Monday: Pantokrator
Daily Lesson for Monday 17th of February 2025
Throughout Scripture, God’s amazing power is made manifest. The Bible includes countless narratives of His exercising His power and working miracles. And yet, despite this, many things happen that God does not want to happen.
Read Revelation 11:17, Jeremiah 32:17-20, Luke 1:37, and Matthew 19:26. Consider also Hebrews 1:3. What do these passages teach about God’s power?

These texts and others teach that God is all-powerful and that He sustains the world by His power. Indeed, Revelation repeatedly refers to God as the “Lord God Almighty” (for example, Revelation 11:17; compare with 2 Corinthians 6:18, Revelation 1:8, Revelation 16:14, Revelation 19:15, Revelation 21:22) and the word translated “Almighty” (pantokrator) literally means “all-powerful.” The fact that God is all-powerful is not only affirmed in words but also manifest in the many amazing instances in which God uses His power to deliver His people or otherwise miraculously intervenes in the world.
However, to say God is “all-powerful” does not mean that God can do anything whatsoever. Scripture teaches that there are some things God cannot do; for example, 2 Timothy 2:13 declares, God “cannot deny Himself” (NKJV).
Accordingly, most Christians agree that God is all-powerful (omnipotent), meaning that God has the power to do anything that does not involve a contradiction—that is, anything that is logically possible and consistent with God’s nature. That some things are not possible for God because they would involve a contradiction is apparent in Christ’s prayer in Gethsemane. While Christ affirmed that “with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26), He also prayed to the Father as the crucifixion neared, “ ‘O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will’ ” (Matthew 26:39, NKJV).
Of course, the Father possessed the sheer power to deliver Christ from suffering on the cross, but He could not do this while also saving sinners. It had to be one or the other, not both.

Scripture also teaches that God wants to save everyone (for example, 1 Timothy 2:4-6, Titus 2:11, 2 Peter 3:9, Ezekiel 33:11), but not everyone will be saved. What does this fact teach about the reality of free will and the limits of God’s power with beings granted free will? |

The Life Giving Water A Beautiful Gospel Story
Jesus says, "I am the water of life," offering living water to all. Just a few months later, He hung on the cross and declared, "It is finished." When the spear was thrust into His side, blood and water flowed down, reaching the lowest sinner—everyone, including you and me—and bringing life. Through this, we can say that without experiencing the water ceremony, one doesn’t know true happiness. Want to learn more about the gospel and its life-changing power?
