Just as He said He would

Today’s blog post is contributed by Daid Trotta:

But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.  He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said He would. (Matthew 28:5-6)

“Just as He said He would.”

Those are 6 very powerful words.  They are at the core of our Christian faith.  Without them, our faith crumbles.

Before going to the cross, Jesus told His disciples He would rise again and that’s exactly what He did.  He proved that He keeps His promises and demonstrated that He can be taken at His word. 

The bible is full of promises, and they all have the potential to end with those same 6 words if we would just choose to believe God.  I can hear the testimonies now….

He has met all my needs (Philippians 4:19), just as He said He would.

He has shed His love abroad in my heart (Romans 5:5), just as He said He would.

He has given me the words to say at just the right time (Luke 12:12), just as He said He would.

He has generously given me wisdom (James 1:5), just as He said He would.

Will you say amen to God’s promises in the midst of whatever you are facing today?  Agreeing with God will release faith into your circumstances.

Then, you too will be able to testify of His faithfulness with the same ending declaration – “just as He said He would.”
