Only in the power of the Holy Spirit can we stand.
When everyone and everything we depend upon is unavailable we will finally get it…ALONE WE CAN DO NOTHING….in utter dependence upon God He will lift us up.
The world as we know it is finite but God is not and with His infinite mercy He provided salvation for man in Jesus Christ …. it is truly finished.
infinite |ˈinfənit|
adjective
1 limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate: the infinite mercy of God
In the first century, the Jews looked for a Messiah who would deliver the nation from Roman domination, become their King, and rebuild the nation of Israel to its former glory. By looking for a military deliverer and a political Messiah, the Jews minimized the messianic roles of prophet and priest.
Thus many Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah because He came as a humble spiritual Savior and not a conquering political ruler.
