\"1nsq31xaob2i5zb5bahkbifnue1n8lm6nwmoeifgersrkclx.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=auto\"\u201c...we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ\u2026\u201d Romans 8:16-17<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>

I just love this verse. To this day, it still keeps blowing me away.<\/span><\/p>

Most of us know the story of the little red hen. Intended to encourage personal initiative, the hen works through stages of making bread. She asks for help at each stage but the other animals refuse so, when the fruit of her labour is complete, the hen enjoys the bread herself and doesn\u2019t share it.<\/span><\/p>

Many of you are thinking, \u201cWell, fair is fair,\u201d and you make choices for your own life with similar principles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yet, Jesus Himself said in Matthew 10:8, <\/span>\u201c...freely you have received, freely give.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>

The example we are given to follow is overwhelming.<\/span><\/p>

Jesus became a man, God in the flesh. This in itself would have been hard enough! Yet, he was subject to testing of every kind His whole life, even unto the cross. Here, He not only took the beatings but bore the shame of every sin that had ever been and would be.<\/span><\/p>

If fair is fair, then why does it say in Romans 8 that we are \u201cjoint-heirs\u201d with Christ?<\/span><\/p>

Surely, I, who\u2019s sins effectively put Jesus on the cross, should spend the rest of my miserable life prostrate in worship because of this sacrifice!<\/span><\/p>

Nope. The love of the Father is beyond comprehension. He pulls us to our feet, embraces us and distributes the same inheritance to all who would accept Jesus as their Saviour<\/span><\/p>

As I write this, I am overcome afresh with a new understanding of God\u2019s grace. Hallelujah, Lord!<\/span><\/p>

Jesus is no red hen. That which he laboured for is free and available to all. As we like to say here, it is Revival for everyone, everywhere!<\/span><\/p>

Have you received your inheritance? Your portion is waiting and I promise you, it is <\/span>\u201c...exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/em> Ephesians 3:20<\/span><\/p>
