At the beginning of Chapter 9 we saw God's attributes of Faithfulness and Righteousness coming through. In the second part of this chapter, we will consider His Justice and Grace. For it is only by the grace of God, seen in Jesus, that enables us to stand.

Jesus' message for everyone is to come and follow Him, whatever our cirmcumstances, because He knows everything about us. Jesus is the only answer in helping us through our life struggles - all we need to do is accept His invitation for Him to be a part of our lives.

As Jesus brings healing and wholeness to the people He ministered to, He does it through relationships. So too with us, we are Christ's ambassadors in this world, which means we connect with those around us as we bring the love of Jesus to them.

In these 10 verses of the Bible we see the story of God who is not just saving one baby or even a nation, but offering salvation to the whole world for those who will put their trust in Jesus.

As Jesus was in the wilderness being tempted by Satan, we can sometimes feel we are in a place of wilderness in our Christian life. We can always rely on God in any sitaution knowing that He is in control of all things and is always with us. When Jesus called the first disciples, they immediately followed Him. We need to follow Jesus in our daily life, without hesitation.
