The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 138

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:  Luke 11:33-36
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.  “The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.  “Therefore, take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.  “If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES: Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah
If you have visited ‘Sight and Sound’ theaters in Pennsylvania or Missouri, then you have also witnessed plays that reveal the battle of darkness and light. One such play that I have in mind is the Creation of Adam and Eve. When they fell from the grace of God and sinned by eating from the tree of the ‘knowledge of good and evil. When they took of the fruit and sinned, IMMEDIATELY the Light of the grace of God dimmed to the darkness of the deception of Satan.

There is no way for anyone to escape this world of darkness apart from the grace of God. He alone has provided the path to return to Him. The path is the walk that Jesus took for ALL – Tribes, Tongues and Nations! Golgotha’s hill, the beatings, the cross, the death, but Oh what wonderful grace and victory, He Messiah, is Risen! So, let your LIGHT of this Truth penetrate the darkness of the world around you.

Then He said to them; “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ/Messiah to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, “and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. “And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:46-49.

Thus, we need to be diligent with our human ‘eye’! What we see in the day or night, reveals to the world – who we are! If you are sometimes light and sometimes darkness, you are no different than the world around you. Being a child of God the Father is to walk in the Light, Spirituality is an absolute, this ‘power from on high is not variable. Therefore, take heed to the light which is in you, that it is not a mixed signal to the lost souls around you.

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 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
