So Many Questions. Do We Seek God’s Word for the Answers?

When the picture is dim. Futures look foggy. The ways of man seem right in their own eyes. (Proverbs 14:12).

God’s Holy Word stands alone, unchanged. (Numbers 23:19). 

What do we do?

Do we open His pages?

Do we call on His name? (Romans 10:13).

Do we believe He’s faithful? (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Do we thank Him? Do we give Him praise? (Psalm 148: 13).

Do we have comprehension? (Ephesians 1:13-15).

Are we growing in grace and the knowledge of Him? (2 Peter 3:18).

Who is the Lord? And what is His name? (Exodus 15:3).

His name is Jesus. There is none greater. There is salvation in none other. (Acts 4:12). 

He was, and is, and will always be. (Isaiah 43: 13-25).

There will be a day when all will eyes see. (Philippians 2).

He alone is in control. He is before all things. (Colossians 1:17).

He’s coming again. (Matthew 24:44). 

All eyes will behold, every knee will bow. (Romans 14:11).

God hates lies. God hates evil. (Proverbs 6:16-19, Amos 5:15).  

The enemy of God is the father of lies. (John 8:44).

Satan comes to deceive and  accuse. (Luke 22:31).

Satan seeks to destroy . . . me and you. (John 10:10).

As Moses in the wilderness with a multitude of faithless complainers, against God and His ways. Serpents were sent among all the people. 

The serpents bit. People were afraid.(Numbers 21:4-8).

What happened next?

God instructed Moses. Make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole. Lift it in the camp. All who look on the bronze serpent will be healed.

What will we choose? Do we look up? Do we look away?

Do we bow today?

Or do we wait for some other day?

 His Word is Love. (1Corinthians 13).

What do we believe?

This is a life or death question. What answer does the Bible give:

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 

 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 

Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. (John 3:14-21).

What is sweeter than the grace of God? 

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,  who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory! Ephesians 1:13-15, emphasis mine.

If you want to receive Jesus in your life. Simply bow your head and heart and ask His forgiveness for sin. He washes all the past shame and sin away. Then ask Him to fill you with His love. He will flood your heart with His sweet love. Accept His love and forgiveness and ask Him for the Holy Spirit to help you to grow in His grace and knowledge. He is faithful. he will surely do it!

Then tell someone. Tell the whole world that you are a new creation in Christ. And find other believers to grow with in a Bible teaching church.

Rejoice in Him. Worship Him. He alone is able to accomplish all that concerns all who seek Him, today.

In Jesus name, Amen.

Dear World, Let Passion Week speak:

What’s on my mind during Passion week:
“Dear world, STOP. Look. Listen and hear the Father God, Creator of all natural beauty we see and enjoy,
the One Who is holy and just, truth, and all righteousness,
the One Who knows everyone by name.
The One Whose nature is unconditional Love.
STOP and look at the cross. Not the one around your neck, but the one that Jesus’ died.
Listen to Almighty God’s Voice:
‘My children, turn at once from running toward the lying thief that I sent my Son Jesus to rescue you from. Turn from believing lies that you can do it all on your own without Me.
I sent My Son. He is the the promised One.
His blood was shed, to cover each and all of your shame.
Admit your sins. Believe on Him. And Celebrate a new-born life, abundant and free.
And go and tell others. Be a witness for Me.'”
Oh, that the world would listen to the Father at this time.
This is what’s on my mind.
 Jesus found me when I was lost.
He gave His life . . . for my sin.
He offers hope and His Spirit that we might each day walk in the power of His resurrection. He didn’t hold back, so neither will I.
Take time to ask yourself this question, “What is my direction?”
Stop. Look. Listen, these are words Jesus prayed. Will you turn and trust in Him today?
 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 
 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.
Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them,” John 17:20-25.
It’s hard to stop. It’s a challenge to look. But God’s glory is revealed and our broken hearts are healed when we finally listen. He is the very definition of commitment!
It’s time to run with Jesus, and never again be deceived by the thief. This Passion Week, will you choose to believe? If so, make sure you let someone know.
May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity—Jesus
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him,” John 3:17.
Choose Jesus?  His passion is outstanding. In heaven is great celebration.
