Mat 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? Mat 21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. Mat 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? Mat 21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. Mat 21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
I was questioned when I came to earth. I am questioned still to this day. As you reason within yourself, I know your heart, and I do not condemn you. I came so that all men should know the Truth and that Truth would set them free.
Beloved, I invite you to sit at My feet and listen as Mary did. I invite you to lean upon My breast as John did. And I invite you to respond to Me, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God" as Peter did.
If you keep Me in a tomb, lifeless from all power and glory and honor today, you are hindering My works and the change that will come from within you that will set you free. When you see fruit come forth from you that will be visible on the outside, you will indeed realize that I have been answering you all along in a still, small voice.
Jas 3:18 "And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace." Make your peace in Me by being reconciled to your brother.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
Who is it, Lord, that I yet hold at arm's length estranged from Your love and mine? Grant me the meekness to dethrone myself so that Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen

About Me
- editor
- Statement Of Faith: 1.) I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error as originally given; it is the final and infallible authority in matters of faith and practice. 2.) I believe in the Trinity, one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.) I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose bodily and literally on the third day. 4.) I believe man is by nature lost and in need of a Savior. By repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior (by faith alone), we become right with God: our sins are forgiven, heaven is our home, and we will live with our Lord and other believers for ever. Good works may evidence our salvation, but we are saved by God's grace apart from our works. 5.) I believe that those who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated from God and experience His judgment forever. 6.) Jesus will one day return to to establish His Kingdom. He will judge the living and the dead.
