What did Jesus do?


What did Jesus do?

Dear  Saints,
 
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 20.  Today we see the end of Jehoshaphat’s reign.  He started out seeking God moving in the direction of God’s kingdom.  In the end he turned his back on God.  35 After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly. 36 He joined him in building ships to go to Tarshish, and they built the ships in Ezion-geber. 37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined with Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy what you have made.” And the ships were wrecked and were not able to go to Tarshish.” 2 Chronicles 20:35-37 English Standard Version (ESV). God knows our strength and our weak nesses. He promised that we would be given burdens that are not too heavy (see Matthew 11:27-29).  He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 ESV.  Jesus removed the heaviest burden from us when he gave his life for our sins.  He overcame the harshest penalty (of death) when he arose from the grave.  I know of no other god that did what Jesus did when he died for you and I.  So be of good cheer, do not grieve the Holy Spirit and keep Jesus at the forefront of your life.

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8 ESV.

Dealing with difficult people?


Dealing with difficult people?

April 10, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 19
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear  Saints,
 
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in 2 Chronicles 19.  Jehoshaphat visits his kingdom and appoints certain Levites and priests and heads of families of Israel, to give judgment for the Lord and to decide disputed cases.  11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the governor of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters, and the Levites will serve you as officers. Deal courageously, and may the Lord be with the upright!”” 2 Chronicles 19:11 English Standard Version (ESV). Our Lord knows we are not perfect. God expects us to keep faith in Jesus.  If we love the Lord with all our heart and seek him with all our might, we won’t need to worry about what people or our civil leaders are doing to or for us.  For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8 ESV.  So when we see our civil leaders or for that matter anyone doing things that don’t favor our situation what action do we take.  Americans have the right to complain aloud about our leaders, ask yourself is that truly profitable?  I believe a letter sent without malice would go much farther in inspiring them to take care.  Pastor Jon Lilley had this to say on the same subject; “Have you ever dealt with a difficult person? Of course you have. Dealing with difficult people is a part of life. How should we handle those difficult people? Our first reaction may be to get angry and upset, but this is not how God wants us to respond.”  Jon went on to tell us what God’s Word says about how to deal with people who are not treating us fairly; “God gives us instructions on how to handle difficult people in His Word. In Ephesians, God tells us to be patient, loving, gentle, and humble…”  (to see Jon Lilly’s blog go to; http://jonlilley.com/2013/04/09/dealingwithdifficultpeopl/) I personally agree with our brother in the Lord.  Keep the faith and let your light shine.

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” Hebrews 1:3 ESV.

April 9, 2013 - 2 Chronicles 18
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear  Saints,
 
Today we prayerfully, continue to Feast in a double portion in 2 Chronicles 18.  The King of Israel heard the profit say he would die in battle.  So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.  Just as we said before you cannot hide from God.  33 But a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.” 34 And the battle continued that day, and the king of Israel was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians until evening. Then at sunset he died.” 2 Chronicles 18:33-34 English Standard Version (ESV). God knows the thoughts you have. He knows who you are, where you are, and what’s on your heart.  He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” Hebrews 1:3 ESV.  There is no hiding from the glory of God.  Jesus is our light and men that don’t know Jesus flee from that light.  They love evil and hate the light because it exposes their sin.  Faith justifies those that believe in Jesus.  Salvation is truly the gift of God and no man comes to the father except by Jesus!  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 ESV.  There are no other paths to God!  Only your personal relationship with Jesus will take you to heaven.

.  For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.” Romans 5:10 ESV.
