Today’s Feast
Jan. 08,
2016 – II Samuel 24
Jesus
Paid The Whole Price!
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.
“Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so
the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said. Hate
evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the Lord,
the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
Amos
5:14-15,
ESV.
Dear Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue the Feast in 2nd
Samuel Chapter
24; “David numbers the people. (1-9) He chooses the pestilence. (10-15) The staying the pestilence. (16,17)
David's sacrifice, The plague removed. (18-25)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Because of his pride David sins numbering
the people. God requires David to choose the punishment for his sin. He
chooses the pestilence. At Jerusalem God stays the pestilence. David realizes
it is not a sacrifice if he doesn’t pay for it personally. The Lord responds
removing the plague from Israel. “24 But the king
said to Araunah, “No, but I will buy it from you for a price. I will not
offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” So David
bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 25 And
David built there an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace
offerings. So the Lord responded to the plea for the land, and the plague was
averted from Israel.” 2
Samuel 24:24-25, ESV. Look at what happened here as David pays for sin.
Praise God, Jesus paid the whole price for our sin. We can’t earn it, buy it
or pay for it; we don’t sacrifice to be free of sin. We can make some
sacrifices in appreciation of what Jesus has done for us. Never attempt to pay for God’s gift of
salvation. Whatever you do for Jesus, do it out of love for our awesome God! “And
whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians
3:17, ESV. Please keep the first thing first, that is salvation
through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Give God the glory in all things; let God
be in charge of every area of your life. Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus, never
be averted by the actions of men. If the Lord is willing I’ll
send and post the Feast again tomorrow.

Don’t 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; “36 “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, ESV. We are building our
relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to change
anything. Click this link for more
