God in mercy for the sinner sent His Son, Jesus Christ as a Saviour. In our sins, each one of us has fallen short of the glory of God. No good works or church attendance can improve our standing before a holy God. The scripture says “all our righteousness are as filthy rags”. There is only one way back to God and that is through God’s son, Jesus Christ.

14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle with his finger upon the front of the mercy-seat eastward; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood seven times with his finger.15 And he shall slaughter the goat of the sin-offering, which is for the people, and bring its blood inside the veil, and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat;16 and he shall make atonement for the sanctuary, [to cleanse it] from the uncleanness of the children of Israel

25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;26 for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.”

Mark 2:1-12 “2 And he entered again into Capernaum after [several] days, and it was reported that he was at [the] house;2 and straightway many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even at the door; and he spoke the word to them.3 And there come to him [men] bringing a paralytic, borne by four;4 and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug [it] up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.
5 But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven [thee].6 But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,7 Why does this [man] thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?
8 And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, [Thy] sins are forgiven [thee]; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?10 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,
11 To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch and go to thine house.12 And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before [them] all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.”

Philppians 2:5-11 “5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman’s form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.
9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father’s glory.”

In a world filled with sorrow, pain, and death, we proclaim a message of hope. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, entered this world to offer hope to everyone. Because of our sins, we all stand under God’s judgment, as the scriptures say: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). The amazing news of the Gospel is that God has provided a Saviour—Jesus Christ—who went to the cross to save us from our sins. This same Jesus has conquered death and offers eternal life to all who put their trust in Him.

John 12:1-45 “11 Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.2 It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.4 But when Jesus heard [it], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.6 When therefore he heard, He is sick, he remained two days then in the place where he was.7 Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 The disciples say to him, Rabbi, [even but] now the Jews sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any one walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world;10 but if any one walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.11 These things said he; and after this he says to them, Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.12 The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.13 But Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.14 Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.15 And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.
16 Thomas therefore, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.17 Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother.20 Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;22 but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;26 and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this?27 She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.28 And having said this, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, The teacher is come and calls thee.29 She, when she heard [that], rises up quickly and comes to him.30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha came to meet him.31 The Jews therefore who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, She goes to the tomb, that she may weep there.
32 Mary therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.35 Jesus wept.36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!
37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died?38 Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days [there].40 Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;42 but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.44 And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.
45 Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;”

Acts 17:22-34 “22 And Paul standing in the midst of Areopagus said, Athenians, in every way I see you given up to demon worship;23 for, passing through and beholding your shrines, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye reverence, not knowing [him], him I announce to you.24 The God who has made the world and all things which are in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,25 nor is served by men’s hands as needing something, himself giving to all life and breath and all things;26 and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling,27 that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us:28 for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Being therefore [the] offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, [the] graven form of man’s art and imagination.30 God therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now enjoins men that they shall all everywhere repent,31 because he has set a day in which he is going to judge the habitable earth in righteousness by [the] man whom he has appointed, giving the proof [of it] to all [in] having raised him from among [the] dead.
32 And when they heard [of the] resurrection of the dead, some mocked, and some said, We will hear thee again also concerning this.33 Thus Paul went out of their midst.34 But some men joining themselves to him believed; among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman by name Damaris, and others with them.”

22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found.

Daniel 5:1-9 “5 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles, and drank wine before the thousand.2 Belshazzar, while he t-asted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.6 Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the magicians, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
8 Then came in all the king’s wise men, but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation.9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his nobles were confounded.”
Daniel 5:13-31 “13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?14 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
15 And now the wise men, the magicians, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing.16 But I have heard of thee, that thou canst give interpretations, and solve problems. Now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet will I read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
18 O thou king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father the kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and majesty;19 and for the greatness that he gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he exalted, and whom he would he humbled.20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto presumption, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him;21 and he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses; they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was bathed with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the Most High God ruleth over the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.22 And thou, Belshazzar, his son, hast not humbled thy heart, although thou knewest all this;
23 but hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of the heavens; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy nobles, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:24 then from before him was sent the part of the hand, and this writing hath been written.
25 And this is the writing that is written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;27 TEKEL, Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting;28 PERES, Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
29 Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.31 And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, [being] about sixty-two years old.”
Revelation 1:9-18 “9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.10 I became in [the] Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,11 saying, What thou seest write in a book, and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 And I turned back to see the voice which spoke with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden lamps,13 and in the midst of the [seven] lamps [one] like [the] Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle:14 his head and hair white like white wool, as snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire;
15 and his feet like fine brass, as burning in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
16 and having in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword going forth; and his countenance as the sun shines in its power.17 And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,
18 and the living one: and I became dead, and behold, I am living to the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.19 Write therefore what thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to be after these.“

Isaiah 6:1-7 “6 In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.2 Seraphim were standing above him: each had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he flew.3 And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said, Woe unto me! for I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.6 And one of the seraphim flew unto me, and he had in his hand a glowing coal, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;7 and he made it touch my mouth, and said, Behold, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.”

4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?6 But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
9 But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.10 And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

Jesus laid down His life for sinners like you because He loved you. Throughout all of history, there has been no greater love ever shown than the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. In our sins, we have all fallen short of God’s holy standard. One sin can keep us out of His holy presence, but God has demonstrated His love for us: “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

The Gospel is a message that speaks to the heart. Our sins have separated us from a holy and righteous God, and the scriptures say, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” God is speaking to you in the Gospel, and He desires to give you a new heart. How? The Lord Jesus came into this world as a Saviour for sinners. He went to Calvary’s cross, where He took the punishment for our sins upon Himself to bring salvation for you.

4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in thy sight; that thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, be clear when thou judgest.5 Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.6 Behold, thou wilt have truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden [part] thou wilt make me to know wisdom.7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8 Make me to hear gladness and joy; [that] the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not the spirit of thy holiness from me.12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and let a willing spirit sustain me.13 I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall return unto thee.

And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem,
28 was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias.29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot.30 And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of?
31 And he said, How should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged Philip to come up and sit with him.32 And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens not his mouth.
33 In his humiliation his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other?

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak?

4 that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable things said which it is not allowed to man to utter.5 Of such [a one] I will boast, but of myself I will not boast, unless in my weaknesses.6 For if I shall desire to boast, I shall not be a fool; for I will say [the] truth; but I forbear, lest any one should think as to me above what he sees me [to be], or whatever he may hear of me.
7 And that I might not be exalted by the exceeding greatness of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn for the flesh, a messenger of Satan that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted.8 For this I thrice besought the Lord that it might depart from me.
9 And he said to me, My grace suffices thee; for [my] power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses, that the power of the Christ may dwell upon me.10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.”

Matthew 2:1-10 “Now Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, behold magi from the east arrived at Jerusalem, saying,2 Where is the king of the Jews that has been born? for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage.3 But Herod the king having heard [of it], was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;4 and, assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born.
5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea; for thus it is written through the prophet:6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Juda, art in no wise the least among the governors of Juda; for out of thee shall go forth a leader who shall shepherd my people Israel.7 Then Herod, having secretly called the magi, inquired of them accurately the time of the star that was appearing;8 and having sent them to Bethlehem, said, Go, search out accurately concerning the child, and when ye shall have found [him] bring me back word, so that I also may come and do him homage.
9 And they having heard the king went their way; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them until it came and stood over the place where the little child was.10 And when they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.”

The Lord Jesus journeyed to Calvery’s cross over 2000 years ago for you. We read in the pages of God’s word, “ the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God’s power”. If we take a look around us today or even back in history we see one big barrier separating us from a holy and righteous God. That barrier is “SIN”.
Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. He journeyed to the cross where he laid down His life for you. By this great sacrifice God is able to cleanse and offer salvation for those who comein repentece and faith to His son, Jesus Christ.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
1 Corinthians 1:17-25 17 For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain.18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God’s power.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones.20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe.
22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom;23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness;24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God’s power and God’s wisdom.25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
John 19:17-21– “17 And he went out, bearing his cross, to the place called [place] of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha;18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, [one] on this side, and [one] on that, and Jesus in the middle.19 And Pilate wrote a title also and put it on the cross. But there was written: Jesus the Nazaraean, the King of the Jews.20 This title therefore many of the Jews read, for the place of the city where Jesus was crucified was near; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin.
21 The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but that he said, I am king of the Jews.22 Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written.”
John 19:25-37 “25 And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and the sister of his mother, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.26 Jesus therefore, seeing his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son.27 Then he says unto the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.29 There was a vessel therefore there full of vinegar, and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and putting hyssop round it, they put it up to his mouth.30 When therefore Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and having bowed his head, he delivered up his spirit.
31 The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for it was [the] preparation, (for the day of that sabbath was a great [day],) demanded of Pilate that their legs might be broken and they taken away.32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first and of the other that had been crucified with him;33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead they did not break his legs,34 but one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
35 And he who saw it bears witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says true that ye also may believe.36 For these things took place that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shall be broken.37 And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.”
Galatians 3:10-14 “10 For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;11 but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;12 but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.
13 Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)14 that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?5 and having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;6 and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.7 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.”

6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things, and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my palate shall meditate truth, and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing tortuous or perverse in them.9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold:11 for wisdom is better than rubies, and all the things that may be desired are not equal to it.”

Numbers 21:4-9 “4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to go round the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became impatient on the way;5 and the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have ye brought us up out of Egypt that we should die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and no water, and our soul loathes this light bread.6 Then Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, which bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7 And the people came to Moses and said, We have sinned, in that we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee: pray to Jehovah that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.8 And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery [serpent], and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole; and it came to pass, if a serpent had bitten any man, and he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”

And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded: Gather of it every man according to what he can eat, an omer a poll, [according to] the number of your persons: ye shall take every man for those that are in his tent.17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some much, some little.18 And they measured with the omer: then he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little wanted nothing: they had gathered every man according to the measure of his eating.19 And Moses said to them, Let no man leave [any] of it until the morning.20 But they did not hearken to Moses; and some men left of it until the morning; then worms bred in it and it stank.

Matthew 27:27-54 “27 Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken Jesus with [them] to the praetorium, gathered against him the whole band,28 and having taken off his garment, put on him a scarlet cloak;29 and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30 And having spit upon him, they took the reed and beat [him] on his head.31 And when they had mocked him, they took the cloak off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify.32 And as they went forth they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go [with them] that he might bear his cross.
33 And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,34 they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted [it], he would not drink.35 And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots.36 And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.37 And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.
38 Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.39 But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads40 and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art Son of God, descend from the cross.41 [And] in like manner the chief priests also, mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others, himself he cannot save. He is King of Israel: let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him.43 He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will [have] him. For he said, I am Son of God.44 And the robbers also who had been crucified with him cast the same reproaches on him.
45 Now from [the] sixth hour there was darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour;46 but about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?47 And some of those who stood there, when they heard [it], said, This [man] calls for Elias.
48 And immediately one of them running and getting a sponge, having filled [it] with vinegar and fixed [it] on a reed, gave him to drink.49 But the rest said, Let be; let us see if Elias comes to save him.
50 And Jesus, having again cried with a loud voice, gave up the ghost.51 And lo, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were rent,52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,53 and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.54 But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this [man] was Son of God.”

4 and, not being able to get near to him on account of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was, and having dug [it] up they let down the couch on which the paralytic lay.5 But Jesus, seeing their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins are forgiven [thee].6 But certain of the scribes were there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why does this [man] thus speak? he blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?8 And straightway Jesus, knowing in his spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, [Thy] sins are forgiven [thee]; or to say, Arise, and take up thy couch and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he says to the paralytic,11 To thee I say, Arise, take up thy couch and go to thine house.12 And he rose up straightway, and, having taken up his couch, went out before [them] all, so that all were amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it thus.”

Ye shall not come near it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.5 And Joshua said to the people, Hallow yourselves; for to-morrow Jehovah will do wonders in your midst.6 And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and go over before the people.

5 But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.6 And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].7 And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.8 Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;9 go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.10 And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.
11 And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.12 And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment?

22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.25 And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.28 But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.29 But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:
30 but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.31 But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.32 But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.”

23 And Jesus looking around says to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. And Jesus again answering says to them, Children, how difficult it is that those who trust in riches should enter into the kingdom of God!25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.26 And they were exceedingly astonished, saying to one another, And who can be saved?27 But Jesus looking on them says, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.

And they said, Nothing.
36 He said therefore to them, But now he that has a purse let him take [it], in like manner also a scrip, and he that has none let him sell his garment and buy a sword;37 for I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned with [the] lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.38 And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said to them, It is enough.39 And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and having knelt down he prayed,42 saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me:—but then, not my will, but thine be done.43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.44 And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
45 And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.46 And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.47 As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?
49 And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said [to him], Lord, shall we smite with [the] sword?50 And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear.51 And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him.52 And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks?53 When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
54 And having laid hold on him, they led him [away], and they led [him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed afar off.55 And they having lit a fire in the midst of the court and sat down together, Peter sat among them.56 And a certain maid, having seen him sitting by the light, and having fixed her eyes upon him, said, And this [man] was with him.57 But he denied [him], saying, Woman, I do not know him.58 And after a short time another seeing him said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not.59 And after the lapse of about one hour another stoutly maintained it, saying, In truth this [man] also was with him, for also he is a Galilaean.60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, [the] cock crew.

13 And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.14 Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.16 Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.17 Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your God. 18 Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.”

26 And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.27 And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.28 For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king?
29 And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house.”

9 And David was afraid of Jehovah that day, and said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come to me?10 So David would not bring the ark of Jehovah home unto himself into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.11 And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months; and Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.12 And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that is his, because of the ark of God.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and am grown rich, and have need of nothing, and knowest not that thou art the wretched and the miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked;18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold purified by fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white garments, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be made manifest; and eye-salve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.19 I rebuke and discipline as many as I love; be zealous therefore and repent.20 Behold, I stand at the door and am knocking; if any one hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and sup with him, and he with me.

4 While it remained did it not remain to thee? and sold, was [it not] in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].6 And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.
7 And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.8 And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.9 And Peter said to her, Why [is it] that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of [the] Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee out.10 And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.”

4 And they brought it with the ark of God out of the house of Abinadab which was upon the hill; and Ahio went before the ark.5 And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah on all manner of [instruments made of] cypress wood, with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with sistra, and with cymbals.6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing-floor, Uzzah reached after the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen had stumbled.7 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.”

3 and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, It is enough; for all the assembly, all of them are holy, and Jehovah is among them; and why do ye lift up yourselves above the congregation of Jehovah?4 When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.
5 And he spoke to Korah and to all his band, saying, Even to-morrow will Jehovah make known who is his, and who is holy; and he will cause him to come near to him; and him whom he has chosen, him will he cause to come near to him.6 This do: take you censers, Korah, and all his band,

30 but if Jehovah make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, and all that they have, and they go down alive into Sheol, then ye shall know that these men have despised Jehovah.31 And it came to pass when he had ended speaking all these words, that the ground clave apart that was under them.32 And the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that belonged to Korah, and all their property.33 And they went down, they and all that they had, alive into Sheol, and the earth covered them; and they perished from among the congregation.”

33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end.34 But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?35 And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.”

41 and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
Luke 18:10-14 “10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer.11 The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.
12 I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain.13 And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.14 I say unto you, This [man] went down to his house justified rather than that [other].”

Would you like to go to heaven? But are you READY? The Bible tells there is one way to heaven and it not by doing loads of good works or living a good life. The way to heaven is by coming to the Lord Jesus and putting faith and trust in Him as your personal Saviour. In our sins we have wondered far away from God but in the Gospel we announce the wonderful way back to God through His son, Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
1 Kings 19:9-18 “9 And there he went into a cave, and lodged there. And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?10 And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake.
12 And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice.13 And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?14 And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when thou comest, anoint Hazael king over Syria;16 and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint prophet in thy stead.17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18 Yet I have left [myself] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.”
Luke 24:13-3513 And behold, two of them were going on the same day to a village distant sixty stadia from Jerusalem, called Emmaus;14 and they conversed with one another about all these things which had taken place.15 And it came to pass as they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus himself drawing nigh, went with them;16 but their eyes were holden so as not to know him.17 And he said to them, What discourses are these which pass between you as ye walk, and are downcast?18 And one [of them], named Cleopas, answering said to him, Thou sojournest alone in Jerusalem, and dost not know what has taken place in it in these days?
19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazaraean, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to [the] judgment of death and crucified him.
21 But we had hoped that he was [the one] who is about to redeem Israel. But then, besides all these things, it is now, to-day, the third day since these things took place.22 And withal, certain women from amongst us astonished us, having been very early at the sepulchre,23 and, not having found his body, came, saying that they also had seen a vision of angels, who say that he is living.
24 And some of those with us went to the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women also had said, but him they saw not.25 And he said to them, O senseless and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory?27 And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther.29 And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them.30 And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him. And he disappeared from them.
32 And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us as he spoke to us on the way, [and] as he opened the scriptures to us?33 And rising up the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those with them, gathered together,34 saying, The Lord is indeed risen and has appeared to Simon.35 And they related what [had happened] on the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of bread.”
Philippians 4:4-9 “4 Rejoice in [the] Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.5 Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord [is] near.6 Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;7 and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.9 What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.”
Colossians 3:12-14 “12 Put on therefore, as [the] elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any should have a complaint against any; even as the Christ has forgiven you, so also [do] ye.
14 And to all these [add] love, which is the bond of perfectness.15 And let the peace of Christ preside in your hearts, to which also ye have been called in one body, and be thankful.”

12 But [Jesus] hearing it, said, They that are strong have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.13 But go and learn what [that] is—I will have mercy and not sacrifice; for I have not come to call righteous [men] but sinners.”

Mark 1:32-45 “32 But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;33 and the whole city was gathered together at the door.34 And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him. 35 And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and those with him went after him:37 and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.
38 And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.39 And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.40 And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.
41 But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.42 And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.43 And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,
44 and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.45 But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim [it] much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.”

5 they are also afraid of what is high, and terrors are in the way, and the almond is despised, and the grasshopper is a burden, and the caper-berry is without effect; (for man goeth to his age-long home, and the mourners go about the streets;)
6 —before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be shattered at the fountain, or the wheel be broken at the cistern;
7 and the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit return unto God who gave it.”

25 whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;26 for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.”

33 And having come to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a skull,34 they gave to him to drink vinegar mingled with gall; and having tasted [it], he would not drink.35 And having crucified him, they parted his clothes amongst [themselves], casting lots.
36 And sitting down, they kept guard over him there.37 And they set up over his head his accusation written: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.38 Then are crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.39 But the passers-by reviled him, shaking their heads

52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints fallen asleep arose,53 and going out of the tombs after his arising, entered into the holy city and appeared unto many.54 But the centurion, and they who were with him on guard over Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things that took place, feared greatly, saying, Truly this [man] was Son of God.”

5 had prepared for him a great chamber, where formerly they laid the oblations, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine and the oil, which was commanded for the Levites and the singers and the doorkeepers, and the heave-offerings of the priests.6 And during all that [time] I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two-and-thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king; and after some time I obtained leave of the king.7 And I came to Jerusalem, and observed the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobijah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.8 And it grieved me much, and I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobijah out of the chamber.

1 Peter 4:1-5 “4 Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,2 no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men’s lusts, but to God’s will.
3 For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];5 who shall render account to him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.”

1 Samuel 17:1-11 “17 And the Philistines assembled their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of terebinths, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.3 And the Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side; and the ravine was between them.4 And there went out a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 And he had a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he was clothed with a corselet of scales; and the weight of the corselet was five thousand shekels of bronze.6 And he had greaves of bronze upon his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.7 And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and the shield-bearer went before him.
8 And he stood and cried to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I the Philistine, and ye servants of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.9 If he be able to fight with me, and to smite me, then will we be your servants; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye be our servants and serve us.10 And the Philistine said, I have defied the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.11 And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed and greatly afraid.”
1 Samuel 17:16-51 “16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephah of parched [corn] and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to thy brethren;
18 and carry these ten cheeses to the captain of the thousand, and visit thy brethren to see how they are, and take a pledge of them.19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [were] in the valley of terebinths, fighting against the Philistines.20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took his charge and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the wagon-defence; and the host which was going forth to the battle-array shouted for the fight.21 And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, rank against rank.
22 And David left the things he was carrying in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran into the ranks, and came and saluted his brethren.23 And as he talked with them, behold there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words; and David heard [them].24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were greatly afraid.25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that comes up? for to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who smites him, him will the king enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.
26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that smites this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?27 And the people told him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that smites him.28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.29 And David said, What have I now done? Was it not laid upon me?30 And he turned from him to another, and spoke after the same manner; and the people answered him again after the former manner.31 And the words were heard which David spoke, and they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock.
35 And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.37 And David said, Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with thee.38 And Saul clothed David with his dress, and put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and clothed him with a corselet.
39 And David girded his sword upon his dress, and endeavoured to go; for he had not yet tried [it]. And David said to Saul, I cannot go in these; for I have never tried [them]. And David put them off him.40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on and approached David; and the man that bore the shield was before him.42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was a youth, and ruddy, and besides of a beautiful countenance.43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the fowls of the heavens and to the beasts of the field.45 And David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin; but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.46 This day will Jehovah deliver thee up into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the camp of the Philistines this day to the fowl of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth. And all the earth shall know that Israel has a God;
47 and all this congregation shall know that Jehovah saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah’s, and he will give you into our hands.48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and advanced to meet David, that David hasted, and ran towards the ranks to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand into the bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead; and he fell on his face to the earth.50 So David overcame the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him; and there was no sword in the hand of David.51 And David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him completely, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.”

Luke 23:13-55 “13 And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,14 said to them, Ye have brought to me this man as turning away the people [to rebellion], and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found nothing criminal in this man as to the things of which ye accuse him;15 nor Herod either, for I remitted you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done by him.16 Having chastised him therefore, I will release him.
17 ( Now he was obliged to release one for them at the feast.)18 But they cried out in a mass saying, Away with this [man] and release Barabbas to us;19 who was one who, for a certain tumult which had taken place in the city, and [for] murder, had been cast into prison.20 Pilate therefore, desirous to release Jesus, again addressed [them].21 But they cried out in reply saying, Crucify, crucify him.22 And he said the third time to them, What evil then has this [man] done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will chastise him therefore and release him.
23 But they were urgent with loud voices, begging that he might be crucified. And their voices [and those of the chief priests] prevailed.24 And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.25 And he released him who, for tumult and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they begged for, and Jesus he delivered up to their will.26 And as they led him away, they laid hold on a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, and put the cross upon him to bear it behind Jesus.
27 And a great multitude of the people, and of women who wailed and lamented him, followed him.28 And Jesus turning round to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep over me, but weep over yourselves and over your children;29 for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck.
30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us:31 for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?32 Now two others also, malefactors, were led with him to be put to death.33 And when they came to the place which is called Skull, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, the other on the left.
34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And, parting out his garments, they cast lots.35 And the people stood beholding, and the rulers also [with them] sneered, saying, He has saved others; let him save himself if this is the Christ, the chosen one of God.36 And the soldiers also made game of him, coming up offering him vinegar,37 and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.38 And there was also an inscription [written] over him in Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew letters: This is the King of the Jews.39 Now one of the malefactors who had been hanged spoke insultingly to him, saying, Art not thou the Christ? save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost thou too not fear God, thou that art under the same judgment?41 and we indeed justly, for we receive the just recompense of what we have done; but this [man] has done nothing amiss.42 And he said to Jesus, Remember me, [Lord,] when thou comest in thy kingdom.43 And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise.44 And it was about [the] sixth hour, and there came darkness over the whole land until [the] ninth hour.45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple rent in the midst.
46 And Jesus, having cried with a loud voice, said, Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. And having said this, he expired.47 Now the centurion, seeing what took place, glorified God, saying, In very deed this man was just.48 And all the crowds who had come together to that sight, having seen the things that took place, returned, beating [their] breasts.49 And all those who knew him stood afar off, the women also who had followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.50 And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good man and a just
51 (this [man] had not assented to their counsel and deed), of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who also waited, [himself also,] for the kingdom of God52 —he having gone to Pilate begged the body of Jesus;53 and having taken it down, wrapped it in fine linen and placed him in a tomb hewn in the rock, where no one had ever been laid.54 And it was preparation day, and [the] sabbath twilight was coming on.
55 And women, who had come along with him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the sepulchre and how his body was placed.56 And having returned they prepared aromatic spices and ointments, and remained quiet on the sabbath, according to the commandment.

14 Stand therefore, having girt about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,15 and shod your feet with [the] preparation of the glad tidings of peace:16 besides all [these], having taken the shield of faith with which ye will be able to quench all the inflamed darts of the wicked one.17 Have also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word;18 praying at all seasons, with all prayer and supplication in [the] Spirit, and watching unto this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;”

Psalm 42:5 “Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God”
Proverbs 10:28 “The hope of the righteous is joy; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.”
Romans 4:18-21 “18 who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be:19 and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah’s womb,20 and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;21 and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;”
Romans 15:4 “For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.”
Romans 15:13 “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by [the] power of [the] Holy Spirit.”
1 Peter 1:3-9 “Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his great mercy, has begotten us again to a living hope through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ from among [the] dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance, reserved in [the] heavens for you,
who are kept guarded by [the] power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in [the] last time.6 Wherein ye exult, for a little while at present, if needed, put to grief by various trials,7 that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes, though it be proved by fire, be found to praise and glory and honour in [the] revelation of Jesus Christ:8 whom, having not seen, ye love; on whom [though] not now looking, but believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and filled with [the] glory,9 receiving the end of your faith, [the] salvation of [your] souls.”
Romans 5:3-21 “And not only [that], but we also boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation works endurance;4 and endurance, experience; and experience, hope;5 and hope does not make ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by [the] Holy Spirit which has been given to us:
6 for we being still without strength, in [the] due time Christ has died for [the] ungodly.7 For scarcely for [the] just [man] will one die, for perhaps for [the] good [man] some one might also dare to die;8 but God commends his love to us, in that, we being still sinners, Christ has died for us.9 Much rather therefore, having been now justified in [the power of] his blood, we shall be saved by him from wrath.10 For if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much rather, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in [the power of] his life.
11 And not only [that], but [we are] making our boast in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we have received the reconciliation.12 For this [cause], even as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:13 (for until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;
14 but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even upon those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, who is [the] figure of him to come.15 But [shall] not the act of favour [be] as the offence? For if by the offence of one the many have died, much rather has the grace of God, and the free gift in grace, which [is] by the one man Jesus Christ, abounded unto the many.
16 And [shall] not as by one that has sinned [be] the gift? For the judgment [was] of one to condemnation, but the act of favour, of many offences unto justification.17 For if by the offence of the one death reigned by the one, much rather shall those who receive the abundance of grace, and of the free gift of righteousness, reign in life by the one Jesus Christ:)
18 so then as [it was] by one offence towards all men to condemnation, so by one righteousness towards all men for justification of life.19 For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be constituted righteous.
20 But law came in, in order that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded grace has overabounded,21 in order that, even as sin has reigned in [the power of] death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Mark 10:17-22 “17 And as he went forth into the way, a person ran up to [him], and kneeling to him asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?18 But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? no one is good but one, [that is] God.19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answering said to him, Teacher, all these things have I kept from my youth.21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said to him, One thing lackest thou: go, sell whatever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, [taking up the cross].22 But he, sad at the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.”
1 John 5:1-13 “Every one that believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God; and every one that loves him that has begotten loves also him that is begotten of him.2 Hereby know we that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.4 For all that has been begotten of God gets the victory over the world; and this is the victory which has gotten the victory over the world, our faith.5 Who is he that gets the victory over the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus [the] Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, for the Spirit is the truth.7 For they that bear witness are three:8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the three agree in one.9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater. For this is the witness of God [which] he has witnessed concerning his Son.
10 He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he that does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness which God has witnessed concerning his Son.11 And this is the witness, that God has given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son.12 He that has the Son has life: he that has not the Son of God has not life.13 These things have I written to you that ye may know that ye have eternal life who believe on the name of the Son of God.”
Romans 7:19-25 “19 For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.20 But if what I do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.21 I find then the law upon me who will to practise what is right, that with me evil is there.
22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:23 but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.24 O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?25 I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve God’s law; but with the flesh sin’s law.”
Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Galatians 3:4-7 “4 but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,5 that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.6 But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 So thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.”
Romans 10:9 “at if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from among [the] dead, thou shalt be saved.”
1 Corinthians 12:3 “3 I give you therefore to know, that no one, speaking in [the power of the] Spirit of God, says, Curse [on] Jesus; and no one can say, Lord Jesus, unless in [the power of the] Holy Spirit.”
Daniel 3:16-18 “16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.17 If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of thy hand, O king.18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image that thou hast set up.”
1 Samuel 17:32 “32 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him: thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant fed his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and also a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock.
35 And I went after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and when he arose against me, I seized him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.36 Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.37 And David said, Jehovah who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with thee.”

15 having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;16 and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;17 and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.”

8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father’s glory.”

5 For this is hidden from them through their own wilfulness, that heavens were of old, and an earth, having its subsistence out of water and in water, by the word of God,6 through which [waters] the then world, deluged with water, perished.7 But the present heavens and the earth by his word are laid up in store, kept for fire unto a day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.8 But let not this one thing be hidden from you, beloved, that one day with [the] Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.9 [The] Lord does not delay his promise, as some account of delay, but is longsuffering towards you, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of [the] Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, and [the] earth and the works in it shall be burnt up.11 All these things then being to be dissolved, what ought ye to be in holy conversation and godliness,12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, by reason of which [the] heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and [the] elements, burning with heat, shall melt?13 But, according to his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.”
