Our Creator & Our Savior

John 1:3&4
"3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men."

Yesterday we read the first verses of the book of Hebrews. In it the priestly ministry of Christ in the life of the believer is emphasized. Through Jesus people can approach the Father in heaven. The priesthood of Jesus is superior to the Old Testament priesthood of Aaron, because only through Jesus do we receive eternal salvation. AND! 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! 

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! Today's verses, from the first verses of the Gospel of John; "All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was LIFE; and the LIFE was the light of men."

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!

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...
