147 of 365 - Prayers to JESUS    

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus -- there is NO other Name that we can call on that produces such “LIFE” as that which You Provide for believers -- abundant and free for You have paid the price for the penalty of sin!! All sin, which was taken upon Yourself as You faced death and the grave all alone on that Cross at Calvary has been atoned for by Your Blood which was shed for all the sins of the world! Who can explain the mind of God that chose to correct the sin problem by such a Great Sacrifice of giving to a undeserving world the Precious Gift of His Innocent Only Begotten Son so that God’s Grace could be extended to all that “Repent” and turn from their sin. No, we cannot explain the mind of God but we can see and know for ourselves the Heart of God because His Plan for us and our “Good” has been executed and as Jesus said when He had accomplished the “Work” of the Father, “It is Finished!” Praise the Heart of God and the Great Sacrifice of His Son that all who believe “shall not perish”, so my prayer Lord Jesus is “lead us in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake and deliver us from evil” for Your’s is the Eternal Kingdom Forever!     AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

MAY 26  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#17-06  >>> Lessons, Lifestyle, and Parables of Jesus <<< JQ#17 “How many loaves do you have?”  (Matthew 15:34)   Jesus is the fulfillment of the words Abraham spoke to his son Isaac as both were being obedient to the Will of God and were climbing the mountain where God had commanded Abraham to offer Isaac as a “sacrifice”, when Isaac turned to his father Abraham and asked, “…but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” then Abraham who had been told by God, “…take now your son, your only son Isaac…and offer him…” turned to his only son Isaac who was carrying the fire and the wood for this momentous sacrifice of his son as the Father God had commanded and spoke these “Prophetic” words, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb…” (Genesis 22:8) God’s Plan of Salvation was revealed as Abraham in obedience to the will of the Father raised the knife to sacrifice his only son and an Angel of the Lord spoke and told Abraham not to harm Isaac because Abraham had been Faithful in being obedient to God and had in effect “offered” Isaac and proved that  he would be obedient to the Father’s Will and God had demonstrated that His Plan of Salvation included a “Substitute” ——- for God had intended from before creation to solve the sin problem of the world by providing Jesus as the “Lamb without blemish”, His Only Begotten Son (Genesis 22:1-14). We read the confirmation of God’s Plan to resolve the sin issue in the book of Revelation that at the end of time that the separation of the sinners from the repentant will be the fulfillment of Jesus teaching of the “separating the wheat from the tares”  as the repentant will have their names written in “the book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world…”. (Revelation 13:8) but those that have not accepted God’s Plan of Salvation ——— Jesus Christ ——— will burn eternally in the lake of fire! Yes God is very serious about “Life” and God does not want any to “perish” so God provided the “Lamb” whom was “Sacrificed” for the sins of the world. Jesus is teaching in JQ#17 “How many loaves do you have?” that the greatest problem in our lives is getting “bread”  for our very existence and Jesus boldly states that “leaven” represents sin and death and Jesus declares Himself as the answer to sin when He states: “I Am the Bread of Life” (John 6:35) It is important that we understand that God provides the “Bread and the Lamb” but we must be obedient to Him to “offer sacrifice” and to “beware” of the doctrine of sin that we allow into our lives (Repent) and consume the “bread” that gives “life”. Don’t you think it is reasonable to assume that since God wrote an entire book centered around His Only Begotten Son and His Death on a Cross as the Atonement of Sin, and that our Eternal Destiny rests on our “believing in Jesus”, and that God is truly serious about “sin”? The Bible front to back, every jot and tittle, is a picture of “Salvation — God’s Greatest Gift” — can you not reach out and accept His Gift? God not only will give you your “daily bread” — He is Gracious and Merciful and desires “abundant life” for you and He will also give you butter and jam for your “bread”!!!
