“Eli, Eli lama sabachthani? that is, My God, My God, 

why have You forsaken Me?”  (Matthew 27:46)

LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer   

JESUS You are the LIGHT of the world, 

You are our HOPE and our SALVATION — 

O Blessed Day that You were sent by the Father 

in the form of a tiny baby boy — You  came into the darkness

 to lead us to the LIGHT of the Father

 by following the Star of the Holy Spirit.

 Lord, our world has never been the same since you were born

 and through Your Life we have the Perfect Example how to

 Please God the Father. How does one say “Thank You” for a 

“Gift so Precious” as “Eternal Life” and the “Forgiveness of Sins”???

 Lord Jesus, I pray for Your Spirit to fill me this day and everyday

 as I finish my days on earth and then “enter into Your Eternal Rest”!!!    

AMEN

THE JESUS QUESTIONS

Jesus, has been born into the world to a virgin and from 

His Birth to His Death Jesus fulfilled the Holy Scriptures 

that speak of God’s Chosen One. 

Jesus began His Earthly Ministry after being baptized in the

 Jordan River by the “Forerunner of Christ” John the Baptist,

 who upon seeing Jesus enter the baptismal waters declared

 “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!”  

Jesus had told John who had declared himself unworthy to baptize 

Jesus to “Permit it to be so now…” in order that the “Scriptures”

 would “be fulfilled” and then Jesus lived the Perfect Example 

of how to Live for God and then how to Die for God as Jesus 

was consistently Obedient to the will of the Father. The Death of Jesus

 on the Cross demonstrated God’s Great Love for the world and the 

great lengths to which God the Father and Jesus the Son 

were willing to go to in order to Provide Salvation for all mankind.

 Jesus willingly  went to the cross and Shed His Innocent Blood 

and now the Father has proven His Sovereignty 

by Resurrecting the Son on the Third Day!!! 

Jesus has Risen from the Grave and 

BECAUSE HE IS RISEN — OUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN!!! 

The Plan of Salvation has been Perfectly Completed and with 

The Penalty for our Sin being PAID IN FULL by the 

Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus, 

God now extends His Unlimited Favor in the form of GRACE 

 to all that Believe that Jesus is God’s Son!!! Matthew concludes

 his Gospel with a picture of what the world looks like today as 

Matthew records how the world reacted after Jesus showed Himself alive:

 “When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them 

in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; 

and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” 

Amen (Matthew 28:17-20) 

The Gospel of Matthew ends with those Words from Jesus and the world

 is left with one choice to make in order to inherit “Eternal Life” —

 that choice is simply:

 Do you Believe that “God so loved the world that He gave 

His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him 

shall not perish but have everlasting life.” 

(John 3:16)???
