Luke 2:52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

If we have any doubt Jesus was a man, then we need to re-read passages like this! Jesus continued to learn and grow in wisdom as He learned from God, His earthly parents, and the people around Him.

God is not a God stuck in Heaven who has no understanding of what it is like to be human – He came to us in human form to demonstrate He does know us!

Depend on Christ because He knows you more than you realise!

John 5:44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

The longer we seek glory from other people instead of recognition from God, the longer we will be tempted by greed and power.

God wants us to focus on Him in our lives so we will be more likely to hear Him and listen to Him instead of the world around us.

Will you give more time to God today so you can learn a bit more about what He knows is best for you?

John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice

I wonder what the people thought when Jesus was telling them these words – that the dead would hear God’s voice and would rise to live!

I wonder what they thought when Jesus brought people back to life!

These are the promises given by God, retold by Jesus. These are the promises we can stand on.

Christ will come again. We will be with God in the end!
