Da Bauz's Take: Incarnation to Resurrection, Day Forty-eight

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 Forty-eight of Eighty-four:

Even with the many, many miracles in Jesus’ Earthly Ministry, even with first-hand, eye witnesses being readily available, many folk still rejected Jesus - “Messiah rejected in Samaria” Luke 9:51 - 56. Jesus said - “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Luke 9:57 - 62, verse 58 ESV The colourful phraseology in the Message is intriguing - “Jesus was curt: ‘Are you ready to rough it? We’re not staying in the best inns, you know’.” Do the simple Words of Jesus found in Luke 9:58, ESV, mean Jesus (G-d… The G-d of all creation) was homeless? Do those simple Words mean, or even imply, that - Jesus puts His face firmly against modern day ‘Prosperity Gospel Teachers’? I, for one, am not convinced of that.

Continuing, we read a stern warning from Jesus, in Matthew 18:7 - 9 & Mark 9:42 - 49, about the world’s lust for catering to the ongoing temptations to sin.

And once more, as alluded to yesterday, from Luke 9:49 & 50, we read of Jesus Words exhorting His followers, you, (I hope) and me, to basically relax, because - “Anyone Not Against Us Is for Us”, verse 40.

Once again, that… that too right there ^ ^ ^ that, my friends, is… GOOD NEWS!

We’ll leave reading the rest of the text for you individually.

I’ve taken the liberty of assembling a weekly chart of daily readings to cover the chronology

“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 Forty-eight of Eighty-four” – this 23^rd day of February 2018 © 2018, All Rights Reserved. wr (Da Bauz, Christian Zionist “creationist” too!)

Just sayin’...
