The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 716

Today’s Kick Start! – (NKJV) Psalm 23 1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

Personal Obedience—(NKJV) The Lamb of God is THE LORD who IS our Passover.

Acts 1 1The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up [ascended], after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs [cannot be ignored], being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

 

JESUS CHRIST: He IS the same Yesterday, He IS the same Today, He IS God Forever!

 

The days of the ministry of Messiah on the earth is nearing and end, in forty days Jesus will ascend into heaven—His home and as adopted children of God our future home too. At the end of these forty days the Holy Spirit will assume command of the economy of God on earth. The Church will carry on all the events that Jesus put in place while He was in His ministry on earth. Luke the writer of the book of Acts is also the writer of the gospel of Luke. He addressed both books to a friend—Theophilus.

 

One more thing about Luke and his writings of the Gospel according to Luke and the Book of Acts. Both are well written and well accepted by the early church, someone has said that the gospel of Luke is; "The gospel according to St. Luke has been called the loveliest book in the world. It would not be far wrong to say that the third gospel [Luke] is the best life of Christ ever written”. So we could understand that the Book of Acts is best and loveliest description of the acts of the Holy Spirit ever written.

 

I feel a heaviness of heart about this in that the church today seems to be ignorant of this in that we are much like the church of Laodica in the 3rd chapter of the book of Revelation 3 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. The Messiah is long suffering, Yet Jesus still through the Holy Spirit reaches out—Revelation 3 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

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 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
