Matthew 5:6 ~ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled

 




When we say Jesus is Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, we could give a millenniums and millenniums long historical search.  And what the heart and soul we have cries out to find is,

“Today, What is Jesus Saying to Me?”





I'd like to answer this for Edward and me, today. 

Several years ago, Edward and I set out on a long car, road trip, vacation one early, early Sunday morning. As we got several states away, we were about 10 in the morning. And every Church, we passed, seemed to be well tended and with a 'zero' capacity parking lot. And I pointed this out to Edward. 

The vacation car ride became tense. Edward would say, “We have another Church ahead of us.” We would become silent and watchful as a tennis match.  Either neither of us would not say a word, but sporadically, we would say, that Church parking lot had 2 cars. This happened for an hour. Edward finally cried out and said, The Deep South is Bible Country! Where is everyone! And it seemed to get better. And then a little better. And then a lot better by about 11 AM.

That night, we stopped in a Hotel, and we asked the dinner staff about our drive. To our relief of decades, the waiter laughed. Laughing was good... He said it's spring forward. Oh, My God. Thank You, God.  And the waiter added, this is the South. We like our Saturday and we Love our Sunday. 11 O'Clock is Church Time.  Good. Twilight Zone far, far, far away.


Today,

Since the Pandemic, we have heard about the pews being empty. And in light of the recent availability of barely veiled lies, schemes, mistrust, missing truth, lies by omission. Social media trolling rejoicing in blatant disregard for the feelings of others, to proclaim mob rule and get behind the one idea of knowledge, a cold to deliberately cold scheme. We are all aware of what is more politely called, “the divide.”





Good News.

In recent years, Ash Wednesday has become increasingly filled. Filled like Christmas. Dare you to find a parking space. Good News.  There are Heavenly Words for those seeking Life to build up to the Lord. Goodness. Mercy. Truth. Kindness. Hope.

Hearts and souls growing warm for the Lord and His Steadfast Love.



Matthew 5:6



Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 
for they will be filled.




Jeremiah 31:25
 
I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.

Psalm 107:9

For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

The Light shines, darkness has been overcome

Habakkuk 3:17 

Though the fig tree does not bud 
and there are no grapes on the vines, 
though the olive crop fails
 and the fields produce no food,
 though there are no sheep in the pen
 and no cattle in the stalls

The Light shines, darkness has been overcome.

Jesus has overcome the world.


Jeremiah 31:12

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; 
they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD
--the grain, new wine, and oil, 
and the young of the flocks and herds. 

Their life will be like a well-watered garden, 
and never again will they languish.


Psalm 62:8

Trust in Him at all times, O people; 
pour out your hearts before Him. 
God is our refuge. 
Selah

When we say Jesus had 40 Miracles
or 
Jesus had 37 Miracles

The Good News, we are definitely not saying Jesus
healed 40 people










Let's say 41 Miracles!
The Crowd spontaneously Praises
Jesus for His Words, Ministry and Miracles

Luke 19:37-38



As He was drawing near
—already on the way down the Mount of Olives

— the whole multitude 
of His disciples 

began to rejoice and praise God 
with a loud voice 
for all the mighty works that they had seen,
saying, 

“Blessed is the King 
who comes in the Name of the Lord! 
Peace in Heaven 
and Glory in the Highest!”

— Multitude 




The Historian Josephus
was a General in Judea,
after Jerusalem was laid waste,
Josephus looked at the accounting of the Temple
and wrote the History of the Jews
and Roman History
for 3 Roman Emperors.

The accounting of pilgrimages told Josephus
the Temple would have up to 16
Temple Ceremonies during
High Holy Days
the pew counts were obtained by the number
of accounting for animal sacrifices,
and the count of Jerusalem High Holy Days
as Good Friday and Easter
occurred on Passover
— was 2 Million Pilgrimages by the people, 
generally excluding children,
this is the definition
of the word
— MULTITUDE 

This Multitude
of 2 Million People
filled the Temple
to proclaim on Easter




The Bible agrees
and during the Road to Emmaus,
the Disciples say all of Israel
knows of Good Friday
and the death of Jesus Christ.


— Multitude 


42 Miracles, Prophecy fulfilled


Luke 1

“Glory to God in the highest,
    and on earth 
peace among those with whom He is pleased!” 



43 Miracles

Mark 6:56

 Wherever He entered 
into 
villages, cities, or in the country,
 they laid the sick in the marketplaces, 
and begged Him 
that 
they might just touch the hem of His garment. 
And
 as many 
as touched Him
 were made well 






44 Miracles

Luke 9:11

When the multitudes knew it, 
they followed Him; 
and 
He received them 
and 
spoke to them 
about the Kingdom of God, 
and 
— healed those who had need of healing 









Jesus taught part of John's 6th Chapter in the Synagogue in Capernaum. 
This relief of the Ark of the Covenant is found in 
Capernaum's White Synagogue.

This Synagogue 
was next door to the Large House
of Peter and Andrew and their extended family.

Their plaster walls show pilgrimage messages 
from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Century and later.
Their House became a Church.

listing “Sons of Thunder, James and John” (on Capernaum's Synagogue)




45 Miracles 

Matthew 4:23-25

— And He went throughout all Galilee 
 teaching in their synagogues 
and proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom

— And healing every disease and every affliction among the people 

 24 So His fame spread throughout all Syria,
 and they brought Him 
all the sick, 
those afflicted with various diseases and pains, 
those oppressed by demons,
 those having seizures, 
and paralytics, 
— and he healed them. 

— And great crowds followed Him 
from Galilee 
and the Decapolis, 
and from Jerusalem and Judea,
 and from beyond the Jordan.


 Psalm 122

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
    “May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls
    and security within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake
    I will say, “Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your good.

46 Miracles, 47 Miracles, 48 Miracles

Matthew 9:35

And Jesus went throughout 
all the cities and villages, 
teaching in their synagogues
 and 
proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom 
and healing every disease and every affliction.



Matthew 10:1

And He called to Him His twelve disciples 
and 
— gave them authority over unclean spirits, 
to cast them out, 
and to heal every disease 
and every affliction. 



Matthew 12:15

 Jesus, aware of this,
 withdrew from there. 

And many followed Him, 
— and He healed them all 





Miracle 49, Miracle 50

Luke 4:40

Now when the sun was setting

All those who had any who were sick with various diseases 
—  brought them to Him, 
and He laid His hands 
on every one of them 
and healed them. — 






Luke 6:17-19

—  And He came down with them




 and stood on a level place,
 with a great crowd
 of His disciples
 and a great multitude of people 


from all Judea 
and Jerusalem
 and the seacoast of Tyre
 and Sidon, 

— who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases 



 And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
And all 
the crowd sought to touch Him, 
for power came out from Him and healed them all.













Abba, Father,

Surely, He took on our infirmities 
and carried our sorrows; 
yet, we considered Him stricken by God, 
struck down and afflicted.  

But He was pierced for our transgressions,
 He was crushed for our iniquities; 
the punishment that brought us peace 
was upon Him, 
and by His stripes 
we are healed. 

We ask healing
of Your Good Creation
the fullness of the earth is Yours.
The healing of those we pray
for in our heart and soul.

Dwell in us, Father,
Dwell fully in those we love,
Help us to seek You first
and we will finish well in Jesus Christ.

Thank You.

Our God is working. His Son, 
Jesus is working.
Amen.

YES Bless the Lord Jesus


Thank You Jesus

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
