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.

Do your best then sleep in peace…God is awake…


To those who have been baptized remember…

  1. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory...Ephesians 1:13-14.


  1. And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life...1 John 2:25.


  1. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up...2 Peter 3:9-10

 

What a promise that we have the Holy Spirit to help us as a seal of the covenant with Jesus our Lord and God. We have the promise of eternal life and we know the reason why He has not come in Judgement is because He is giving people space for repentance.  What is repentance…it is a change of mind and direction. It is I will no longer follow my self but whatever you say Jesus a thus it is written vocabulary. A knowing the truth and the truth setting us free from liars and the perdition found through their lies. There are three promises given to those baptized I mentioned above…the seal of the Holy Spirit…Eternal life…and the wicked will be punished one day but God is allowing them a chance at repentance before punishing them in eternal torments.

 

Prayer

Father thank you for all of your promises please consider us the Christian and our ways before our children are taught lies do not matter…we know the truth will set us free…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Fallen men and angels repent and forsake satan and any evil deeds…

Fallen men and angels repent and forsake satan and any evil deeds…

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat...2 Peter 3:9-12?

 

We which have forsook evil and been washed have this promise…

According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence (effort) add to your faith virtue (moral excellence); and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance (self-control); and to temperance patience (endurance); and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity (love). For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ...2 Peter 1:3-8.

 

We all (angels and men a like) have a promise we can repent before the world is burned up in judgement by God Almighty…even satan could repent if he so chooses…any soul can repent and forsake their evil. Jesus Christ died and was raised from the dead so any soul could choose to do right not wrong…there is a way and His name is Jesus. Jesus will help us grow in faith and virtue and many other areas in our lives but we have to trust in Him and obey His teachings.

 

Jesus said…And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned...Mark 16:15-16. Have you been washed by the cleansing flood…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father please help us grow in grace and peace with You and Your Son Jesus Christ…and meet our soul’s deepest needs so we can have increased faith in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
