The One Man Pleasing to God

And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth.

Noah walked with God.

I do always the things that are pleasing to Him.
Genesis 6:5; Genesis 6:9; John 8:29

The One Man Pleasing to God
The Lord Jesus Himself reminds us that as the days of Noah were, so shall they be again before His coming as the Son of Man. While this speaks of His coming in glory, yet we see all around us the increase of public violence and corruption (Mt. 24:37-38).

In the days of Noah, Jehovah looked at the earth and saw corruption and violence everywhere. The imagination of man's heart was only evil continually. Yet, there was one man who stood out as pleasing to Him: Noah. He walked with God. He was obedient, for He did what Jehovah commanded (Gen. 6:22).

Does this not give us a little picture of what it must have been for the Father when our blessed Lord Jesus Christ was here in this world? Judaism had deteriorated into a self-righteous, covetous, hypocritical religion. Yet, in the midst of such, the Lord walked here entirely pleasing to His Father, always doing those things that pleased Him! The commandments which the Father gave Him, He would carry out (Jn. 14:31). His obedience was perfect. Every word He spoke reflected in a perfect way the Father. At last, a Man in this world in whom God could fully rest.

Our God and Father, we draw near to Thee

In all the worth of Thy beloved Son;

All Thou hast e'er desired from man we see

In Him, Thy Christ, Thine own anointed One.

No thought of His e'er moved apart from Thine;

Each holy footstep gave Thee fresh delight;

Perfect expression of Thy will divine

Thou hadst in Himâ€”come forth from glory bright.

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
(2 Peter 3:18)

God in His grace has centered every blessing for us in Christ. Without Christ, we have nothing, nothing but our sins; with Christ we have all things, and therefore want nothing in addition to Christ. As...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
