As I was listening to the Billy Graham channel on SXM radio in my car, one of his messages was on why Ezekiel said that only Noah/Daniel/Job would be saved, because of their righteousness, from the judgment of God. Billy wondered why God told Ezekiel those three men, and Billy heard the Spirit say because Noah overcame the world. Daniel overcame the flesh. Job overcame the devil.
I had always wondered ‘why’ as well. Never thought of it that way.
Were these three men perfect and without sin? No. But they overcame what was in the way – in their pursuit of finishing their ‘call’ from God. What’s my call from God? What’s yours?
It’s not how we start; it’s how we finish – that matters to God. He knows we are sinners in desperate need of His grace, wisdom and strength. We need to understand that as well. That’s why it’s all about Jesus Christ and not any one of us, lest the CROSS OF CHRIST BE EMPTIED OF ITS POWER!
