are a child of God.
Starting today, make a decision to FOLLOW, LISTEN, TALK & REMAIN with your HOLY DADDY.
