Amazing Love In Christ

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Greetings in the trustworthy name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Word:

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. Isa 53: 5-7

Thought:

The Messiah Lord Jesus Christ suffered for our sake, bearing our sins to make us acceptable to Holy God. What can we say to such love? How will we respond to him?

The Lord’s Supper

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Word: “The Lord’s Supper”

26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. 29 I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”

Thought:

Jesus Christ – The perfect Lamb of God was given on the cross, a sinless sacrifice so that our sins could be forgiven once and for all. Now everyone can come directly to God through faith because Jesus death has made us acceptable in God’s eyes (Rom 3: 21-24).

Glory of God

Leave a reply

Dear all,

May God give you more and more grace and peace.

Word:

“But when Jesus heard about it he said.” Lazarus sickness will not end in death. No, it happened for the glory of God so that the son of God will receive glory from this”. John 11:4.

Thought:

Any trial a believer of Lord Jesus Christ faces in his walk with Christ can ultimately bring glory to God, because God can bring good out of any bad situation (Romans 8:28, Genesis 50:20). The problems are opportunities to honor Him.

Peace be with you

Dear all,

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us praise our Lord and forget not all His benefits. His grace is new every day.

Word: Jesus appears to Thomas – John 20: 26-29 – A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Thought: In the hands of Jesus there is certainty! There is providence! There is majesty! The hands of Jesus are saving hands. The Bible describes every type of sin but declares that the Lord delivers from them all. His saving hands are secure hands. Of all who come to Him He said, “I will give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand”. The hands of Jesus are able to hold secure for time and eternity all that we commit to Him. – Adapted from Streams in the desert, Mrs. Charles Cowman, Forty-first printing, September 1982.

Facing challenges …. Jesus is with you

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Ephesians 6: 10

Word:

It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. Psalms 18: 32-34

Thought:

God doesn’t promise to eliminate challenges: Instead he promises to give us strength to meet those challenges. If he gives us no rough roads to walk, no mountains to climb and no battles to fight we would not grow. Lord Jesus Christ never leaves us alone with our challenges, however. Instead he stands besides us; he teaches us, carrying us through the storm and strengthens us to face them.

Power of God

Word:

One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God, Psalms 62: 11

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1: 7

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.  1 Peter 1: 18 – 21.

Thought:

There is power, power, wonder-working power in the blood of the Lamb;

There is power, power, wonder-working power in the precious blood of the Lamb. Lewis E. Jones, 1899

Refuge

Word:

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalms 46: 1 – 3

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. John 15: 1 – 4.

Thought:

Jesus is our eternal refuge and gives strength and confidence in all circumstances.

Jesus – The author of our life

Word:

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me. John 10: 11 and 14

Thought:

Jesus gives life. The life he gives right now is abundantly rich and full. It is eternal, yet it begins immediately. Life in Christ is lived on a higher plane because of his overflowing forgiveness, love and guidance. Have you taken Christ’s offer of life ?

 

God’s choice

Word:

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2: 9 – 10.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. John15:16

Thought:

Let us renew our vision and confidence in Christ.

God’s choice is based on HIS grace: Those who are chosen do not deserve to be chosen, they are chosen as an unmerited favor from God.

 

God is our provider

Word:

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together. Genesis 22: 6 – 8.

Thought:

Let us renew our vision and confidence in Christ.

God sent Lord Jesus Christ as the lamb of sacrifice for our sake.

Jesus is our light, joy, hope and salvation, a friend who never forsakes, who lifts us when others try to push us down. We cannot wear Him out; we pile on Him all our griefs and troubles. He is always ready to lift us and help us. He addresses with the same love; He beams up on us with the same smile; He pities us with the same compassion. There is no name like HIS. – Streams in the Desert – Mrs. Charles E. Cowman.
