VOT: July 5, 2024- Jesus, our Guarantor and Sure Foundation. Whenever we need to purchase earthly goods or anything we cannot fully pay for, we often ask for a guarantor. However, in Christ we have an eternal guarantee or security because He purchased it for man (us) for free with His precious Blood. Hence we can boldly approach the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace and favour any time we are in need. Unlike Man, Jesus is our surety, who does not expect material gifts from us except our willingness and obedience to hearken unto His voice or yield to divine instructions. When we heed to His voice diligently we receive unlimited blessings effortlessly. The struggle is eradicated and peace is restored. Jesus, “The Sure Foundation” guarantees Peace. He gives peace that surpasses all understanding. The strength and durability of a building is dependent on the foundation laid at the preparatory stage. If the foundation is not strong or solid, the building cannot last long. If we want our lives to be peaceful and joyful, we must give our hearts to Jesus Christ, the prince of peace and the joy of the world. A life with Christ is one of Peace and in one piece while a life without Christ is shattered or broken to pieces. When we come to Jesus Christ, He puts back the broken pieces into one beautiful piece like the puzzle. Jesus Christ is the sure Foundation that guarantees joy and peace. “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”” John 16:33 NKJV “Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily.” Isaiah 28:16 NKJV. ”Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.“ Hebrews 4:16 NKJV ”By so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.“ Hebrews 7:22 NKJV ”But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.“ Hebrews 8:6 NKJV. ”Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.“ Hebrews 10:19-23 NKJV
