Sink In

Let That Sink In

I have something for us to let sink in today.

Luke 8:
9 Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”
10 And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that
‘Seeing they may not see,
And hearing they may not understand.’

I’d like to concentrate on just a few words from verse 10 today. The rest of verse 10, perhaps another day.

And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God,

In the Text, at the time it was spoken, He was speaking to His disciples. What is a disciple, anyway?

Free Dictionary dot com says: One who embraces and assists in spreading the teachings of another, and an active adherent, as of a movement or philosophy. Link

According to that definition, does He still have disciples today? Moreover, are you one of them? Am I?

And if so, what does this Text say about us?

“To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God,

It has been given for us to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of GOD! Not that it may be given, but it has! Father GOD is not hiding His Kingdom from us- how it functions, why He has a Kingdom, etc.
He wants us to know!

So, what’s holding us up? Let that sink in!

Dig Deep

46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 
47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep
The title of our post today — Dig Deep.

and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 
49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Luke 6

Foundations are important; so important that we cannot build a proper anything without the proper foundation. JESUS knew that, and He built on it to explain to us that HE is the proper and only foundation for us to build these mortal lives on. Because vehement storms are going to come, be we saved or lost.

But he who heard and did nothing . . . oh, let me not be one who hears and does nothing! Rather, let me pick up a pickaxe and a shovel, whatever it takes to dig deep in the Word so that I can build this mortal life on the ROCK of my Salvation. I urge you to do the same. Pick up your Bible, paper, pen, and a commentary, if you please, and set about digging deep into the Word of GOD. As the TEXT says, vehement storms are going to come, but we who have dug deep and whose lives are built on the ROCK will stand.
One more thought. Please notice the Text reads: the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 
Notice that it says could not. It doesn’t say did not, but could not! The storms, the enemy cannot beat us when we are solid on the Rock.

2026, Gospel of Luke, Hebrews

Twelve

49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.
51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Luke 2 NKJV

Today’s Text selection occurred when Yeshua was 12 years of age. He had been living in Nazareth with his mother and Joseph (such a special man, but that’s for another time), making yearly trips to Jerusalem, and on this trip, He stayed behind in the temple. Mary and Joseph had gone a day’s journey from Jerusalem when they realized he wasn’t in the caravan with some of the other travelers.
I can easily imagine the angst and panic when they realized Yeshua was missing – three days of panic! But then they found Him!

Twelve.
He was 12 when this happened. By this time, He had read the Scriptures and knew the Scriptures better than the Scribes. At 12! But what did He do when Mary and Joseph found Him in the temple?
He went with them back to Nazareth for the next 18 years. For 18 years He waited. He waited for The Father’s timing to begin His three-year public Ministry.

There is so much to this GOD being a Man! All those years, 18 of them, were not wasted, my Friends. During those years, Yeshua walked, ate, worked, slept, talked, laughed, loved His mother, Joseph, His brothers and sisters – all the while living a perfect, holy life, guided, empowered, and protected by HOLY SPIRIT. In a nutshell, He lived the life you and I have not lived! He lived it for us!

So, the next time you think waiting is hard and unfair — think of Yeshua. He knows! And He knows how to get you through it.
16 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. 17 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonementh for the sins of the people. 18 Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2 BSB

Tuesday’s Happenings

Leave a comment

I thought you might find this interesting. 
As I sit gathering this information for posting, it is Monday. 
Today, around 2,000 years ago, YESHUA cleansed the temple on the Monday after He entered into Jerusalem on what we call Palm Sunday. 

He entered the Temple late Sunday afternoon/evening. Mark 11:11 tells us He went into the temple, looked around, and as the hour was late, He went out to Bethany for the night. 
The next day, Monday, He overturned some tables and upset some People. 

That brings us to today, Tuesday.
Today, He will tell some parables, and some controversy will arise.
You may read about Tuesday’s happenings at
Matthew 21:23 – 24:51.
Mark 11:27 – 13:37. 
Luke 20:1-21:36.

John is quiet on the subject. 

I hope this is helpful to you, and as you read the Scripture, I hope HOLY SPIRIT will make these passages of Scripture come alive for you, and that your love for JESUS will grow immensely. 

Holy hugs, Kathie
