“Yes” and “Amen”

For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.

2 Corinthians 1:20

God said to Adam: “I have made you in my image for my glory to choose my world made for you.”

Jesus said: “I will come, Second Adam, to do Your will, O God.”

God said: “All have sinned and fall short of my glory.”

Jesus said: “ I will live and die for Your glory.”

God said: “In Adam, all die.”

Jesus said: “the one who believes in me will never die.”

God said: “Like sheep you have gone astray.”

Jesus said: I am the Good Shepherd Who gives His life for the sheep.”

Satan said: “Worship me and I’ll give You the world.”

Jesus said: “Worship only the Lord.”

His disciples said: “Show us the kingdom!”

Jesus said: “Follow Me.”

The crowds said: “Crucify Him!”

Jesus said: “My life is mine to lay down.”

The grave said: “Hold Him!”

Jesus said: “I will rise.”

The disciples said: “He is risen!”

Jesus said: “Go and make disciples until I return.”

Every promise ever made is complete because Jesus is the Living Word, the great “YES!” to every promise and the reverser of the curse. And we praise Him with our enthusiastic “AMEN!”
