Luke 4

Is going to church important?
Do you go to church often?
Is gathering with people of like faith important to you?
May I share with you why it must be?

16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.  source

As was His custom. GOD in human flesh made it His custom to go to the synagogue.
GOD in human flesh made it His custom to read the Holy Scriptures.
The same Holy Scriptures He gave to men to be penned, He read with human eyes.

It’s imperative that we recognize JESUS as GOD if we are to be saved, and it is vital that we embrace His Humanity if we desire to succeed as humans.

Luke 3

3 And he went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin;  source 

Baptism. It denotes immersion.
Repentance. It denotes changing your mind; agreeing with GOD.
For forgiveness of sin. What we all need!

So was John preaching that until we are immersed, head to toe in changing our mind about our sins and agreeing with GOD that we will not receive forgiveness; in a nutshell, we will not experience His Salvation without this kind of baptism? 

Yep. That’s what I think. And you know what, this Baptism is open to anyone and everyone who will receive it! Isn’t that the BEST NEWS?!

I think so too!

How about some Christmas music? I chose this one because today this one messed up my makeup and invited me to raise my hands and clap in worship!

I hope you do the same.  ♥

The 6th month on the Hebrew calendar roughly corresponds with our month of September – it varies from year to year.

26 Then in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by Adonai into a town in the Galilee named Natzeret 27 and to a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Miriam.  source Luke 1 TLV 

Verse 26 and 27 – The Angel Gabriel was sent by GOD to a town in Galilee, a specific town, not just any town in Galilee but the town of Natzeret. Why? Because in that specific town was a young women of child-bearing age but not yet married, a virgin.

Now let’s let this give us some deep spiritual pleasure. GOD sent. GOD directed the Angel – which means GOD is active and GOD is in charge. Moreover, HE sent the Angel to a specific place because HE knew exactly where the young woman was. In any given moment GOD knows EXACTLY where YOU ARE. GOD knew this young woman personally! HE knew her habits, He knew her goings and comings. Let that settle in on you like you’ve never heard it before. Let the HOLY SPIRIT breathe something holy into your being that will hold you and love you.

OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID. That is SO important. You see GOD follows the rules. GOD does what HE says HE will do. The House of David. GOD made sure the lineage was exact. GOD made sure the bloodline was just as it was spoken by the Prophets of the Old Testament.

This should give us holy awe and gratitude that GOD is GOD. HE is faithful. HE is exact. HE is sure. HE does what HE does ON PURPOSE because His purpose is to save US! Save us from sin, from ourselves, from hell. Just flat-out SAVE us!

The virgin’s name was Miriam (we call her Mary) but GOD called her!

Where else the rest of this reading will go I do not know but just this far wraps me in LOVE and I wanted to share.
