| Reenactment of Jesus and His Disciples Richland Nazarene Church |
When the men came to Him, they
said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, 'Are You the Expected
One, or do we look for someone else?'" At that very time He cured many
people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many
who were blind. And He answered and said to them, "Go and report to John
what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE
THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. Luke
7:20-22 NASB
This was
predicted in the Old Testament.
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon
me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He
has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And
freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD And the day of
vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To grant those who mourn in
Zion, Giving them a garland instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of
mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be
called oaks of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be
glorified. Isaiah
61:1-3. NASB
Jesus was
who He said He was…the I AM of the Old Testament, incarnate God in human flesh—living
out the Old Testament promises, fulfilled in the New Testament writings. Jesus
said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one can comes
to the Father but through Me." John 14:6. Do you believe that? Do
you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? That He is God? If not,
search the scriptures again, and pray as you do, that God will reveal the truth
to you.
Jesus
also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole
world could not contain the books that would be written. John 21:25
Prayer
– Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the way, and the truth, and the life; no
one comes to the Father but through You. I claim this promise that You said,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can
come to the Father except through me. ...I tell you the truth, anyone
who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works,
because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name,
and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me
for anything in my name, and I will do it!" John 14:6, 12-14. Please continue to bless my
family and friends, guide them and help us all to make good decisions, moment
by moment, that we would be pleasing and bring glory and honor to You.
Meditate.
Consider the evidence of the Truth, the Way, and the Life in your life.
Verse
of Salvation ~ As for us, we can't help but thank God for you, dear brothers
and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be
among the first to experience salvation—a salvation that came through the
Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:13
