THE FAITH OF JESUS

 THE FAITH OF JESUS

TEXT: “Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.”  Psalm 22:9

Psalm 22 is a Messianic psalm which speaks of the life and death of the Messiah. As a man Jesus walked and lived by faith. The gift of faith belonged preeminently to the Lord Jesus and His life and His example is the greatest example of believing faith.

The following quote is a tad long but well worth the contemplation. It was made by a Baptist preacher named J C Philpot (1802-1869):

“There is not a grace or fruit of the Spirit possessed by His people that the Lord Himself did not possess without measure.Jesus was a man of unusual faith;

Faith in all its actings

Hope in all its anchorings

Love in all its flowings

Patience in all its endurings

Humility in all its submittings

Prayer in all its supplications

Praise in all its adorings

Obedience in all its yieldings

Holiness in all its flames and 

Worship in all its fervor … all, all of these graces and fruits of the Spirit are seen shining forth as heavenly light in the personal experience of the Lord Jesus.”

Jesus was an obedient Son on this earth who walked totally by faith and not by sight!
