SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:  Luke 19-41-44
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.  “For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,  “and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah
We will return to Luke 12 after this week of sacrifice “Jesus is forsaken GOD is estranged from GOD!” Think about this in your soul. It is not enough to know the words of this wonderful hymn (HIS robes for mine) as we ought to let the truth of RIGHTEOUSNESS sink deep, deep where life matters! It seems that we readily cloth our bodies with the robes of this world which are the unrighteous deeds of fallen flesh. 

Plainly we are encouraged by the apostle Paul in Romans 13:11-14 – And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now, our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. the night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
 
If you do not know the events leading up to the sacrifice of God’s LAMB for the sin of the world, then God has a wonderful gift for you. God is willing to “visit” with you, just as He visited with His people in Jerusalem on that Sunday in April of AD 30. This visit to Jerusalem was the final opportunity for the nation to repent and accept the Messiah. 

Luke 19:38-40 – The crowd of people readily accepted the MAN riding on a donkey, but the religious men of the city refused to allow the crowd to crown this MAN as their Messiah. Jesus said to the Scribes and Pharisees “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” If you take the moment, please read Habakkuk 2 and you will see why the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes rejected their Messiah. “Coveting and Pride” is Satan’s tool to destroy. But greater is HE that is in God’s children that he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4 – You are of God, little children, and have overcome them because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

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 of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Mark 13:4 – “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 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
