Wednesday showers of blessings come from 1 Thessalonians 3:11 "Now may our GOD and FATHER HIMSELF, and our LORD JESUS CHRIST, direct our way to you."
Why does Paul direct his prayer to GOD The FATHER and LORD JESUS CHRIST? They are co-equal, co-exist and co-essential. In the time of Paul, believing in the Deity of JESUS was a big deal. You can see in our Confessions of faith. The Creeds were written to clearly show what we believe as Christians. Even today, many religions and some who profess to be Christians still dont believe JESUS as GOD, the Only SAVIOUR and the Only Way to the FATHER. This part of our faith is very crucial because it distinguishes us from the rest of the people of the world. This faith is only possible to those in a relationship with CHRIST JESUS, whose eyes and hearts are opened to the full knowledge of CHRIST. Pray that the HOLY SPIRIT reveal such mysteries in your life. Amen.
Blessings and Shalom
Rev and Family
