JESUS CHRIST, THE MESSIAH, IS RISEN  INDEED! HE IS ALIVE FOREVERMORE!

Resurrection Romans 6:3-5

3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

EASTER [Resurrection Sunday] IS NEVER OVER BECAUSE…

Jesus said

John 11:25 -26  “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die. Believest  thou this?”  2 Timothy 2:8-26

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel.

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13 If we believe not, yet he abideth [abides] faithful: he cannot deny himself.

14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth [pottery] ; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet [the perfect match] for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife.

24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure [perhaps] will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

PRAYER 21, Part 2 of 8

BOLDNESS AT THE THRONE OF GRACE

Now, Lord, we confess our guilt before Thee with tenderness of heart, and we pray Thee seal home [drive home] to every believer here that full and free, that perfect and irreversible charter of forgiveness which Thou gavest [gave] to all them that put their trust in Jesus Christ.

Lord! Thou hast [You have] said it:

“If we confess our sins, Thou art merciful and just to forgive us our sins and to save us from all unrighteousness.”

There is the sin confessed: there is the ransom accepted: we therefore know we have peace with God, and we bless that glorious one who hath come

“to finish transgression, to make an end of sin,”

to bring in everlasting righteousness, which righteousness by faith we take unto ourselves and Thou dost impute [give through substitutionary atonement] unto us.

Now, Lord, wilt Thou be pleased to cause all Thy children’s hearts to dance within them for joy? Oh! help Thy people to come to Jesus again today. May we be looking unto Him today as we did at the first. May we never take off our eyes from His Divine person, from His infinite merit, from His finished work, from His living power, or from the expectancy of His speedy coming to 

 “judge the world in righteousness and the people with His truth.” 

[We praise You for the remarkable gift of salvation and forgiveness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 305: Secret Prayer.

Mrs. Berry [a Tabernacle church member] used to say, “I would not be hired [bought] out of my [prayer] closet for a thousand worlds.” Mr. Jay [also a church member] said, “ If the twelve apostles were living near you, and you had access to them, if this intercourse drew you from the closet, they would prove a real injury to your souls [you pray for in secret].”

Prayer is the ship which bringeth [brings] home the richest freight. It is the soil which yields the most abundant harvest. Brother, when you rise in the morning your business so presses, [demands attention] that with a hurried word or two, down you go into the world, and at night, jaded and tired, you give God the fag end [burnt out end] of the day. The consequence is, that you have no communion with him.

[Lord, teach us to pray.]

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK June 1st   C.H. Spurgeon 1834 –1892

GOD’S PROMISE KEEPS [NEVER ENDS]

-Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt [shall] find it after many days- Ecclesiastes 11:1

-ECHA tu pan sobre las aguas; que despues de muchos dias lo hallarás- Eclesiastes 11:1

 

We must not expect to see an immediate reward for all the good we do; nor must we always confine our efforts to places and persons which seem likely to yield us a recompense for our labors. The Egyptian casts [throws] his seed upon the waters of the Nile, where it might seem a sheer waste of corn. But in due time the flood subsides, the rice or other grain sinks into the fertile mud, and rapidly a harvest is produced. Let us today do good to the unthankful and the evil. Let us teach the careless and the obstinate. Unlikely [unexpected] waters may cover hopeful soil.

Nowhere shall our labor be in vain in the Lord.

It is ours to cast our bread upon the waters [freely broadcast the good news of Jesus] ; it remains with God to fulfill the promise,

 -Thou shalt [shall] find it- 

 He will not let His promise fail. His good word which we have spoken shall live, shall be found, shall be found by us. Perhaps not just yet, but some day

we shall reap what we have sown.

We must exercise our patience; for perhaps the Lord may exercise it. 

 -After many days-, says the Scripture, and in many instances those days run into months and years, and yet the Word stands true.

God’s promise will keep; let us mind [take care] that we keep the precept [teaching], and keep [obey] it this day [today].

 

Prayer: Thank you, Lord Jesus, that God is always faithful to His word, and He helps us to plant seeds of faith everywhere, so that in due time we may find the blessed increase. I claim this promise in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for His sake, Amen.

MORNING June 1st   

"The evening and the morning were the first day." —Genesis 1:5

–Y fue la tarde [noche] y la mañana un [el primer] día —Génesis 1:5

 

WAS it so even in the beginning? Did light and darkness divide the realm of time in the first day?

Then little wonder if I also have changes in my circumstances from the sunshine of prosperity to the midnight of adversity. It will not always be the blaze of noon in concerns of my soul ; I must expect at seasons to mourn the absence of my former joys, and seek my Beloved in the night.

Nor am I alone in this, for all the Lord's beloved ones have had to sing the mingled song of judgment and of mercy, of trial and deliverance, of mourning and of delight. It is one of the arrangements of Divine providence that day and night will not cease either in the spiritual or natural creation until we reach the land of which it is written,

"there is no night [darkness] there."

What our heavenly Father ordains is wise and good.

What, then, my soul, is it best for you to do? Learn first to be content with this divine order, and

be willing, with Job, to receive evil from the hand of the Lord as well as good.

Study next, to make the outgoings of the morning and the evening to rejoice. Praise the Lord for the sun of joy when it rises, and for the gloom of evening as it falls.

There is beauty both in sunrise and sunset, sing of it, and glorify the Lord.

Like the nightingale, pour forth your notes at all hours. Believe that the night is as useful as the day. The dews of grace fall heavily in the night of sorrow. The stars of promise shine forth gloriously amid the darkness of grief. Continue your service under all changes. If in the day your watchword be labor, at night exchange it for watch. Every hour has its duty, so continue in your calling as the Lord's servant until He suddenly appears in His glory. My soul, your evening of old age and death is drawing near, dread it not, for it is part of the day; and the Lord has said,

"I will cover him all the day long."

EVENING June 1st   

"He will make her wilderness like Eden. " —Isaiah 51:3

—Tornará su desierto como paraíso —Isaías 51:3

 

ENVISION with me a howling wilderness, a great and terrible desert, like to the Sahara. I perceive nothing in it to relieve the eye, all around I am wearied with a vision of hot and arid sand, strewn with ten thousand bleaching skeletons of wretched men who have expired in anguish, having lost their way in the pitiless waste. What an appalling sight! How horrible! A sea of sand without a bound, and without an oasis, a cheerless graveyard for a race forlorn [abandoned]!

        But behold and wonder! Upon a [All of a] sudden, up springing from the scorching sand I see a plant of renown, and as it grows it buds, the bud expands—it is a rose, and at its side a lily bows its modest head. Miracle of miracles, as the fragrance of those flowers is diffused, the wilderness is transformed into a fruitful field, and all around it blossoms exceedingly. The glory of Lebanon is given unto it: the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. 

 

Call it not Sahara, call it Paradise.

 

Speak not of it any longer as the valley of the shadow of death, for where the skeletons lay bleaching in the sun, behold a resurrection is proclaimed, and up spring the dead, a mighty army, full of life immortal.

Jesus is that plant of renown, and His presence makes all things new. Nor is the wonder less in each individual's salvation.

 

Yonder [over there] I behold you, dear reader, cast out, an infant, un-swathed [without a blanket], unwashed, defiled with your own blood, left to be food for beasts of prey. 

 

But a jewel [a compassionate heart of flesh] has been thrown into your bosom by a divine hand, and for its sake you have been pitied and tended [cared for] by divine providence; you are washed and cleansed from your defilement; you are adopted into heaven's family; the fair seal of love is on your forehead, and the ring of faithfulness is on your hand

 

—you are now a prince unto God, though once an orphan, cast away.

 

Exceedingly prize [esteem] the matchless power and grace that changes deserts into gardens, and makes the barren heart to sing for joy. 

 

A SINNER’S  PRAYER 

 

Whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus, like this. Won’t you? 

“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless to save myself. Without you and your blood that was shed for me and Your death on the cross  I would spend eternity in Hell’s fire.

Thank you Lord Jesus that You love me and died for me before I was born and that You have always loved me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father but by You.  

Thank you, Father that You have caused for me to see myself as I am; a lost sinner.  But,  because of Your love and goodness, You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in You, Lord Jesus.  You took my place on the cross and provided the way for  me to be forgiven. Thank You.
Thank You that You prompted a desire in me to believe in You, the only begotten  Son of God who died on the cross to be the sacrifice that would  atone for my sins.

Thank You, Father for Your love that allowed Jesus to suffer and die in my place. Thank You that You raised Jesus from the dead. He is RISEN and is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus I am free. You raised Jesus from the dead, gave Him a Glorified body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You  in heaven.  Thank you, Father,  for saving me in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Romans 6:11  Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you always give witness to and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ. 
John 16:8-11With all my heart, thank you Lord for saving me.
Live Your life in me,  Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray, Amen.

Who was (is) Charles Haddon Spurgeon

*A.D. did not and does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously now think. It actually abbreviates  Anno Domini,  a  Latin phrase adopted into English that literally means  “Year of our Lord”.  It has been used together with B.C. Before Christ   for centuries.

 

B.C.E  is not a synonym for B.C. (Before Christ)]  It is not the same thing. Not even close.

 

B.C.E. / C.E  or   B.C. /A.D.  What’s the difference?     

 

B.C.E. (BEFORE COMMON ERA [or  BEFORE CURRENT ERA] ― Anything to avoid all reference or mention of anything CHRISTIAN by atheist and anti-Christians and to remove A.D. [Anno Domini] and  B.C. [Before Christ] from being used.

 

This argument, claims to have a neutral point of view to remove the reference to Jesus Christ by omitting the use of A.D Ano Domini and B.C. Before Christ This argument brings forward a faulty and egregious hypothesis.  Without consideration of a person’s religious views analysis of the hypothesis of a neutral point of view (NPOV) must be made.

 

What is A NEUTRAL point of view?  Such a fool’s errand would argue that a point of view could set forth a valid, genuine, authentic and simultaneously  be neutral. What?  This defies logic. A neutral point of view, were it possible, is no point of view at all. Rather, it’s  illogical and by applying simple common sense, impossible.  Anytime a point of view is combined, confused or blended with another one so that the properties are clouded, weakened or confused the actual definite and certain POV is lost and any rational adherence or support for it is now moot.   A Neutral point of view exists only in  the imagination of those who prefer confusion to a true, authentic, genuine, robust and proven point of a verifiable fact.

 

A neutral point of view, were it possible, would be, at best,  illogical, unattainable,  indefensible and irresponsible. The king of oxymorons.

 

Therefore, the mere consideration of an imagined but impossible and unattainable neutral point of view (NPOV) is ludicrous.  A point of view cannot be NEUTRAL. An authentic point of view cannot be neutral, or ambiguous, but must clearly advance a singular, definite and certain  point of view (POV).  It cannot be both a  POV and neutral.   A neutral point of view is a logical impossibility.  A neutral (POV), were it possible, would ignore the historical fact of Jesus Christ’s birth. The pretense of seeking a neutral point of view  is therefore misleading and  disingenuous.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh,
was born of a virgin  2025 years ago.                       
He’s  alive  today, has always existed as God’s eternal and everlasting Word, 
and will soon return for his bride, the Church
[The body of all redeemed believers in Jesus Christ].
 

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory.

1 Timothy  3:16  

 

Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:22

 

You are invited to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior and Lord and to follow Him in believer’s baptism.
