Jesus Helps

Luke 10:41
"And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:"

When Martha invited Jesus into her home and her sister Mary did not help; she complained! With Mary's attention on Jesus, she would be surprised by her sister's complaint. Martha asked Jesus if He cares? Does GOD care? Of course He cares! He would not be incarnate and walking into her home if He did not care. Martha was swept up in the emotions of the moment. What she did was something she would not do to ANY OTHER guest in her home. Martha ORDERED Jesus to tell Mary to HELP her.

In today's verse begins Jesus's to answer her; "Martha, Martha, thou art CAREFUL and TROUBLED about many things:" Notice how Jesus repeated her name. In the Jewish culture this was and expression of a close relationship. There is a personal bond between these to where they can talk to each other. Jesus can feel her stress and He wants to HELP her.

God repeated the name of many of the faithful in Holy Scriptures. To read more about it, follow this link... https://the-end-time.org/2019/04/30/when-the-bible-repeats-a-name/

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...
