a cry that SAVES

Psalms 22:1
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?"

In our studies last week we focused on the teaching from the Apostle Paul that emphasized the GREATNESS of GOD in providing His only Son as the sacrificial atonement of our sins! Out of gratitude we want to do GOD'S will for us. "the FRUIT of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is NO LAW." Paul gives us a  positive list of things we CAN DO. This is how God would like us to live our lives. And, we CAN DO it with the help of the Holy Ghost!

This week we enter into the Advent season. Advent seems early this year. It is the time of year we celebrate Jesus becoming incarnate. We want to note how amazing it is He did not come with a army, to concurred the world. Instead He came as a baby who cried. Giving us the theme and title for this week's study; A Babe Who Cries.

As we segue to the Babe in the manger from Falling In Line with God's laws we are briefly visiting Psalm twenty-two, verse one; "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?" These are the very words our Lord and Savior cried out on the cross. Words said in PAIN and great ANGUISH. A far cry from the helpless infant away in the manger. Yet, it's the same person who CRIED.
AND, it's a cry that SAVES All others!
The reason for The Season!!
Praise the Lord!!!

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...
