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.

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
