SO
Sunday, July 3rd, 2011So I will always remind you of these things,
even though you know them and are firmly
established in the truth you now have.
I think it is right to refresh your memory as long
as I live in the tent of this body, because I know
that I will soon put it aside,
as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
And I will make every effort to see that after
my departure you will always be able
to remember these things.
(II. Peter 1.12-15).

CHRIST’S SACRIFICE ONCE FOR ALL
Friday, April 22nd, 2011The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming- not the
realities themselves.
For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly
year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
If it could, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshippers
would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty
for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins, because it
is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for Me;
with burnt offerings and sin offerings
You were not pleased.
Then I said,’Here I am- it is
written about Me in the scroll-
I have come to do Your will,
O God.’”
First He said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You
did not desire, nor were You pleased with them” (although the law required
them to be made). Then He said, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.”
He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been
made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(Hebrews 10.1-10).

BODY
Sunday, March 13th, 2011Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
(I. Corinthians 12.27).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
UNIT
Sunday, March 13th, 2011The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though
all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.
For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-whether Jews
or Greeks, slave or free- and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
(I. Corinthians 12. 12&13).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
SOME MAY ASK
Monday, November 29th, 2010But someone may ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body
will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless
it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a
seed, perhaps of wheat or something else. But God gives it a body as He
has determined, and to each kind of seed He gives its own body. All flesh
is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animal have another, birds
another and fish another. There are heavenly bodies and there are earthly
bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor
of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon
another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead.
The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown
in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
(I.Corinthians 15.35-44).

WHO HAS
Friday, October 15th, 2010Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord
been disclosed?
For the Servant of God grew up before Him like a tender plant, and like
a root out of dry ground: He has no form or comeliness, that we should
look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him.
He was despised and rejected and forsaken by men, a Man of sorrows
and pains, and acquainted with grief and sickness; and like One from
Whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate
His worth or have any esteem for Him.
Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses,weaknesses, and distresses)
and carried our sorrows and pains, yet we considered Him stricken and
afflicted by God.
But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our guilt
and iniquities; the chastisement needful to obtain peace and well-being for
us was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him we are healed and
made whole.
All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, yet when He was afflicted, He was submissive and opened
not His mouth; like a lamb, that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
By oppression and judgement He was taken away; and as for His generation,
who among them considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living
for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
And they assigned Him a grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in His
death, although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth.
(Isaiah 53.1-9).
When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named
Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.
He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus, and Pilate ordered
that it be given to him.
And Joseph took the body and rolled it up in a clean linen cloth used for
swathing dead bodies.
And laid it in his own fresh tomb, which he had hewn in the rock; and he
rolled a big boulder over the door of the tomb and went away.
(Matthew 27.57-60).
He was guilty of no sin, neither was deceit ever found on His lips.
When He was reviled and insulted, He did not revile or insult in
return; when He was abused and suffered, He made no threats;
but He trusted Himself and everything to Him Who judges rightly.
He personally bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we might
die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.
For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have come back to the
Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
(I.Peter 2.22-25).

the love of Christ, which far
surpasses mere knowledge,
that you may be filled unto
