l The Feast l
Sep 19_2012 John 13
Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully Feast in John 13. Jesus set's an example for us in how we treat our relationship with one another. I know I say this a lot but it is very important that every saint knows this commandment. “34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”” John 13:34-35, English Standard Version (ESV). This is important in our relationship with each other as well as our relationship with God. For the rest of today's Feast I'll repeat yesterday's Feast. “13 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13 English Standard Version (ESV), Some might think it redundant but I say it is important that each of us understands what God expects. The Way of Love. By love they shall know that Jesus has sent us. He sends us to share his love for God's creation. God says he loves the sinner so much that he sent his only begotten son, Jesus to pay the price for our sin. Again I'll say; “God's commandments doesn't save us from sin. Rather they point out our sin. The most important commandment of all testifies of a loving relationship with him. In it he also expects us to share that love in our relationship with our neighbors. “36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”” John 10:9-11 ESV. Every aspect of our life should reflect our loving relationship with Jesus. Even our conversation which springs from our very thoughts should glorify God. “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” Ephesians 4:29 ESV. Please continue to keep the first thing first! That is salvation through the blood of the lamb, Jesus. Let's continue to walk in and share His love.

The Feast
Wed, September 19, 2012, John 13, - “Christ washes the disciples' feet. (1-17) The treachery of Judas foretold. (18-30) Christ commands the disciples to love one another. (31-38)“ – Matthew Henry Concise

Never never get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every Saint; “…But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36. We are building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change anything.
God Bless you,
Brother Mike
