Happy Thanksgiving!
We are getting close to Thanksgiving, a uniquely American Holiday and one of my favorites.
Jesus’ Words Clarify Commandments!
Please read this entire post; Jesus drilled down on the next couple of Commandments and we (you and I) will be held accountable to know His words!
Thomas Jefferson Quote
Thomas Jefferson put it like this: “The precepts of philosophy, and of the Hebrew code, laid hold of actions only. (Jesus) pushed His scrutinies into the heart of man, erected His tribunal in the region of his thoughts, and purified the waters at the fountain head.”
Exodus 20:13
The Sixth Commandment: Exodus 20:13 VI. “You shall not murder.”
Go To The Source: Read The Bible.
Seems straight forward as most of us are not murderers, until you study Scripture, which reads as follows:
Matthew 5:21-24
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool! Shall be in danger of hell fire.” Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:21-24)
Do You Have Love In Your Heart?
Jesus added the heart to the Commandments; if, in your heart, you are angry with anyone, without a cause, you are violating this Commandment. Have you ever sinned by being angry with anyone, without cause? Have you ever experienced ‘road rage’ or any uncontrollable anger without a (good) cause?
Forgiveness
I think this is a good time to discuss ‘forgiveness.’ Jesus is very clear that our Heavenly Father expects us to be forgiving people as well as seeking forgiveness for our transgressions (trespasses):
Matthew 6:14-15
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14-15)
You Have To Decide About Jesus: Yes or No?
If you are not a born-again Christian, this verse should send a chill down your spine. Do not put this off; get yourself right with Jesus – Today would be good!
Powerful Biblical Prophecies.
Prophecy is amazing! Just think about it: the Bible records hundreds of Messianic prophecies hundreds of years before Jesus which He fulfilled. Powerful evidence! Just think about it!
Virgin Birth Foretold.
Isaiah 7:14 – The Messiah will be born of a virgin.
Isaiah 7:14
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
Luke 1:26, 27, 30, 31
a. Luke 1:26, 27, 30, 31 – “…the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary…Then the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.’ ”
Jesus’ Birth Foretold By 700 Years.
b. Approximate date of Prophecy: “750-722 years B. C.”
Jesus’ Gospel Is Our Salvation!
Jesus is the Messiah; our Lord and Personal Savior! Jesus is the primary reason for this Blog. We are just a bit more than a month from celebrating His birthday; He is the ‘reason for the season’ and a good time to get to know Him.
