GOD'S WORD

Matthew 24:37&38
"37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,"

We have entered the Season of Advent. This is the New Year in the Church calendar! In this season we want to celebrate the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Of course Jesus always was/is and then He became incarnate and was sacrificed for all OUR sins. And, someday He will RETURN. 

When will He return? We GOT to KNOW!
NO ONE knows. Only GOD the Father Knows, is Jesus's answer from the Gospel of Matthew. And, in today's verses, Jesus explains more; "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." The King James Version uses the Septuagint's spelling of Noah's name; "Noe." Jesus is saying His return will be similar to the Great Flood, it was sudden and unexpected. People were not prepared for it even though they were warned about it. The only ones saved were the few in the ark.

Generally people were going about their lives. Focusing on their day to day concerns and NOT paying attention to GOD'S word. Jesus continues; "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark," The activities Jesus mentions are NOT bad. We know from the Genesis account, that Jesus is referring to, the people were NOT concerned about the affairs of religion, the worship and glory of God, the welfare of their souls and their approaching doom! Which Noah had given them ampel warning. Does this sound like another time and place being warned of GOD'S judgment and NOT listening to GOD'S word???

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...
