Our Scripture reading today is 2 Corinthians 1:20, "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."
God the Father will always say "yes" to His Son. God the Father will always affirm anything the Son has to say. "We might never have had this precious verse if Paul had not been so ill-treated by these men of Corinth. They did him great wrong, and caused him much sorrow of heart… yet you see how the evil was overruled by God for good, and through their unsavoury gossip and slander this sweet sentence was pressed out of Paul." (Spurgeon)
We are also blessed to have the promises of God waiting to be claimed in our daily lives. His Word is secure and sure. A promise that Jesus Christ gave in John 14 is, "I will come again." We should be looking for this promise to be fulfilled every day. This week's preaching has been a great reminder of what is to come and why we ought to be concerned about how we live our lives following our salvation.
