The Word–Jesus???  A Word from THE WORD!!! #305

I want to share John’s account of Jesus—not His birth, in particular, but His self-existent nature as God Almighty, The Son!  Jesus Christ The Lord!  John didn’t start at the manger, or the angels appearing to Zacharias or Mary, he went back to Genesis!  He wanted us to know that Jesus IS God and ever will be.  People say that Jesus never claimed to be God, but I beg to differ!

“My sheep hear my voice,

and I know them,

and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life;

and they shall never perish,

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me,

is greater than all;

and no man is able to pluck them

out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.”  John 10:27-30

When we belong to Jesus by being born again, we belong to God The Father, and The Son, and the Holy Spirit (also God) is given to us—to conform us to the image of The Son!  May we take this time of celebrating His incarnation and bow before Him in joyful gratitude for His gift – the gift of Himself, dying as our substitutionary, atoning sacrifice for all who will come to Him in repentance of our sin, and trust in the blood He shed for me.  It’s your choice but choose wisely there is a test.  Let’s see John’s description of the arrival of God in flesh!

“In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him;

and without him was not any thing made

that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness;

and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God,

whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness,

to bear witness of the Light,

that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light,

but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light,

which lighteth every man

that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world,

and the world was made by him,

and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own,

 and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him,

to them gave he power to become the sons of God,

even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born,

not of blood,

nor of the will of the flesh,

nor of the will of man,

but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh,

and dwelt among us,

(and we beheld his glory,

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)

full of grace and truth.”  John 1:1-14

This WORD came to save—He lived truth, He spoke truth, in truth He died for sin, and He rules and reigns today, and HE is coming again.  I pray that your celebration includes The Savior’s birth and His return.

Amen and Amen!!!

A Christmas Fortnight???  A Word from THE WORD!!! #302

Continuing the reposts for Christmas due to my injured finger—which is much better, just a bit cumbersome to type with.

Bible Ballistics: BBs #123 Mighty God!!!

“For unto us

a child is born,

unto us

a son is given:

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor,

The mighty God,

The everlasting Father,

The Prince of Peace.” Is. 9:6

God come in flesh for me and you—for my sin and yours.

Hebrews 2:14-18,

“Forasmuch then as the children

are partakers of flesh and blood,

he also himself likewise

took part of the same;

that through death he might destroy him

that had the power of death,

that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them

who through fear of death

were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels;

but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him

to be made like unto his brethren,

that he might be a merciful and faithful

high priest in things pertaining to God,

to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18 For in that he himself

hath suffered being tempted,

he is able to succour them

that are tempted.”

Jesus took on a human body that he could pay the price for our sin!!  My sin and yours.  May we never forget that without the incarnation, we could not have life? Eternal life!  Abundant life.  Through Jesus’ sacrifice—His death for us—we can have the peace of God in our hearts by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Romans 5:1-6,

“Therefore being justified by faith,

we have peace with God

through our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By whom also we have access by faith

into this grace

wherein we stand,

and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

 3 And not only so,

but we glory in tribulations also:

knowing that tribulation

worketh patience;

4 And patience,

experience;

and experience,

hope:

5 And hope maketh not ashamed;

because the love of God

is shed abroad in our hearts

by the Holy Ghost

which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength,

in due time

Christ died for the ungodly.”

This “mighty God” came and took on flesh, died for us, and gives us “peace with God”.  How? Why?  “because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

Praise the name of Jesus!!

He came.

He stayed.

He died.

He rose again

That we could have that peace with God that passes understanding.  May you daily focus on the Lord who came for you?  And not only did he come; he’s coming back again, and I believe soon.  Do you know Him?  Are you walking with Him?  Do you have peace with God?  Only Jesus can give that.   Call on him today—He will answer your call!!

Romans 10:13,

“For whosoever shall call

upon the name of the Lord

shall be saved.”   Jesus

Acts 4:12,

“Neither is there salvation in any other:

for there is none other name under heaven

given among men,

whereby we must be saved.”  Jesus

That baby whose birth we celebrate is our hope, our redemption- for all who will receive His gift of salvation; for you see, JESUS IS the gift!

Amen and Amen!!!

A Christmas Fortnight???  A Word from THE WORD!!! #301

Continuing the reposts for Christmas due to my injured finger.

Bible Ballistics: BBs #122 A Christmas Fortnight-Wonderful Counselor?

“For unto us

 a child is born,

unto us

a son is given:

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor,

The mighty God,

The everlasting Father,

The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace

there shall be no end,

upon the throne of David,

and upon his kingdom,

to order it,

and to establish it

with judgment

and with justice

from henceforth even for ever.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts

will perform this.” Is. 9:6-7

Unto us the promise was and is given!  A child would be given! And “The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this”!!  This child would come because God would send HIM, and He would be the ‘wonderful counselor’!!!

Wonderful: inspiring delight, pleasure or admiration; extremely good, marvelous.

Counselor: one who gives guidance, one trained to give guidance.

Jesus would be, is and ever shall be the most wonderful of counselors.  And what would He counsel us about?  Let’s see.

Revelation 3:17-18:

“Because thou sayest,

I am rich,

and increased with goods,

and have need of nothing;

and knowest not that

thou art wretched,

and miserable,

 and poor,

and blind,

and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me

gold tried in the fire,

that thou mayest be rich;

and white raiment,

that thou mayest be clothed,

and that the shame of thy nakedness

do not appear;

 and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve,

that thou mayest see.”

Jesus’ advice in a nutshell: Let Him speak to your heart, reveal your sin and then receive HIM as the only cure for your sin problem.  No matter how much we ‘SAY’ that we are sufficient unto ourselves, Jesus reveals the truth of our heart.  But praise God; He doesn’t just leave us there.  He offers to supply (gold), clothes (white garments), and open our eyes to see!!!  To see Him—God, our Redeemer, Jesus!!!

Isaiah 55:1-2,

“Ho, every one that thirsteth,

come ye to the waters,

and he that hath no money;

come ye, buy, and eat;

yea, come,

buy wine and milk without money

and without price.

2 Wherefore do ye spend money

for that which is not bread?

and your labour

for that which satisfieth not?

hearken diligently unto me,

and eat ye that which is good,

and let your soul delight itself in fatness.”

Jesus is our delight, HE who gave HIMSELF for us!!!

John 10:14-15,

“I am the good shepherd,

and know my sheep,

and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me,

even so know I the Father:

and I lay down my life for the sheep.”

He willingly laid down HIS life for us to have LIFE!!!

Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other:

for there is none other name under heaven

given among men,

whereby we must be saved.”

This ‘Wonderful Counselor” can be our salvation because He Redeemed us with HIS OWN BLOOD.  Jesus laid down HIS life that He could take it back again after 3 days and be victorious over sin, death and hell for all who would believe in HIM.

Revelation 5:9-10,

“And they sung a new song, saying,

Thou art worthy to take the book,

and to open the seals thereof:

for thou wast slain,

and hast redeemed us to God

by thy blood

out of every kindred,

and tongue,

and people,

and nation;

10 And hast made us unto our God

kings and priests:

and we shall reign on the earth.”

Jesus, the babe, came to die for YOU and ME!!!  If you know Him–praise Him, thank Him and live for Him that the world may know!!  If you don’t know Him—you can today.  Listen to His voice speaking to your heart, repent of your sin and trust in Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection to be sufficient to save you, because:

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:

 if any man hear my voice,

and open the door,

I will come in to him,

and will sup with him,

and he with me.” Rev. 3:20

Won’t you open the door today??

Amen and Amen!!!
