Day 6 – Why Would HE?

Leave a comment

Day 6

Luke 6 (BSB)

Did you know JESUS spent the whole night in prayer to The Father before He chose His 12 Disciples?
Do you know He acted promptly upon what He was given in prayer?

Verse 13 says When daylight came. He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles: Yeshua Judaismo

From the Text, we know He had more to choose from than the 12 He chose.
We also know One of them was a traitor, and He knew that — He chose him knowing that. Ponder that.

Why would The Son of Man/Son of GOD spend the whole night praying/conversing/listening to GOD The Father,  at any time and particularly before He chose The Twelve?

What have we learned about JESUS – YESHUA so far these 6 days?
Who is this Son of Man – Son of GOD to you?

Day 5 – Rent

Day 5

Luke 5 (BSB)

f6f4f60aee747f630cf71b4740d911ae-163514891 On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God, 2 He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3 Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat. 4 When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” 

The crowds were pressing in to hear The Word of GOD.  (Let us press in today to hear The Word of GOD – we can do that as we read our Bibles and listen.)

Do you know what JESUS will do in the following few verses?  I hope you will read it for yourselves but here’s my opinion: He was about to pay rent for the use of Simon’s boat. 

I see The one and only GODMAN is completely sinless, completely unselfish, and completely non-abusive. He used Simon’s boat and He rewarded (or shall we say paid) Simon for the use of same. 
(There are life applications here for us — may we ponder and practice them. ) 

If you continue to read you will see that Simon was reluctant to let down the nets because they had worked all night and caught nothing, but because JESUS said so, they put out the nets. 
Are you familiar with what happened? 

Enough fish to fill both boats – Simon’s and the Sons of Zebedee’s! 

Yes! JESUS paid handsomely!  And that was only the beginning of what our Blessed Savior would pay for the likes of those fishermen and us! 

Celebrate today, my Friends, The Savior who paid it all!

Day 4 – Combat

Leave a comment

Day 4

Luke 4

Temple-Mount1Verses 1 -13.  If you will, the link just above will open for easy reading. In these verses, you will learn of JESUS and the Evil One.

The chapter opens with JESUS having left Jordan where He had submitted to baptism and was then led by HOLY SPIRIT to the wilderness, some translations say a deserted place. Why? For “hand-to-hand” combat with the Evil One. Three of their conversations are recorded for us — I think they represent the whole of the weaknesses and temptations of fallen mankind.

It’s almost humorous to me that Satan would say, “IF You are the Son of GOD; considering the fool was at one time an anointed Cherub!
IF You are! Having spent time with JESUS in Heaven since his creation, he would dare use the word: IF!

JESUS responded with Scripture. It’s the only way to beat the old pro!

Verse 6 is Satan flaunting his victory in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve . . . so evil!
He also shows his colors in verse 7 — he wants worship!

Please remember in verse 4 JESUS quotes Scripture — by the way, HE knew The Scriptures to quote them because HE had been reading and studying Them since HE learned to read, as a Toddler, I suspect.
Think about it! GOD Incarnate studying The Scriptures HE breathed for man to pen.
As the GODMAN, HE had to study. It wasn’t just given to Him in the womb.  Father commissioned Him to live the life we don’t, which included KNOWing the Scriptures.

Verses 9-11. Guess who else has studied Scripture?
If we miss the importance of this, we will be putty in the hands of the evil one.  (I am reminded just now that Scripture says we are to be clay in The Potter’s Hand.) Isaiah 64:8
Satan is forever the Counterfeit!

I hope you will read Luke 4 and listen for HOLY SPIRIT to teach you.

Day 4.  Dig in there is WAY MORE in Luke 4 than we have written here today.
