The Judge or The Witness?

Today’s Feast Jan 31, 2015 - Genesis 38 The Judge or The Witness? clic aquí en español Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years. “5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?"" John 8:5 New King James Version (NKJV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Genesis Chapter 38; “The profligate conduct of Judah and his family. - This chapter gives an account of Judah and his family, and such an account it is, that it seems a wonder that of all Jacob's sons, our Lord should spring out of Judah, (Hebrews 7:14) . But God will show that his choice is of grace and not of merit, and that Christ came into the world to save sinners, even the chief. Also, that the worthiness of Christ is of himself, and not from his ancestors. How little reason had the Jews, who were so called from this Judah, to boast as they did, (John 8:41) . What awful examples the Lord proclaims in his punishments, of his utter displeasure at sin! Let us seek grace from God to avoid every appearance of sin. And let that state of humbleness to which Jesus submitted, when he came to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, in appointing such characters as those here recorded, to be his ancestors, endear the Redeemer to our hearts” - Matthew Henry Concise As we continue our Feast in Genesis 38, now we see that Judah is making a quick Judgment; ”24 And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry." So Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"’” Genesis 38:24 NKJV. This brings me back to Issue Number One, Salvation! Don’t pronounce judgment on someone you see as a “BAD” sinner. We know they will have an eternal time cut off from God and the Church without salvation. Instead maybe you should tell them about the Loving grace of our God and Savior Jesus! Our God is not willing that any should parish. “9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV. They see something (see Matthew 5:13-16) in your life; they are waiting for you to share it with them. Are you the judge or the witness? Do you hear Jesus calling to you? Are you ready to trust God? If the answer is yes; today is the day of your salvation! Don’t wait another minute to leave, change or quit anything (see Revelation 3:20) Jesus is at knocking at your door this minute. He wants you to come just as you are! Will you answer Him today? Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?
