More of Jesus that we honor and worship at Christmastime.

Part 2

We are told by some, that Jesus is not in all the books of the bible.  Not true.  

You can find Him or His nature in every book of the bible. 

In Micah 5:2

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah,  Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be ruler in Israel, whose going forth are from of old, from everlasting.

Hosea 11:1

When Israel was a child, I loved him,  And out of Egypt I called My son.

Remember when Mary and Joseph had to flee to Egypt to protect the child Jesus because Herod wanted to kill Him? 

This scripture applies to that time in Egypt. God called Jesus and His family out of Egypt when it was safe to return.

There are many examples for us to see Jesus in the Old Testament.

As you read God's word look for Jesus and His nature, you will see a picture that God has painted for you in the Word of God.

Not only is His birth in the Old Testament, (Isaiah 7:14) but His crucifixion, is mentioned.

Psalm 22 is all about the death of Jesus.  In this Psalm Jesus is suffering beyond anything we could endure.

Psalm 22:14

I am poured out like water, all my bones are out of joint;  My heart is like wax, It has melted within Me.

Psalm 22:18

They divided My garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.

Beloved, look for Jesus in all that you read in Gods word. Old and New Testaments.

He is there.

Like a mosaic, you can see the picture as you seek to see it.  

Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal all that Jesus is and what He does and what He will do.

Look for the reason we add bells to our decorations.

It is because God told the priest to sew bells on the hem of their garments.

Exodus 28:33-34

And upon its hem you  shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all around the hem, and bells of gold between them all around.


Do you celebrate Jesus birth with bells?  This is why.  God Himself told the priests to put them on their hems of their garments.  That is reason enough to use bells to decorate. 

They make the sound of celebration.

There is a beautiful legend, about the poinsettia flower.

A poor Mexican girl wanted to bring to church a gift for baby Jesus, and all she had picked were weeds, when she presented the weeds to baby Jesus they turned into a beautiful flower of blushed red.

The poinsettia that we decorate with represents Gods miracles.

Miracles that we can see all through the word of God.

So we have all that we decorate with, in the evergreen trees, lights, candles, wreaths, candy and bells and  the poinsettia flowers.  Even the garland is evergreen, speaks of life.

So Beloved, decorate and enjoy the Christmas season. Let joy fill your hearts.

Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your celebration, as we love and honor Jesus.


God Bless your day

Jesus loves you,

 Love in Jesus

Joy

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW OFFENCES TO COME INTO OUR LIFE? PART 2

How do we deal with offences that we have experienced? Proverbs 17:9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. So, how do we deal with an offence, we cover it with the grace of God and love. Just as God does for us when we are  displeasing to Him. When we cover an offence with God's grace we overlook it and choose to give something of value to ourselves, Peace and rest for our soul. Beloved, our security is in Jesus not in other peoples opinions of us. We must die daily to self, as self is our worst enemy.  Stop trying to measure up to others.  Your journey is about you and Jesus.  Others journey is different from yours.  There are hidden things in their life that only God knows about. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who who commend themselves.   But they, measuring themselves, by themselves and comparing themselves among themselves are not wise. If an offence comes, pass it on to Jes

THERE IS A TIME AND SEASON FOR EVERYTHING, INCLUDING OUR WALK WITH THE LORD.

Have you ever noticed that as the seasons change so do we? (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season,  A time for every purpose under heaven: (Read 1-8) We also have seasons in our life. When at times we have little fellowship with others and other times we have great fellowship. We have a time of new understanding, and of seeing  our Lord in a new light. Brighter than before. As we grow in the Lord our inner circle seems to get smaller, and that is okay, as the Holy Spirit is doing a work in our life.  Don't look at what's past, but instead look ahead, having an expectant mind and heart knowing that God is moving things around in your life and adding new people in our life. When we choose to follow Jesus all the way, and shake off this world and its system, people will leave our life.   Some want one foot in and one foot out, they twist the scriptures to fit their desires.  That doesn't work!! Take another lap around the mountain. (Like the chil

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk i
