MARCH 25 The Jesus Questions

LIVING FOR JESUS --- Daily Devotional

March 25 / Day 26

365 Prayers to JESUS

Jesus, today Lord as we awake on this Good Friday let everyone that that knows why this Day is indeed “Good” share with those that do not understand why the Cross is Good News!! Nothing but the Blood bought such Eternal Victory over Sin, Death, and the Grave! There is no thought so dynamic as God-Very-God chose to be the Sacrificial Lamb for the Sins of the world, who willingly and in pure innocence, Suffered for our sins on the Cross at Calvary then in His Grave defeated Death and on the Third Day was Risen to Eternal Victory over sin and death. Praise God from whom ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!  

The Jesus Questions

JQ#6 - Jesus was the Master Teacher for only the Master can teach such Deep Truth just by getting His students to answer simple day-to-day questions. Jesus never taught just one lesson but with each lesson revealed Truth. Jesus was also revealing the Father and the Father’s Heart to us that we may come to know the Greatness of God’s Love. This next section I had originally made into two questions but after studying the section I am being led to see that both questions are in essence the same. These “Jesus Questions” should be studied for God’s Truth and to glimpse God’s Glory as we learn about the Magnificent Characteristics of Almighty God! The next section is found in Matthew 7:15-27 with the questions being Matthew 7:16,22. As I stated before, when I first started reading this section it seemed like several small sections thrown in at the end of Chapter 7 but then as I read and studied, it now seems like Jesus is actually bringing up these questions to get our attention and then He teaches one of His many parables using our curiosity generated by the simple questions. Matthew 7:21 has always caused me discomfort but after applying the parable to my personal uneasiness I have come to another of those places where Jesus shines His Light on my discomfort and illuminates another “Peace” as can only come through a study of Holy Scripture. So not only is Jesus teaching us Truths, He is also confirming where we are to obtain the seeds of Truth, where and how to plant them, and how to know He is blessing our lives which is the only True Peace we will find. Read through the sections in Matthew 7:15-27 and see if they are all teaching Divine Truth that only the Master Teacher can! This section starts with a warning: “Beware of false prophets…” (Matthew 7:15) then gives us a test to apply to false teachers: “Therefore by their fruits you will know them…” (Matthew 7:20) but then Jesus points out that only the Truth will stand “judgment” when He declares: “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you…” (Matthew 7:23) and then Jesus teaches us the parable of two builders which illustrates that we should choose wisely where we build our “house” and what we should use as the foundation of our spiritual life! See Matthew 7:24-27  for the parable but consider Matthew 7:15-23 as questions to get us thinking along certain terms that adds Godly Truth to the teaching of the parable of the two builders. I would also ask you to consider these as additional revelations from God on His “Law of Choice and Consequence” as there are several “choices” presented in this section and as always God is perfectly clear as to what He has dictated as the “consequence”. Tomorrow we will begin with “false prophets”.
