John 13:1 ~ Jesus loves us forever

 






John 13:1



Now before the festival of the Passover, 


Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. 


Having loved His own who were in the world, 


He loved them to the end.





Matthew 22:31-32
And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God:
32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living."


Matthew 28:22b
Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.


John 5:17
But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working until now, and 
I am working."


John 6:35
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.


John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."


John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."


John 8:18
I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.


John 10:9
I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.


John 10:11
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.


John 10:14
I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me.


John 10:38
but if I do them [works], even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.


John 11:25
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live."


John 12:32
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.


John 14:6
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


John 15:1
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser."


John 17:9
I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.


John 10:30
The Father and I are one.


John 4:26
Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he [Messiah, he who is called Christ].”


Mark 14:62
And Jesus said, "I am [the Christ, the Son of the Most Blessed] , and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." 



We had a Sermon at Church, beginning of Lent, about the presence of Angels surrounding the ministry of Jesus. It's not something I've thought about often. Daniel records understanding the spiritual world presence on earth. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

When we read Scripture, the Power of God, touches one person with one verse and another with an entirely different verse. Nourishing the Body of Christ, individually and completely. Up building the Body of Christ in Love.

Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, is the birth of The New Covenant of the New Testament. 






Matthew 26:53 

Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, 
and He will 
at once send me 
more than twelve legions of angels?


This would be more than 10.5 more than the Roman Empire in Jerusalem.  Jesus wasn't counting souls, He was explaining all the Heavenly Host, as Daniel understood.



2 Corinthians 4:18 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, 
since what is seen is temporary, 
but what is unseen is eternal. 




1 Peter 1

—May be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.




 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him. 

Though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 

Obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 

12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you.

In the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit 
sent from heaven,
things into which angels long to look.





Luke 10

22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, 
and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, 
or who the Father is except the Son a
nd anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

23 Then turning to the disciples 
He said privately, 
“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!



 The Holy Spirit sent from heaven,
things into which 
angels long to look.




2 Peter 3:13

But in keeping with God's promise, 
we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,
 where righteousness dwells.

No one will obtain His Salvation.
No one is worthy.

This is the free gift of Salvation 
in Jesus Christ.

The washing of sin
is paid for by the Sacrifice of Jesus
in His Blood


Romans 3:9

What then? Are we any better? Not at all. 
For we have already made the charge
 that Jews and Greeks alike 
are all under sin.

Why would the Angels long for Salvation? After the millenniums the angels have lived with Jesus, who knows Abraham and David, living in Heaven?

Again:

2 Peter 3:13

But in keeping with God's promise, 
we are looking forward to a new heaven 
and 
a new earth, 
where righteousness dwells.


Why would we hunger and thirst for righteousness to be filled?


Isaiah 51:11

So the redeemed of the LORD will return 
and 
enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. 

Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.



Isaiah 66:22

"For just as the new heavens and the new earth, 
which I will make, 
will endure before Me," declares the LORD, 
"so your descendants 
and your name will endure.


Romans 8:21

that the creation itself will be set free 
from its bondage to decay 
and 
brought into the glorious 
freedom 
of the children of God


Revelation 7:17

For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd.
 'He will lead them to springs of living water,' 
and 
'God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'"



The Glory of His Glory. What Jesus Loves
He would have us do for one another.

His Living Example
of Spreading Loving Blessings.

Maundy Thursday,
Holy Thursday
Jesus washes Peter clean.

Jesus tells us what we do
for the least of one in His Kingdom
we do to Him.

Jesus lives the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Doing what we would have done to us
to one another.

Love one another.

When we love one another,
we are not far from Jesus Christ
and the Kingdom of Heaven.


Let us bless The Lord



Abba, Abba, Abba,

Thank You for the gift of Jesus Christ.

Thank You for the gift of Salvation in Jesus Christ.

Thank You for the gift of seeing Jesus
washing feet
after His Feet were washed.

Jesus the Blessing
of Sharing His Blessings.

Jesus giving us the understanding of You,
Your Exact Nature.

Jesus brings us the Kingdom Today.

Your Blessings Renew Daily.

Thank You, Jesus Christ.
Amen.



Let us Bless the Lord




Thank You, Father

Amen.

Amos 9:5-15 ~ The Lord God of Hosts

 








Amos 9:5-15



 

The Lord God of hosts,
He who touches the earth and it melts

And all who dwell in it mourn,
and all of it rises like the Nile,
and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt

Who builds His upper chambers in the heavens
and founds His vault upon the earth;
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
the Lord is His Name!




7 “Are you not like the Cushites to me,
O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.

9 “For behold, I will command,
and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
who say, ‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’

11 “In that day I will raise up
the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom
and all the nations who are called by my name,”
declares the Lord who does this.

“Behold, the days are coming,” 
Declares the Lord,
“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and all the hills shall flow with it.

I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
and they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.

15 I will plant them on their land,
and they shall never again be uprooted
out of the land that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.










I love Matthew Henry. Any day of the week, he is beautiful and eloquent - loving and tender as God. The English language has changed in the 250+ years he had his Bible Commentary:

Matthew Henry’s commentary on Amos:
GOD employed a shepherd, a herdsman! One who cares for others tenderly. 

And uses this tender person to reprove and warn the people. Those to whom God gives abilities for his services, ought not to be despised for their origin, or their employment. Like the advice of Gamaliel - what comes from God should not be tampered with. God places His Holy Spirit in all who believe. Good news.

Let us continue earnest in prayer for the fulfillment of these prophecies, in the peace, purity, and the beauty of the Church! God marvelously preserves His elect amidst the most fearful confusions and miseries. When all seems desperate, He wonderfully revives His Church, and blesses her with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. And great shall be the glory of that period, in which not one good thing promised shall remain unfulfilled.







God does this! HE is a giver, a bringer, a maker of blessings! Who can do it! The Great I Am has determined to do it! God's Power of Whose Grace is engaged for doing this mighty work! Verses 13 to 15- when are these days? - In the awakening of the Holy Spirit within us - And - Possible in each day.


People say they want blessings - and we are made to adapt. We can adjust to lack of blessings and find joy - however - we work the other way too. We adapt to being blessed and become fussy blessing receivers. Abraham was a fussy blessing receiver. David did far better being a dodge Israel mercenary than a king in a palace.








What will be our response to blessings of God?

This is a Very Large Topic reacting to God's blessings. A God sized topic.

Like the First Easter Sunday: Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "What if Joseph bears a grudge"

Jacob had been hugely blessed of God by all his workings, yet Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed Esau came to meet him with 400 men; and he divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and the herds and the camels, into two companies; for he said, "If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it, then the company which is left will escape."

Israel in the Exodus - Deuteronomy 1:32-33
"But for all this, you did not trust the LORD your God, who goes before you on your way, to seek out a place for you to encamp, in fire by night and cloud by day, to show you the way in which you should go"





When Acts 2, the Coming of the Holy Spirit arrived, the Disciples would need to trust the Lord the flames of the Holy Spirit would lead them and not consume them.






Abba, Father,

Help us to go before the Lord to prepare His ways
To give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins

Because of the tender mercy of our God

 His sunrise shall visit us from on high 
Giving light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death
Guiding our feet into the way of peace.


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms

By grace you have been saved through faith
 and that not of yourselves
 The gift of God
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast

Faith is a gift of God
by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ

May grace and peace be multiplied to you
 in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord

We pray for all facing injustice
and those who face the injustice
in a system called Justice.
We pray this Land
is Home of the Free
the Brave
and 
the Honest.
FREEDOM!

1 John 3:1
See what kind of love the Father has given to us,
 that we should be called children of God

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

Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, Savior of God.

Blessed are the Churches with 
Shepherds
FEEDING
their Flock!!! 

Blessings Blessings
Blessings Blessings
Amen in Jesus




Thank You, Father

Amen.

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. <><
