Above Every Name: Thomas

Monday 24 February 2020

Thomas

He has been most often referred to as “the doubter”, but today we see him as uttering the most profound things on each of the occasions that he was recorded:

Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with Him. John 11:16

Well said Thomas - that is exactIy what we are to be doing each and every day; I die daily. 1 Corinthians 15:31

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way? John 14:5

There is only One Way that we can know The Way; Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. John 14:6

But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe. John 20:24,25

We have all fallen for the devil’s trap of this one at times, demanding to “see” the evidence, before we will believe.

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing. John 20:26,27

Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God. John 20:28

Now, that is the most perfect response that we can ever give!

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten” Revelation 3:19; Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:29

Thank you Thomas!

Thank you John for recording his words; they are all we need to know -

N.B. the next words:

And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. John 20:30,31

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the LORD; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 1 Corinthians 4:5

Caution! Should you decide to do “any good thing” that you may have seen on this or any affiliated site, it will prove to be futile, superficial and short-lived at best. Only as Christ abides and lives His life in you, moment by moment, is it possible, and only He can produce a permanent, eternal victory. With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. For without Me ye can do nothing.

Enoch

And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him. Jude 14,15

And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Genesis 5:21-24

Enoch is our surety that what Christ says, He will do -

Enoch is 5405 years old this year.

1:1

The everlasting gospel is an individual work in each individual heart. As Christ lives His life out in and through you, with His mind, He will guide you to operate as He does. Even when speaking to thousands each one will be addressed individually. Time is never wasted when devoted to one single person. The Good Shepherd looks after and cares for the single lamb. The most important and glorious truths Christ has had recorded were to a one soul audience.

The operating policy of Above Every Name is based on the above statement.

None Higher

That the God of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Father of glory…set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. Ephesians 1:17-23

I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own Self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was…Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. John 17:4,5,24

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other Name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

Christ alone

Reaching out to and connecting with His faithful believers in "all Truth" worldwide “with the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters…Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”, we are together with Him for eternity, His holy people.

⚠️

History is replete with examples of what His denominated people will DO during the delay of a tarrying time, instead of having their characters perfected, being prepared, ready, watching and patiently waiting on Him to unfold events in His time.

He has warned us and it has all been seen before,

"There is no new thing under the sun" Ecclesiastes 1:9.

Remember -

They shall not be ashamed that wait for Me. Isaiah 49:23

For the love of Christ constraineth us...that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose again. 2 Corinthians 5:14,15 We are the Lord’s denominated people, to proclaim the truths of heavenly origin. The most solemn, sacred work ever given to mortals is the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel’s messages to our world. Lt 146, 1909 We are facing the most important issues that men have ever been called to meet. All should understand the truths contained in the three messages; for they are essential to salvation.
