JANUARY  01   THE JESUS QUESTIONS   Introduction-01:

 Lessons, Lifestyle, and Parables of Jesus: JQ#1-JQ#33 

 (Matthew 1:1 thru 28:20)

The Gospel of Matthew: A 365 Day Study of the Life,

 Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ

LIVING FOR JESUS   Daily Prayer    

JESUS, we begin this new year with HOPE, not because of anything

 we have done but because of WHAT (we believe) GOD HAS DONE!

 Lord Jesus, I have year after year made resolutions and tried to make 

changes in my lifestyle, but on my own I have to admit that very little 

positive progress was ever made — until — until I learned of the HOPE 

that is given as a Free Gift called Grace included in a single verse of 

scripture that is so familiar that the verse is considered cliche — but to those 

who read the verse and know why the verse was inspired and the 

original intent, the verse itself can be read a thousand times a day 

and with each reading NEW HOPE springs forth eternal 

from GOD’S HOLY WORD: 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

 that whoever believes in Him should not perish

 but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) 

Therefore looking expectantly towards a year that HOPE will reign 

sovereign in my day-to-day life, I start this day, January 1, 2023 with this 

prayer to my Lord Jesus and TRUST GOD’S PROMISE that JESUS will 

“never leave nor forsake” me and I will look forward with HOPE to JESUS

 leading this “writer” in “paths of righteousness”!!!    AMEN

JANUARY  01   THE JESUS QUESTIONS

This blog is a “Daily Devotional” — for this “writer” — and you are

 invited to make it part of YOUR DAILY TIME WITH GOD as I encourage

 you to spend EACH DAY of the NEW YEAR 2025 ahead in the

 WORD OF GOD and LET GOD SPEAK DIRECTLY TO YOU 

THROUGH HIS WORD. 

The Holy Bible contains all the TRUTH each unique individual

 needs to live an abundant life and this blog is simply a window into 

my soul which has found Peace with God from the WORD OF GOD! 

The cliche then is to desire “World Peace” yet deny the TRUTH that can

 achieve “Inner Peace”. The writer of this blog was given an “Inspiration” 

on February 29th of 2016 and that “Inspiration” is the basis of this

 daily blog: The Holy Spirit presented the challenge to this “writer” in this way:

 “Read through the complete Gospel of Jesus Christ written 

by St. Matthew (the first book in the New Testament) starting with

 Matthew 1:1 and every time you come to a ‘Question’ that Jesus 

asks, your challenge is to give Jesus a ‘Truthful answer’.”  

Think about that challenge and your “mission” 

<<< should you choose to accept it >>> 

is to read the Gospel according to Matthew and 

“give Jesus a TRUTHFUL answer”—

 we are all different and each of us has a unique perspective. This blog

 therefore is simply this “writer” sharing a personal “perspective” of what the 

WORD OF GOD has done for my life once I started my 

“Spiritual Journey to Truth”.

  TRUTH can only be found where TRUTH exists, 

not where we want it to exist 

As you read this blog remember that the TRUTH OF GOD will change

 you from the inside out and that you will see that person in the mirror

 in a different “LIGHT” — remember also that TRUTH is FREE 

so what have you got to lose??? 

The Holy Spirit left me with these words of wisdom: 

“No one but GOD owns the TRUTH 

and He gives it FREELY to all who search for it, 

so if someone tries to charge you for TRUTH, 

don’t buy it — Remember, it is a LIE if it comes with a cost!”  

SEE YOU TOMORROW, THE HOLY SPIRIT PROMISES 

TO LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR YOU
