The Right Person for the Job

Are you familiar with the saying, “I’m your huckleberry”? Several summers ago, my husband and I visited Glacier National Park. Right outside the park, we stopped at a restaurant that had everything huckleberry: huckleberry pie, huckleberry pancakes, huckleberry coffee. And for those of you who know Keith, you won’t be surprised that he wanted to buy me a T-shirt that says, “I’m your huckleberry.”

I wasn’t quite sure what it meant to be someone’s huckleberry so I did a little research. To be one’s huckleberry is “to be just the right person for a given job or a willing executor of some commission.”

What does any of this have to do with Jesus?

There was only one person who could fulfill the righteous requirement of the law. Only one person could pay our sin debt. Only Jesus, “in whom all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.” Colossians 2:9

Jesus, in whom all the fullness of Deity dwelled in bodily form was “just the right person for the job” of saving us. Jesus is “just the right person” to empower us live the Christian life. Are we rejoicing before Jesus? Are we daily thanking Him? Are we walking by His Spirit?

Lord Jesus, One in whom all the fullness of DEITY dwells, God’s perfect provision and “just the right person for the job” of saving and sanctifying us, we love and praise You.
