God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. John describes his Savior as God of Love. Let's look at God. When His cousin, John the Baptist, died, Jesus had a unique to God response. He fed 5,000 people with no real amount of food. By God's Word and giving Thanks. A funeral from Jesus to John the Baptist. And then Jesus walked on water, just as the Holy Spirit did in Genesis 1. And when Peter could not walk with Jesus upon the water, immediately Jesus reached down and enabled Peter to have His Strength and help. Now I am aware we have written this down recently. And yet, this is what I am talking about - Having the Strength of God. Jesus Christ, Son of God, has this. Most of us know someone who has survived a tremendous illness or accident. Generally, survivors do not fix breakfast for 11 men. Usually, there is not an argument after victory over death about favoritism - like the Disciples had in John's 21st Chapter. The Disciples took one look at Jesus Christ - saw Him as Strong and decided to let their real personality all hang out. Flap in the breeze. Their Jesus looked strong enough to deal with them as themselves.
What did Jesus do next?
He went for a long, long walk - the Road to Emmaus. Evidently Victory over Death is VICTORY. COMPLETE VICTORY FOR JESUS.
1 Corinthians 15:6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. What was Jesus doing? Acts 1 tells us what the Messiah, Savior, Son of God our Father - is doing. Jesus is teaching. He is not suffering. He is preaching. Jesus is breaking cultural norms. Jesus is appearing and teaching women. Jesus - is - Triumphant. Now, how would God do even more? Mark 16:19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.
Abba, Jesus is Astonishing. Jesus is Amazing. Jesus is completely filled with His Father. And You, have given us... Your Son. What would Jesus do with me? Jesus would call me His Own. God's Beloved Child. Believers have Jesus within us - Thank You for Salvation, cover the ones I love with Jesus. And as the Beloved of God pray for this, around this world that belongs to You, Father God, and the fullness of the earth; we know the Holy Spirit covers our world with our prayers and You are pleased. Holy, Holy, Holy is our Lord God, Jesus Almighty. Alleluia. Amen.
21 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.
8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.” Because Genesis began with Jesus, and because of their Great Love - we have a Father. Our God chooses to be Our Father.
We are starting out. Beginning another voyage of Holy Days.
And while we do not see the detail of the days coming forth, God knows exactly what He is doing. And God will say to these days at hand, "Prepare a Straight Path for the Lord God." God who choses to be a Father to us.
The Universe is vast and difficult - particularly - when we navigate emotion finding meaning in life. For the Almighty, Ancient of Days, Light of Light, True God of True God. The Holy Spirit - who calls the Stars and all of the Heavenly Host by name - the Universe is not overwhelmingly large. The Universe - Creation of God - Who choses in Jesus Christ to be our Father - is not burdensome to Him.
So much so, Jesus frolics with Donkeys. The Word of God frolics with Donkeys. God sees so much Good - He calls His donkey to speak and the children, the infant and the rocks to proclaim the Glory of God Most High.
The Word of God bestows on donkeys the ability to speak and proclaim loyalty with wisdom. Jesus chose Donkeys. David took his to be crowned the King of many tribal lands. God has a fondness for these protective animals. God displays fun with donkeys and honor.
Donkeys have a notorious reputation for stubbornness, and attributed with sense of self-preservation/regard for life. Difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it perceives to be dangerous against life. Trusting and dependable for work. Donkeys appear to be quite intelligent, cautious, friendly, playful, and eager to learn.
Matthew 21:16 They said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, “‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise’?”
Luke 19:40 "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
We have a God, who choses us. To be a Father to us. Today.
Remember again the Splendor of Our Almighty Father dwelling in us, who cherish Jesus Christ our Lord.
Isaiah 40:6-14
A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
Go on up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good news;
lift up your voice with strength
O Jerusalem, herald of good news;
lift it up,
fear not;
say to the cities of Judah,
“Behold your God!”
Behold, the Lord God comes with might,
and his arm rules for him;
behold, his reward is with him,
and his recompense before him.
He will tend his flock like a shepherd;
he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young.
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
and weighed the mountains in scales
and the hills in a balance?
Who has measured the Spirit of the Lord,
or what man shows him his counsel?
Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?
Who taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint
Abba, Our Holy Days have begun again in Jesus Christ Year of our Lord 2017 A.D. We journey in Your Holy Day Season. Although we are a breath in the wind, You have seen fit to put within our mind and grasp - the enormity of Your Grace and Mercy. To those with true faith and the humility to know all have fallen and are saved - - - in the Mercy of Christ Jesus. To see the vastness of the stars, to see the unending roar and movement of the seas. To know Ancient of Days, God of All Creation, witnesses within our soul - our hearth - Jesus Christ is Lord of me. Jesus Christ is Lord over you. Jesus Christ is Lord over all. Jesus Christ is my righteousness. Jesus Christ is the righteousness of all who believe with sincerity and earnestness of Heart. The skies are vast, the Heavens glorious. And You, My Father, have put eternity in me in Jesus Christ. I will today, live and move and have my being in Jesus Christ Lord God. And in my days, I am known to You. Utterly and Completely. And just as Your Word has created more than mankind can fathom, Your Word of Jesus' Grace will fill me forever. Fill my Loved Ones.

Let me this day bring some of Heaven to earth. Let the Hope of Jesus be our all and all. Amen Jesus God.
1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying, "Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not."
Nothing about The Book of Revelation is very comfortable. Not our experience. Not our understanding. God's Revelation. And we are completely agreeing with John's Revelation - John being in Heaven every time Protestants pray the Lord's Prayer. Revelation 4:9,10 is the witness of "Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory."
Every time we get to this portion - we are agreeing with the First Council of Nicaea, John is an eyewitness of the Crucifixion, Jesus Risen in Victory over death, Jesus ascends to Heaven, and John His Disciple has been to God's Kingdom. We agree The Book of Revelation is John's true eyewitness to the Glory of God.
Yet, when we wind down and get to the Lord's Prayer's finish: "Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory." I feel extreme comfort. Like a High Five. John has - been there - and Jesus has comforted John. I can relax in Jesus. I believe with Jesus and John. This is Jesus. Our Jesus. Wonderful Jesus.
John's cave on Patmos has a wonderful view.
And a history of time we can see. Jesus died about 33 A.D. Emperor Domitian ruled until 81 to 96 A.D. John was seeing Jesus one Sunday afternoon about 63 years later. Surprise!!!
And when Jesus spoke to John - personally - we can draw up the comfort of Jesus.
A shoe to fit anyone:
A comfort for 'your internal Hearth':
A place of eternity called Home:
Where you are seen by Jesus completely:
Where you can be all you all the time:
All your days are known - from beginning to this very day:
Where Jesus would comfort and cover you:
And you are with Jesus.
"For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory."
And Jesus says, "Fear not." Jesus lives were all hearts are revealed, all secrets known, no desire is hidden. Where the words of our mouth and the meditation of our heart is well known to Jesus, our Wonderful Jesus.
Abba,
When we see Jesus - we have seen You.
Jesus, whom You appointed the heir of all things,
through whom also Abba created the world.
Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God
and the exact imprint of our Father God's nature
Jesus upholds the universe by the Word of Your power.
After making purification for sins,
Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
having become as much superior to angels
as the name Jesus has inherited
Son of God, Jesus, more excellent than all others.
For to which of the angels did Father God ever say,
“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”?
Or again,
“I will be to Jesus a Father,
and Jesus shall be to Me a Son”? Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God.
And again, when Abba brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
Jesus, You encourage us to make our words strengthen us with integrity and honesty to make our words give us peace Jesus encourage us to make each day right. We pray this for ourselves, for the ones we Love, the people You have given us. Your Light reaching to all, this Nation, the World. We give You, Thanks. In Jesus. Amen.
