When my husband’s father passed away, all of his businesses were dropped into his lap. However, he knew that line of work because he had been immersed in it for his entire life, though he wasn’t a part of it when he died. He had to jump in and handle all the situations that his dad was involved in, including a few lawsuits, which was daunting for him. Thankfully, he is good at juggling and focusing and still able to manage our businesses at the same time. He says it was the worst four years of his life, but he handled them quite well. There were a few business partners of his dad’s that my husband knew had rejected, belittled, or taken advantage of him, and they came out of nowhere to try and do business with my husband, now that his dad was gone. Because he and his dad were close, the stories of their betrayal were shared, so he knew who were good business partners and who were the crooks. When they rejected his dad, they ultimately rejected my husband, the son.
Imagine the same situation only bigger, on a worldwide scale: God the Father and God the Son. Those people who rejected God and didn’t turn their lives over to Him, the Son, Jesus came and called them out, and they ultimately rejected him too, but not without the consequences. We sometimes forget that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one. You can’t call on just one of them and reject the others; when you do that, you reject them all, similar to the situation with my husband and his dad. It will come back to bite you. We must acknowledge that they are three in one, and you can’t do business with one without doing business with the others.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7
