John answered and said to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Luke 3:16
Wouldn’t it be great if all Christians had the same attitude and understanding as John the Baptist? He understood that his ministry was to glorify Jesus, he understood that his works cant even compare to The Lords. John understood he couldn’t give you anything compared to what Christ could give you!
Johns mission was not to build a mega church or sign a book deal, Johns mission was to get people to repent of their sins and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. So what did Jesus think of Johns ministry? He called him the greatest of all prophets (Matthew 11:11)
But notice once you receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. To become Born Again (John 3:3) you need the Holy Spirit , without the Breath of Life of the Spirit, your just Dry Bones, dead in your sins
His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Luke 3:17
Jesus is separating the Wheat from the chaff, notice the destination for the chaff, unquenchable fire. So much for the liberal theology that hell doesn’t exist. Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior yet? Have you been Born Again, baptized by the Holy Spirit? Prepare the way for the Lord and receive him in your heart today Amen!
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11
What is The Gospel? Gospel means “Good News”, so what is the Good News? As the Angel declared, the Good News is Jesus Christ has come to save us from our sins. There is no greater news than this, as God has become a man to take our place and die for our sins, so we may inherit eternal life.
We always hear people say , preach the gospel! So what does that mean to preach the gospel? It means to declare that Jesus Christ has come to deliver us from sin and death. Once you understand and accept this, we should be shouting it from the rooftops!
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” Luke 2:13-14
This is a moment when the Heavens declared and celebrated the Glory of God! Multitude of Angels singing for the birth of The Messiah. What do they know , that we don’t know? LOTS , we only see things from the earthly perspective, they see the eternal and they know the victory is ours through Jesus Christ! Amen!
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/ecc.3.1.NASB
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.” Luke 1:32-33
What hope do we have for this world? As we look around its hard to find anything positive to talk about, everyone is at war with each other over politics, social issues, religion, money ect. We take a look around the globe and nation is feuding with nation. Diseases and illnesses are wide spread, as most people are suffering on a daily basis from something
But there is hope from God, his name is Jesus Christ. He is the only hope for humanity. If you reject this hope, there is nothing left for you. If you reject Christ, what are you putting your hope into?
Think about this, God loved you enough to become a man and die for your sins. Why would the Creator of the universe do this is beyond our comprehension? We don’t deserve it, but God demonstrated his love for us.
She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
How do we comprehend this? God becoming a man to save us from our sins! Seek and you will find him, knock and the door will be opened! (Matthew 7) Salvation only comes from God and nothing else, turn to Jesus and let him set you free from sin and death!
If your feeling lost and ready to be saved say this prayer:
Heavenly Father, I confess my sins, I accept and receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, have mercy upon me, pour your Holy Spirit upon me and make me new again in Jesus Name Amen!
Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.
Proverbs 30:6 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.30.6.NASB
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you– unless indeed you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5
Many people believe when they become “saved” or a “Christian” they are once and done. They say the “Sinners Prayer” and they got the golden ticket to Heaven. However this is not what being “Born Again” is all about, it’s a daily walk with God a daily reflection on our lives
Just as you go to the doctors to get a exam, we also need to examine ourselves spiritually. Where are you at with your relationship with Christ? Do you have any unrepented sin in your life? Are you producing any fruit for the Kingdom?
But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test. Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear unapproved. 2 Corinthians 13:6-7
Were all going to make mistakes and slip up sometimes. Anyone who says they don’t sin is a liar (1 John 1:8) However we repent and put our daily trust in Jesus Christ for salvation. I heard it said before “Our works don’t produce our salvation, however the salivation of Christ produces works in us”
But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 1 Corinthians 11:28
As Paul was teaching about communion, we should examine ourselves daily. Communion (Lords Supper) it’s a great time to examine yourself and your relationship with Jesus. The Law of God is like a mirror for us to examine ourselves, test yourself in Jesus name Amen!
I took a walk down the Boardwalk of Brokenness… I see females dressed like prostitutes…I see males act like caged animals… I see debauchery, drunkenness, sexual immorality, profanity, and greed every corner I walked.
But just to the side of me is Gods creation, a vast ocean of awe that not even the most intellect can grasp its creation. Yet the godless and mockers will stand and gaze at it, in awe and wonder, yet give no credit or glory to its creator. Where do they believe such awesomeness and power comes from?
On that dark Boardwalk was a light, it was a little Church right in the middle of the chaos. And while thousands of people walking by were full of sin and alcohol, there was a few that were filled with the Holy Spirit singing “It Is Well With My Soul”
Darkness will always be everywhere, but the light will always be noticeable. No matter where you are, be that Light of The World, that darkness cant snuff out. They can mock, they can laugh, but they cant take your living soul
There will be a day, when the mockery and laughter of the world will turn into weeping and gnashing of teeth. But It Is Well With Our Souls because Jesus Christ made the Way! Amen!
As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man.
Proverbs 27:19 NASB

Unashamed of Jesus
