Sharing Scripture (2)

[Ariel]

Jesus said..."I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

 

[CindyisHis]

Luke 22:24 And there arose also a dispute among them as to which one of them was regarded to be greatest.

25 And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who have authority over them are called 'Benefactors.'

26 But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves."

Having just celebrated the seder meal, it is appalling to think the disciples would have had this discussion at this time, particularly just after Jesus had broken the bread with them, telling them it is His body given for them, and pouring the wine, telling them it is His blood poured out for them. And they're worried about who would be the greatest?

Oh, help me Lord, to not be so dense, knowing full well I, at times, am just as they were, doing the same self-willed things. Free us of all pride. We repent, Lord, we repent of all pride.

Shalom.

Isaiah 61:1-4
For the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

 

[CindyisHis]

Luke 22:44 And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

45 When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,
46 and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

[CindyisHis]

Philippians 2:9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

Romans 6:5-7

If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

 

[CindyisHis]

1 Samuel 14:6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few.”


The army of the Philistines had way outnumbered that of Isreal, but Jonathan had gotten hold of a great revelation - nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few.

Whether our resources are great or small, it matters not. What matters is the Lord is on our side.

 

[fieldlily]

Acts 3:19-21 - Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Ephesians 2:12
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

 

[blankgirl]

Psalms 1: o the joys of those who delight in the Lord. they do not stand with sinners, or join in with scoffers, they meditate on His law day and night

 

[colormebeautiful]

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Ephesians 2:22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

 

[Ariel]

"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
And to present you faultless
Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
To God our Savior,
Who alone is wise,
Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and power,
Both now and forever.
Amen."

Jude 24-25​
