John 20:29 ~ have not seen and yet have believed

 

Jesus replied to Jeremiah's writings by saying:

John 20:29

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Jesus was doing something in this passage we should listen to - He was listening. On several occasions, He cried out - if you have ears - Listen. Jesus rose up at one of the Holy Days, in the midst of the dry routine and He jumped up and said:

John 7

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.

And when Jesus taught He taught in parables. Because He was asking us not merely to hear the Word, but to be doers. Know the Scriptures and know the Power of God. Living Water is flowing into us as God's Believing Children. 

Jesus can make Good News. 

And Jesus had been pressed by His family that day, to make a splash, to dazzle them all, and He stood up and said something incredible, no regular person would say. But you have the idea Jesus was strong and stung. It had been a long day for Jesus, who showed Himself to be tired at times, to eat well and to create wine.

More Good News:

Yesterday we saw

MORE EASTER AND FAMILY TRAVEL

TODAY MY FAMILY LEARNED

WEATHER RELATED DISASTERS ARE FEWER!

Sadly, my older son works with Government Agencies

who help people with weather related disasters.

Today, he was told to look for another job with his entire

team and another team. Because there are not enough

Disasters to Keep Employing Them.

Good News. Blessings are finding the Blessing, after all.

  

  1 John 5:2

  By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, 4 because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.

1 Timothy 3:16

Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: 

He appeared in a body, 

was vindicated by the Spirit, 

was seen by angels, 

was preached among the nations, 

was believed on in the world, 

was taken up in glory.

Philippians 4:7

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Jesus Christ. God. Son of God. Prince of Peace. True Light of Light. Only Begotten Son of the Father. From WHOM all things were made. Lamb of God.

Jesus Christ Superstar is appealing, but really leaves an aspect of Jesus behind. Jesus did not just jump into the fray. The events around Jesus continued to swirl quickly. So many times all the actions, words and conversations were fast paced. But Jesus is Prince of Peace. He spent deliberate time and energy in prayer and in rest.

Jesus  often - to pray. 
Jesus heals all who followed HIM.
Jesus, not seeking fame for healing. 
Jesus proclaims Justice.
Jesus not seeking quarrels.
Jesus heals the bruised.
Jesus sparking into flame, the tiniest thought of faith.

Jesus bringing justice to Victory.
In the name above all names. JESUS THE LORD.  We shall all Hope.

Abba, Father,

Like Isaiah, we will look to Jesus.

And be strong in Jesus, who had emotions and was fully human.

Easter proving, again, Jesus is the Messiah of God.

Rejoicing in Easter 2022 to be so Celebrated.

The Love Jesus has for us reaching out

and enfolding us.

Dwell in us, Abba,

Let us have Mercy You Give

Help us to have Your Wisdom.

O Israel, Hope in the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore!

The Wonders of God

giving us awe

are not, in Jesus Christ,

too great or marvelous for us.

We are calmed and quieted in our soul

with Jesus and the Holy Spirit

Teaching and Comforting us.

One Son has a new job, we prayed for locally,

yet now the other was informed,

to look for another job as 

Weather Disasters Wane and his business is not as busy.

Rejoice in better weather

and ask your prayers for my family.

Jesus is The Lord!

Dwell in us, Abba,

Dwell in those we love.

Help us to seek You First

and

We will finish well, in Jesus.

The Lord is blessing the Nation

we believe in faith.

Father, bless Ukraine,

and all the world

working to overcome as we 

will do this in faith.

Thank You, Jesus

Easter

and Salvation. Amen.

He has the Whole World in His Hands
