John 3:16 says that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. This verse is a basic verse about salvation. The Word says that Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.
Zacchaeus sat on the top of the fig tree and Nathanael sat under the fig tree. Jesus saw both men . Jesus saw Zacchaeus who was busy collecting taxes. Jesus saw his life. Zacchaeus is sitting on top of a tree to see Jesus. Jesus said to him, I will eat dinner with you today. Jesus said I will fellowship with you in your house.
Nathanael was sitting under the fig tree when Jesus came. Nathanael’s complaint was that no one would bring me into the house of God. Jesus tells Nathanael that you will see greater things than this.
asks another. What must I do to be saved Lord? Jesus tells him to sell everything you have and give to the poor. He returned reluctantly.
What is Jesus saying here? The verse reminds us that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. A camel is an animal that carries all the water in its body for its journey. That camel will never shed its water and the eye of a needle will never become bigger. If you let go of things in life that should be left , you will find ways to salvation.
He will never leave you. He will never reject you. Will not forsake you . Peter spoke with the assurance of his life experiences. Peter- Left the boat and the net.- Loved Jesus- Followed Jesus. He left behind all his desires and followed Jesus. If Peter and his friends cast net and caught fish while they were in the boat, Jesus is the one who is holding him today.
Word says believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, so that you and your family will be saved. The word that comes out of my mouth will not return unless it has fulfilled its purpose.
That big ark prepared for us two thousand years ago. The door of the ark of salvation is still not closed.
Jesus who made us righteous in the presence of the Father and called us to the experience of eternal salvation, to the wonderful light of eternal heaven and eternal home is always faithfull.
