LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer    

JESUS, the Name that gives Hope to the hopeless, Rest to the weary, and Peace to the troubled. Jesus is the only Name that can bring us into fellowship with God the Father and bring us Forgiveness of our worldly sins, thereby giving LIGHT to our darkness, Sight to our spiritual blindness, and Salvation to our lostness! Praise God who GAVE His Only Begotten to Suffer and Die for a lost and dying world. Lord Jesus, I thank You that You have heard the prayers of Your servants and have granted to us Your Protection and Your Provisions through Mercy and Grace. May Your Name be lifted up and Glorified with the Father and the Holy Spirit throughout all Eternity!   AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus Teaches us many Lessons within each Lesson therefore we should stop and look at ALL that Jesus is both Teaching and “confirming” with His Lessons least we take God and His Great Plan for granted. Jesus has been giving us signs of the “end of the age” and His “coming again” therefore we should immediately learn that (1) this age IS coming to an end and (2) Jesus, the Son of God Will Return to earth from heaven at a later date. Jesus turned and asked this question to the disciples who had just asked Jesus to give them a “sign” of the the end of the age and His Return, “Do you not see all these things?” (Matthew 24:2) The obvious questions for us to ask now is (1) “Why” is this “Age” going to “end”, (2) “What” is the purpose of Jesus having to come down to earth from heaven “again” and (3) “Where” do we look to “see all these things”??? Jesus gives us the answer if we will but look at His Lesson a little closer — Jesus had just said that “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” (Matthew 24:35) and He immediately continues speaking, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” (Matthew 24:36:37) There is a wealth of knowledge and confirmation in these “words” from the Master Teacher and even as slow as I am, I can come up with a quick list: (1) Heaven and earth both “will pass away” (2) Only the “Power” great enough to “Create” heaven and earth is sufficient enough to make it “pass away” (3) when Jesus Speaks, His Words are TRUTH and TRUTH is Eternal for even though the heaven and earth “will pass” that the Words of Jesus “will by no means pass away” (4) “These things” are part of God’s Plan: which include (a) the creation of the original heaven and earth, (b) the living of this age, (c) God leading His “Chosen People”, (d) His “Chosen People” rejecting Him, (e) God judging His “Chosen People”, (f) God sending His Son to Redeem the world, (g) Resurrecting His Son on “the third day” and then (h) there will be an “end of the age” when the Son returns from Heaven and brings the “end of the age” to a “close” — “but of that day and hour no one knows…” but there is a Plan that has a specific “day and hour” already designated by God. (5) The Plan includes a “Final Judgement” indicated by the mention of “the days of Noah” which was God’s original Judgement on the whole earth which is documented in the earliest of writings as God plainly gives His reason and justification for destroying every breathing thing on earth: “And the Lord said, ‘My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh…’ Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually…So the Lord said, ‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air…’” (Genesis 6:3-7) (6) God judged the earth in Noah’s day, which confirms that (a) Noah and the flood are real (b) and God will destroy the earth and all living things because of the “wickedness” of mankind. This one reference to Noah by Jesus proves the consistency of God and the fairness of God because if God judged the earth once because of “wickedness" then He must make a “Final Judgment” and if the reason God destroyed the earth the first time was because man’s thoughts were continuously evil, then the main reason for “Final Judgement” and the complete destruction of “heaven and the earth” will be because man has rejected God in his heart and that mankind’s “thoughts are continuously evil” and (7) Jesus will be sent to close out the end of the age and execute the judgement of the Father!!! We read an important explanation of this in the Gospel of John: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3) It seems reasonable that the Father would say to the Son — “Go down and wrap this thing up and create a completely new heaven and earth, they have completely rejected Us and therefore We will be completely justified in executing judgement on all mankind for the world has once again condemned themselves with their selfishness and wickedness.” “These things” will happen when the Father decides it will happen and my reasoning tells me that after the “TRUMPET BLOWS” to announce the “coming again” of Jesus the King that Jesus will “SPEAK THE WORD” and “IT WILL BE DONE!” ——— Just like God had it PLANNED all along!!!!!!!
