God Is on Your Sideনমুনা

GOD IS IN THE BUILDING
When you’re shaking with anxiety, laid low with depression, or groping in the darkness for a sense of purpose, you might find yourself wondering if God is committed to your good. Is he really on your side?
There’s a place I love to go when wondering whether God is on my side: the gospel of John. John introduces us to Jesus as the Word made flesh, the Creator entering our side of creation: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:14 NIV). Jesus is the spoken Word who has entered our spoken world—the audio become visual—to find you and be with you forever. This means God is in it with us. Literally. You might feel like God’s left the building, but in Christ, he has entered the building to be with you forever.
In Christ, he is on your side of creation.
John also introduces us to Jesus as the Lamb of God, the Innocent One who steps onto our side as the guilty, to die in our place. Like that sponge I use when my kid spills spaghetti all over the floor, soaking up the mess until the tile is pristine again, Jesus “takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 NIV). This means God fights for you. Jesus has come to bear your guilt, to soak up your shame, to win you back. He isn’t willing to let you go without a fight. He has gone the ultimate distance—all the way to hell and back—to be with you forever.
He is on your side in salvation.
One last image: John introduces us to Jesus as the ladder we need, with “angels of God ascending and descending” on him (John 1:51NIV). The risen Jesus brings his side of heaven to our side of earth. He wants to unite you to himself and make you like rungs on his ladder. This means God wants to work through you.
He is on your side in restoration.
Maybe you feel like you don’t have purpose. Yet God wants to dwell not only with you but also within you, to fill you with his Spirit and form you as his body. He wants to partner with you in bringing heaven to earth. There’s no greater calling than that.
In what areas of your life do you most need to remember that God is on your side?
