318 of 365 - Prayers to JESUS
Jesus, Lord and Savior, my Redeemer, You are the Prince of Peace, and it is Your Sacrifice that I owe my Eternal Life to — for it was the Shedding of Your Blood, the Blood of the Only Begotten of the Father God in Heaven that Bought my Salvation and was the Propitiation of all my iniquities — and because of those things that my Gracious and Merciful God Gave to undeserving sinners such as me that I can now look forward with Hope to my future and no longer fear death — for God Almighty through the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God has freed us from the condemnation of sin and we can enter into His Kingdom and the Joy of the LORD! AMEN
THE JESUS QUESTIONS
NOVEMBER 13 THE JESUS QUESTIONS JQ#31-29 >>> Lessons, Lifestyle, and Parables of Jesus <<< JQ#31 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?” (Matthew 24:45) Jesus uses the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) to remind us that regardless of our situation in life that God has bestowed on our individual lives everything that we need to live an abundant life — but least we forget where all blessings come from, the Parables and Lessons that Jesus has been Teaching in this Passover Week in the final days before His Crucifixion is that (1) He is Coming Again!!! (2) When He RETURNS there will be the “settling of accounts” (3) and depending on the “Choices” we have made with our God-given Gift of Freewill, we will either suffer the “great tribulation” or we will enter into “the joy of the Lord”. (4) God will not “judge” us for by our own choices and actions we are “witnesses against ourselves” and God at the “end of the age” will administer our just rewards and penalties that were foreordained before the foundation of the world. Jesus has Taught again and again that there will be a “Judgement Day” and God Himself has shown from generation to generation that He has a Plan and God reveals Himself to everyone that seeks knowledge of Him. God has given us His Holy Word through the lives of individuals. God has through inspiration of the Holy Spirit documented His Plan for all to read in the Holy Scriptures. God has sent His Only Begotten Son to be born of a virgin in order that Jesus could be made flesh and live the Perfect Life that as the Lamb of God, Jesus could through His Death be the only Acceptable Sacrifice in the Eyes of The Holy and Just God for the sins of the world, a world of sinners that God loved enough to send the Messiah to save! When we read the parables we must read the “bottom line” and understand that it is our actions that will gain us the “reward” of hearing God Himself say to us “Well done, good and faithful servant…Enter into the joy of your lord.”(Matthew 25:23) or “Cast the unprofitable servant {who was not a faithful, wise, and watchful servant} into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 25:30) If we only read the lessons that Jesus Taught in His Last Week on Earth, there would be enough knowledge of God and the Kingdom of Heaven to know that God’s Plan of Salvation includes the Blood Sacrifice of the Lamb of God which God Himself had promised that He Himself would “provide the sacrifice”, a Promise from God which was fulfilled with the Life, Death, Burial, and RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ!!! Jesus came and obeyed the Father’s Will, suffered at the hands of His own and died on a Cross, was buried in the borrowed tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, and as Jesus had stated clearly several times before His Death, that on the Third Day He would be Resurrected by God and then Ascend into Heaven and sit at the Right Hand of God until that time when God sends the Bridegroom to get His Bride and THEN THE FINAL JUDGEMENT!!! There is no confusion to any that study the Holy Scriptures that no one can stay the hand of God and if God declares it, it will be done! There is no excuse, we have been given every opportunity to know God for He has “Revealed Himself” to us, and at the “end of the age” when Jesus “Returns” God will “settle accounts” God has provided each with a menu, but we must choose what meal we will eat — will you eat at the table prepared by the King of Heaven and Earth and hear the joyful sounds of the wedding feast and “enter into the joy of the Lord” or will you choose to eat of the bitterness of selfishness which we must partake of as a result of providing for ourselves, a meal served in darkness and the only sound we hear is “weeping and the gnashing of teeth”!?!?!?!?!?!?
