When you go to church remember...Enter to worship...leave to serve

How Jesus was required to Remember the Sabbath Day...

In the Ten Commandments...which was the minimum requirements Jesus (from the tribe of Judah not a priest from the tribe of Levi) to be sinless...The remember the Sabbath Day was a commandment which when obeyed left one ready to worship on the day God would receive worship from His people...The Jew when he remembered the Sabbath Day...would have kept the other 9 commandments so according to our English Roman Calendar would have been ready to worship on Saturday...instead of offering an animal sacrifice.


Here are the Ten commandments shortened for ease from Exodus chapter 20:


1. You will have no other gods before Me.

2. You will not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth

3. You will not take the name of the LORD your God in vain

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

5. Honor your father and your mother

6. You will not kill.

7. You will not commit adultery.

8. You will not steal.

9. You will not bear false witness against your neighbor.

10. You will not covet


As a Jew if you had kept the other 9 commandments then you were in the worship assembly...not the sacrifice an animal line...so remember the Sabbath Day was a requirement so you would not have to offer a sinner's sacrifice...and would have been accepted in worship.


Jesus in talking to the Samaritan woman told her anyone could be accepted on any day If they were worshiping God in Spirit and Truth...As it is written...But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (Joh 4:23-24)


After Jesus died and rose from the dead and the Apostles began the church on the Day of Pentecost...found recorded in the book of Acts chapter 2...this word from Jesus became in effect the replacement or the fulling of the remember the Sabbath Day so you could be accepted by God in worship.


Jesus as it is written in Mark 12:29-31 said...And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, you will love your neighbor as yourself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (Mar 12:29-31)


As it is written...Jesus Christ said...If any man come to Me and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be my disciple. (Luk 14:26-27)



So in our terms...when go to the worship assembly we call church...remember enter to worship and leave to serve.


Pray with me...

Father please help us keep ourselves in the truth and walk in the Spirit so we can always call on You and worship You anytime...please meet our soul's deepest needs and heal our sounds caused by accidents and sinful behavior...in Jesus of Nazareth's name amen.

Jesus Christ is the Judge Who judges according to the truth He has revealed…

Jesus Christ is the Judge Who judges according to the truth He has revealed…

I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick (living) and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables…Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (from the lies which would lead you to hell)… All things are delivered unto Me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save (except) the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. Come unto Me, all ye that labor (work) and are heavy laden (burdened), and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (teaching of truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient to God) and lowly in heart (humble or approachable): and ye shall find rest unto your souls (freedom from the evil which would drag you away from the truth). For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (2Ti 4:1-4 Joh 8:31-32 Mat 11:27-30)


Do you love the truth revealed from Jesus Christ…It is written we must have a love of the truth to overcome satan and his lies…

For the mystery of iniquity (law without God) does already work: only he who now lets will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders (miracles based on a lie), And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion (a false reality not easily proven false unless you love the truth), that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness… Wherefore let him that thinketh he stands take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man (all men have felt or endured the same temptations): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry… What say I then? that the idol is anything, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is anything? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that you should have fellowship with devils. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. (2Th 2:7-12 1Co 10:12-14 1Co 10:19-21)


Prayer for adoption by Jesus in the truth…

Father please show us mercy for we stand condemned as a nation…we renounce any unholy source and all forms of idolatry and satan’s kingdom…please reveal the truth to us so we can change and do what is right by You and Your Holy Son Jesus Christ…please let the United States of America by Your last remnant and save us from Hell…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Can you out give God our Creator…

Can you out give God our Creator…


Can a man give anything to the Creator but love or as Jesus said … if You love Me then Keep My Commandments…Do you realize our only value is in the rightful obedience to the truth? Yes or no? We do not like to hear render obedience do we…If you do not obey the truth then God says He will burn you in hell fire forever…therefore man has no value other than fearing God and Keeping His Commandments.


The writer of Ecclesiastes said the whole purpose of man was to fear God and keep His commandments…Do you know your plan and purpose…Do you have a plan and purpose? Yes or no. Jesus of Nazareth (Acts 22:8) is the Author of Salvation (Heb 5:8-9) and will write you a plan and purpose in life…a plan of redemption…reconciliation and salvation which results in eternal life as He reveals the truth to you and you practice what is right with God and creation.


Jesus Christ of Nazareth…the only Jesus which came from the town in Israel named Nazareth…should really be said…Jesus the Christ…Christ is His title not His last name…it is His office…Jesus Christ is the only Son of our Father in Heaven and the Only One Qualified to Forgive you and teach you how to be right with His Father…Jesus died on the cross and was raised from the dead to institute His teaching as the Author of Salvation as a New Agreement between God and creation destroying the works of the devil. Jesus trained His Apostles and Holy Men of God to teach His New Agreement or teachings after He ascended into Heaven after being raised from the dead. Jesus being born into the tribe of Judah had to only meet the minimum requirements of never breaking the Ten Commandments…Jesus not from the priestly tribe of Levi never violated the Ten Commandments and remained sinless from birth until His death and even today remains sinless from Heaven where He reigns after being resurrected from the dead until His enemies are made His footstool…But of which of the angels hath He (Jehovah) said at any time, Sit You on my right hand, Till I make Your enemies the footstool of Your feet? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? (Heb 1:13-14)


Jesus Christ said…All things have been delivered unto Me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does any know the Father, except the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son decides to reveal Him. Come unto Me, all you that labor (work) and are heavy laden (burdened), and I will give you rest. Take my yoke (Jesus Teaching of Truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient to God) and lowly (humble or approachable) in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Mat 11:27-30) Do you want to learn the truth and be free from evil in order to do what is morally right before God…yes or no? Do you agree to read the New Testament of Christ in order to know the teachings of Jesus Christ…yes or no…if you agree then Jesus said you will find rest for your souls or free from the lies which torment your soul but you have to obey the Jesus the Truth and do what is right…sound like good news…Yes or no?


Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life: no one comes unto the Father, but by Me. (Joh 14:6) Jesus said before His ascension into Heaven after His resurrection…


As it is Written… And afterward He was manifested (made known) unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat (food); and He upbraided (shamed) them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen Him after He was risen. And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He that believes (the good news) and is baptized will be saved; but he that disbelieves (rejects the message of Jesus) will be condemned. And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in My name will they cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise (way) hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. Mar 16:14-20 ASV


Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs for truth and reconciliation…please bless us so that our soul prospers…and please have mercy on America by granting us a leaf from the tree of life we are sin sick and need Your help…In Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
