Job 1:11 But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.

Job 2:5 But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.

I said yesterday that Jesus removed my accuser. Let me be clear on this issue. Satan is the accuser and he did so before God in the heavenly realm.

Note closely that Satan accuses twice. First on possessions and secondly on physical health.

These are two areas of our personal life in which we feel blessings and curses. This is not in the heavenly realm but the earthly realm.

John 16:33

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

1 John 4:4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

1 John 5:4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

1 Corinthians 15:56-57 English Standard Version

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He won me over.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Not everyone is looking for God the Father.

Opportunities to witness Jesus come when others open up to us.

A self checkout clerk at my local store is a very sociable young lady. Helpful and chatty and often takes the time to engage in friendly banter. We have become acquainted and have shared enough to build a level of trust.

Yesterday she used the word truth and I saw an opening and took the opportunity to witness Jesus Christ to her.

I shared with her my definition of truth which opened the door just a crack.

Truth stands alone and is not dependent on our awareness, understanding or intellect.

The door opened wider, she was intrigued.

The conversation came around to trust and my source of truth being dependent on my trust of the one that has proven Himself trustworthy and has never lied to me, even when He had hard truths to share.

The woman caught in sin came up and I pointed out what Jesus did for her. “Where are your accusers?” Jesus didn’t accuse her of her sins, removing her accusers.

That is what Jesus has done for me and why I trust Him.

Truth is a man and His name is Jesus. 

Now that she has heard that, perhaps she will begin to ponder the other elements of John 14:6 leading her to God the Father, who she wasn’t looking for before that conversation.
