His Holy Covenant

Luke 1:70-72
"70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His Holy Covenant;"

Back in Genesis God asked Adam and Eve; "WHERE ARE YOU?" They had eaten the forbidden fruit and thought they could HIDE from GOD. A lot of people today are hiding from God. The only way out of this predicament is to trust and believe GOD! Learn about the covenant GOD made with people. Learn how and why Jesus is our Redeemer. Jesus came to restore us. God calls to YOU; "WHERE ARE YOU?" 

Today we return to the Gospel of Luke, Zacharias, the father of John the Baptizer, lost his voice when he disbelieved. His lips were opened when he believed. Following in the steps of the Psalmist, Zacharias uses "horn of salvation" as a description of the COMING CHRIST, who is to be raised up in the House of David. Sharing the message that this will be the “Anointed” one, our Lord and Savior!!!

Today's verses, Zacharias continues his prophetic speech; "As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be SAVED from our ENEMIES, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His Holy COVENANT;" Our sin is not something we can fix ourselves; we need a SAVIOR. God made a covenant with people and it is fulfilled in Jesus.

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!
