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 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

Psalm 100 ~ His faithfulness to all generations

A wreath is The Circle of unending Love. God's steadfast, enduring Love.

Psalm 100

A Psalm for giving thanks.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!

    Serve the Lord with gladness!

    Come into His presence with singing!

Know that the Lord, he is God!

    It is He who made us, and we are His;

    we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving,

    and His courts with praise!

    Give thanks to Him; bless His name!

For the Lord is good;

    His steadfast love endures forever,

    and His faithfulness to all generations.

Airports report this was the busiest Easter - since. Well, bigger than Christmas. The busiest weekend in Airports since the Pandemic.  Wow!  Bet you didn't hear that on the news.

Travel News Reports this for Easter 2022:

The holiday travel surge has begun as travelers got an early start on the weekend. Transportation Security Administration agents screened more than 2.3 million passengers at checkpoints on Thursday, making it the second-busiest air travel day of the entire pandemic, trailing only the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2021."

"It wasn’t just Thursday. Passenger traffic at U.S. airports Monday through Thursday of this week exceeded the four days leading into Thanksgiving last fall by millions of people."

For the Lord is good;

    His steadfast love endures forever,

    and His faithfulness to all generations.

We need our generations!  Even The Beginning of Jesus, Luke 2, includes the generations:

Luke 2

21 And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

22 And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) 24 and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”

5 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, 28 he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said,

“Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace,
according to your word;
30
for my eyes have seen your salvation
31
that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32
a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel.”

33 And his father and his mother marveled at what was said about him. 

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.”


36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years, having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, 37 and then as a widow until she was eighty-four. She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

39 And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 

40 And the child grew and became strong, 

filled with wisdom. 

And the favor of God was upon him.
