New CREATURE

2 Corenthians 5:17
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Jesus's YOKE is your FAITH in Him. Put it on. We are not attaching ourselves to Jesus. He doesn't become our personal assistant. He is our Savior and He is the creator of the universe! Jesus became the permanent and perfect High Priest, going beyond all other priests by offering Himself as a sinless sacrifice on behalf of ALL people!!! Jew and Gentiles!! As it was prophesied since the beginning of time!

Jesus is better than the Pharisees with their 613 laws for everyone to follow. All of us that are sorrowful and burdened with more than we can handle need to look to Jesus for help. Our Lord and Savior has infinite sympathy for people of all classes and conditions. He is True God and still of the people, He will listen to your sorrows and tribulations. He wants to help you. You need only open your heart and mind to His preaching and teaching. Have FAITH in Jesus!

Today's verse; "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW."  Past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior. But! That doesn't have to be!! We can become a "NEW CREATURE!" Christ can and will revolutionize your LIFE and FAITH! After conversion you can love all that you hated, and hate all that you loved. All that you once treasured becomes trash. The things that you did not care about become the most important things to you, now and for all eternity! Put on Jesus's YOKE.

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!
