Tractor Power
"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me'" (Matthew 28:18).
Scripture Focus: Acts 1:1-8
A favorite event at county fairs is the tractor pulling contest. Massive engines roar as each huge tractor tries to pull more weight than the others. The power generated is enormous.
The Bible is full of verses about the power of God. We see His power in nature and in the transforming work He does in our lives. Several years ago I watched God instantly transform a dying alcoholic into a redeemed, victorious believer. The other day I heard that same man testify of his deliverance. He is an example of God's power at work.
Jesus said the Holy Spirit would empower us to go into the whole world and share the good news of salvation. We have all the power we need to tell the greatest story ever told: the story of our Savior.
We have power to overcome the temptation to sin. Satan is crafty and relentless, but the Bible says, "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). We have all the power of heaven and earth on our side. And that is enough to win every battle!
Insight: Let's open our lives to the power of God, allowing Him to use our words and deeds to bring joy to a hopeless world.
