Sinless Son Of God

"Ahab said to Elijah, So you have found me, my enemy!” “I have found you, he answered, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the LORD." (1 Kings 21:20)

Scripture Focus: 1 Kings 21:1-29

King Ahab was used to getting what he wanted and his devious advisers found ways to meet his selfish desires. But one day Ahab met a man of honor, and it simply bewildered him.

Naboth, the honorable man, owned a vineyard that stood where the king wanted to grow a vegetable garden. But Naboth refused to sell because the vineyard was Naboth's family inheritance. That's when those advisers came in. They had Naboth murdered so Ahab could steal his land.

It's hard to believe that this injustice would take place over a garden. Gardens are places of peace, provision and beauty. But sin doesn't care where it rears its ugly head. In this world even wonderful things can become tools of evil.

That's why we must look to Jesus, “The author and perfecter of our faith." (Hebrews 12:2). Looking at the sinless Son of God, we have a standard to judge all things by. He teaches us to be wary of the sin that so easily entangles. Thankfully, we have the assurance that someday He will make all things new.

Insight: Sin can appear in unexpected places and do unspeakable damage. But it can't touch the sinless Son of God. Dwell in him today.
