This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief...1 Timothy 1:15. And He spoke this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if He lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until He find it? And when He hath found it, He lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when He cometh home, He calls together His friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with Me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance...Luke 15:3-7.


What is repentance…it is 180-degree turn around…a turning from self to God…from lies to truth…from self to Jesus. It is a change in behavior…a change in direction…a change of mind that results in right deed…righteousness. Then Jesus said to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free...John 8:31-32. How many of us do not even read His word…to know what He has said on the matter…to have thus it is written for the actions of ourselves?


Are you sanctified through baptism…have you been baptized into Christ’s death burial and resurrection…yes or no? Baptism puts you into Christ…a repentant life keeps you in Christ…are you remaining faithful to your commitments to Jesus…and the Father…yes or no?


…I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day...2 Timothy 1:12.


Prayer

The Soul who kneels before Jesus can face anyone...

Learning from the first letter to the Thessalonians…

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints...1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.


For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication (sex outside of marriage): That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor; Not in the lust of concupiscence (bad things), even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit. But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another. And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech (beg) you, brethren, that you increase more and more; And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing....1 Thessalonians 4:3-12.


Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly (law unto themselves), comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings (preaching forth of truth). Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ...1 Thessalonians 5:14-23.

 

These Christians had turned from superstitious idols to the living God…they were given instruction on how to sanctify themselves and exhorted and encouraged to love like Jesus…Go and do likewise…

 

Prayer

Father please preserve our body, soul, and spirit blameless unto the coming of Jesus in Judgement…and meet our deepest needs of our soul, body, and spirit…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Why were are the 3 shepherds called the three wise men…

Why were are the 3 shepherds called the three wise men…

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way...Matthew 2:10-12.

 

They gave gifts to help a struggling family that a king Herod was trying to kill so they could be provided for and escape the snare. How much value could we learn from this wise move from the three shepherds…gave gifts that would supply a small fortune perhaps enough to raise Jesus…this is why people call them the three wise men which gave gold…frankincense…and myrrh. They also worshipped the young Child and they obeyed the warning of the God in a dream! Wise men indeed.

 

Father

Please meet our soul’s deepest needs so we may prosper and be in health as our soul prospers in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
