August 13
The concept of being on an equal footing—in any regard—with the Lord Jesus Christ is mind boggling, and even smacks of sacrilege. Yet He has indicated that indeed He sees those who believe in Him, those who have surrendered to Him, those who have learned of Him, in just that way.
In John 15:15 He says, “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” That is an absolutely mind-defying concept! Imagine, the Creator of the universe has shared His secrets with man!
Jesus has assured that we know the secrets of life as they regard salvation. He has unfolded His plan whereby man might be saved to those who will simply receive it. Man needn’t wonder how to navigate through the rough water of the Sea of Life in order to attain Heaven’s shore, for Jesus has shared His secret.
Perhaps most astounding is that in receiving the truth that He imparts to those who will trust in and learn of Him, man is also given the amazing privilege of ruling and reigning with the Lord! (II Timothy 2:12; Revelation 5:10) That such honor would be bestowed is beyond the ken of man who is made worthy of such esteem by Heaven’s perfect King.
