Privileged Information

202 - Today's Prime Time Devo comes from 2Ti 1:9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, The Holy Spirit, speaking through Paul, continues to provide us with more information about Jesus and God's plan for salvation. This plan was in place before the beginning of time, and the beginning of time as we know it, occurred on the 4th day of creation, “Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;” (Gen 1:14) Now some may say that time began on day one, because a day speaks of a specified length of time. I won't argue that point, I'm just saying that time in the way we MARK it began on the fourth day when God said let there be lights to divide day from night, and let them be for days and years. How long were those first three days? I say, we really don't know. The boundaries of time as we know them were not set in place until the fourth day! But let's not get caught up in that debate now, rather let us take by faith that God had a plan in place to save fallen mankind from eternity! He is omniscient, (all knowing) from eternity and though this fact can elicit all sorts of questions regarding the Sovereignty of God and the free will of man, again, let us not get bogged down in that debate at this time. Rather let us rejoice in the fact that the plan was unfolded before our very eyes with the birth of a promised Redeemer in a little town called Bethlehem over 2000 years ago! As Jesus said in Lu 10:24 "for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it." What a privilege for us to live in such a time as this! Concrete evidence in the resurrection of Jesus that proves the abolishment of death. Life and immortality for all who believe! Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and live!
