JULY 10  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#21-14  >>> 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)

Daily Prayer to JESUS    

Jesus I turn each morning to Your Word and look to the rising sun as Your Promise to never leave us nor forsake us. Lord Jesus, my prayer today is that I can share this “Peace” in knowing You with others that You will place in my path today and make me mindful that whatever circumstance I find myself in that I will have Your Peace with me always but if I don’t share Your Peace with those that don’t know You, then that becomes a lose-lose-lose situation, they lose because they don’t have You, they lose because without You they can’t have Your Peace, and I lose for I lost an opportunity to grow closer to You by sharing You and Your Peace with the world that is hurting so much because the world has turned from God. Forgive me when I fail to share the sweet fragrance of Your Love and Peace in my life with others as You have commanded.    AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

JULY 10  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#21-14  >>> 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 does not Teach us the same Lesson over and over just so that He can hear Himself talk. Jesus who is both Infinite and Divine cannot possibly need to beat our brow for His sake, so when He attacks a problem again and again we must take note and make every effort to learn what He is Teaching. First we must consider the obvious and ask ourselves “Why would a Deity with Infinite Knowledge forfeit His Deity to become flesh and suffer and die at the hands of sinners?” This is a Mystery of God that can only be answered by God Himself but even if we never get the answer in our lifetime we should not be so foolish as to conclude that because God does not “explain Himself” in terms that our limited intellect can comprehend, that God Himself has no relevance in our life! God has revealed Himself as He wants us to know Him from our earthly viewpoint so that we can come to a “spiritual understanding” of God that will open the door to our “eternal” future. I do not have to know how gravity works or be able to explain all the physics involved to know that gravity exists. Today’s world tells us that God does not exist and that is supposed to be the “Truth” because they have been given a degree in some scientific discipline by some university that has a very high tuition? Both God and gravity defies scientific explanation but we accept gravity because we have felt it working in our daily lives. We say that gravity was “discovered” by Sir Isaac Newton when an apple fell on his head but fail to see the Truth that gravity existed BEFORE it was “discovered” (if gravity didn’t exist before it was discovered then what made the apple fall in the first place?) and secondly, even though it was “discovered” it has never been fully explained, but even though science cannot explain gravity, our lives are still impacted by gravity and we simply could not exist without it. We know gravity is “real” because we can see the physical results of gravity such as a falling apple or something so simple as a pencil laying quietly on a table — take away gravity and that pencil and the table will be floating around in the absence of gravity and that is a picture of our world without God holding us “spiritually” in place, we are just floating aimlessly around in space and we are at the mercy of others and we’ll go in the direction of the latest “push” from the powers that are telling us God doesn’t exist and is not relevant in our lives. God is real and can be proven very simply, God can be felt just as real as an apple that falls from the tree but we have to have ourselves in the apples path to feel it and to feel God we must place ourself in His Path. Simply look for Him and His Spirit will touch your heart. Just like our physical body is aware of the presence of gravity, the “spiritual” part of our being will know when it is in the Presence of God. God is an unexplained Spirit and even though it can not be comprehended by our limited physical observations, the Spirit of God is to our soul what gravity is to our body, the Spirit of God keeps us grounded in eternity just like gravity keeps our bodies grounded to this earth on which we temporarily reside.  The Truth of God is that both gravity and God work on us on a personal basis without the explanation of the scientific community and are governed not by man’s laws but by God Himself. To entertain the possibility that God does not exist is to allow others to control the “spiritual gravity” in your life and I personally don’t want those that seek personal power over others to control what they can’t explain, and that goes for both gravity, which by the way it is imperative that I keep in touch with gravity on a personal basis without having to wait on some lawyer or politician telling me how to use my personal gravity and the same is true for my “spiritual gravity” which I do not want to have to wait on some lawyer or politician telling me how to use God who they can’t explain either! God is revealed by gravity and we must make our own “discovery” and admit that if we can explain God or not, GOD EXISTS ——— how else do we explain the things that no scientist will ever be able to explain such as the universe around us and the miracle of life itself that we have observed which can only be explained by the True Existence of a Supreme Power ———  God’s UNEXPLAINABLE Understanding and Power define God Himself !!! There is only One True Eternal Creator God and all else is simply His creation ——— God told Moses “I AM WHO I AM” and that is all the explanation that we need to understand both gravity and God ——— God has declared it, therefore it is, “deal with it”!!!
