Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
John 10:9
Jesus said,
"I am the door. If anyone enters by me,
he will be saved and will go in and out
and find pasture."
Hebrews 12:24 You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel.
God chose not to be a Spirit we would chase after and debate. God chose to come to us, to live the human condition. God chose to be as close as our prayer. To have lived, Himself, joy and sorrow on this earth.
1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

Great 3D Adaption of Rembrandt's Jesus Calms the Storm
Matthew 8:23-27
23 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.
24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.
25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.”
26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”
Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”
Psalm 107
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the great waters;
24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,
his wondrous works in the deep.
25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,
which lifted up the waves of the sea.
26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their evil plight;
27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men
and were at their wits' end.
28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
29 He made the storm be still,
and the waves of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,
and he brought them to their desired haven.
31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
The Disciples were forgiven to be the men who forgot Jesus not only showed them Life, but saved their lives.
Jesus slept from having another filled day in His Life. And Father God has walked with mankind all of mankind's life. Heaven has no Ocean.
To find God's Throne in Heaven...
Psalm 8:1
O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
You'd find the shining water and walk toward the water's source. Our Father God has decorated His Throne with Shining Water flowing from His Throne and going past the Trees of Life.
Psalm 96:6
Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
We wonder together - does the Water Shine in Heaven because of the Glory of God reflected on the Light and Living Water of the Sea of Galilee remembering this very day?
We would wonder together at Father God's Delight to have His Son return to Heaven and to have a new Heaven and a new earth. His Heaven shines with Light and Shining Water. Splendor and majesty, strength and beauty in Jesus giving His Father a new Heaven and a new earth. Father God's Heaven would now reflect His Glory and Holiness.
Psalm 24:10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.
Hebrews 1:3-4 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
Psalm 145:12 To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.
Luke 19
37 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, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
Abba, our Loving Father, Jesus is our on going Blessing, renewing daily Your Mercy. You have told us Jesus is Living Water. You control both wind and water. The water goes wherever it pleases. We hear its sound, but we cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. The Spirit of God directs both wind and water. You know the sound, You have Spoken into life. You, Father God, direct where both wind and water come from and where it goes. You receive our souls, we believe in the Name of Jesus. You gave us the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of Your Will. We ask Your willing blessing on those we Love. We ask Your blessing upon the People You have given us. We ask Your blessing on our cares and concerns. We Bless You with Praise and Thanksgiving from sincere hearts for Your Blessings. You bless Abundantly. Bless our Nation trusting in You. Bless the Nations trusting in You. Bless all of Your Children around the world looking and asking for more Heaven on earth. Your good and gracious Plan. In Jesus Christ. Amen.
1 Samuel 2:2
“There is no one holy like the LORD;
there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God"
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.
And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
The one event we can picture for the ancestors of Jesus and Mary, Joseph, Jesus, James, Jude, Joses, Simon and the sisters of Jesus - is Passover. For most of the people in this passage - we know Passover would be a time of gathering and recollection. High Holy Days. Yes, there was Succoth and the Festival of Booths, other Holidays, but it's not exactly what we can picture.
The Family of Jesus has flaws. Has years of glory and famine. Jesus told us this Life is Joy.
We have another High Holy Day coming up. Many Nations celebrate Easter Monday and observe this as a National Holiday.
Gathering the Family.
Pray with Hope. Jesus said this Encouragement to us in God's Living Word.
We hope to see more of Easter available on the History Channel. The History Channel has covered this well. National Geographic has covered the Exodus with theories and amazing views. We hope TMC Channel will show us The Ten Commandments. The Robe. Ben Hur. We Hope HBO will bring The Prince of Egypt non-stop. We hope to see Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus the Boy. And many of the recent Christian films like "Heaven is for Real" in the Theaters.
Consider now we have all these Movie sources. Google and Apple Too.
Easter ~ pray the Good Fight to have this Celebrated!!!
Thanksgiving begins the Season of Giving. With Giving Thanks.
Christmas Celebrates the Birth of God's Son, Light of the world, Light of mankind as the days grow shorter. Walking with Faith.
Easter celebrates The Light Of the world coming to live in mankind. As the Days grow Long and the Light is Brighter. The fact of the Resurrection of Jesus and His Victory over Death. This the gate path of summer days for families.
How is this night different from all other nights?
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Psalm 145:4 One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 78:4 We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price."
Abba, our Father, How is this Season different from all others? Oh Come all Ye Faithful Jesus Christ Triumphant Joyful and Triumphant! O come, all ye faithful, o come, all ye faithful Joyful and triumphant! Oh, sing, choirs of angels Sing in exultation! Savior of the Nations Come! And please let the Television Schedules Reflect This to the Citizens near and afar!
Allllllllllleluia, Amennnnnn. Almighty God. No Higher Name than Jesus. Amen.
The walls of Constantinople / Istanbul are of antiquity and modern.
Hebrews 12:1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
When we consider Jesus terrified the various Emperors of the Roman Empire beginning 16 years, in a slow news time period, after the Crucifixion of Jesus - we see some Christians were martyred, some fled, some carried the word of God (like the 300 intact Chapters of Papyrus 46 from the time when John the Disciple was still alive) far across Europe and into Asia.
And as Christianity prospered, trade in the declining Roman Empire began to return. Why? The people forming the Church of Jesus Christ didn't just invent hospitals, monasteries feeding the starving, raising orphans, teaching farming - the trust of the people in mankind began to flourish.
How do we see in history mankind began to flourish?
Cities began to leave the City States brought about by the Decline of the Roman Empire. When Constantine created Constantinople, we find Istanbul today has the heavily fortified City State. The Eastern Roman Empire considered itself to be the Roman Empire - just moving to the right. It wasn't until 1453 when it was called the Byzantine Empire by those who had conquered it and didn't want the Roman Empire to have appeared to flourish until 1453. It was a total Name Change Game Change situation.
We don't see old city walls like Istanbul/Constantinople because all over Europe the city wall was proving unnecessary.
St. Paul's Bones are housed in St. Paul's Basilica or the formal title ~ Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls.
Hebrews 12 is a Game Changer.
Christianity did not flourish just in collars and Churches and Formal Good Works. Christianity flourished in house churches - where the praying Christian could be called on to pray for the Non-Christian and they expected to see God Act. And in the Book of Acts, this dramatically happened. The People of Jesus formed the Church because the people wanted this Joy, Hope, Peace and Love.
The Victory of The Early Church in 325 A.D. was the Light Shining in the Hopes of Jesus' beloved people. This is not a victory for the Cathedrals and Vatican and the history of the Church - alone - this Victory is the Light of Christ Shining in People.
Were there colossal failures and setbacks? Of course, we know this to be true. The Hand of God is still alive, still working. When the Black Plagues ended, the Bible began to be printed in readable languages to people worthy enough to now have salvation from serfdom and the ability to read the Word of God. Like the Exodus, this work of God took time.
So the Cloud of Witnesses isn't just Buildings, it's not only the Clerics, it's not just all the People who sought God's Love, this is also the Hand and Good Will of God bringing you and me and our loved ones a Hope and a Future.
This is truly, as Jesus liked to say, truly we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses.
St. Paul's Basilica Outside the Walls

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. <><
