The way of the cross-Jack Blake
Friday, July 05, 2024Good Morning,
Blessed be the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again, a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1.3. And blessed are those who know, keep and do His commandments that they might have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. See Revelation 22.14. The Lord God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. 2 Peter 1.3. The Lord has shown us what is good and all He requires of us is to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Him. Micah 6.8. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him John 14.6. Your word, O Lord, has given me life Psalms 119.50. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me. Galatians 2.20. The way of the cross leads home and there is no other way.
The Steps of Christ-Jack Blake
Thursday, July 04, 2024Good Morning,
God's will is for us to do good so the ignorance of foolish men will be silenced. It is commendable before God if we suffer from doing good and take it with patience. It is to this we are called. As His disciples, we must follow the steps of Christ who left us an example by suffering for us. He threatened no one when reviled. He bore our sins in His own body, that we having died to our sins might live in righteousness. It is by His stripes we are healed. Make whatever you do today count for the glory of God.
See 1 Peter 2.
It is Jesus Who Calls Us-Jack Blake
Monday, June 24, 2024Good Morning,
Since the Wisdom of God, the world through wisdom, does not know God. But to all who wish to walk in the way of the Master, Christ is the power and the wisdom of God. So when the road you are traveling on through this pilgrim land becomes rough and rocky, hear the sweet voice of Jesus say: "Come unto Me I am the way.” Hear the blessed savior calling you and let Him take you by the hand and lead you on to that promised land. It is Jesus who calls us; It is Jesus who said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." It is Jesus who has been perfected; the author of eternal salvation to all who will obey Him.
See 1 Corinthians 1.21-24; Matthew 11.28; Hebrews 5.9.
Know God-Jack Blake
Tuesday, June 18, 2024Good Morning,
I serve a living God, an awesome God, who has such great power, strength, mercy and love for His creation. Do you know my God, have you tasted of His goodness, have you felt His power and His love, have you taken time to see the beauty of His creation Psalms 19.1? Sometimes I wonder if we don't get so wrapped up in ourselves that we overlook the most beautiful, wonderful things of life and fall back into the ways of the world? If after examining our hearts, which is what God is after, we should find evil creeping in, KNOW THIS: there is still hope to save your poor wicked soul, The name is Jesus, the beloved Son of God, the object is the cross, the event was the resurrection from death by the power of God which leads one to/ back into His loving, everlasting arms. Come out from among the wicked of the world, stand strong in the faith and the word of God.
These are my thoughts.Thanks for reading.
Our Adversary-Jack Blake
Monday, June 17, 2024Good Morning,
Disciples, while doing God's will, be careful out there for our adversary, the Devil is roaming around to see who he can devour, he will go to any lengths and measures to try and lure you away from the only one who truly loves and care for your soul. Satan can make his ways sound and look so good to you that we too can become a stubborn, rebellious people, having a form of godliness and yet deny The power of God, thereby rejecting God and ignoring His words, crucifying His Son again, putting Him to an open shame. If we should happen to fall into the pitfall of his destructive schemes, there is still a way back to a right relationship with God, and that is through His son, Jesus the Christ, and repentance of our sins. It is written, unless we repent we will all likewise perish. Luke 13.3-5
