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!!!

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
