Jesus anointed while living for His burial…

Jesus anointed while living for His burial…

Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, there came unto him a woman having an alabaster cruse of exceeding precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head, as he sat at meat. But when the disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she poured this ointment upon my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her...Matthew 26:6-13.

 

The first to act on Jesus telling the disciples He was going to die was this woman. She prepared His body for burial by anointing Him with very expensive anointment. She did what she could…she loved the Lord as herself. Perhaps she thought I would rather smell great living so I will anoint Him so He will not stink dead or alive. Jesus said her story would be told everywhere the good news has been preached. She did what she could. How many of us fall under this same umbrella…we do what we can…with what we have…where we are at? Loving your neighbor is relatively simple treat everyone like they are Jesus. What have you done for Jesus…obedience is better than sacrifice…are you keeping His teachings by obeying the truth revealed unto you?

 

Prayer

Father thank you for sending Your Only Son to make a way of salvation to those of us who have fallen short of your Glory of Perfection please make a way of salvation for us and meet our soul’s deepest need…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

What does it take to enter into heaven…loving God and your neighbor as yourself…

What does it take to enter into heaven…loving God and your neighbor as yourself…

 

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto Me...Matthew 25:34-40. Servants, be obedient unto them that according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not in the way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers; but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; with good will doing service, as unto the Lord, and not unto men: knowing that whatsoever good thing each one doeth, the same shall he receive again from the Lord, whether he be bond or free...Ephesians 6:5-8.

 

Do you treat your neighbors as if they are Jesus…yes or no? If you do then you will receive the same treatment as towards your good deeds. You want to be treated better then do better…you want and do not have because you do no better than yesterday. Are your prayers reaching God or are you praying with yourself? You truly have a repenting heart and fully surrendered unto God? Or are you just going through the motions of religion?

 

Prayer

Father please forgive us for we deserve nothing…we know we cannot earn Your favor but trust in Your Son for the favors that bless our lives…please meet our soul’s deepest needs for freedom from evil influences and heal us from our mistakes…we renounce the one and pray Your will be done…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Who do you follow God or religion…

Who do you follow God or religion…

Woe unto you, scribes (those who made copy of the Laws of God) and Pharisees (the religious leaders or teachers) , hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte (convert) ; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves...Matthew 23:15. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye tithe (give 10%) mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law, justice, and mercy, and faith: but these ye ought to have done, and not to have left the other undone. Ye blind guides, that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel...Matthew 23:23-24! And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray...Matthew 24:4.


Man cannot relate to God without instructions of knowledge. In religion there are many men and women who follow their religious teachings and teachers just like the scribes and the Pharisees. Most of us have a copy of God’s word and we can check to see if their teachings are in the Law…offer justness or justice not vengeance…mercy…and faith. Jesus is the same yesterday as He is today…He rebuked these religious leaders for judging matters incorrectly and making people into children destined for hell. Imagine this Jesus told the religious leaders they circle the globe to make a convert destined to hell…these were very religious people…being religious will not save you but being righteous or right with God will. Will there be preachers or religious teachers in hell…Jesus taught there would. Do not take the preachers words and live be them but live by the teachings of Jesus Christ and you will be saved. So have a thus it written or a Jesus said for all you do.


Prayer

Father we renounce the teachings of men and satan who tries to deceives the world…please reveal the prescription of truth we need to be whole and right with you and please meet our soul’s deepest needs in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
