10. Peace, Be Still (Matthew 8:23-27)

One of the best known stories in the Gospels is that of Jesus’ calming the storm on the lake. Just from a simple reading of the few verses we would rightly conclude that the account demonstrates Jesus’ authority over the elements of nature, and, the disciples weak faith for being afraid. The story comes in a series of reports about Jesus’ authority in various areas—sickness, demons, death, and sin. It provides another significant part to the portrayal of the King: He is not just a king over the people of Israel; rather, He is king over all nature as well.

23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

MAKE HEAVEN YOUR HOME

THIS IS NOT MY HOME. THIS EARTH IS TEMPORARY. MY HOME IS IN HEAVEN WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON JESUS.  I WILL REJOICE AND SING WHEN I MEET MY LORD AND SAVIOR IN THE AIR. HE PROVIDES US WITH HIS TENDER MERCY AND CARE.  JESUS SAID THOSE WHO ARE FREE ARE FREE INDEED. MY SOUL SAYS HALLELUJAH SALVATION IS FREE.  I WILL SEEK THE LORD CONTINUALLY AND I AM EXCEEDINGLY GLAD TO KNOW THAT THE FATHER AND SON AM ONE AM HE, THE WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, THE KING OF KINGS AND THE ALPHA AND OMEGA. MAY THE LORD MAKE YOU THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL,BLESSED AND NOT CURSED ,THE LENDER AND NOT THE BORROWER. 

John 14 English Standard Version (ESV)

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”[c] 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.[d] From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

ONE DAY I WILL MEET YOU IN OUR FATHERS HOUSE WHERE THERE ARE MANY MANSIONS.

HOW CAN WE BE BORN AGAIN PT 2

HOW ARE WE BORN AGAIN ASKED NICODEMUS PT 1

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN JESUS TOLD NICODEMUS

MAY YOU BELIEVE IN CHRIST -THE FIRST BORN SON OF GOD.  JESUS KNEW NO SIN. HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE SO THAT  WE MAY LIVE . WE CANNOT BE SAVED WITHOUT THE SON OF GOD.  THIS WORLD HAS CORRUPTION AND SIN.  GOD KNEW THAT WE NEEDED A SAVIOR. HE LOVED US SO MUCH THAT HE SENT HIS SON -JESUS CHRIST.  WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.  IN ORDER TO BE BORN AGAIN, WE MUST ACCEPT CHRIST JESUS.  THIS IS A NEW BIRTH AND SPIRITUAL REBIRTH. THIS IS FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT,CONTRASTED WITH PHYSICAL BIRTH. 3 Now there was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (member of the Sanhedrin) among the Jews, 2 who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, “Rabbi (Teacher), we know [without any doubt] that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs [these wonders, these attesting miracles] that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”

4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother’s womb a second time and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh [the physical is merely physical], and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be surprised that I have told you, ‘You must be born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
