16-18“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. + JOHN 3:16-18 + HOLY BIBLE + THE MESSAGE

The Narrow Gate

(Luke 13:22–30)

13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. + MATTHEW 7:13-14 + HOLY BIBLE + BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE

 

JESUS, Thank YOU FOR HEALING me.

16For God so loved the world that He gave His one and onlye Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. + JOHN 3:16 + HOLY BIBLE + BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE

     

Faith is Being Sure

 Praise JESUS. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. {2} For by it the elders obtained a good report. {3} Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. {HEBREWS 11:1-3 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}"

The Faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah

4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. {HEBREWS 11:4-7 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}"

     “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” {2^ND PETER 3:9 + HOLY BIBLE ~ KING JAMES VERSION} When we think about THE GOODNESS, GRACE, AND LOVE OF Our LORD JESUS {1 CORINTHIANS 5:4 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION}, IT ONLY Behooves us to desire to walk in the Light as HE IS IN THE LIGHT {1 JOHN 1:7 + HOLY BIBLE + BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE}. 

     Let's be quick to remember that Our JESUS IS A CONSUMING FIRE {HEBREWS 12:29 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}. When Our CRUCIFIED {JOHN 19:30 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION} AND RESURRECTION {JOHN 11:25 + HOLY BIBLE + BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE}, THE LORD AND GOD JESUS {JOHN 20:28 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}, PRAYED HIS HIGH PRIESTLY PRAYER IN JOHN 17 BEFORE GOING TO THE CROSS, RESURRECTING FROM THE Dead THE Third Day {LUKE 24:34, 46 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}, HIS GREATEST DESIRE WAS THAT we would Receive HIM {JOHN 1:12 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION} and Receive Eternal Life {JOHN 3:36 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION}, SAYING "Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. {JOHN 17:3 + HOLY BIBLE + BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE}" 

     Because of THIS GREAT LOVE THE FATHER HAS BESTOWED UPON HIS ONE AND ONLY SON {JOHN 3:16 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION}, THE LORD JESUS and Us {1 JOHN 3:1 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION}, we have no other recourse or desire than to walk upright According to HIS WILL AND LOVING PURPOSE FOR Our Lives.

 

     IN TODAY'S "smooth stones {1 SAMUEL 17:40 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION}", we see Our LORD JESUS {ACTS 15:11 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION} DISCIPLING HIS Followers, With THE TRUTH That THERE we are to "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it. {MATTHEW 7:13-14 + HOLY BIBLE + BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE}   

     With HIS WARNING, THE LORD JESUS {ACTS 9:17 + HOLY BIBLE + ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION} COMMANDS Us that, "...broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. {MATTHEW 7:13b + HOLY BIBLE + BEREAN STANDARD BIBLE}" Wherefore, it shows our Wisdom and Common Sense, as we BY THE GRACE OF JESUS {HEBREWS 2:9 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION} Take the Narrow Way. For hell is a real place and HEAVEN IS THE Only PLACE we Desire to be.

 

     So, my "dear friend {3 JOHN 1:1 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION}", let's be certain to understand that time is short {ACTS 26:28 + HOLY BIBLE + THE PASSIOMN TRANSLATION}. All the Signs Attest to THE GREAT TRUTH THAT, Our LORD JESUS {1 THESSALONIANS 4:2 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}" IS SOON TO RETURN {PHILIPPIANS 2:24 + HOLY BIBLE + THE PASSION TRANSLATION}. 

      "Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, {2 PETER 3:11 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}" Let's Remember the GOODNESS AND FAVOR OF Our HEAVENLY FATHER, Whereby HE DECREES IN 2 PETER 3:9 {HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}, "“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

     "Dear children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION}"The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen. {REVELATION 22:21 + HOLY BIBLE + NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION}

 

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. + JOHN 3:16 + HOLY BIBLE + ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION

 

 

Return to Jerusalem

33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.  

46 and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And ye are witnesses of these things. 49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. + LUKE 24:33-34, 46-53 - HOLY BIBLE - KING JAMES VERSION

The Lost Sheep

3And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. + LUKE 15:1-7 + HOLY BIBLE + KING JAMES VERSION
