CROWNED WITH GLORY
Saturday, October 8th, 2011It is not to angels that He has subjected the
world to come, about which we are speaking.
But there is a place where someone has testified:
“What is man that You are mindful of Him, the
son of man that You care for him?
You made him a little lower than the angels;
You crowned him with glory and honor
and put everything under his feet.”
In putting everything under him, God left
nothing that is not subject to him.
Yet at present we do not see everything
subject to him. But we see Jesus, Who was made
a little lower than the angels, now crowned
with glory and honor because He suffered death,
so that by the grace of God He might taste death
for everyone.
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that
God, for Whom and through Whom everything
exists, should make the author of their salvation
perfect through suffering. Both the One Who makes
men holy and those who are made holy are from
the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call
them brothers.
He says,
“I will declare Your name to My brothers.
In the presence of the congregation I will sing
Your praises.”
And again,
“I will put my trust in Him.”
And again He says,
“Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”
Since the children have flesh and blood,
He too shared in their humanity so that by
His death He might destroy him who holds
the power of death- that is, the devil-
and free those who all their lives were held in
slavery by their fear of death. For surely
it is not angels He helps, but Abraham’s descendants.
For this reason He had to be made like His brothers
in every way, in order that he might become a
merciful and faithful high priest in service to God,
and that He might make atonement for the sins of
the people. Because He Himself suffered when He was
tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
(Hebrews 2.5-18).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
THE MESSAGE
Saturday, October 8th, 2011To which of the angels did God ever say,
“Sit at My right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet”?
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent
to serve those who will inherit salvation?
We must pay more careful attention, therefore,
to what we have heard, so that we do not drift
away. For if the message spoken by angels was
binding, and every violation and disobedience
received its just punishment, how shall we escape
if we ignore such a great salvation?
This salvation, which was first announced by the
Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him.
God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various
miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed
according to His will.
(Hebrews 1.13-2.4).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
THE SON
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and
the exact representation of His being,
sustaining all things by His powerful word.
After He had provided purification for sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty
in heaven. So he became as much superior to
the angels as the name He has inherited is
superior to theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father”?
Or again,
“I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
And again, when God Brings His firstborn into
the world, He says,
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
In speaking of the angels He says,
“He makes His angels winds,
His servants flames of fire.”
But about the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for
ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the
scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and
hated wickedness;
therefore God, Your God, has
set You above Your companions
by anointing You with the oil of joy.”
(Hebrews 1.3-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
EXCELLENT
Monday, March 14th, 2011And now I will show you the most excellent way.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but
have not love, I am a resounding gong or a clanging
cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom
all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith
that can move mountains, but have not love, I am
nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender
my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always
protects, always trusts, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will
cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where
there is knowledge it will pass away. For we know in part
and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the
imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a
man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection
as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then
I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.
(I. Corinthians 12.31b-13.1-13).

and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, Your God has set You above Your
companions by anointing You with the oil of joy.
He also says,
“In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but you remain; they will wear out like a garment.
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed.
But You remain the same, and your years will never end.
To which of the angels did God ever say,
“Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies
a footstool for Your feet”?
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will
inherit salvation?

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Monday, October 12th, 2009LOVE DIVINE, ALL LOVES EXCELLING
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written: ” For Your sake we are killed
all day long; we are accounted as sheep for
the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than
conquerors through Him who loved us.
For I am persuaded that neither death
nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor
powers, nor things present nor things to come,
Nor height nor depth, nor any other created
thing, shall be able to separate us from the love
of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
( Romans 8.35-39).
PRAYER AND MEDITATION POINTS
Pray and meditate on the following:
1) The love of God is found fully expressed
and experienced in Christ Jesus or Lord.
2) Nothing can ever separate us from His love.
