Christian - forgiven - grateful

Welcome! My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I am a senior citizen who has found great peace in his old age in the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers to sinners. I enjoy reading my Bible and recording short Devotional podcasts with the aim to encourage us all to have faith in God and follow His Son Jesus Christ every day.
I hope the following blog posts will be an encouragement to you:

Jesus has authority over everything

Matthew 28:18 (NLT) Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

John 3:35  The Father loves his Son and has put everything into his hands.

John 13:3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him authority over everything and that he had come from God and would return to God.

John 17:2 For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.

Ephesians 1:20-22 That raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. [21] Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else-not only in this world but also in the world to come. [22] God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.
