Satisfaction

2 Comments

Hebrews 12:2 King James Version

For the joy that was set before Him — 
Do you see it? 
It was foretold in Isaiah and confirmed again and again; like here in Hebrews. 

That joy, that satisfaction was procuring our salvation.

Snow

2 Comments

Snow.
I am giving thanks for snow today; not that I see much of it here in L.A. 

But all the same, snow. 

At this time of year and in certain movies snow is honored and nearly worshipped.
It seems to make all things alright.
It seems to be the thing that makes the season of Christmas, Christmas in the movies. 
The final touch, we might say.

If only people would let snow speak to them. 

Snow.
Made of exquisite individual flakes. 
I have a link for you and I hope you will read it.
The Science of individual snowflakes is cause for awe of GOD our Creator. 

How do snowflakes form? Get the science behind snow

Would you please consider this with me? 
Snowflakes.
Individual.
Unique.
Yet each and every one of them is a six-sided snowflake. No two alike but all with the same makeup. 
Sound familiar? 
Humans. No two alike but all with the same makeup. 

At the center of each snowflake, as white and bright as they are, is a tiny particular of pollen or dust. 
The very center of the snowflake is not white at all. 

Neither are we at our centers, White.
We are dark and desperately need the WHITE (Righteousness) of JESUS CHRIST to make us fresh and new.
Shall we say like freshly created, untouched snow, glistening and bright?

O to be that! Untouched by sin. Clean, white as dazzling snow, and bright. 
We can be; we are IF we are IN CHRIST JESUS. 

 
Snow. 
I hope going forward when you are privileged to see snow you will remember what you have read here today and that you will be sure you have given that dust particular at the very core of you to JESUS and if not, that the very next time HE offers to make YOU whiter than SNOW that you immediately respond: YES!

The A and The Z

Leave a comment

My first inkling of this post was First and Last, but I think that will not do as I’m not certain it was the first and I cannot be absolutely certain it will be the last. What am I talking about?
This.

I found it this morning. 

These lilies have been sparse this year.  So, to find one in mid-November is a treat for me. One I sincerely appreciate. 
I’m giving thanks. 

Yet, I’d be remiss if I did not speak of the true and certain First and The Last, now wouldn’t I?

And perhaps you think I will go straight to Revelation. I thought that too but a word search took me to other addresses.

Would you believe Isaiah?

Isaiah 48:12 New Living Translation  12 “Listen to me, O family of Jacob,  Israel my chosen one! I alone am God, the First and the Last.  source

Any questions?  Like who is this First and Last?
As is always a safe and accurate guideline: Let Scripture interpret Scripture. 

The One and Only Yeshua HaMashiach. Perhaps you call Him Jesus the Christ.

Only Jesus

Hi, Y’all.

Isaiah 53.

I hope you will read the Passage – all of it. 

But for this posting let me direct you to verse 9.

9 He was given a grave among the wicked; in his death he was with a rich man.  Although he had done no violence and had said nothing deceptive,   source

Although He had done no violence – we expect that, right? And we expect the next too but think deeply when you read it: and had said NOTHING deceptive. 
Nothing.
Not a word.
Not a phrase.
Not a clause.
Not a sentence of anything but the TRUTH did He speak for 33 1/2 years. 
Make that forever.
Because He is STILL telling us the truth. He is still never deceiving us. 

And you can say that of NO other person in ALL of Eternity – only JESUS, only The Triune GOD – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
