All
things that the Father hath are mine.
John
16:15
HERE
is an indirect proof of the Divinity of Jesus;
for if he claims and possesses all that the father hath,
he must be God.
But
all things that the Father hath,
belongs to Jesus;
that Jesus in whom we trust,
to whom we are united, and
with whom we shall live forever.
Jesus
possesses the Divine nature equally with the Father,
and is God overall, blessed for evermore.
He
claims all the Divine attributes and perfections;
and they are all ascribed to him in the Holy Scriptures.
He
wears all the Divine names and,
shares in the honour of all the Divine works.
His
are all the boundless resources of the universe.
As
all things were created by him,
so also they were created for him.
All
power is given under him in heaven and in earth;
therefore we may look to him for all that we need,
flee to him from all we fear, and
trust him with all we value.
Let
us this day exercise our minds on this glorious fact.
Precious
Lord Jesus,
help me to rejoice in thee,
expect from thee,
and labour by all means to glorify thee!
James
Smith 1849

Jesus,
is there not in thee,
Grace,
sufficient grace for me?
Let
me now, with thee, receive
All
thou dost to sinners give;
All
thou hast, and all thou art,
Dwell
for ever in my heart!
