Incarnation to Resurrection
#RAD #ATEND G-d (Christ) #IIC714
Incarnation to Resurrection roughly three and one-half
years, in 12 weeks, Sunday through Friday (six days) per week
Day Eight of Eighty-four:
Today, we begin our second week’s journey into exploring the life and exploits of Jesus, from Incarnation to Resurrection in 12 weeks with the Thunder in the Desert, as John the Baptist Prepares the Way of Messiah. In both Matthew 3:17 and also Luke 3:7 we read of John the Baptist’s now infamous cry – “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” – after becoming aware that some Pharisees (modern day Pious or Orthodox Jews) were approaching as he was preaching of Messiah, and baptising people, because it (John’s Baptism) was becoming ‘the popular thing to do’.

In Matthew and
Luke we read of John the Baptist preaching of the soon coming Messiah, and the
promise of Messiah to Baptise followers (adherents / believer in Messiah) with
the Holy Ghost. And in Matthew, Mark and
also Luke, we of the other well known quote from John the Baptist - - “…who is mightier
than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie…” because “The main character
in this drama, to whom I’m a mere stagehand, will ignite the kingdom life, a
fire, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. He’s going
to clean house…”
Also at this time
we read of the “Baptism of Jesus”; “Jesus’s Baptism in the Holy Ghost”; The bold declaration that “Jesus is G-d’s Son”; “The Temptation of Jesus”, “The Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry” and the “Calling of the
First Disciples”. As we continue with today’s reading, progressing
our way through John, we read of Jesus Calling Philip and Nathanael, including Nathanael asking “Nazareth! Can
anything good come from there?”
This my friends,
is GOOD NEWS!

“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”
How does one get to “know” Jesus? Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelation 3:20 NIV]
How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything? Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:
“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]
And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]
If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters
from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you
can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John
14!
John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life.”
And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am
the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
me.”
Well that’s it, that’s Da Bauz’s Take on, “Incarnation
to Resurrection, Day Eight of Eighty-four” – this 14th day of January

Just sayin’...
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem...
