Let us come to Abba Father.
This is what we have heard:
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6
Don’t we like to come to the Father ? Yes, we who love Jesus love to come to the Father. We will be delighted to come to the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Likewise, we heard :
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. -John 6:44
So how we are come to the Lord when our Lord have said that no one come to Him unless the Father who sent our Lord draws us.
Why our Lord have said what He has said ?
How the Father draws us that we can come to the Son, that through the Son that we can come to the Father ?
Let us understand what our Lord have said :
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14:6
Let us understand our Lord’s way, that is, His ways.
This is what we have heard:
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. -Isaiah 55:8
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:9
Why do the Lord concerns about telling us that our ways are not His ways ?
This is what we have heard:
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. -Psalms 25:8
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble His way. -Psalms 25:9
So have we realized that we are sinners whom the Lord instruct in the way, that is, Christ ?!
So have we humbled ourselves that He might teach us His way, that is, Christ ?!
How are we going to know that He teach and instruct us ?
Who is the man who fears the LORD? him ( that is us ) will He instruct in the way that he should choose. -Psalms 25:12
So have we feared the Lord ? Have we understood to fear the Lord ?
For our Heavenly Father have spoken in Proverbs 2.
For we heard :
THEN you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. -Proverbs 2:5
That is why the Lord said to us :
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. -Isaiah 55:8
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:9
Unless we meditate His ways and walk in His ways, we will never understand His thoughts.
Haven’t the apostle Paul told us this :
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. -Ephesians 5:1
As children of God ! Don’t we imitate the Father God ? Can’t we imitate the way He thinks ? Shouldn’t we have thoughts like the Lord ?
Have apostle Paul told us this :
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. -Colossians 3:2
Haven’t the Lord spoken this :
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. -Isaiah 55:9
Aren’t His ways are from above ?
Aren’t His thoughts from above ?
And higher than our ways and our thoughts !
So how will we come to the Father ?
