JULY 14  THE JESUS QUESTIONS  JQ#21  

“What do you think about fish, taxes, lost sheep, 

forgiveness, and your fellow servants?” 

(Matthew 17:25, 18:12,33)

LIVING FOR JESUS  Daily  Prayer    

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 lambs

 being led to the slaughter and 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 [YOUR] Name’s sake!”      

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

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 a 

fallen world that God has committed all His Divine Resources to saving. 

God has been Faithful to that Plan and His 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 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 accomplishes! 

      

     

    …when I AM

 

          …says I WILL

                !!! HE  DOES !!!

The only question we can ask ourselves is 

“Why in the world do we question a God 

that has so unselfishly given so much of Himself for our good?”  

Could it be because we are so selfish 

that we are blinded to His Holiness?
