He Won't Let You Down


Luke 11:5-13

Good News Translation (GNT)


 5 And Jesus said to his disciples, 
         Suppose one of you should go to a friend's house at midnight and say, 
         Friend, let me borrow three loaves of bread.6 A friend of mine who is on a trip has just come to my house, and I don't have any food for him!


   7 And suppose your friend should answer from inside, 
         Don't bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.8 Well, what then? I tell you that even if he will not get up and give you the bread because you are his friend, yet he will get up and give you everything you need because you are not ashamed to keep on asking.9 And so I say to you: Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.10 For those who ask will receive, and those who seek will find, and the door will be opened to anyone who knocks.11 Would any of you who are fathers give your son a snake when he asks for fish?12 Or would you give him a scorpion when he asks for an egg?13 As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual Significance

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. "One day, a wise friend helped me understand this verse more fully by saying, “Apart from me you can do nothing  of spiritual significance,  nothing  of   etern al value.” - Caran Jantzen

A Necessary Sacrifice

Hebrews 2:16-18 New Living Translation (NLT) 16 We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[a] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
