Psalm 105:1-9 ~ Glory in His Holy Name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!




Psalm 105:1-9



Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon His Name

    Make known His deeds among the peoples!

Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
    tell of all His wondrous works!


3 Glory in His Holy Name

    Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!


Seek the Lord and His Strength;
    seek His presence continually!

5 Remember the wondrous works that He has done,
    His miracles, and the judgments He uttered

O offspring of Abraham, his servant,
    children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

He is the Lord our God;
    His judgments are in all the earth.

8 He remembers His covenant forever,
    the word that He commanded, for a thousand generations,
the covenant that He made with Abraham,
    His sworn promise to Isaac




One of the aspects of Easter I think about, fairly often, is the Law meets Jesus. These men aren't supposed to leave personalities in History. The Law acts as a perfect unit. And in the Roman Empire, if one steps out of line in the military, they turn on one another and decimate each other. One stabs every ten or fewer, in the count-down, and falls down dead forever. There isn't room for fear in the Law bringing. Nor room with hysterics.  Just march along like a machine. Find someone to carry the Cross for Jesus. Not step out of formation to allow compassion to flow. Be the Law. Be the Dignitas of the Roman Legion Military Machine.

And we know now from studies of human nature, if you subject mankind to forces of nature he doesn't exist with, human personality and emotion will become part of the fabric of the Law Bringers.


Soldiers saw the multitudes arrive. Not Soldiers' favorite thing. Mob surrounding Soldiers. Earthquake, Darkness, the Rock of Golgotha splits. And the Soldiers broke rank to proclaim Jesus both innocent and the Son of God.  Nahum 2 says God only destroys the very wicked once. There is no second chance.


These men are the people traveling the Roman Empire, who will go home to Rome with what they've seen. They have helped Jesus, through dictate by Simon of Cyrene, to carry the cross. And seen Him and believed Him. Honored Jesus at the very end.


They march to the Tomb and expect a quiet night. And flee.





Jesus is the Light of the world. LIGHT.  Now.  We just know what the Soldiers saw to run fast and far.

The Shroud of Turin has had many examinations. One very public one in the 80s said this was from the Renaissance. The renowned scientists gathered, again, to test the absolute middle of the Shroud, upon history revealing the edges of the Shroud were patched in the Renaissance.  And in the center of the shroud, they found the fabric was first century and had radiation, unexplained. Light. Light of the world. Light of mankind. Light of Heaven. Light of nations. He knows the Heavenly Host by Name. Spain says they have the Shroud's Headpiece and this, also, has Radiation.

Let There Be Light




Psalm 18

In my distress I called upon the Lord;
    to my God I cried for help.
From His Temple He heard my voice,
    and my cry to Him reached His Ears.




Why would God choose men who fell out of rank, being the Army of Law? What they Witnessed.

Jesus. Jesus is all about Mercy over sacrifice. Jesus told us He longs to hold us like a Mother Chick, with her loved ones under her wing. Jesus did not say He wanted His Beloved marching like ducks in a row. Unit a, b, c, d march all are the same. Jesus tells us we have a variety of gifts. For His Glory.

Jesus and Abba chose the Disciples. The Disciples are much more like popcorn opera than marching ducks. Really, the Disciples are always making the Chapter more human and flawed than Celestial Angels singing Holy, Holy, Holy Worthy is the Lamb. The Roman Soldiers were not taken down by Legions of Angels, instead they went forth to tell about Jesus. God's Mercy carries forth.  Exactly like, God has a Robust Plan!

Jesus believed His Brothers would be Acts 1 and 2. He didn't harass them. Jesus understood them and He gave them time and room.


He remembers His covenant forever,
    the word that He commanded, for a thousand generations,
the covenant that He made with Abraham,
    His sworn promise to Isaac

When we say Jesus was before Abraham, we remember Abraham didn't roll out being a Fig Newton out of a box or warehouse of Fig Newtons. Abraham let his half-sister be kidnapped by a king. Let Sarah talk him into being with a slave, who didn't want Abraham or to be left in the desert to die with her son. The Scriptures make clear God is the One who is Good.


3000 Years after Abraham lived in Hebron, God is delivering His Promise to every generation.


When we acknowledge ourselves to be flawed as the Disciples and Believe Jesus loves who we are. We Glory in His Holy Name, and in our hearts find the Joy of Love. The Joy of the Lord is my strength and my song.












Abba, Father,

Blessed are You, Lord Father our God,
Blessed is Your Son, Jesus.

We ask You to put Your Name,
"Jesus"
upon us
and say, "I will Bless them."

The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you 
and give you peace.

Let Your Heavenly Kingdom come,
Let Your Will be done,
on earth
as in Heaven.

Thank You for Your Son's Life,
He has given us immeasurably more 
than all we ask or imagine, 
according to His power that is at work within us, 

To our Father and Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit,
 be the glory in the church and
 in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
 forever and ever. Amen

Thank You, Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit!

Psalm 33:15


 He made their hearts, so he understands everything they do. 
The Maker of hearts also knows how to remake hearts.



Open hearts, change hearts.

We pray in the Highest Name of Jesus,
Amen.

John 13:34 ~ A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.


Where are the Brothers of Jesus?



John 13:34




A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: 
just as I have loved you, 
you also are to love one another.


Sunday Easter. Mary and the Brothers, Sisters of Jesus have heard Jesus is alive.  Probably no one, except Mary Magdalene, has seen Jesus. Biblically, we are told a sword will pierce Mary's heart.  We know, medically, this can kill people. Jewish customs run life in Judea and the funeral, even of convicted felons, is to be done by the family immediately. John is there to help Mary, but he isn't at home with his family in Capernaum. The sons of Zebedee are a long way from the fisherman's village. 

Mercy and charity swept Jesus into fine surroundings for the dead. The grave didn't hold Him.

Yet, if we look at Mary today, we know James, 5 chapters, and Jude, 1 chapter, are written to have grown up in family life with Jesus and contain what these sons learned from Mary as well.

 Acts 1 hasn't occurred,  neither has 1 Corinthians 15. Luke 24 has happened. The women have gone to the tomb to clean and prepare the Lord's body for burial. This chapter makes it clear Mary, the Mother of God, wasn't there Holy Saturday. Mary, here is the mother of James the less, the disciple.

Mark 15:40 
Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome.


Mary, Jesus' mother, is living Luke 2.

34 And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed 35 (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”


Mary appears in the ministry of Jesus, several times. Luke includes Mary 10 times. Very interesting, the Gospel of John only refers to Mary as Mother of the Lord 8 times. Really, John isn't mentioning other mothers.  Announcement of Jesus. Annunciation. Visiting Elizabeth. Birth. Losing Jesus by Him staying in the Temple. Being the catalyst, starting the ministry of Jesus at the Wedding. (As well as the death of John the Baptist.)  Vacation with the Wedding in Cana, with His Disciples. The witness of all Nazareth, saying this family was extremely close.  This witness occurs twice. Then the difficult parts of Mary's life, revealing more of her truth and sincerity in her conversation. Mary and Jesus' brothers seek Jesus to just come home.


 Luke 11:27-28 

27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 

28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” 


I would bet you, Mary was thinking about what Jesus said to her. The Verses in the Scriptures.
Seasons. Her soul magnifies the Lord and her spirit rejoices in God her Savior.  Turbulent days. Jesus grew in wisdom and stature. The blind could see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the leper cleansed and the poor have Good News preached to them. Ending up with multitudes to walk with Jesus, condemned for Heresy. The Government of Laws letting Him die for public and whim crowd opinion.

Luke 24 is also the Easter Sunday of Road to Emmaus. Jesus is back. Yet, Thomas has not put his finger into Jesus' pierced side.

How would this healing of Acts 1, praying together, come together? 


Romans 12:9-12 

 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 
10 Be devoted to one another in love. 

Honor one another above yourselves. 

11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 

12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.


Mary and her sons would be seeking healing. Raw emotions, then healing.


Philippians 4

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

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. 

And the God of peace will be with you.

Thanks for Their Gifts
10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 


How could we suppose this?

Hebrews 6:5 

Those who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and 
the powers of the coming age 


 Jeremiah 17:7 

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him




Psalm 36:7,10 

How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God! 
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings



1 Corinthians 15

3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 
4 that he was buried, 
that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 
5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 

6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, 
most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 

 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 

8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 

10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, 
though it was not I, 
but the grace of God that is with me.









John 1

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 

16 For from his fullness we have all received, 

grace upon grace.



  
Romans 3:24

And all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.  
  
1 Peter 1:2

Who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.   
  
2 Timothy 1:2

To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.  
  
Romans 3:24

And all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.  
  
Ephesians 2:8

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 
  
Titus 2:11

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.  
  
Ephesians 1:7

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace  
  
2 Corinthians 1:2

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.   




Abba, Father,

Blessed are You, Lord Father our God,
Blessed is Your Son, Jesus.

We ask You to put Your Name,
"Jesus"
upon us
and say, "I will Bless them."

The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you 
and give you peace.

Let Your Heavenly Kingdom come,
Let Your Will be done,
on earth
as in Heaven.

Thank You for Your Son's Life,
He has given us immeasurably more 
than all we ask or imagine, 
according to His power that is at work within us, 

To our Father and Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit,
 be the glory in the church and
 in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
 forever and ever. Amen

Matthew 3:18 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

 



Matthew 3:18

Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." 



 John 6:29 

Jesus replied, “This is the work of God: that you believe [adhere to, trust in, rely on, and have faith] in the One whom He has sent.”



Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.


But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.  (First Corinthians 15)





Abba, Father,

Blessed are You, Lord Father our God,
Blessed is Your Son, Jesus.

We ask You to put Your Name,
"Jesus"
upon us
and say, "I will Bless them."

The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you 
and give you peace.

Let Your Heavenly Kingdom come,
Let Your Will be done,
on earth
as in Heaven.

Thank You for Your Son's Life,
He has given us immeasurably more 
than all we ask or imagine, 
according to His power that is at work within us, 

To our Father and Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit,
 be the glory in the church and
 in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
 forever and ever. Amen

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. <><
