Brothers Keeper

3 Replies

And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? Genesis 4:9

After Cain killed his own brother, God asked him where Abel was? His response was “Am I my brothers keeper”? This brings up a good question, are we to take care of one another? Or is it like the world says “Every man for themselves”?

Well obviously, Cain was evil, his sin and his jealousy for his brother had grown so much inside him that it overtook him. This is why Jesus said “Anyone who has hate in their heart for someone, has already committed murder in their heart” ( Matthew 5:21-22) This may sound extreme, but Jesus was making a really good point.

Cains jealousy over Abel kept growing in his heart, over time his hatred overtook him and he physically killed Abel. God warned Cain, that “Sin was crouching at his door”. (Genesis 4:7) This sin overtook Cain and he committed an unthinkable act. Jesus point is, if you control the emotions in your heart, you can control your actions later

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mark 12:31

Back to the question at hand, are we our “Brothers Keeper”? Well Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourselves, so Yes! We should love God and love our Neighbor, this is the fulfillment of the entire law

Love your neighbor and don’t allow your heart to be filled with evil. Sin might be crouching at your door also if you ignore Jesus teachings Amen!

Your own god?

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:5

Satan’s lie that he has been spreading since the beginning, is we can be our own god. We can do whatever we want , with no consequences. We can ignore the Creator , and make up delusions that we are in control and have no accountability

We see this same lie still being spread today. Many want to say there is No Moral Law its all in our mind, they want to say we are just “molecules in motion” not made by God for a purpose, some even want to say there is no reality and we live in a matrix. Many will go to extremes to deny the true God so they can be their own god

Satan declared this when he said “ I will ascend above the top of the clouds, I will make myself like the Most High (Isaiah 14:14) Satans agenda was always to make himself like God, and has been selling this lie since the beginning

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3:6

Adam and Eve fell for this lie, they wanted to be like God and decided to partake in the forbidden fruit. This has been the battle humanity continues to face, obey God or obey your flesh. Sin entered the world through Adam, but salvation came through Jesus Christ!

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Job 38:4

Job had a conversation with God and he asked him “Where were you when I created the world”? Basically God was bringing Job back down to reality that Gods power and wisdom is beyond our human comprehension

Don’t fall for the lie that you can be your own god, there is only one God, and only one way to salvation Jesus Christ! Amen!

Never Alone

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Genesis 2:18

When we think about it, Adam had everything! Adam was born perfect and immortal, until he sinned. He ruled the world, had dominion over all the animals including naming them all. He walked in the garden personally with God. However there was something Adam still lacked, he was alone.

God said it wasn’t good for Adam to be alone, so he created Eve to be his partner. The point is we were not designed to live alone. Even the most anti social of us need human interaction. Medically and Psychological evidence prove that we suffer without human interaction of other people

This is one of the many reasons I believe Jesus created the Church. The body of Christ is not a new religion or country club, the Church is a living breathing body of believers that are designed to be there for one another!

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

Notice how God intertwines marriage, the Church, and Himself. Husbands love your wife as Christ loved the Church. How did Christ love the Church? He died for the Church, He rose for the Church, He lives within the Church.

Christianity is really all about relationships, relationship with God, relationship with your spouse, relationship with your neighbors. Don’t stay alone, commune with others in Jesus name Amen!

Image of God

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26

At the beginning of the universe, there was not just the Father, there was not just the Son, but all three at work in the creation of all things. As God said “Let US Make” it’s the plural form in Hebrew. Evidence from the very beginning that God is not singular but Triune in nature

This also shows us the value God has put on human life. God not only made us in His image, but made us rule over everything in the world. When people have a lack of regard for human life, they have a lack of regard for God himself.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27

Humanity in their arrogance continues to believe they are evolving in intelligence and understanding , when in todays society we cant even decipher whether someone is male or female.  God created us male and female, this is a medical biological fact. To deny your gender is to deny God. The greatest law is to Love God with all your mind, heart, and soul. How can you love your Creator when you hate what he created?

We are made in the image of God, an image we should hold sacred and make our Heavenly Father proud

Wedding At Cana

6 Replies

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. John 2:1-2

As we reflect on this New Year, God had me reflect on the Wedding at Cana. At first glance of this story, it almost seems out of place. Why would Jesus and his disciples be wasting their time at a wedding? However when you study the powerful symbolism of this event, Jesus is foretelling many things including his atonement and Gods Kingdom

First thing notice Jewish weddings during this time period lasted a week. Notice on which day Jesus turned the water into Wine. The third day, the symbolic day of his resurrection!

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. John 2:4

Jesus reveals here that this is the beginning of his ministry. This will be the first miracle Christ performs. The interesting thing here is almost the entire gospel of John is related to the deity of Jesus, but here we see a human side. Mother Mary encouraging her Son

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. John 2:5

Mary instructs the servants at the wedding to do whatever Jesus tells them. A foreshadow of his power and authority as Christ. A foreshadow of our role as Christians as servants of Christ

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. John 2:6

Notice the six waterpots of stone used here by Jesus, these were not just any pots. These jars were made of stone designed specifically to keep the purity of the water used in ceremonies. The hidden meaning here is Jesus is transforming us from water into wine, and by his blood we are kept pure from sin

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. John 2:11

So why did Jesus perform his first miracle at a wedding? The Bible tells us that when Christ returns it will be like a wedding feast. The Church (US) are called the bride of Christ and Jesus is the groom (Revelation 19 and 21)

Here at the Wedding of Cana, we see the transformation of ourselves from Water into Wine. We see the purification of us by his blood in the wine. We see this victory happening on the 3rd day of his resurrection. We see this happening at the Great Wedding Feast when Christ will return to receive his Church, Amen!
