365 Prayers to JESUS 

 Jesus, You Lord are to be greatly praised for Your Love and the fact that in Your example of “Loving” us when we were truly “unlovable”. Because You first loved us  even though there was nothing in us to Love, we know that Your Love comes with NO CONDITIONS and that You LOVE because that is Your Choice!!! We cannot know or explain “Why” You chose to Love, but our limited understanding does not diminish in any way the FACT that You Love us. Lord we pray that because You Loved us when we were unlovable that we in turn will Love Others Unconditionally because that is a “Choice” we make to Honor Your “Choice” to Love us!       AMEN

The Jesus Questions

JUNE 29   JQ#18-3    “But who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15)  This lesson that Jesus is teaching by asking us to take “Spiritual Inventory” of what we “believe” about Him is multifaceted in that we must then examine our answer for the “Truth of God” because the other side of our answer will lead us to examine how our “belief” in God lines up with the “Truth of God”. God has already revealed Himself to us through HIs Word, the Holy Bible which is the entire story of Jesus from His Hand in Creation, to the story of Jesus, the Only Begotten Son being provided by the Father as the Lamb of God, and it takes us to the end of time itself when Jesus return to gather His Bride and then the Father in heaven throws a Great Wedding Feast and we enter into eternity with our Redeemer. This Most Important Question and then our examination of our belief about God must be viewed through the “eyes of God Himself” for God is Truth. When we “understand” that Jesus was sent by God, and that Jesus is God’s Very Son, and that Jesus has “pleased the Father” by being obedient to the Father’s will even unto a cruel death, then we will be able to start aligning what we believe with Truth and that is when we can learn the Lesson Jesus is going to Teach, and Teach, and Teach when He asks us personally to look deep into our soul and then look Him in the eye and tell Jesus “who” we believe Him to be and then when we look at our belief as compared to the Truth of God we realize that Truth is UNCHANGING and that our belief has no impact on the Truth of Who Jesus IS !!!! So the lesson Jesus is really getting at is do we know the “Truth of God” as God has revealed and will reveal to each individual and the impact of our “belief” on our eternity is based solely on how well what we believe actually “lines up” with the actual “Truth of God” and the best place to learn that Truth is from the Word of God which can be found in HIs Bible, His Son, and His Holy Spirit who is sent to “Teach” us the Truth of God. Belief is important but has no impact on the Truth so we must learn that God is the Unchanging Truth on which our eternity is based and therefore the real question is “What do I know of what God says about who Jesus is and why did Jesus have to be obedient to the Father’s Will??”
