See Jesus

John 12:44-46
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him that sent Me.
45 And he that seeth Me seeth Him that sent Me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness.

We have studied the Greek woman who had FAITH in our Lord and Savior to see her daughter HEALED!!! She FELL at HIS FEET and begged Jesus to cast out the demon that has possessed her daughter. Jesus said "Not yet." This mother would not take "No." for an answer. She has FAITH in Jesus! This is an embarrassment to all the proud Pharisees and disbelieving Jews! Her FAITH was rewarded! This nameless Gentile woman expressed GREAT ingenuity and FAITH! We can strive to live her example and persistently live out our FAITH. Don't let anyone hold us back from our mission. Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah came for everyone and not just the Jews. Here we read the actions of Jesus demonstrate this beautifully.

Today we turn to the Gospel of John, chapter twelve to hear Jesus speak about this important point! "Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on Me, believeth NOT on Me, but on HIM that SENT Me." IT'S GOD the Father who sent our Lord and Savior! If we can study the Word of God and better understand Jesus; we can better understand GOD ALMIGHTY!!!

LOOKING upon Jesus was like looking upon GOD the Father!!! "And he that seeth Me seeth Him that sent Me. I Am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should NOT abide in DARKNESS." JESUS calls us to come into His light and His goodness. We do not need to hide in the darkness. We do not need to do bad things to get ahead. We can do what is right and good in the sight of GOD and we will be called His children. We will be His Cosen people! You and me; Chosen by GOD! 
It's really mind-boggling!!!

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...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
