We need to hold to Christ’s teachings, believing in him, if we are to escape the world. We need to obey his teachings if we are to experience him and his Father, God. We need to experience him by his own volition, coming to us. We need to find ourselves the subject of his Father’s loving demonstration of that almighty sovereign power, wielding Nature for our protection. We need to see how Jesus operates. We need to see how he and the Father cooperate. The Father supplying the power over Nature. The Son having the faith to present that power to you, in a way that matters to your situation, knowing he has the Father’s love as well as all that power to back him up. The Father has his back and he has yours, if you are target of his love, if you love him and obey his commands. Jesus Christ died for you. Now he is Lord and he wants to be the one who holds up the umbrella over your head so you can put your umbrella down and not get soaked by the rainstorm.
