ALL THINGS THAT THE FATHER HATH ARE MINE.

 

MARCH 14.
 
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!
 

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!

 
James Smith 1849
