The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

Jesus is the Good Shepherd, he came for us the lost sheep to bring us home! Because of everything Jesus provided us on the cross, we have no need to want anything  from this world. God has given us the greatest gift, eternal life through Christ

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. Psalm 23:2

Jesus is the Living Water, through him is peace and rest. Anyone living in turmoil, come to the living water and you will never thirst again and he shall give you rest

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Psalm 23:3

Jesus makes all things new, he restore and guides us to righteousness, The blind received sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised (Matthew 11:5) Through Christ we are made a new creature!

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Jesus will never leave or forsake us, Greater is he living inside of me than he that is living in the world (1 John 4:4) The Holy Spirit is called the Comforter by Jesus, who will always abide with you. As you walk through this evil world, God is always with you, inside of you by the Holy Spirit

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
Jesus has prepared a table, come and sit down with our Savior. We were all enemies to God due to our disobedience until we repented and accepted Christ. Oil is symbolic for the Holy Spirit, that we are filled with when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6

Jesus never promised an easy life but promised salvation in the end, what a promise that we can have peace and joy knowing we are redeemed! Jesus said “Gods House” has many rooms and he has prepared a place for us! We will dwell in the house of God forever through Christ!

“If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire. Matthew 18:8

Cut off your hand or foot! What is Jesus saying here? Often when Jesus spoke he got peoples attention. He knew how to make a point, so is Jesus instructing us to literally cut off our hands and feet? No of course not, its symbolic for cutting out our sin

Satan plants many stumbling blocks to trap us into sin, drugs, alcohol, pornography, greed, these are all stumbling blocks that cause us to lose our soul. Jesus is saying Cut Them Out! Cut out the temptations that are causing you to sin, for its better to live without the temporary pleasures of this world then spend an eternity condemned.

“If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better for you to enter life with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the fiery hell. Matthew 18:9

Jesus goes on to say the same thing, whatever sin is causing you to stumble, Cut it out! Its better to suffer in this temporary world than to lose your eternal salvation with God. But many people continue to “live like there is no tomorrow” but for Christians there is always a tomorrow, as death is not the end but just the beginning!

Don’t lose your soul for temporary pleasures, Cut them out in Jesus Name Amen!

Who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, Philippians 2:6

Jesus existed in the form of God, these are the words from the Apostle Paul inspired by The Holy Spirit. Here is a clear example of the teachings of how Jesus is God in the flesh. Its pretty clear what Paul is revealing to us, the more amazing thing is, even though Jesus was God in the flesh he denied himself to be a Suffering Servant and pay the ransom for our sins.

but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:7

Jesus emptied himself, meaning he denied all his power and authority , to become the sacrificial lamb. If people want to know why do I love Jesus so much, or talk about him so much, just read and understand what these scriptures are telling us. God loved you enough, to come down in human form, to save your life!

Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:8

Jesus had a mission, to bring truth and save our souls. Was it an easy mission? The mission was so impossible that only God himself could accomplish it. The agony of thinking about his obedient death on the cross, made him sweat blood, but Christ did it for us anyway!

For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, Philippians 2:9

There is no name above the name of Jesus! God in the flesh, who became the servant for you! Come to the cross and worship the name above all names Amen!
