Even in the coming to us in the flesh in Jesus Christ, God set us a perfect example of life in Him; likewise, He Showed us the way in resting, encouraging us to do the same. Strive to enter into that rest therefore; so you do not fall like the children of disobedience! Lord God our Father, Help us to enter into Your rest, secured in Your Love!!!
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 KJV
Our Lord Jesus Christ markets and celebrates doing good; calling upon those who are suffering and under heavy yokes of bondage to come to Him for rest assured! He Counsels all to be yoked in Him and learn from His humility and meekness; hence, to find rest for their souls. He assures all that His yoke is bearable, as is His burden. However, only the humble will come to Him; for to come to Him is to accept your weakness and inability to resolve your own problems and that you do need help. However, for all who come humbly like little children, they will find rest and peace for their souls in Jesus' Name. Amen. Lord, Help us to come to You; so to find rest for our souls in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. Genesis 2:2,3 NASB
In the creation effort, even God rested on the seventh day and Blessed that day and sanctified it; what an exemplary leadership directly from the Lord for mankind to follow! Do we understand, let alone follow the Lord's Counsel though? Hmmm. May God Help us to understand, appreciate and obey His Counsel; for His Will is the best option for us in life in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of the times for your sake. 1 Peter 1:18-20 RSV
Our redemption and the ransom for our futile lives lived prior to Jesus Christ coming into our lives did not come through perishable things like the cravings of mankind for silver, gold, etc.! Oh no! Rather, we were saved by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ; as destined before the foundation of the world, manifested in the end times for our sake. Oh thank You Lord Jesus for the Saving Grace extended unto myself, family and all who choose to believe in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
(6) With what shall I come before the LORD, And bow myself before the High God? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, With calves a year old? (7) Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, Ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? (8) He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:6-8
What shall wash my sins away? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus! What can make me whole again? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus! O Precious Blood of God, that washed me white as snow; no other blood I know, nothing but the Blood of Jesus! What else shall I render unto the Lord for my sinfulness and filth that will please Him? For the salvation extended unto me free of charge by the Blood of the Lamb, what is required of me? Simply to act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with my God and to Love! Father, Help me to show appreciation for Your Supreme Grace to Save my soul by Loving You and proving that love by obeying Your Word in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
