Darkness has the wind or terror. Glory has pierced all ages of man. ... And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. ... ~ Genesis 1:1-4 Time is a shadow of eternities calling. ... He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. ... ~ John 1:1-4 God’s own image or reflection of life dwells in each of us. God’s own word is the greatest of treasures that takes more than a lifetime to grasp upon. To learn is to run with what has been given. None of us can fully appreciate what God has done by giving each of us a portion of His own Image upon the expanse of creation. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. ~ John 1:14 I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior. ~ Isaiah 43:11 Jesus is the definitive image of God to show us exactly how much He loves us sacrificing His own life to free us to possess our own autonomy to choose direction. Will we come to Him? ... "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." ~ John 6:32-35 ... he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. ... ~ John 6:47-49 Eternity belongs to those who believe in God
"This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die." ~ John 6:50 "... anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world." ~ John 6:51 Jesus is the elixir of eternal life. Jesus cannot be containerized or homogenized to fit the tastes of man. He cannot be quantified as He is the substance of all reaching beyond the stars. He is that He is and has proclaimed the nature as well as the desires God has for His creation of autonomous life. ... "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you." ~ John 6:52-53 Unless we see to confess His creation and depend upon His life, we possess no true eternal life in His light. "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ... ~ John 6:54-56 The substance of what we are and why we live is dependent upon God who created all things. ... he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down from heaven ... ~ John 6:57-58 Jesus brought the treasures of heaven to be known among men. "... this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." ~ Matthew 26:26-28 From His presence and life comes God’s truth
... "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." ... ~ Luke 22:19-20 Human beings forget to the detriment of unity among me. God instituted what could be easily remembered so that we could identify with His creation of life; that we should acknowledge this and be thankful for it. ... Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." ... ~ Mark 14:22-24 God reveals His desire for our return from sin
... Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. ~ Hebrews 9:16-18 The new covenant has been dedicated with His blood, and by His death it is currently in force. In His death we admit our lives under the hand of God’s own blessings. ... nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ~ 1st Corinthians 5:7-8 An eternal meal has been prepared
His kingdom is built on our ability to turn away from temptations, sin, that we may embrace the truth, of His giving life to each of us, under His order of goodness. How easy is it to forget Him asking us to purge those growing sins, with humble hearts in recognition of His simple creation. Grace be upon us as He is here waiting for our response. Each of us has an arsenal of conscience. These wheels drive who we are and if wickedness and animosities overtake us, the defenses of spiritual strengths are diminished, and our eternal lives come into jeopardy. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ... ~ 1st Corinthians 10:16-17 God embraces each to bond in His sacrificial love
... You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. ... ~ 1st Corinthians 10:19-22 Our focus in worship declares our heart to God in what we are paying attention to. Is it to God or some distraction; an earthly desire or petty complaint over soul submission to His forgiveness and gift of grace for our return? ... and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; ..." ~ 1st Corinthians 11:23-24 ... "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. ~ 1st Corinthians 11:25-26 Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, ... ~ Acts 20:7 ... let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ~ 1st Corinthians 11:27-28 ... eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. ... ~ 1st Corinthians 11:29-31 Thinking of the fleshly concerns can lead to unthankfulness, depression, and anger. Spiritual meditations deliver thankfulness, a hopeful spirit, and joy in Him. ... To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father ... ~ Revelation 3:20-22 When we make Christ greater than our sin we climb into His presence. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? ... ~ 2nd Cor. 13:5 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. ... ~ Romans 14:7-9 Life and death remains as declared in His way
In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, ... ~ Colossians 2:11-12 Is God our master or is it the desires of our flesh? It is the measure of character in self-control over recklessness. Treasure beyond measure is the light He offers, laid before us all. In the face of God His call beckons
In Christ is the true meaning of living Darkness misses all that is sweet. |
