and given a right standing with

God through faith, let us grasp

the fact that we have the peace

of reconciliation to hold and to

enjoy peace with God through

our Lord Jesus Christ.

Through Him also we have our

access by faith into God’s favor

in which we firmly and safely

stand.

And let us rejoice and exult in

our hope of experiencing and

enjoying the glory of God.

Moreover let us also be full of

joy now! Let us exult and triumph

in our troubles and rejoice in our

suffering, knowing that pressure

and hardship produce patient and

unswerving endurance.

And endurance develops maturity

of character. And character produces

joyful and confident hope of eternal

salvation.

Such hope never disappoints, for God’s

love has been poured out in our hearts

through the Holy Spirit Who has been

given to us.

(Romans 5.1-5).

Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went

to look at the tomb.

There was a violent earthquake, for an angel

of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to

the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes

were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him

that they shook  and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know

that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

He is not here; he has risen, just as He said.

Come and see the place where He lay.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples:

“He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you

into Galilee. There you will see Him.’ Now I have told you.”

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with

joy, and ran to tell His disciples.

Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” He said.

They came to Him, clasped His feet and worshiped Him.

Then Jesus said to them. “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers

to go to Galilee; there they will see Me.”

(Matthew 28.1-10).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living

hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade-

kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by

God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to

be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though

now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds

of trials. These have come so that your faith- of greater worth

than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire- may be

genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus

Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him;

and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and

are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving

the goal of your faith, the salvation of your  souls.

(I.Peter 1.3-9).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy-

to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority,

through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!

Amen.

continue in the teaching of Christ

does not have God.

Whoever continues in the teaching has

both the Father and the Son.

If anyone comes to you and

does not bring this teaching, do not

take him into your house or welcome him.

Anyone who welcomes him shares

in his wicked work.

I have much to write to you, but I do not want to

use paper and ink.

Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with

you face to face,

so that our joy may be complete.

The children of your chosen sister send their greetings.

(II. John 9-13)

about this, so he said to them,

“Are you asking one another what I

meant when I said, ‘In a little while

you will see Me no more, and then

after a little while you will see Me’?

I tell you the truth, you will weep

and mourn while the world rejoices.

You will grieve, but your grief will

turn to joy. A woman giving birth to

a child has pain because her time has

come; but when her baby is born

she forgets the anguish because of

her joy that a child is born into the

world. So with you: Now is your

time of grief, but I will see you again and

you will rejoice, and no one will take

away your joy.

In that day you will

no longer ask Me anything.

I tell you the truth, My Father will give you

whatever you ask in My name.

Until now you have not asked for anything

in My name. Ask and you will receive, and

your joy will be complete.

Though I have been speaking figuratively,

a time is coming when I will no

longer use this kind of language but will

tell you plainly about My Father.

In that day you will ask in My name.

I am not saying that I will ask the Father

on your behalf. No, the Father Himself

loves you because you have loved Me

and have believed that I came from God.

I came from the Father and entered

the world; now I am leaving the world

and going back to the Father.”

Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are

speaking clearly and without figures of

speech. Now we can see that you know

all things and you do not even need to have

anyone ask you questions.

This makes us believe that you came from God.”

“You believe at last!” Jesus answered. ” But a time

is coming, and has come, when

you will be scattered, each to his own home.

You will leave Me all alone. Yet I will

not be alone for My Father is with me.

I have told you these things, so that in Me

you may have peace.

In this world you will

have trouble. But take heart!

I have overcome the world.”

After Jesus said this, He looked

toward heaven and prayed:

” Father, the time has come.

Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You.

For You

granted Him authority over all people that

He might give eternal life to all those You

have given Him. This is eternal life: that they may

know You, the only true God, and Jesus

Christ, Whom You have sent.

I have brought You glory on the earth by

completing the work You gave Me to do.

And now, Father glorify Me in Your presence

with the glory I had with You

before the world began.

I have revealed You to those whom You

gave Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave

them to Me and they have obeyed Your word.

Now they know that everything You have given

Me comes from You.

For I gave them the words You gave me

and they accepted them. They

knew with certainty that I came from You,

and they believed that You sent Me.

I pray for them.

I am not praying for the world, but for those

You have given Me, for they are Yours. All I have

is Yours, and all You have is Mine. And glory has

come to Me through them. I will remain in the

world no longer, but they are still in the world,

and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect

them by the power of Your name- the name You

gave Me- so that they may be one as we are one.

While I was with them, I protected them and 

kept them  safe by that name you gave Me.

None has been lost except the one doomed to

destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

I am coming to You now, but I say these things

while I am still in the world, so that they may

have the full measure of My joy within them.

I have given them Your word and the world has

hated them them, for they are not of the world

any more than I am of the world. My prayer

is not that You take them out of the world but

that You protect them from the evil one. They

are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

Sanctify them by the truth: Your word is truth. 

As You sent Me into  the world, I have sent them

into the world. For them I sanctify Myself,

that they too may be truly sanctified.

My prayer is not for them alone.

I pray also for those who will believe in Me though their

message, that all of them may be one,

Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.

May they also be in Us so that the world may

believe that You have sent Me.

I have given them the glory that You gave Me,

that they may be one as we are one; I in

them and You in Me.

May they be brought to complete unity to let

the world know that

You sent Me and have loved them even as

You have loved Me.

Father, I want those You have given Me to

be with Me where I am, and to see My glory, the

glory You have given Me because You have loved

Me before the creation of the world.

Righteous Father, though the world does not

know You, I know You, and they know that

You have sent Me. I have made You known

to them, and will continue to make known in

order that the love You have for Me may be

in them and that I Myself may be in them.

(John 16.19-31 and john 17.1-26).

to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had

shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

On the eight day they came to circumcise the child, and they

were going to name him after his father Zechariah, but his mother

spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”

They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that

name.”

Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to

name the child. He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s

astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.”

Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was loosed,

and he began to speak, praising God. The neighbors were all

filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people

were talking about all these things. Everyone who heard this

wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?”

For the Lord’s hand was with him.

His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and

prophesied:

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

because He has come and has redeemed His people.

He has raised up a horn of salvation for us

in the house of His servant David

(as He said through His holy prophets of long ago),

salvation from our enemies

and from the hand of all who hate us-

to show mercy to our fathers

and to remember His holy covenant,

the oath He swore to our father Abraham:

to rescue us from the hand of our enemies,

and to enable us to serve Him without fear

in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.

And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;

for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,

To give His people the knowledge of salvation

through forgiveness of their sins,

because of the tender mercy of God,

by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven

to shine on those living in darkness

and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the path of peace.

And the child grew and became strong in spirit,

and he lived in the desert until he appeared

publicly to Israel.

(Luke 1.57-80).

in the hill country of Judea, where she entered

Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When

Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped

in Elizabeth’s womb and Elizabeth was filled with

the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed:

“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the

child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the

mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the

sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my

womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that

what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

(Luke 1.39-45)

you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope

by the power of the Holy Spirit.

(Romans 15.13).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

(quarrels and fightings) originate among you? Do they not arise

from your sensual desires that are ever warring in bodily members?

You are jealous and covet (what others have) and your desires that go

unfulfilled; so you become murderers. (To hate is to murder as far as

your hearts are concerned.) You burn with envy and anger and are not

able to obtain (the gratification, the contentment, the happiness that you

seek), so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask God.

(I. John 5.15).

When you do ask, you fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose

and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is (when you get what you desire)

to spend it in sensual pleasures.

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is

hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes

an enemy of God. Or do you think the scripture says without reason that

the spirit He caused to live in us envies intensely? But He gives us more

grace. That is why the scripture says:

“God opposes the proud

but gives grace to the

humble.”

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners,

and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change

your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the

Lord, and He will lift you up.

(James 4.1-10).
