Incarnation to Resurrection
Incarnation to Resurrection roughly three and one-half
years, in 12 weeks, Sunday through Friday (six days) per week
Day Twenty-six of Eighty-four:
There are some deeply profound truths,
perhaps truths that many of us overlook, found in the reading for today. To
begin, we’ll review “The Sign of Jonah” as we contemplate how this proclamation by Jesus
both supports, and even enforces, not only ‘His story’ and who He is, but also
reinforces ‘history’ and TaNaKh’s[1] (the Old Testament’s) the story
of Jonah. And we’ll cover how “A Tree Is Known by
Its Fruit.” See also the January 19th and January 26th posts which also refer to the May 2012 Blog, “KNOW THEM BY...” for some additional thoughts on today’s text, on how
“A Tree Is Known by
Its Fruit.”
As we wrap up the text from Matthew today, we’ll explore an interesting message about “doing a job only part way, and the risks involved”, Matthew 12:43-45 see also Luke 11:24-26. Once more, today, we’ll read the condensed version of The Lord’s Prayer as previously noted on the 23rd of January & 26th of January, in Luke 11:2- 4. It is interesting today that we read of Jesus being accused of “casting out demons by Beelzebul, Black magic or some other devil” what Jesus says in response to these silly, really asinine, accusations. Jesus said: “…if by beelzebul I drive out demons, by whom do your sons drive them out? But if by the finger of GodI drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to you.” Luke 11:19 – 20, TLV Jesus very simply said – “If you’re not on my side, you’re the enemy; if you’re not helping, you’re making things worse.”, Luke 11:23, MSG

Finally, Jesus
declared – “If then your whole body is full of light, having no part
dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you
light.” – Luke 11:36,
ESV
And that, right
there ^ ^ ^ that, my friends, is
GOOD NEWS!
We’ll leave reading the rest of the text for you individually.

“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 Twenty-six of Eighty-four” – this 1st day of February
