Today’s Scripture
“What is it, then, that God wants us to do?
What is the work He seeks? Just believe. Believe the One He sent.” “The work God wants you to do is this: Believe the One He sent” (John 6:29)
He Was Born “JESUS” The Plan began – God’s Great Plan for humanity for eternity! He began His Plan in His Heart — in the Halls of Heaven! He carried out His Plan across all earth — throughout the universes. Only Love — only Holiness — Royal Grace could have even imagined The Plan! Only Divine Love — Healing could act on The Plan. Only Divine Love — Righteousness-Grace -Forgiveness could endure — ensure — The Plan. You — can believe JESUS! Once The Plan began — no going back. The Creator knew. The Son knew. Soon, all Earth — all mankind — all the universes would witness Heaven’s Majesty Light — born as lighting across the skies over all the planets. Beloved — when Almighty God chose to show Himself to mankind — what did He use? A church? Never — that was of no consequence. A moral, legal code list? Never. Ridiculous to limit God’s revelation — Himself — to a cold, rigid list of do’s or don’ts or cant’s — or must’s — as ridiculous as looking at a Kentucky road map saying you have seen the Appalachian mountains. A book? Never — The Book is so important — still secondary. When God chose to reveal Himself — He revealed Himself through a human body. The Feet that walked — The Hands that touched the leper — had dirt between His Toes — under His Nails. The Feet were rough, calloused, dusty — that woman washed His Feet with her tears. Imagine! The Tears! Never miss The Tears that came when Jesus wept because Mary and Martha still didn’t believe Him! Those Tears came from His Heart breaking — far more than yours could ever be! BELIEVE JESUS! Yes! Oh my how people flocked to Him! Coming at day — at night! Touching Him! Touching the hem of His garment — touching Him as He walked down streets! People followed Him — longed to be with Him! At the seashore — on the beach — in the mountains — in boats — vineyards — in His stable Manger where He was born — oh how they longed for Him! Rich, poor — educated, un-educated — all invited Him to their homes — their tables! Many placed their children, their sons, daughters in His Hands — at His Feet. Why? How? HE IS JESUS! HE IS JESUS Who refused — to be a painting — a statue — an unreachable in a palace — or cathedral — or a priest on a balcony of an elevated pulpit. He chose instead to be JESUS. There was not even a remote suggested hint of any person who feared to go near JESUS. Oh Yes! There were mockers — people envied JESUS! People misunderstood Him — threatened Him, tested Him. Many respected JESUS — worshipped Him. Yet — no one thought JESUS too Holy — too Divine to talk to — or too Holy to touch. Never did one person fear to approach Him — fearful of a rejection. Beloved — remember, BELIEVE JESUS when you are condemning you, when the enemy is condemning you — when you are finding yourself amazed in your feelings of failure. Remember — you BELIEVE JESUS when acid attitudes, talk — threatening accusations are burning holes in your soul (emotions, feelings, thinking, body). Simply remember — you remember — you believe — HE WAS BORN “JESUS”! Blessings Flowing
