The Devotional - Various Scripture - Again I say, know the LORD


The Devotional

Jeremiah 31:34 – “No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

COMMENT:  Yes, you are right! I did say last week that the series of “knowing God” would end with that last devotional. But, what was I thinking? We could never know enough about our awesome and wonderful God, this side of eternity. Notice if you will, what we find when we continue to “search the scriptures". (This will be a future title of the devotional. "Search the Scriptures")

1 Timothy 2:1-6 – Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and the giving of thanks be made for all men. For kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life, in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable to God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. If we do not strive to know our God as He desires, how will we be able to pray in the manner expected of us?

So, until the time that the Prophet Jeremiah is speaking of we must continue a daily intake of the Holy Word of God, getting to know God the way He has commanded. What way is that you may ask? 1 Timothy 2:5-6 – For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, The Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. No one can know God or share the knowledge of God without first “knowing and accepting the Christ/Messiah” as He is “God our Savior”!

The things we write and say today, pale in the Light of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I believe that the apostle John nails this thought with these words in his gospel. John 21:25 – And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen! Now let me ask you! 

The Holy Bible is an “Autobiography” written by God through His prophets and apostles. The writer of Hebrews also adds; God in the last days has spoken to us through His Son, (Christ/Messiah) who He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds. So why would anyone write about themselves? So that those who read, will get to KNOW them.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 203 Luke 21:7   –   So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” Matthew 24:3 – Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be?

And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah Yesterday we looked briefly at the First coming of the LORD Jesus, born of the virgin Mary, suffered and crucified, killed by the power of sin of which we all had and have a part in. He rose from this death; He is alive again . The apostle Paul writes, “For I deliver to you first of all that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
