save the world

John 3:17&18
"17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

The King Will Come! Jesus is returning as the ultimate hero! As read in the Psalms yesterday Jesus will reign and all the world will CELEBRATE! "The heavens rejoice!" "The earth be glad!" "The sea roar!" "The field be joyful!" "The trees of the wood rejoice!!!" This is a WIN so incredible that it's celebrations are led by inanimate nature!  All creation will be joining in the anthem of PRAISE!!!

Last week we focused on verses from the Gospel of Matthew when Jesus described how two working in the field and, the two women grinding at the mill, from each pair; one was be TAKEN and one was left. We understand this to be Christ's judgment; the separation of the sheep from the goats, the believers from the unbelievers. On the day of Christ's return we will face judgment OR mercy. We need to be prepared to meet Him. We need to watch for Him. We need to be READY.

We all KNOW the VERY famous verse from the Gospel of John, chapter three, verse sixteen. We need to also remember the next two verses; "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." Jesus came to save the WORLD! And, it's incredibly simple... "He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." FAITH in our Lord and Savior is what saves you. And, that FAITH is given to you by the Holy Ghost!!! GOD does it ALL!!! The only thing we contribute is our filthy sin. Thank GOD for Jesus Christ and the atonement on the cross!!
Hallelujah!!!

to be taller

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...

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...

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...
