Good Question, John!

Reading Luke 3

Verse 7!
Good question, John!

Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

I think multiple people warned me before I heeded and fled the wrath that was coming. 

Have you been warned? Who warned you? 
Have you warned anyone? 

How would you answer those questions? Can you answer them with certainty? 

Reading more. Tax collectors heeded. Soldiers heeded.

More questions.
Fire.
Threshing floors.
Inextinguishable fire.   

And then we read: John proclaimed Good News to the people

Amongst all this fire and wrath and judgment? Good News? 

Yes! Exceeding Good News! 

JESUS has come! His lineage, straight from GOD! And since He is the question is still good! 

Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

If that someone is still walking earth’s sod, check in with them, send them a note, or call them with a word of thank you for sharing JESUS with you. 

Reading Truth!

The reading of Luke 1.

May I share a few words? Words I underlined as I read. It’s longer than other chapters — but, you just might find it worth the read.

Why was this Gospel of Luke penned?
Verse 4. So we may know for sure the truth.  So as we read the whole of the Gospel of Luke, let us know we are reading truth. Let truth reign in us.

Verse 37.  We can land on this one. Remember we are reading truth!37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.”  Nothing we bring to Him in prayer, petition, and request is impossible.  Nothing is too big or too small. He cares! Not only does He care. He is able!

45. Blessed is she who trusted . . . there is more to the verse but I am convinced I can safely believe this for me. I am blessed when I trust Him!

In verses 74 and 75 I see we are rescued from the fiercest of enemies to serve The HOLY ONE. To serve Him in holiness and righteousness all our days! This is our calling! This is our duty. This is our greatest privilege and pleasure. Do we believe this truth?

Verse 77. The knowledge of salvation comes through the removal of our sins. It says removal! At salvation! Our sins are removed! We no longer bear them because JESUS did!

Verses 78 and 79. Through our GOD’s heart of mercy . . . we have the guide for our feet. We get to walk in peace on the sod of this hostile world because He was made flesh and dwelt among us! John 1:14 And He is coming again! Revelation 22:20.

Stump

Day one.

Isaiah 11:1 But a branch will emerge from the trunk of Yishai, [Jesse] a shoot will grow from his roots. 2 The Spirit of Adonai will rest on him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and power, the Spirit of knowledge and fearing Adonai — via Is 11 NASB;CJB – Righteous Reign of the Branch – Then a – Bible Gateway.

Who is this One from the root of Jesse? This One upon whom the Spirit of the LORD rested? This One filled with wisdom and understanding? The One of whom it was said: 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I’ve ever done. Could it be that this is the Messiah?”  [source]  This One who gives perfect counsel? This One with power and knowledge? This One that always pleased the Father? 

Who is this One? Do you know? 

Day 335 of 2014, a day to give Thanks.
