Total submission to Christ

Dear all,

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

Word: “Jesus Reinstates Peter”

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”  Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. John 21: 15 – 17

Thought:

Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved him. The first time Jesus said, “Do you love me more than these? (Greek agape: self-sacrificial love). The second time, Jesus focused on peter alone and still used the word translated into Greek, agape. The third time, Jesus used the word translated into Greek, phileo (brotherly love) and asked, in effect, “Are you even my friend?

If Lord Jesus Christ asked us the same question today, what will be our response? If we do everything out of love we will never be disappointed. Let us run for the Lord with love.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Roman 5:5

All to Jesus I surrender;

All to him I freely give;

I will ever love and trust him,

In his presence daily live.    Judson W. Van DeVenter, 1896

New creation

Leave a reply

Dear all,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. As we are learning Proverbs, let us continue to apply in our day today life.

Word:

Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them. Mark 7: 14 and 15.

Thought:

An action begins with a single thought allowing our mind to dwell on it. Let’s fill our minds with the word of God and think about what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely and admirable  (Philippians 4: 8).

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Cor 5:17

Word:

Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Pro 16:24

Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket Pro 25: 11

Thought:

Words can be used as a tool or a weapon, for building relationships or breaking them. Build a bridge with every person you meet today with your kind words and show the love of Christ to them. God’s wisdom will make a difference through you in their lives.

Hallmark of Christianity

Dear all,

Greetingsto you in the most precious and glorious name of our resurrected Lord andSavior Jesus Christ.

Word:

Be strong in the grace that is inChrist Jesus. And the things you have heard me sayin the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. II Tim 2: 1- 2

Thought:

Graceis God’s undeserved favor on our behalf. Just as we are saved by God’s grace  we should live by it. Total trust and hope inChrist Jesus and His power alone is sufficient to effectively live for Him. Inorder to serve God we need courage, commitment and willingness to renounceworldly pleasure.

The true essence and hallmark of Christianity is action, not words – Author Unknown

Word:

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King

Asthey approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesussent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and atonce you will find a donkey tiedthere, with her colt by her. Untie themand bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lordneeds them, and he will send them right away.” Mat 21: 1-3.

“Rejoicegreatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentleand riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zech 9:9).

The Lord’s deliverance is assured.We might not feel it, but that does not imply He has forsaken us. For the Lord is sure and our only source of refuge.

Christ’s Compasion

Leave a reply

Word:

            Therefore, as God’s chosen people,holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any ofyou has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And overall these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Col3: 12 – 14

Thought:

Pauloffers us guidelines to live for Christ moment by moment. Imitate Christ’scompassionate, forgiving attitude. Let love be the guiding force of your life.  Let the peace of Christ always rule your heart.Wherever you go express the aroma of Christ in your words and deeds.
