Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-13

(John 5:18 NKJV)  Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

Jesus and God are considered equal, the SAME; they are ONE!

This is the difference between heaven and hell, right here. If we can accept this truth, this is our way into Heaven. We have to believe that Jesus is who He says He is, the Son of God, and that they are equal. If we look at Jesus as being any less than God in the flesh, then we truly don’t understand.

(John 14:6 NKJV)  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. We cannot get to God unless we go through His Son, Jesus Christ.

We can live the life of doing all wonderful and good things for people but as hard as it is to swallow, we must know that this will not get us into Heaven.

If we are asking God for things but not going through His Son, He can not hear us. It is His Son that makes the way for communication between us and God. It is His blood, His pureness that can reach and touch the heart and ears of the Father.

This is very to the point and some may not understand at first because of all the different teachings and denominations out there.

If we take all we have been taught and surrender ourselves and our understanding to God, in the name of Jesus Christ His Son, His equal, He will bring understanding and wisdom to help us grasp such truth, regardless of what we might have been taught previously.

(1 John 5:12 NKJV)  He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Get life today, through the Son, Jesus Christ!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-9-13

(Hebrews 2:9 NKJV)  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

For many years I wondered about this verse and what was meant by the statement that Jesus “was made a little lower than the angels”.

Not only did I wonder about it, but it kind of bothered me because it didn’t seem to fit in with the fact that Jesus was there in the beginning and was the co-creator of the heavens, the earth and everything on the earth, including humans.

The way I saw this verse, it made it seem like Jesus was below the angels, which are simply created beings, used by God for service. Where was the deity of Christ in this verse?

I pondered on this for quite some time, wondering what it was really saying. And then one day it was like God removed the veil for me and showed me exactly what it meant. So I want to share that with you today.

God showed me that Jesus was, in fact, there in the beginning. He was the co-creator of all we see, including us. Remember that the Word says in Genesis “let us make man in our image”. This is clearly a plural statement, using “us” instead of me or my.

And the reason that Jesus was said to have been a little lower than the angels is because he chose to become lower than the angels, in human form, for a specific period of time while He walked here on the earth. He became flesh and bone so He could walk among us, experience everything that we feel and, ultimately, die for us.

This is truth. This is fact. This is the God we serve. He leaves nothing undone.

He is the Alpha, the Omega… the beginning and the end. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-5-13

(John 14:8-9 NKJV)  Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” {9} Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

These verses make me shake my head in awe.

Jesus was openly confessing to the disciples that He was God in the flesh. He was the human essence of God the Father.

The Father is spirit. We cannot see or behold Him. But He wanted to come to earth in bodily form to reach out to us, to make himself approachable to us and to “walk in our shoes”, so to speak.

Jesus coming to earth was God’s ultimate way of saying “I Love You”, even in dying for us on the cross.

Let’s not take this lightly. Read and re-read the verses above and let this get into your spirit. Jesus said “Have I been with you so long and yet you have not known me?”. He was answering as the Father… the supreme Lord of all.

How completely awesome is that?
