the ultimate Epiphany

Hebrews 1:1&2
"1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;"

Moses was recruited and put into service by "The Angel of The LORD" in Exodus, chapter three, we studied this week. "I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest BRING forth MY people the children of Israel OUT of EGYPT." This was the pre-incarnate Jesus giving out the marching orders. Moses served GOD well, leads the Israelites through some of their most challenging times. Moses is very famous for parting the Red Sea and receiving the Ten Commandments. (Both actions of GOD.) Moses is nonetheless important and pivotal. So much so, that he is present at Jesus's Transfiguration! 

So, don't miss the forest because of all the trees. God the Father sees our suffering and sends His Son to deliver us from our bondage. The Son recruited Moses and was there every step of the way. AND! These events that make up the part of history that Moses lived are foreshadowing of the life and work of Jesus Christ saving everyone from sin, death and the clutches of the Devil! Remember the sacrifice He made for you. Not only the burning bush but the BLOOD STAINED CROSS. God's only Son died for you. The Ultimate Epiphany is His death and resurrection! The event that changes everything!

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...
