196 of 365 - Prayers to JESUS    

Jesus, Giver of Life, Hallowed be Thy Name, the Name above all names. O Lord my God, Praise, Glory and Honor to the Only Begotten Son that became sin for my sake that through His Sacrifice I might be clothed in His Righteousness that I might have fellowship with the Father. Lord Jesus, there is no explanation why You would choose to give up Your Divinity for sinners but Lord we Praise You because we know in our heart of hearts that were we left to our sin that we would remain forever lost in that sin and while we were yet lost in that sin that You accepted the Task as the Good Shepherd and now we praise You as did King David, You “make [us] to lie down in green pastures, You lead [us] beside the still waters, You restore [our] soul and lead [us] in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake!”      AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

JULY 14  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#21-18  >>> Lessons, Lifestyle, and Parables of Jesus <<< JQ#21  “What do you think about fish, taxes, lost sheep, forgiveness, and your fellow servants?” (Matthew 17:25, 18:12,33)    Jesus spent His every breath of His earthly ministry living His Life as an Example of how we should live our lives for God so that when we read His Story in God’s Holy Word we should appreciate all the heavenly forces God employs to provide for our daily needs and we should pay attention to each Lesson God has to Teach us about His Kingdom and the Singular Path God has determined that we must take to ENTER into His Glory! There is no argument that can be made as to “why” there is only ONE WAY — God has plainly demonstrated that even before He Created the Heavens and the earth, He had settled on His Plan of Salvation and over thousands of years God revealed that Plan to the world that God has committed all His Divine Resources to saving. God has been Faithful to that Plan and the Plan has been executed without flaw as our Salvation has been Sealed and Sanctified by the Life, Death, Burial, and Resurrection of His Only Begotten Son Jesus the Christ. The first Scriptures were written with the Hope of the Messiah and the Law was written in anticipation of the fulfillment of the Law by the Coming of God’s Holy One and now the Scriptures record: “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17) So when the Messiah Himself spends such a great proportion of His Words Teaching us about the sin “problem” we should search the scriptures for the “solution” and have Faith that God who has always provided for our daily needs will Teach us the True Path to Salvation which leads to entering through the “Kingdom Door” which Jesus Himself declared “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” (John 10:9) Jesus then continues to clarify God’s Truth as Jesus tells us “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” (John 10:10-11) Then to make sure that we understand God’s Plan of Salvation Jesus states: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) There is no way that anyone can read the Holy Scriptures and not see God’s Plan of Salvation and the extent to which God had committed to BEFORE the beginning of time as we read that central verse “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Notice John 3:16 is written in the past tense, it has already been accomplished and has been written in God’s History Book, the Holy Bible, for thousands of years and as Jesus Himself said as He was breathing His last earthly breath Jesus cried: “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Generations upon generations have proved that He Lives as we have a great cloud of witnesses that have been touched by the Savior’s Grace and their lives have been forever changed. What God said He would do, He always does! The only question we can ask ourselves is “Why in the world do we question a God that has unselfishly given so much of Himself for our good?” Could it be because we are so selfish that we are blinded to His Holiness?
