The One Who is Greater

The One Who is Greater

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” -1 JOHN 4:4 John declares that no matter what comes against us, the One within us is Greater. It does not matter what you feel like, what you see, what you hear, what people say, or what the devil does. It does not matter if Lazarus is dead for four days and is beginning to stink. It does not matter if the girl dies before Jesus can get there. It does not matter if the waves are about to capsize the boat. It does not matter if Paul is stoned and left for dead. Lazarus will be raised, the girl will be brought back to life, and the storm will be silenced, and Paul will preach again. The Greater is always Greater, and the Lesser is always Lesser. We only have a problem when we see everything else as “greater” and see Christ as “lesser.” Source: "The Irresistible Kingdom"  by Chip Brogden http://www.chipbrogden.com/books/the-irresistible-kingdom Like this?
