JANUARY 01 THE JESUS QUESTIONS Introduction-01:
Lessons, Lifestyle, and Parables of Jesus: JQ#1-JQ#33
(Matthew 1:1 thru 28:20)
The Gospel of Matthew: A 365 Day Study of the Life,
Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ
LIVING FOR JESUS Daily Prayer
JESUS, we begin this new year with HOPE, not because of anything
we have done but because of WHAT (we believe) GOD HAS DONE!
Lord Jesus, I have year after year made resolutions and tried to make
changes in my lifestyle, but on my own I have to admit that very little
positive progress was ever made — until — until I learned of the HOPE
that is given as a Free Gift called Grace included in a single verse of
scripture that is so familiar that the verse is considered cliche — but to those
who read the verse and know why the verse was inspired and the
original intent, the verse itself can be read a thousand times a day
and with each reading NEW HOPE springs forth eternal
from GOD’S HOLY WORD:
“For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life.”
(John 3:16)
Therefore looking expectantly towards a year that HOPE will reign
sovereign in my day-to-day life, I start this day, January 1, 2026 with this
prayer to my Lord Jesus and TRUST GOD’S PROMISE that JESUS will
“never leave nor forsake” me and I will look forward with HOPE to JESUS
leading this “writer” in “paths of righteousness”!!!
AMEN
JANUARY 01 THE JESUS QUESTIONS
This blog is a “Daily Devotional” — for this “writer” — and you are
invited to make it part of YOUR DAILY TIME WITH GOD as I encourage
you to spend EACH DAY of this NEW YEAR 2026 in the
WORD OF GOD
and
LET GOD SPEAK DIRECTLY TO YOU
THROUGH HIS WORD.
The Holy Bible contains all the TRUTH each unique individual
needs to live an abundant life and this blog is simply a window into
my soul which has found Peace with God from the WORD OF GOD!
The secular cliche then is to desire “World Peace” yet deny the TRUTH that can
achieve “Inner Peace”. The writer of this blog was given an “Inspiration”
on February 29th of 2016 and that “Inspiration” is the basis of this
daily blog: The Holy Spirit presented the challenge to this “writer” in this way:
“Read through the complete Gospel of Jesus Christ written
by St. Matthew (the first book in the New Testament) starting with
Matthew 1:1 and every time you come to a ‘Question’ that Jesus
asks, your challenge is to give Jesus a ‘Truthful answer’.”
Think about that challenge and your “mission”
<<< should you choose to accept it >>>
is to read the Gospel according to Matthew and
“give Jesus a TRUTHFUL answer”—
we are all different and each of us has a unique perspective. This blog
therefore is simply this “writer” sharing a personal “perspective” of what the
WORD OF GOD
has done for my life once I started my
“Spiritual Journey to Truth”.
TRUTH can only be found where TRUTH exists,
not where we want it to exist
As you read this blog remember that the TRUTH OF GOD will change
you from the inside out and that you will see that person in the mirror
in a different “LIGHT” — remember also that TRUTH is FREE
so what have you got to lose???
The Holy Spirit left me with these words of wisdom:
“No one but GOD owns the TRUTH
and He gives it FREELY to all who search for it,
so if someone tries to charge you for TRUTH,
don’t buy it —
Remember, it is a LIE if it comes with a cost!”
SEE YOU TOMORROW, THE HOLY SPIRIT PROMISES
TO LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR YOU
