Your Spiritual Condition Is More Important Than Your Physical Condition

Posted on by

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?  He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?  And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.  And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.  (John 9:35-38)

In John 9, Jesus heals a man who had been blind from birth (John 9:1).  He fixes his physical condition of blindness and that was a definite reason for rejoicing!  However, that wasn’t the man’s biggest problem.  Continue reading →

Our Great High Priest

Posted on by

Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Jesus Christ is the High Priest of every believer.  He left His throne in Heaven to come to this Earth to pay the price for our sin.  He is the One Who entered into the Holy of Holies with His own blood to propitiate the wrath of God.

Like the high priests of ancient Israel, Jesus Christ was among mankind when He ministered.  He felt pain, hunger, thirst.  He knew temptation, even by Satan himself!  Yet, He lived a perfect life without sin.  That is what made Him the perfect, spotless Lamb of God, Who could take away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

What Needy People Need

Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Jesus Christ completes every believer.  The Greek word translated “complete” means to be completely full, crammed, or fully satisfied.  In His grace, God gives us the Gift that keeps on giving.  No matter how “needy” we become, Jesus is all we need.

What Are You Looking For?

I was reading through the book of Revelation when I came across this verse.

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

After reading this, I had to pause for a moment and ask myself if I could honestly say the last five words and mean them.  “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”  I mean, I want Jesus to come back, but do I want Him to come back now?  This led me to another verse. Continue reading →

The Word Was God

Posted on by

John 1:1-3

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2 The same was in the beginning with God.  3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In John’s writings, he often refers to Jesus Christ as “the Word”.  Jesus is the living Word of God.  He is the only Person Who lived up to the standards of God’s Word while on the Earth.  When He spoke, people heard the Word of God.  For these reasons and more, Jesus is truly “the Word”.
