Show Us God

4 Replies

Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father ‘? John 14:9

Philip says to Jesus “Show us the Father” meaning “Show us God”! Jesus is amazed , Philip has been with him for over 3 years and he still doesn’t get it. Even after all the miracles Jesus performed, and all the references he made to past revelations of God such as , Great I AM, Living Water, Bread of Life, these guys still are not getting it!

Even today , many Christians are still not getting it. Even after all the Revelation we have about Jesus, after all the prophecies Jesus fulfilled, after all the power Jesus has displayed, many just don’t understand his deity.

If you want to see God, Look at Jesus! If you want to know the will of God, Look at Jesus!

 

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. Colossians 1:15

Paul also describes Jesus as the image of the Invisible God! But what does Paul mean by “Firstborn of all Creation”? Is Paul saying Jesus was created by God? No, Paul is referring to the Resurrection of Christ! Because Jesus has defeated death and was resurrected on the 3rd day, he is the first fruits, the first born of all Creation!

Because of Christ we can live eternally with God, because of Christ we can now see God and have a relationship with Him Amen!

False Religion

6 Replies

The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule on their own authority; And My people love it so! But what will you do at the end of it? Jeremiah 5:31

People love their religion, sometimes they love their religion more than God. Problems that come with religion are humans. We love power, we love control, we love money, these are often the results of most religions. When people don’t get these results, their prophets make things up, their priests and pastors take up higher authority then they should. And as God says “My people love their religion”

But as God said, “What will you do in the End”? What will you do when your face to face with Jesus and have to explain your false religion? Unless you are building for Gods Kingdom, your kingdom is pointless! Jesus is our High Priest (Hebrews 4:14) Jesus is our ruling authority (Revelation 19:16) he overrules any false doctrine or false practice within your Church

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. Luke 9:23

If you want true religion, come to Jesus Christ. If you want true authority, deny yourself and submit to the Lord. If you want true prosperity, carry your Cross! This is the true gospel preached by Christ, not the false , self-centered gospel taught by the false religions.

Come to Jesus , Deny yourself , Carry your Cross and follow him to salvation! Amen!

The Way

2 Replies

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6

This scripture is probably the anthem for Christianity. Before Jesus ascends back to Heaven, he promised us that he is preparing a place for us. The disciple Thomas then asked , “Where are you Going?” Jesus made it very clear, he is The Way, and the only Way to God the Father and eternal life

Jesus is The Way, there is no other way to get to God, there is no other way to obtain salvation! Its very simple because he is the atonement for our sins, nobody else could take the penalty for our sins, except for Jesus Christ

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

Jesus is The Truth, Jesus is the Living Word of God. Everything that Christ has spoken and taught us is from God. While lies will mislead you, The Truth Jesus Christ will set you Free!

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

Jesus is The Life, its only through him we can obtain eternal life. We have all fallen short, we are all sinners and in need of a savior! Nobody can earn their salvation, only Christ could and did accomplish this at the cross.

All roads don’t lead to God, only one Way leads to God and eternal life, that’s Jesus Christ Amen!

Forgiven

“Why should I pardon you? Your sons have forsaken Me And sworn by those who are not gods. When I had fed them to the full, They committed adultery And trooped to the harlot’s house. Jeremiah 5:7

God was looking for forgive Israel , but couldn’t find anyone even willing to repent. They were worshiping false idols, committing adultery, they even lie to God telling him they are righteous.

God said “Why should I forgive any of you?” Although this may seem kind of harsh, it’s a good question, why should God forgive any of us? We continually rebel against him, yet we feel we deserve all his blessings. Nobody could blame God if we walked away from us

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16

However Gods love and mercy runs deep. Even though we didn’t deserve it, God pardoned us anyway. Jesus Christ came to this world to take the wages or penalty for Our Sins. The Love and Mercy that God has shown us on the cross, can’t be explained and it cant be earned. Our salvation was earned by the work of Jesus Christ, because we are not capable of saving ourselves

So Repent, give up your sinful ways, and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth , and the life, we cant get to the Father God except through him! Amen!

ginōskō

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:23

One of the scariest scriptures in the Bible for Christians, is this one. Jesus declaring “He never knew you” What does this mean for Christians? Can we lose our salvation?

The original Greek word for “Knew” is “ginosko” meaning “come to know” “understood” “recognize” “comprehend” “learn”

Jesus wants and requires a personal relationship with us. Many Christians “go through the religious motions” of being a good Christian, but do they know Christ and does Christ really know them. This is why I say “Jesus is a relationship and not a religion”  I know a lot of theologians don’t like that phrase, however its clearly true by the scripture

We know of way too many “Christians” who are trying to earn their salvation through works, rather then developing their personal relationship with Jesus. Many Christians seem to almost use Jesus as a sideshow for their religion, he should be the center of everything

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. (KJV) Matthew 1:25

Here in the KJV, the word ginosko is used in relation to Mary and Josephs relationship. At this time Mary, was a Virgin and not married to Joseph, therefor he didn’t really know her intimately  or personally at this time. This just demonstrates how deep the word of “ginosko” can get.

“Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Matthew 10:26

Here in the context of the scripture “ginosko” is being used in the opposite of concealed or hidden. Do you conceal or hide you are a Christian? Does the world know Jesus is your Lord and God? Jesus will reject those who does not know “ginosko”, make sure you have a relationship with Christ today!

Eternal Love

Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times. John 13:38

Most of us have good intentions just like Peter, we claim we will never deny Jesus, we claim we will always follow him, some of us might even claim we will lay down our lives for Christ. However when the time comes, our flesh kicks in and we fail again. We continually fail to meet the standards we spiritually set for ourselves

Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.” John 13:37

Peter didn’t understand what Jesus was about to do for the entire world, Jesus was about to lay down his life to save the world. Peter told Jesus he would be willing to lay down his own life for Christ. However when the time came, and Peters life became threatened, Peter not only denied Christ, he denied him 3 times!

Jesus already knew Peter would fail and deny him 3 times. This displays Jesus deity to know the future, because Jesus is God in the flesh, he is the beginning and the end

However Jesus still loved Peter anyway, no matter how much Peter failed to live up to expectations, Jesus still loved him. Does this mean we should blatantly deny Christ? Absolutely not, but don’t think that Gods love is so shallow that you cant return into his arms! Amen
