TURN TO JESUS

Mark 2:17
"When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

We have been studying in First Kings chapter three. Where we learn about King Solomon's LEGENDARY wisdom! When we find ourselves in the position of King Solomon, able to do something to STOP the pain and grief may we have the WISDOM to stop it. When we find ourselves in the position of this REAL mother may we have the courage to sacrifice our rights that our loved ones may LIVE. We need to do everything we can to minimize the pain and grief in our world.

BUT, we are only human. Inheritantly we have our own "sickness." We might not always be WISE and COURAGEOUS. At which time we will feel "sick" with ourselves. Fortunately we have The Great Physician; pointed to in today's verse, "When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have NO NEED of the physician, but they that are SICK: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." 

Even if we find ourselves in the position of the OTHER mother; we messed up and we are so racked with pain, grief and jealousy that we are hurting everyone around us... Jesus came for YOU. Take your troubles to Him. Lay your problems at the foot of the CROSS. Jesus felt your pain and He received your punishment. He will heal your wounds. Believe in Jesus and TURN TO HIM and His ways.

The foot of the CROSS can be right where you at now. GOD does come to you. At some point you will WANT to and NEDD to WORSHIP HIM. The best place to do that is in CHURCH. You can find Holy Bible preaching and teaching churches everywhere. When you are in the Fredericksburg Texas area; please join us at one of the oldest Lutheran Churches in the region! It is beautiful! An old stone building with vibrant stained glass everywhere you look. And, ornately carved wood altar and flying pulpit! It is an amazing sight to behold. And, the people are VERY friendly and welcoming. The Pastor's are outstanding and outgoing. We look forward to seeing you in worship.

Mark 6:32&33 "32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew Him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto Him." This summer we read through the Gospel of Mark two times! I praise you for studying God’s word, this world needs more Holy Bible studying Christians. Before we move on from the Gospel of Mark, we are going to review what my Pastor considers the most important point in the book, (other than the events in and arond crucifixion and resurrection) the feeding of the five thousand. All four Gospels describe Jesus multiplying five loaves and two fish to feed a crowd of about 5,000 men (plus women and children in Matthew), with twelve baskets of leftovers gathered afterward. Yesterday’s verses were leading up to this momentous occasion.  The apostles returned from their first missionary journey, they reported to Jesus all they had done and taught. Jesus invited the...

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

Jeroboam

2 Kings 14:25 "He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of His servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher." We’re continuing our series on God’s calling of His people. Last week we saw how God transformed the Apostle Paul—from zealous enemy to greatest champion. A clear theme is emerging: those God calls often start with reluctance. This week we meet one of the most famous reluctant prophets, Jonah. Jonah’s first recorded prophecy appears in 2 Kings 14:25. He foretold that King Jeroboam II would restore Israel’s borders from Hamath to the Dead Sea. This prophecy came true, bringing a season of prosperity to the northern kingdom. This historical note is important. It confirms Jonah was a real prophet whose words carried divine authority. By naming him “Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher,” Scripture anchors the he...
