2 Corinthians 1:19-22
English Standard Version (ESV)
This is one of my favorite passages in Scripture. God has made countless promises throughout Scripture, and in Jesus, they all find their Yes. Everything God has been doing points to the selfless love and sacrifice of Jesus, and Jesus' love for us points back to God. All those questions we have about whether or not God cares for us and looks out for us, they all find their Yes in the Good Shepherd, who lays down his life for his sheep. All of our doubts and our fears and our steady anxieties, they find peace in the One who walks with us every day of our lives. Jesus is the Yes, the affirmation of God's great love.
Do you remember how in Romans it says that nothing in all of creation will separate you from the love of God? Jesus is the affirmation of that promise. God will never leave you nor forsake you? Look to Jesus -- he is the Yes to that promise. God is preparing a place for you? Jesus is the Yes, his resurrection the affirmation of God's great power.
All of it -- in Jesus, we have the Yes!
