    Jesus came into this world as the Son of God, to reveal the Father, to be a model for the disciple's and to be our great high priest. John 1:18     No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 1 John 2:6     He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Hebrews 4:14     Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.     Jesus defeated the devil by death for us. The devil's lies brings nothing more than Eternal Death to those who follow him.      Death here on earth, Afterwards, brings judgment and the fear of it, rest upon you only 1 John 3:8     He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that h...

      Arrogance of humility is that God looks on the heart. People who trust themselves for their righteousness and at the same time , viewing others with contempt by thinking they are better than them. Charles Spurgeon said;      "When asked what is more important; 'Praying or Reading the Bible?'      I ask, 'What is more important: Breathing In or Breathing out?' Luke 18:9-17     And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:     Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.     The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.     I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.     And the publican, standing afa...

      Archaeologists go through the ruins of antiquity looking for certain ways to identify a place of Christian worship. By looking for a cross which they may find painted on a wall, carved into stone, or even worked into a floor plan, and other regional artifacts. When they find such artifacts, they then know they’ve found a place of worship or a church.     Christians identified themselves by wearing the cross on which Jesus died. Whether it’s carved in wood, etched on our hearts, or made of plastic, the cross is the chief symbol defining reality of the Christian Faith.     Some say that it is a Wooden Stake. I have to agree, and here is why I agree. It had to be made from something, in this case, two peaces of Wood nailed together.     This would be considered a Wooden Stake at this point. When Jesus was nailed to the stake, it became His grave to death. Once Christ passed, it became the Cross in which we now ha...

  1. Jesus shows the ruler that he does not know himself. He reveals that he is comparing himself with others but not comparing himself with God. The ten commandments only reveal that we all fall short of God’s righteousness.    2. The man did not understand who Jesus the Eternal King of Kings is, so man was not willing to sell all he had and followed Jesus. Not everyone loves God with all your heart in this life and has ever loved their neighbors as themselves. These two sins multiplied throughout a life would amount to thousand sins and no one can get into heaven without Jesus. Matthew Chapter 6:1       Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Luke 18:18-34        A ruler questioned Jesus, saying; “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one...

When we trust God, it brings divine peace. God loves His Children (Us.)     This happens when we give our lives to God through Jesus our Lord and King of eternity. Jesus tells us that He is the way the truth and the life, and that no human comes to the Father except through Him. Jesus in the Gospel as John tells us in Chapter 3: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:   2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter in...

Gene Watson Goto YouTube Video Build my mansion next door to Jesus, And tell the angels, I'm coming home. It doesn't matter who lives around me, Just so my mansion sits near the throne. I have no castles, no earthly kingdom, But this cabin will do 'til I get home. My mansion's yonder on the hills of glory, Oh, I hope my mansion sits near God's throne. My mother's & Father’s mansion may be close by me, Across the golden avenue. They were the first ones to teach me of Heaven, And the very first ones to tell me about you. So build my mansion next door to Jesus, And tell the angels, I'm coming home. It doesn't matter who lives around me, Just so my mansion sits near God's throne.
