Matthew 13:1-23: "On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The Purpose of Parables 10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I [b]should heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
The Parable of the Sower Explained 18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty" (Matthew 13:1-23).

Happy Easter from W&R Ministries…Matthew 28…Jesus is Alive…Amen
Home page
Matthew 28:
He Is Risen
28 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone [a]from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
The Women Worship the Risen Lord
9 And [b]as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
The Soldiers Are Bribed
11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. 12 When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ 14 And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” 15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go [c]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [d]Amen” (Matthew 28).

Jesus said: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
The Father Revealed
7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves (John 14:1-11).

The post Jesus is God…He Does the Impossible…the Two Sides of His Parables…Jesus is Alive! appeared first on Wonder & Reality.
The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers
12 Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to [a]vinedressers and went into a far country. 2 Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers. 3 And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Again he sent them another servant, [b]and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. 5 And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some. 6 Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 But those [c]vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 8 So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 “Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not even read this Scripture:
‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
11 This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

John 7:16-24: Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” 20 The people answered and said, “You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?” 21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:16-24).
Note: Jim is ill with a bad cold. Please pray for his recovery. Thank you. John 6:1-14: "After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. 7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” 8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” 10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” 13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” (John 6:1-14).

John 5:23-47: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. The Fourfold Witness 31 “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not [e]true. 32 There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. 41 “I do not receive honor from men. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” (John 5:23-47).

Parable of the Wheat and the Tares & the Explanation (Matthew 13:24-30,36-42)
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
36b And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” 37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Jesus is the Treasure . . . Man was Born to Know Him & Fellowship with Him
Did you know . . .
Man was born to fellowship with God . . . forever.
The supreme end of man is to know Him.
The end result is fellowship . . . with the only true God . . . the Father, Jesus & the Holy Spirit.
Those who make it to heaven will fellowship with Him, forever.
What is He like?
He is the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe.
He is glorious beyond description . . . He is beyond words . . .
He is the treasure spoke about (Matthew 13:44-46).
Jesus Christ is the Son of God and . . . the Lord God Almighty.
He is the unsearchable, eternal, infinite, unlimited treasure.
Jesus knocks on the door of every person’s heart. He who opens the door, Jesus will, ultimately, fellowship with him. He calls it “dine/sup with him” (Revelation 3:20).
Jesus becomes that person’s food, drink, water . . . their everything (John 6).
When someone is born of water and the Spirit, the second phase of knowing God, they enter the kingdom of God and can begin to know His glory (John 3:5).
Tragically, as Jesus revealed, most people will not get saved (Matthew 7:13-14). They miss out on eternal life, heaven, and . . . fellowship with God.
Fellowship is the fourth phase of knowing Him: the anointing (John 7:37-39).
Every believer has the anointing in their spirit person (1 John 2:20). They have the glory of God within them – and all around them (Psalm 139:7-10).
The anointing, the presence of Jesus, is beyond words.
For all eternity, those in heaven will never be able to express Him in words.
Even unbelievers are surrounded by God’s glory, though they do not realize it.
God made them in His image.
Jesus died for them.
God wants them to spend eternity in heaven.
The choice between God and self is up to them.
It is a mystery of the kingdom that God would give Himself to every person, in the way that He does.
To think that God would offer to fellowship with a person is an unspeakable mystery.
The only true God offers and gives Himself in totality to the world and to every person, for eternity.
He believes in every person. All He asks is that a person believe in Him.
Tragically, those who say no to Him face an eternity in the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41).
Those who say yes to Him will fellowship with Him, forever.
Lord, continue to send revival. Send out laborers to the harvest. Thank you Jesus!
John 14:1-11: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves" (John 14:1-11).

John 17:1-10: Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. Jesus Prays for His Disciples 6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. 9 “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.

https://receivejesuschrist.com/ https://heaven-or-hell.org/ From Isaiah 11: "There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. 2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. 3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears; 4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist. 6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea" (Isaiah 11:1-9).

Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
Every person will spend eternity in either heaven or hell.
Those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior, whose names are in the Book of Life, will spend eternity in heaven.
Heaven is God’s home, filled with the glorious splendor of God’s majesty, the presence of Jesus.
Those whose names are not in the Book of Life, who do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior, will spend eternity in the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Why? God made man into His own image and likeness. Therefore, humans are eternal.
Since man is made in His image, humans have choice. God cannot make anyone choose Him. Every person chooses between God and self.
To learn why hell exists, visit this page.
God loves the world so much, He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for the world. Anyone who believes in Jesus has eternal life and will live forever.
Jesus Christ is Lord
Jesus is the Son of God and the Lord God Almighty.
Those who know Him have eternal life, which is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent (John 17:3).
They believe in God through His Son Jesus.
If they continue on with Jesus, they will live forever.
Outside of Jesus, there is nothing.
Apart from Jesus, someone can do nothing.
Without Jesus, someone has nothing. Even if they gain the whole world, they possess nothing.
Without Jesus, a person is spiritually dead. If they die without Jesus Christ, they go to eternal death.
Eternal life continues forever in heaven, a place of absolute glory.
Heaven is God’s home, full of the glorious splendor of His majesty and infinitely more.
Those who know Jesus as Lord have the divine nature and life of God.
They have the supernatural, abundant, zoe life.
They have the Almighty God living in and through them – and all around them.
Those who know Jesus can accomplish things that will last forever. They can store up treasures in heaven. They can do even greater things than Jesus did.
Eternal death continues forever in hell, the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
How can someone be saved and find eternal life?
It’s simple. Just say yes to Jesus. Receive Him as Lord and Savior. It’s what every person was created and born to do.
A life with Jesus Christ is an eternal celebration.

Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
Every person will spend eternity in either heaven or hell.
Those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior, whose names are in the Book of Life, will spend eternity in heaven.
Heaven is God’s home, filled with the glorious splendor of God’s majesty, the presence of Jesus.
Those whose names are not in the Book of Life, who do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior, will spend eternity in the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Why? God made man into His own image and likeness. Therefore, humans are eternal.
Since man is made in His image, humans have choice. God cannot make anyone choose Him. Every person chooses between God and self.
To learn why hell exists, visit this page.
God loves the world so much, He sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for the world. Anyone who believes in Jesus has eternal life and will live forever.
Jesus Christ is Lord
Jesus is the Son of God and the Lord God Almighty.
Those who know Him have eternal life, which is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent (John 17:3).
They believe in God through His Son Jesus.
If they continue on with Jesus, they will live forever.
Outside of Jesus, there is nothing.
Apart from Jesus, someone can do nothing.
Without Jesus, someone has nothing. Even if they gain the whole world, they possess nothing.
Without Jesus, a person is spiritually dead. If they die without Jesus Christ, they go to eternal death.
Eternal life continues forever in heaven, a place of absolute glory.
Heaven is God’s home, full of the glorious splendor of His majesty and infinitely more.
Those who know Jesus as Lord have the divine nature and life of God.
They have the supernatural, abundant, zoe life.
They have the Almighty God living in and through them – and all around them.
Those who know Jesus can accomplish things that will last forever. They can store up treasures in heaven. They can do even greater things than Jesus did.
Eternal death continues forever in hell, the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
How can someone be saved and find eternal life?
It’s simple. Just say yes to Jesus. Receive Him as Lord and Savior. It’s what every person was created and born to do.
A life with Jesus Christ is an eternal celebration.

Humans Were Born to Fellowship with Jesus Christ
Did you know . . .
Humans were born to fellowship with God . . . forever.
The supreme end of man is to know Him.
The divine destination is fellowship . . . with the only true God . . . the Father, Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit.
Those who make it to heaven will fellowship with Him, forever.
What is He like?
He is the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe.
His presence is His glory . . . the glorious splendor of His majesty . . . the presence of God . . . the presence of Jesus.
God created man to know Him and . . . to fellowship with Him.
When Jesus revealed the parable of treasure in a field, He was speaking about the presence of God, the Holy Spirit . . . the presence of Jesus (Matthew 13:44).
Jesus knocks on the door of every person’s heart (Revelation 3:20).
He who opens the door, Jesus will, ultimately, fellowship with him. He calls it “dine/sup with him” (Revelation 3:20).
Jesus becomes that person’s food, drink, water . . . their everything (John 6).
When someone is born of water and the Spirit, the second phase of knowing God, they enter the kingdom of God and can begin to know His glory (John 3:5).
Tragically, as Jesus revealed, most people will not get saved (Matthew 7:13-14). They miss out on eternal life, heaven, and . . . fellowship with God.
Fellowship is the fourth phase of knowing Him: the anointing (John 7:37-39).
Every believer has the anointing in their spirit person (1 John 2:20). They have the glory of God within them – and all around them (Psalm 139:7-10). When someone is born again, the greatest miracle, their spirit person is alive through the power of God.
The anointing, the presence of Jesus, is beyond words.
There are many mysteries surrounding the anointing.
The anointing, like everything in our most holy faith, is an eternal revelation.
For all eternity, those in heaven will never be able to express the Lord God Almighty in words.
Even unbelievers are surrounded by God’s glory, though they do not realize it.
God made them in His image.
Jesus died for them.
God wants them to spend eternity in heaven.
The choice between God and self is up to them.
It is a mystery of the kingdom that God would give Himself to every person, in the way that He does.
To think that God would offer to fellowship with a person is an unspeakable mystery.
The only true God offers and gives Himself in totality to the world and to every person, for eternity.
He believes in every person. All He asks is that a person believe in Him.
Tragically, those who say no to Him face an eternity in the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41).
Those who say yes to Him will fellowship with Him, forever.
Lord, continue to send revival. Send out laborers to the harvest. Thank you Jesus!

For all eternity, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ will be honored, revered, proclaimed and infinitely more.
God gave and sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for the world.
Jesus gave His life and died for the life of the world.
Only one faith has a Savior who died for the world.
Only one God loves the world so much that He gave His only Son and sent Him to the earth to save and redeem mankind.
God came to earth as a man and justified Himself to the world.
In fact, He did something even more sacrificial than coming to the earth Himself. He sent His only begotten Son to die for the world. Whosoever believes in the Lord Jesus shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Yet, He was hated, betrayed, condemned, and rejected.
He was beaten again and again, scourged, whipped, and flogged to the point of death.
He was brutally whipped 39 times. The instrument had thongs with metal hooks and pottery shards, designed to tear the flesh to the bone. Forty lashes was designed to kill someone.
A crown of thorns was placed on His head. His head was beaten with a heavy wooden stick.
He was mocked, ridiculed, spit upon, and slapped on the face.
He was insulted, taunted, reviled, and blasphemed.
They drove four nails through his hands and feet.
He was crucified on a cross for six hours, one of the most brutal forms of execution. He was killed. He was executed.
Jesus shed His blood seven times and was the perfect sacrifice.
He rose from the dead, ascended to heaven and lives forevermore.
Jesus Christ is the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world.
Whosoever relies on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He is the only way to life and heaven.

God’s Love and Man’s Response
In the Bible, in human history, and in the world today, a pattern is revealed:
God’s love and mercy . . . and man’s selfish, foolish response – and worse.
God gives Himself to every person.
He gives Himself through His Son Jesus Christ.
Man has a choice: God or self.
Tragically, most people choose self.
Yet, God is available.
He is even more than available: Jesus Christ, the Lord God Almighty, knocks on the door of every person’s heart (Revelation 3:20).
He wants every person to choose Him . . . to choose Jesus Christ . . . and live forever in heaven, which is filled with His glorious presence, the presence of Jesus.
This pattern is clearly revealed in the Bible, including the first two books, Genesis and Exodus.
This website has some summaries of famous stories in the Bible; of man’s response to Jesus Christ the man; and more.
Again and again, man chooses self. Another pattern emerges: often, man is very sinful, rebellious, corrupt, evil and and even violent.
It is only the love, mercy, and grace of God through Jesus Christ that man is saved.

God has given every person a choice. The choice is between God and self. This choice determines a person’s eternal destiny: heaven or hell. God created man into His own image and likeness. He gave man a free will. The first person God created was given the choice. The two trees mentioned specifically in Genesis represented the choice between God and self. Choosing God results in eternal life. Choosing self results in eternal death. Tragically, most of the 108 billion-plus people throughout history have chosen self. Those who choose self miss heaven. Heaven is God’s home, full of the glorious splendor of His majesty, and infinitely more. Eternal death continues forever in hell, the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Those in heaven will fellowship with God, with Jesus Christ, forever. They will have and be everything they want, need, desire, long for and hope for. They will have fullness of love, faith, joy, peace, happiness and infinitely more. They will worship, serve and learn from the Father and Jesus, discover and experience the mysteries and secrets of the kingdom of heaven, minister to others, grow, and eternally more, forever. They will live in mansions, walk on streets of gold and live in the spectacular beauty and majesty of heaven. They will celebrate the Lord Jesus forever, praise and worship God, be in awe of their Father’s glorious presence and home, and infinitely more. Jesus will shepherd and feed them. He will lead them to living fountains of waters. The Holy Spirit will live within and with them, forever. They will drink freely of the fountain of the water of life. They will eat delicious fruit from beautiful trees. They will enjoy the stunning beauty in heaven, of homes, buildings, mountains, hills, fields, trees, flowers, grass and more . . . and most of all, the Father God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. They will attend thrilling worship services. Their praise and worship will literally be collected and presented before God. They will never hunger or thirst. They will never have sorrow, sadness or pain. God will wipe away all their tears. There will be no more death, sorrow or crying.
The unsaved, those who do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of life, will spend eternity in hell, in the lake of fire. They will be tormented with fire, brimstone and burning sulfur, forever. The smoke of their torment will ascend forever and ever. They have no rest day or night. The lost souls in hell burn in fire forever. Their flesh literally burns and falls off their bodies. Worms and maggots crawl inside them. Hell is a place of continual fire, torment, loud wailing, weeping, screaming, and gnashing of teeth. The lost souls feel and know everything going on. They remember their life on earth and how they could have repented. They suffer a literal eternal death. Human beings exist forever, because we are eternal beings, made in God’s image. Their souls exist forever. Jesus Christ spoke about hell often in the gospels, in: Matthew 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 11:23; 12:40; 16:18; 18:9; 23:15; 23:33; 25:41; Mark 9:44,46,48; and Luke 16:19-31. Hell is currently located in the center of the earth. At the end times, it will be thrown into the lake of fire. In hell, a person has ALL their senses – sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch – and all five are a lot stronger there. The spirit realm is on a much higher level than the natural realm.
Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Receive the glorious Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ. Spend eternity in heaven.
Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:7, Genesis 2:15-17, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 25:41, John 14:2, Gospel of John, Revelation 4:14, Revelation 7:17, Revelation 13:11, Revelation 21, Revelation 20:15, Matthew 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 11:23; 12:40; 16:18; 18:9; 23:15; 23:33; 25:41; Mark 9:44,46,48; and Luke 16:19-31.
In the Bible, the numbers seven and three speak of completion and perfection, among eternal revelation regarding these numbers.
Seven Covenants; and every one has three conditions – one covenant with three people: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Seven stations in the tabernacle; in three sections Seven Feasts; in three seasons Jesus shed His blood seven times; in three “groups”: 1. Four times before the cross 2. Twice on the cross before He died 3. Once after He died 7,000 Years of Human history; in three eras: 1. 4,000 years from Adam to Jesus 2. 2,000 years from Jesus to the Millenium 3. The Millenium

God has chosen to give Himself to mankind. He gives Himself through His Son Jesus Christ. God has offered His glory to every person. He and His glory are inexpressible. His glory and light is so powerful, if someone receives Him, they will live forever. God has chosen to give Himself in totality to every person, forever. He has chosen to give every person the totality of all that they are. He has chosen to believe in every person, more than they can comprehend. There is one choice He cannot and will not make for a person: the choice to believe in Him.
Water
"Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar" Ezekiel 47:1-2
-
Water flows out – God is always blessing people. God’s love is given out in unselfish mercy.
-
Under threshold – the anointing flows from a consecrated heart that is dead to self; from a lowly heart.
-
From the sanctuary – a sacred, separated, holy, divine place. We must be separated from sinful uses and dedicated to God
-
East, the sunrise – the river is of the morning, not the night. The river represents the new life, not the old.
-
Deeper near the Dead Sea – when we are near the lost and needy, the anointing is stronger.
-
Deep river that could not be passed over; no man could cross it; an angel brought Ezekiel across the river –
-
Waters shall be healed; fishermen fishing – this will literally happen in the millennium. He saw trees – the body of Christ. The leaves of the trees heal the world.
Today, if you will hear His voice: 8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the [c]rebellion, As in the day of [d]trial in the wilderness, 9 When your fathers tested Me; They tried Me, though they saw My work. 10 For forty years I was [e]grieved with that generation, And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.’ 11 So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ” Psalm 95:8-11
Notice some of the ways His offer is described in the Bible: “The glorious splendor of Your majesty” . . . “A treasure hidden in a field, which a man goes and digs up again and again” . . . “The riches of the glory of the mystery” . . . (Psalm 145:5, MT 13:44-46, Colossians 1:27). What is the Father, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit like? “On the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works, will I meditate” (Psalm 145:5). “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold/gaze at/see the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire/seek Him in His temple” (Psalm 27:4, various translations). Some translations, in place of beauty, say “splendor, delightfulness, sweetness, perfections, graciousness, goodness.” For Lord, some translations are “Lord Jehovah, Jehovah, Yahweh.” The Father . . . the Lord Jesus . . . the Holy Spirit is indeed the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe. His presence is . . . the glory of the Lord. When we go deeper with Him in the power of the Holy Spirit, and we experience His presence and glory, He is the only One we will want.
The Holy Spirit Reveals Jesus
And the Holy Spirit reveals who Jesus is. He’s the savior. He’s the Son of God. He’s our master and friend. And infinitely more. And He is the Lord God Almighty. Yet, Jesus Himself said, “My Father . . . is greater than all,” and “My Father is greater than I” (John 10:29, John 14:28).
The Trinity
It is an eternal mystery . . . the Father, Son and Holy Spirit . . . the trinity . . . one God . . . three Persons. They are one, yet they are separate and distinct Persons. The Holy Spirit reveals this mystery (Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 2:10).
So when someone knows Jesus, they have a relationship with the Lord God Almighty. Knowing Him is the greatest and highest privilege for a human. Another mystery is that it’s up to a person what they do with that relationship. Why is it like that? Because God made man into His image and likeness and gave us a free will (Genesis 1:27, 2:7). God cannot make anyone follow Him or do anything. Within knowing Him, He offers priceless results found only in Him, some of which are below. Experts have found more than 7,000 promises to mankind in the Bible. But let’s always remember: He Himself, His presence and His glory are the answer. He is the answer: the only true God through Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Everything a person wants, needs, desires and longs for, is found in Him. When someone finds Him, all the things listed below are a natural result.
So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:16-21).
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before [c]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second [d]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15

Jesus, the Exact Representation of God’s Nature
“. . . His Son . . . [is] . . . the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person” (Hebrews 1:3).
The Lord Jesus cannot be expressed fully in words. The same is true for the Father. His glory is so powerful and strong, no man can see Him and live (Exodus 33:20). He told Moses that he, Moses, cannot see His face, for no man can see Him and live. God set up the perfect plan. He sent His only Son to the earth to save and redeem mankind. He sent Jesus to offer life to the world. Then, He sent the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ. What a wonderful, perfect, glorious plan!
Jesus: the Exact Representation of God’s Nature
Again, when we try to “express” or “explain” Jesus Christ, there are no words to express Him fully, neither His Person nor His glory. Jesus is an eternal revelation, just as the Father is an eternal revelation. The New Testament letters are an attempt to “summarize” or “explain” Jesus Christ, our most holy faith, and much more. A great concise summary is found in Hebrews 1:3. Notice that there are two parts to the short “explanation: or “summary” of Jesus:
Jesus is: 1. The brightness of God’s glory 2. The express image of God’s person
Therefore, there is the glory of Jesus. And there is His Person. The glory of Jesus Christ is inexpressible. The Person of Jesus Christ is inexpressible.
Jesus, the Son of God
Who is Jesus? He is the Son of God. God so loved the world He gave His Son, that whoever believes in Him shall find eternal life. Jesus spoke and taught very clearly about His Father and their relationship. He will forever be the Son of God. The Father even spoke from heaven, twice, audibly saying, “This is My Beloved Son.” Amen, and amen.
Jesus Christ, God Almighty
Jesus Christ is also the Lord God Almighty. The Holy Spirit reveals this wondrous, glorious, eternal revelation . . . that Jesus Christ is God. This revelation is also beyond human words. A great man of God (John Wesley) summarized Jesus in this way: God came to earth as a man and justified Himself to the world.
God Loves the World
Someone may ask, “Why is it all about Jesus?” The answer is of course an eternal revelation and mystery. God is love. Jesus is love. God so loved the world . . . He sent Jesus to save mankind . . . to die for the world. The gospel is God’s love story for the world. The gospel is beyond human words or explanation. What God the Father and His Son have done and are doing – and will do for eternity – is beyond human comprehension. The revelation that God is one – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and yet they are separate and distinct Persons . . . is truly beyond our limited understanding. He is beyond us . . . He is an eternal revelation.
Some Translations
Some of the various translations of Hebrews 1:3 are below. Some examples of translations include: Jesus is the exact imprint of God’s nature He is the exact likeness of God’s being.
Other translations:
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature” (ESV).
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature” (Berean Study & others).
“His Son . . . [is] . . . the radiance of His glory and the exact expression of His substance” (Berean Literal).
“God's Son has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in every way” (Good News).
“Who being the brightness of his glory” (KJV)
“For he is the Brilliance of his glory” (Aramaic Bible)
“His Son is the reflection of God's glory” (GWT).
“He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact likeness of his being” (ISV).
“The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence” (NET).
“He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being” (Weymouth).
Jesus is so glorious, He is beyond human explanation and description. The only true God – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is an eternal mystery, reality and revelation. The greatest privilege for mankind is knowing God. Someone may ask, what is God like? He is the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe.
God has given every person a choice. The choice is between God and self. This choice determines a person’s eternal destiny: heaven or hell. God created man into His own image and likeness. He gave man a free will. The first person God created was given the choice. The two trees mentioned specifically in Genesis represented the choice between God and self. Choosing God results in eternal life. Choosing self results in eternal death. Tragically, most of the 108 billion-plus people throughout history have chosen self. Those who choose self miss heaven. Heaven is God’s home, full of the glorious splendor of His majesty, and infinitely more. Eternal death continues forever in hell, the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Those in heaven will fellowship with God, with Jesus Christ, forever. They will have and be everything they want, need, desire, long for and hope for. They will have fullness of love, faith, joy, peace, happiness and infinitely more. They will worship, serve and learn from the Father and Jesus, discover and experience the mysteries and secrets of the kingdom of heaven, minister to others, grow, and eternally more, forever. They will live in mansions, walk on streets of gold and live in the spectacular beauty and majesty of heaven. They will celebrate the Lord Jesus forever, praise and worship God, be in awe of their Father’s glorious presence and home, and infinitely more. Jesus will shepherd and feed them. He will lead them to living fountains of waters. The Holy Spirit will live within and with them, forever. They will drink freely of the fountain of the water of life. They will eat delicious fruit from beautiful trees. They will enjoy the stunning beauty in heaven, of homes, buildings, mountains, hills, fields, trees, flowers, grass and more . . . and most of all, the Father God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. They will attend thrilling worship services. Their praise and worship will literally be collected and presented before God. They will never hunger or thirst. They will never have sorrow, sadness or pain. God will wipe away all their tears. There will be no more death, sorrow or crying.
The unsaved, those who do not know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of life, will spend eternity in hell, in the lake of fire. They will be tormented with fire, brimstone and burning sulfur, forever. The smoke of their torment will ascend forever and ever. They have no rest day or night. The lost souls in hell burn in fire forever. Their flesh literally burns and falls off their bodies. Worms and maggots crawl inside them. Hell is a place of continual fire, torment, loud wailing, weeping, screaming, and gnashing of teeth. The lost souls feel and know everything going on. They remember their life on earth and how they could have repented. They suffer a literal eternal death. Human beings exist forever, because we are eternal beings, made in God’s image. Their souls exist forever. Jesus Christ spoke about hell often in the gospels, in: Matthew 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 11:23; 12:40; 16:18; 18:9; 23:15; 23:33; 25:41; Mark 9:44,46,48; and Luke 16:19-31. Hell is currently located in the center of the earth. At the end times, it will be thrown into the lake of fire. In hell, a person has ALL their senses – sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch – and all five are a lot stronger there. The spirit realm is on a much higher level than the natural realm.
Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Receive the glorious Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ. Spend eternity in heaven.

God Chooses
Summary: God has chosen to offer Himself to mankind. His offer is an unsearchable, unspeakable mystery. In offering Himself, God gives to every person in an infinite number of ways. How so? He has offered Himself to every person for eternity. He has offered Himself to a person for an infinite number of moments.
God makes millions of choices in relation to one person. Just as God give to someone for eternity, He gives to them in their earthly life. His gifts really are beyond human words. He gives a person His son, Jesus Christ. He gives them the Holy Spirit. He gives them Himself. It’s a person’s choice to receive Him or not. Just as God gives in the spiritual, He gives in the natural realm. God makes millions upon millions of choices in relation to an individual person He chose to create them. He chooses to: sustain them, give them breath, keep them alive, give them every good thing in the natural realm, give them every good thing in the spiritual realm. He chose to give them a soul that is priceless and made in His image and likeness. Their soul is worth more than the world and everything in it. He chose to give them faith, eternity in their heart, and the ability to choose. He gave them a free will. He chose to give them a will, emotions and an intellect. He gave them the ability to choose between love and hate, faith and fear, hope and despair. It goes on and on. God chose to give a person their life and soul. He chooses to keep them alive. God chooses to love them. God chose to give His Son to them. God chose to send and give Jesus to die for them. Man chooses between God or self; God or something else.

Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:7, Genesis 2:15-17, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 25:41, John 14:2, Gospel of John, Revelation 4:14, Revelation 7:17, Revelation 13:11, Revelation 21, Revelation 20:15, Matthew 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 11:23; 12:40; 16:18; 18:9; 23:15; 23:33; 25:41; Mark 9:44,46,48; and Luke 16:19-31.
Did you know that God’s presence, His glory, is everywhere on the earth. Everywhere a person goes, God‘s presence, glory and power is there. His presence is so wonderful and beautiful, human words can never express Him. This presence is what Jesus spoke about in the parable of the the treasure in a field. A man found the treasure and sold everything he had and bought the field. It’s the presence of God, the presence of Jesus, the Holy Spirit. Someone who is born again has the opportunity to experience and know His presence and glory. Their spirit person is alive and “connected” to God, because God is everywhere. If they do not feel His presence, they just need to go deeper and into the subsequent phases of knowing God. As they do, they will begin to know His glory. There are four phases of knowing God (John 3,4 & 7). When someone meets Him, He is the only One they will desire. As they go deeper, they will be losing their “old nature,” also called “the flesh.” It all starts with salvation, the greatest miracle. A born again believer’s spirit person is alive because of God’s power. When a person is born again, Jesus Christ lives in and through them. And, the presence of God, of Jesus Christ, is all around them, everywhere they go. In Him we live and move and have our being. If someone’s not born again, their spirit person is not alive. Therefore they cannot know or understand the things of God – and especially not His presence. What is our “spirit person?” It is the real us. Scripture calls it our “innermost being,” “heart” and “inner man.” A person’s physical body is shaped just like their spirit person. Our spirit person is in the image and likeness of God Almighty. We are a spirit person. We have a soul. We live in a body, on the earth. We are a trinity, just like God. Anyone who makes it to heaven will live in their spirit person for eternity, in the inexpressible glory of God in heaven. Heaven and earth are filled with His glory. However, tragically, Jesus revealed that most people will not get saved (Matthew 7:13-14). They will not know, understand or receive His presence, which is available to every person, all the time. If they do not find Jesus as Lord and Savior, they face an eternity in hell, the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Revelation 20:15, Matthew 25:41). Sadly, most believers in Jesus do not know or understand His presence and glory. Why not? They are saved, which is great! But they only stay in the initial phase of knowing Him, the born again phase. They have not yet been “born of water and the Spirit” (John 3:5). His presence is the absolute key to our walk with Him. When we meet Him, we will find all that we want, need, desire, long for and hope for. The truth is that knowing God is easy and simple. Many think it is complicated. But Jesus Himself said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He said we must become like a child to enter the kingdom. His presence, His glory, is what makes walking with Him easy, simple, glorious and infinitely more. Because He is everywhere, any person, at any time, if they humble themselves and repent, can “get right with God.” They can receive what they need, and what He offers, whether it’s salvation, the infilling of the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, miracles, and infinitely more.
Thank you Jesus for dying for us and saving us! Amen.

Jesus died for the world. God loves the world.
God’s Power and Divine Nature are Clear and Obvious. Man is without Excuse (Romans 1:20)
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse . . .” (Romans 1:20).
“For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections – namely His eternal power and divine nature – have been rendered intelligible/clear/obvious and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20, Weymouth).
Jesus Christ is God
Jesus believes in you. Jesus is God. He is the Son of God . . . and the Lord God Almighty.
God became a man
God became a man, Jesus Christ, died for the world, and justified Himself to all mankind. In fact, God did something even more sacrificial than coming to the earth Himself. He sent His only begotten Son to die for the world. Whosoever believes in the Lord Jesus shall not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Jesus Christ reveals God and God's love for the world. Jesus is the revelation of God (John 1). He is the exact representation of God's nature. Jesus is the image of the invisible God. Before He came to earth as Jesus Christ, God Almighty at various times visited and revealed Himself to man. These visits and visions, recorded in the Bible, all reveal the only true God. At the appointed time, God the Father sent His Son Jesus Christ to the earth to save and redeem man. God has revealed Himself to mankind through His Son. Before the world was, Jesus Christ was with and alongside the Father. After Jesus rose the dead, He ascended to heaven and returned to His previous place and glory with the Father. For all eternity, those who make it to heaven will be in awe of the only true God – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – who has offered Himself to mankind.
(Scripture references are below) We hide, but He calls out to us. We chose self instead of Him, but He already had a plan of salvation. All who look upon Him, live. He’s the God who heals you. He loves you with an everlasting love. When you call to Him, He shows you great and mighty things which you do not know. His faithful love endures forever. He numbers your wanderings and sorrows. He collects your tears in a bottle. He records them all in His book. Before a word is on your tongue, He knows it altogether. He’s all around you. Everywhere you go, He’s there. He’s within you. He’s laid His hand upon you. He’s inscribed you on the palms of His hands. Not even a sparrow falls the ground apart from His will. He knows what you have need of before you ask. Where two or more are gathered together in His name, He is there. When you ask for the Holy Spirit, He gives Him to you. He prays to the Father to send you another Helper. He spoke these things that His joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. He shed His blood seven times for you. He died that you might live. He chose you before the foundation of the world. He wrote your name in the book of life. He is with you always, even to the end of the age. He lives with and in you, forever.

Jesus Died for the World
The sacrifice of Jesus reveals God’s love for mankind. If God gave Jesus to the world; and if Jesus died for the world, then God has also revealed His love in many other ways . . . and in an infinite number of ways.
God Created Every Person
God gave every person their life (Psalm 139). He created them in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:27, 2:7). He created their soul, which is priceless and worth more than the world and everything in it (Matthew 16:26). He keeps them alive, every second of their life.
God Gives
God has given every person everything they need to survive, including: the sun, air, water, food, family, friends and infinitely more. God has also given every person every good thing they have. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17).
God Has Made Knowing Him Simple and Easy
Everything about knowing God is simple and easy, revealing God’s love for mankind. It’s so simple, we must become like a child (Matthew 18:3). It is easy to find and know Him. How is it simple and easy? God is everywhere. He’s always available . . . to every person, all the time . . . for all eternity. He’s available for an infinite number of moments.
He Knocks on the Door of Every Person’s Heart
God is more than just available. How so? He knocks on the door of every person’s heart (Revelation 3:20). In a person’s entire life (from age 6 or 7 and up), God has knocked on the door of their heart every second.
Some of God’s Attributes
God is always giving (John 3:16, 14:16, 16:8). He is always blessing (Matthew 5:3-12). He is always kind, even to the unthankful and evil (Luke 6:35). He is always speaking (Psalm 95:7d, John 10:27). He is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in goodness and lovingkindness, abounding in truth and faithfulness (Exodus 34:7, various translations).
Jesus is love Sent from above Gave his body Shed his blood

Jesus is love Sent from above Baptized with a dove More than enough
No greater love Than our great God
Always the same Calls us by name Always able to save Ever lives to pray
Jesus is love Sent from above Gave his body Shed his blood
No greater love Than our great God
The Seven Stations of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25-30)
The seven stations represent seven revelations of Jesus Christ. They are also seven revelations regarding entering into the Holy of Holies, the presence of the Lord God Almighty. The tabernacle is an earthly pattern of a heavenly tabernacle. The tabernacle is a pattern of prayer.
The gate – Jesus, the door Altar of sacrifice – Jesus, the Lamb of God Laver – Jesus, the word of God and the living water Table of showbread – Jesus, the bread of life Gold candlestick – Jesus, the light of the world Altar of incense – Jesus, the presence of God; our intercessor Ark of the covenant – Jesus, the glory of God
The Location of the Stations:
The gate Outer Court – altar of sacrifice; laver The Holy Place – table of showbread; gold candlestick; altar of incense The Holy of Holies – the ark of the covenant
Jesus said, "I am the door of the sheep" (John 10:7).
Jesus said, “I am the door” (John 10:9).
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me” (Revelation 3:20).
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock” (Matthew 7:24-25).
“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19).
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things." Roman 1:20-23
The Helper
The Holy Spirit is the Helper, the Comforter.
Jesus revealed God’s perfect plan for mankind, recorded in John. He spoke about the Helper four times, in John 14, 15 & 16.
The name “Helper” is also translated Comforter, Counselor, Advocate, Intercessor. “Helper” in the Greek is paráklētos, or paraclete, which means “One called alongside to help.”
The four times Jesus spoke about the Helper:
- “I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper” (John 14:16).
- “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name” (John 14:26).
- “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father” (John 15:26).
- “If I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you” (John 16:7).
Summary: 1. Jesus prays, the Father sends the Helper. 2. The Father sends the Helper in Jesus’ name. 3. Jesus sends the Helper from the Father. 4. Jesus sends the Helper.
These four revelations coincide with the four phases of knowing God:
- Born again (John 3:3)
- Born of water and the Spirit (John 3:5-8), also called the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
- Drink living water, it becomes a fountain springing up into everlasting life (John 4:13-14), also called the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- Come to Jesus, drink the living water, believe in Him, rivers of living water will flow out of your innermost being (John 7:37-38), the anointing.
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever – the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you (John 14:16-17).
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26).
But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning (John 15:26-27).
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you” (John 16:7).
"I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. 19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. 20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches." Revelation 1:10-20
Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them. Jesus the Good Shepherd 7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:1-10
Jesus said, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10
"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before [c]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second [d]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:11-15
Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20
Jesus said, "Only/Just believe" (Mark 5:36). If someone receives the revelation of these words, they can receive eternal life, which is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent (John 17:3) . . . the Father, Son and Holy Spirit . . . the Father God Almighty, the great and awesome God of the universe . . . His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ . . . the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ . . .
They can experience . . . the glorious splendor of His majesty . . . His . . . glory . . . beauty . . . magnificence . . . radiance . . . love . . . mercy . . . graciousness . . . giving nature . . . longsuffering nature . . . goodness . . . lovingkindness . . . truth . . . faithfulness . . . righteousness . . . infinite power . . . eternal, everlasting life . . . the divine nature . . . fullness of love . . . fullness of joy; joy unspeakable and full of glory . . . pleasures forevermore . . . perfect peace . . . happiness . . . faith . . . . hope of glory . . . harmony . . . purpose . . . prosperity . . . divine health . . .
They can be blessed, favored and fortunate . . . live forever in glory . . . never see death . . . and infinitely more.
Jesus said, "Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He [a]should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." John 17:1-5
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. Revelation 21:9-13
Jesus Christ is God and the Son of God
Jesus Christ is the Lord God Almighty. And, Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And, He is infinitely, eternally more. Amen!
The following is impossible to put into human words, but it is an attempt: The revelation of the only true God, the great God Jehovah, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is certainly the most important revelation in the universe. Within that revelation, the revelation of Jesus is also the most important revelation in the universe.
A person’s eternal destiny depends on their response to the only true God’s offer of Himself through Jesus Christ. God has offered the Lord Jesus to every person. It is the greatest and only offer to mankind. God wants to save all people. He wants everyone to spend eternity with Him in heaven (2 Peter 3:9 & others). The tragedy is that most people will not find Jesus as Lord and Savior. If anyone says no to Jesus, God cannot do anything more for them. God has done everything He can do to save mankind. He sent His only Son to the earth to die for the world! Jesus rose from the dead and lives forevermore. God sent the Holy Spirit to the earth. Jesus – the Lord God Almighty – is available to every person, all the time, everywhere they go, for all eternity! What else could God do for mankind?
How Can Jesus be Both God and the Son of God?
Who are we to question God? One should never cross-question God Almighty. We should honor and fear Him. We should humble ourselves before Him.
We should be in awe of Him. We should be in awe of His offer of Himself through Jesus!
Objections
Some object and say, “Jesus cannot be both God and the Son of God . . .” and “Jesus was a man but he cannot be God also . . .” and other similar objections. Those who object are a son. Every person on earth has parents. And they also may be a father – they might have a child or children. So, which are they, a son or a father? They are both. And, they are many others things, potentially a: brother, grandfather, friend, nephew, uncle, citizen (of a place), professional, student, hobbyist, and many other “titles.” So it is with Jesus Christ. He has many, many names and titles. How is it that man has numerous “titles?” Because God created man into His own image and likeness. God has many, many names, offices, titles and descriptions, and so it is with man.
In the Bible, and in God’s plan for mankind, the number seven speaks of redemption, completion, and perfection. Below are some revelations of God’s glorious plan for humanity, confirmed with the symbolism of the number seven:
God created the world in seven days (Genesis 1)
Seven thousand years of human history
Seven covenants
Seven ages of the church (Revelation 1:4)
Seven each of every clean animal into the ark for sacrifice (Genesis 7:2)
Priest sprinkled the leper with blood seven times and with oil seven times (Leviticus 14)
Seven feasts (Leviticus 23)
Seven stations of the tabernacle: seven revelations of Jesus Christ
Seven manifestations of the Holy Spirit
Within the seven manifestations, Isaiah 11 reveals sevenfold revelations of the Holy Spirit
The seven “I am” revelations in the Gospel of John:
Jesus shed His blood seven times
Seven levels of faith
Seven Spirits of God:
“Seven lamps [torches] of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God” (Revelation 4:5).
Seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth:
In the midst of the throne, “stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth” (Revelation 5:6).
From Revelation: Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said [b]to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It[c] is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, [e]unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:1-8
And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 [Jesus] answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I [b]should heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
Jesus: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
God is love (1 John 4:8). How do we know that God is love? God has given His Son to the world (John 3:16, John 14:16). He sent His Son to die for humanity (John 6:38-40,51). God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (John 3:16a). Whoever believes in Jesus shall not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16b). Jesus Christ is the exact representation of God’s nature (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15). Jesus did exactly what the Father sent Him to do. He gave Himself to the world. He lived as a man on the earth. He fulfilled His human ministry. He sacrificed Himself for humanity. He gave His body for the life of the world (John 6:51). He died for humanity. He laid down His life and took it up again (John 10:18). He glorified the Father on the earth (John 17:4a). He finished the work the Father gave Him to do (John 17:4b). Jesus is one with the Father (John 10:30). Jesus is love.
Jesus said, "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is [g]good, your whole body will be full of light." Matthew 6:22
Jehovah Rapha – The Lord my Healer
“If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you” (Exodus 15:26).
"Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live’" (Numbers 21:8)
"And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you" (Deuteronomy 7:15).
"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; . . ." (Psalm 103:2-3).
"He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions" (Psalm 107:20).
"The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5b).
“‘For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,’ says the LORD” (Jeremiah 30:17).
“But to you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” (Malachi 4:2).
“’So that I should heal them’” (Isaiah 6:10, Matthew 13:15).
Only believe. Just believe. If someone receives the revelation of these words, they can know God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit . . . and have the opportunity to find and experience . . . the Father God Almighty, the great and awesome God of the universe . . . His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ . . . the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ . . . the glorious splendor of His majesty . . .

The presence of Jesus is priceless.
His presence is beyond human comprehension.
He is beyond human words.
Heaven is filled with His presence, His glory.
It’s the glory of God – the glory of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
What is God like?
He is the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe.
His glory is the anointing.
God’s glory is on and throughout the earth. He is available to every person, all the time.
His glory is worth more than all the earth and everything in it.
For all eternity, those who make it to heaven will be in awe of Him and His glory.
Every believer has the anointing within them. Their spirit person is alive through the power of God.
Even if they do not realize it, they have the presence of Jesus within them – the presence of the Almighty God.
The presence of Jesus within them is worth more than all the wealth of the earth, estimated to be $37 trillion dollars.
All that wealth is meaningless and nothing compared to the presence of Jesus.
Jesus is the only one who can give eternal life. Only through Him can someone be saved, be a child of God, live forever, find joy, peace, happiness, purpose, and infinitely more.
Outside of Jesus, there is nothing.
Apart from Jesus, a person can do nothing.
Without Jesus, someone has nothing.
Tragically, most people do not find the only true God and His Son Jesus.
If they die without Jesus, they will spend eternity in the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Sadly, most believers only stay in the first of four phases of knowing God: the born again phase. They do not enter the second phase: being “born of water and the Spirit.”
On earth, they likely will not experience the glorious presence of Jesus.
How does someone experience Him?
“You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).
Matthew 16:26, John 15:5, 1 John 2:20, Psalm 139, John 8:58, Matthew 25:41, Matthew 7:13-14, Jeremiah 29:13
"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said [b]to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:1-8

"You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13).
Matthew 16:26, John 15:5, 1 John 2:20, Psalm 139, John 8:58, Matthew 25:41, Matthew 7:13-14, John 3:5, Jeremiah 29:13
Sin and Sickness
We are a combination of spirit and soul/flesh, heaven and earth. Soul gets sinful. Body gets sick. Sin exists in the soul. Sickness exists in the body. Jesus saves the soul from sin. Jesus heals the body of sickness and disease. Jesus forgives. Jesus heals. Forgiveness and healing are twins. They are closely related. Sin and sickness are twins. They also are closely related.
The Messiah
The prophets predicted the Messiah would both forgive and heal. When we deny that he heals, we take away his title as Messiah. If we say he only saves, we take away his title. It’s the full gospel.
Jesus Forgives and Saves, and Jesus Heals
“When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses’” (Matthew 8:16-18). “‘But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins’ – then He said to the paralytic, ‘Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house’” (Matthew 9:6). “And the inhabitant will not say, ‘I am sick’; the people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity” (Isaiah 33:24). Jesus fulfilled this scripture. He forgave and healed. “. . . healing all manner of sickness and disease” (Matthew 4:23). “Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them’” (Matthew 11:5). “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" Revelation 3:20
The name “Jesus” in Hebrew literally means “God saves.” God sent Jesus to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). Jesus came to the earth to seek and to save that which was lost (Matthew 18:11, Luke 19:10). Jesus spoke and revealed truth to the people, that they may be saved (John 5:34). Jesus spoke and said what the Father commanded and told Him to speak and say (John 12:49-50). Jesus is the bread of life. The Father sent Jesus from heaven to give life to the world. Jesus gave His body on the cross and died for the world. If anyone eats Jesus’ flesh, he will live forever. As the living Father sent Jesus, and Jesus lives because of the Father, so he who eats Jesus’ flesh will live because of Jesus (John 6). Jesus is the door. If anyone enters by Him, he will be saved, and will go in and out freely and find pasture and spiritual security (John 10:9, NKJV & Amplified). Jesus is the good shepherd (John 10:11). He laid down His life for His sheep. He came to the earth that His people might have life and have it to an abundance, to the full, until it overflows (John 10:10). Jesus did not come to judge the world. Jesus came to save the world (John 12:47).
The only true God sits on the highest throne in the universe.
He is the great and awesome God, the Father God Almighty.
His glory flows from his throne, fills heaven, and is on and throughout all the earth.
At the right hand of His power is his Son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus was with the Father before the world was. He and the Father are one.
Their Spirit fills the heavens and the earth. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ.
Their presence, their glory, is so wonderful, so beautiful, human words cannot express Him.
For humans, the earth life is basically a temporary life before their eternity, in heaven or hell.
Our purpose, our mission, is to know Him and to fulfill the purpose He has for us on the earth. That purpose will continue in eternity.
A mystery is that God knows who will make it to heaven and who will not.
God knows and declares the end from the beginning. Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). The book of life was written before the world was (Luke 10:20, Revelation 17:8). The kingdom was prepared for God’s children before the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:34).
The saved are truly, unspeakably fortunate. God chose them to be His children before the foundation of the world. Such knowledge is too wonderful for us.
And yet, Jesus died for the world (John 3:16). God is not willing that any perish but that all come to everlasting life (2 Peter 3:9). He desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4).
Every child under the age of about five, who dies, goes directly to heaven, where they will live forever. People who have visited heaven confirm this truth.
How can this be? How can God know who will be saved . . . yet, Jesus died for the whole world, and it is up to man to choose whom they serve?
All these things are eternal mysteries, because our God is an eternal mystery and revelation. He’s beyond our human comprehension.
Jesus told His disciples, “Because to you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven . . .” (Matthew 13:11).
Everything about our most holy faith is a glorious mystery – and a present reality.
The Lord Jesus said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” God set up the perfect plan. The only true God is with His people, always . . . and forever (John 14:16).
God Almighty is a glorious eternal revelation. Yet, He offers Himself to every person. Knowing Him is the greatest privilege for mankind.
Bonus:
Saints are eternally secure in Him. In the Good Shepherd passage, Jesus revealed how secure we are: “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one” (John 10:28-30).
And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ Matthew 13:10-15
“On the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works, will I meditate” (Psalm 145:5). “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold/gaze at/see the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire/seek Him in His temple” (Psalm 27:4, various translations). Some translations, in place of beauty, say “splendor, delightfulness, sweetness, perfections, graciousness, goodness.” For Lord, some translations are “Lord Jehovah, Jehovah, Yahweh.” The only true God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe. His presence is . . . the glory of the Lord.
“On the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works, will I meditate” (Psalm 145:5).
Jesus said, "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field" (Matthew 13:44).
"The riches of the glory of the mystery” (Colossians 1:27).
The glory of the Lord is . . . the presence of Jesus Christ, the presence of God, the presence of the Father. He is indescribable. Amazingly, His presence, His glory, is everywhere on the earth. His glory fills the heavens and the earth. He is available to every person, all the time, everywhere they go . . . even for all eternity. To Him we ascribe . . . glory . . . majesty . . . beauty . . . splendor . . . magnificence . . . delightfulness . . . sweetness . . . perfections . . . graciousness . . . goodness . . . honor . . . blessing . . . wisdom . . . understanding . . . salvation . . . redemption . . . freedom . . . riches . . . strength . . . power . . . might . . . dominion . . . authority . . . holiness.

Revelations and truths within John 17:23: 1. That they may be one 2. Just as the Father and Jesus are one: 3. Jesus in the saints, 4. The Father in Jesus; 5. That the saints may be made perfect in one, 6. That the world may know that the Father sent Jesus,
Jesus said, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:16-21
Introduction
God loves the world. He loves the world so much, He gave His only Son to humanity. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world. He sent Jesus that the world through Him might be saved . . . and infinitely, eternally more. He who believes in Jesus is not condemned. But he who does not believe is condemned already, because He has not believed in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the exact representation of God’s nature. He is the image of the invisible God. He is the brilliance of God’s glory. God is fully revealed in His Son, Jesus. Jesus revealed the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus revealed eternal life: knowing God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent. Jesus revealed the only true God, the Father God Almighty. Jesus revealed that He is the Son of God . . . and the Lord God Almighty.
John 3:16-17, Revelation 2 & 3, John 3:18, Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:27, John 8:58, Matthew 13:11, John 17:3, the gospels, John 14:9-10
Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19
Jesus Christ was with and alongside the Father before the world was. The Father gave Jesus His glory before the foundation of the world. God sent His Son to the earth as a man. Gave gave His only begotten Son to the world. God did not send His Son to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Jesus lived as a man. He fulfilled His ministry. He finished the work the Father gave Him to do. Jesus gave Himself to the world. He shed His blood for our sins. He died that we might live. He gave His body for the life of the world. When Jesus died, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split. The graves were opened. Many of the saints bodies were raised. And coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into Jerusalem and appeared to many. Jesus was buried and descended to the underworld. He preached and proclaimed to the fallen angels in prison (Tartarus). He disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them. He triumphed over them in His victory on the cross (1 Peter 3:19, Colossians 2:15). He rose from the dead. He laid down His life and took it up again. He received that command from the Father. He lived 40 days on the earth. He presented Himself by many unmistakable proofs. He spoke to His apostles of things pertaining to the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). He appeared to Peter and His disciples. Then He was seen by more than 500 brothers at one time. He was seen by James, then by all the apostles, then by Paul (1 Corinthians 15:6). He told His apostles to wait for “the Promise of My Father.” Jesus said, “. . . John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now” (Acts 1:4). He ascended to heaven. As the apostles watched, “He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight” (Acts 1:9). Then. the apostles saw two men in white clothing, who said: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:10-11). Jesus was with the Father in heaven. Jesus came to the earth. He descended to the underworld. He returned to the earth. He ascended to the right hand of God’s power. Jesus Christ is the fullness of Him who fills all in all. The only true God and His glory fills the heavens, the earth and the universe. The Gospels, John 3, John 6, John 17, Acts 1, 1 Peter 3:19, Colossians 2:15, 1 Corinthians 15:6 and more
From "A Divine Revelation of Hell" by Mary Baxter: “The Lord’s face was sorrowful, and His eyes were filled with great tenderness and deep love. Though those in hell were forever lost, I knew that He still loved them and would for all eternity” (Baxter, 37).
“Jesus said: ‘My child, God, our Father, gave each one of us a will so that we could choose whether we would serve Him or Satan. You see, God did not make hell for His people. Satan deceives many into following him, but hell was made for Satan and his angels. It is not my desire, nor that of My Father, that anyone should perish.’ Tears of compassion ran down Jesus’ cheeks. “Jesus explained that He has all power in heaven and on earth. He explained that they would at times be seen by the evil forces and lost souls and at other times they would not be” (38).
“She kept reaching out to Jesus. I looked at Jesus, and there was great sorrow on His face . . .” (24).
“Great wailing sobs came from this man. ‘I’m so sorry, Jesus. Forgive me. Take me out of here. I have been in this place of torment for years. I beg you, let me out!’ Great sobs shook his skeletal frame as he begged, ‘Please, Jesus, let me out!’ I looked at Jesus and saw that He too was crying . . . Even though I died on the cross for you, you mocked Me and would not repent of your sins. My Father gave you many opportunities to be saved. If only you had listened!’ Jesus wept” (26).
[A woman Jesus called and called to repent, who is lost in hell] “As she spoke her bony hands reached out to Jesus while the flames continued to burn her. Jesus said, ‘Judgment is set.’ Tears fell down His cheeks as we moved to the next pit (33-34).
“Sorrow was always upon Jesus’ face as we walked” (63).
“I watched Jesus’ face, and it was sad and tender. He still had love and compassion for these lost souls written on His countenance” (130).
Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. 7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” 8 Now I, John, [c]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” 12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” 14 Blessed are those who [g]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [h]But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. 16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:5
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. John 1:4
That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. John 1:9
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17
For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:33
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” John 6:51
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:54
Jesus said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall [d]fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness [e]shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts; You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My [h]frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. Psalm 139:7-16
There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:1-8
On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Matthew 13:1-9
The Anointing
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you Acts 1:8
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you . . . (1 John 2:27).
Three things activate the anointing: worship, scripture, prayer
Three dimensions of the anointing: salvation, ministry, dominion
Three rivers/streams of the anointing: personal, service, dominion
Three results of the anointing: hunger, faith, love
King David anointed three times
Apostles anointed three times: Acts 2 service/season, 4 greater power/season & 10 to the Gentiles/forever
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. John 17:1-5
“The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding.” ’ 5 But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them [a]spitefully, and killed them. 7 But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ 10 So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. Matthew 22:2-14
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, [b]take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Some Primary Themes: 1. A king arranged a marriage for his son. The marriage included a dinner, with oxen and fatted cattle prepared. All things are ready. 2. The king invited certain people, twice. At the first invite, those invited were not willing to come. At the second invite, they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his business. 3. The rest of those invited seized the servants who presented the invitation, treated them spitefully, in a cruel and malicious way, and killed them. 4. The king was furious. He sent out his armies, destroyed the murderers and burned up their city. 5. The king revealed that those invited were not worthy.
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. John 17:1-5
We hide, but He calls out to us. We chose self instead of Him, but He already had a plan of salvation. All who look upon Him, live. He’s the God who heals you. He loves you with an everlasting love. When you call to Him, He shows you great and mighty things which you do not know. His faithfulness endures forever. He numbers your wanderings and sorrows. He collects your tears in a bottle. He records them all in His book (Psalm 56:8). Before a word is on your tongue, He knows it all. He’s all around you. Everywhere you go, He’s there. He’s within you. He’s laid His hand upon you. He’s inscribed you on the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:16). Not even a sparrow falls the ground apart from His will. He knows what you have need of before you ask. Where two or more are gathered together in His name, He is there. When you ask for the Holy Spirit, He gives Him to you. He prays to the Father to send you another Helper. He spoke these things that His joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. He shed His blood seven times for you. He died that you might live. He chose you before the foundation of the world. He wrote your name in the book of life. He is with you always, even to the end of the age. He lives with and in you, forever.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!” (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29). The Lord is one. He is the only true God. He has revealed Himself as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father and Jesus Christ are in heaven. The Holy Spirit fills heaven and is on and throughout all the earth. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father, the Spirit of Jesus Christ. The Father God is on the highest throne in the universe. He is the Father of glory, the great and awesome God of the universe. At the right hand of His power is His Son Jesus. The Father has given and delivered all things to His Son. Jesus is the exact representation of the Father. He is the image of the invisible God. God’s beloved Son is the King of Glory. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of glory. What is God like? He is the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe.

The light was so intense, he had to look away and keep looking down . . . He is so big – you can’t describe Him in a dimension . . . The form of God’s body is somewhat like energy and spirit.

There was a massive amount of energy, power, smoke, and noise there.16 -Jesse Duplantis, "Close Encounters of the God Kind", p. 114
“Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM’” (John 8:54-58).
“Jesus cried out and said: ’He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me’” (John 12:45).
Jesus said: “’He who has seen Me has seen the Father’” (John 14:9)
“And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death’” (Revelation 1:17-18).
“All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (MT 11:26).
“He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me” (Luke 10:16).
“Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5:19-23).
Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me” (John 7:16).
“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me” (John 7:28-29).
“He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak” (John 12:44-50).
“’If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him’” Philip said to Him, ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves’” (John 14:7-11).
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you (John 16:12-15).
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:1-4

Jesus shed His blood seven times
Jesus Christ is God. And infinitely, eternally more. Those who know Jesus know God. They have eternal life, which is knowing the only true God. If they continue with Jesus, they will live forever.

And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” Exodus 34:6,7
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me” So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:16-21).
- Spirit of the Lord came upon Jesus (v. 18a).
- The Holy Spirit anointed Him (v. 18b).

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24
- But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth (v. 23).
- the Father is seeking such to worship Him (v. 23b).
- God is Spirit (v. 24).
- those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth (v. 24b).
True Worship
True worship is worshipping the Father in spirit and truth. “In spirit” surely means “in the Holy Spirit.” “In truth” surely means “in Jesus Christ.” Jesus is the truth. Therefore, true worship is worshipping the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit and in Jesus Christ.
God is Spirit
The Father is Spirit. Jesus is Spirit. They live in the spirit realm. They are in heaven, which is a real, spiritual place and is the center, source and substance of the spirit realm. The Father sits on the highest throne in the universe. Jesus is at His right hand of power. Jesus will forever be robed in glorified flesh. The Holy Spirit is of course Spirit. He is the Spirit of the Father and of Jesus Christ. God through His Spirit fills heaven and earth. His presence and glory fills heaven and the earth. Saints in heaven are spirits. Those who make it to heaven will live in their spirit person, forever. God is Spirit.
“The Promise of My Father”
“Endued with Power from on High”
Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city [m]of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:46-49
Jesus said, "If you love Me, [d]keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another [e]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:15-18
The only true God and His name are an eternal mystery and revelation. The Lord God Almighty and His name are beyond human comprehension.
Knowing Him and His name is the supreme purpose of mankind. The most important thing in a person’s life is to know Him. Those who find Him and make it to heaven will be in awe of Him, forever.
He and His name are indescribable, incomprehensible, unfathomable. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, omnipresent. He is life, love, eternity and infinitely more. He and His name are holy, and His name is Holy.
Yet, He has revealed Himself and His name. He is no longer a mystery or secret. He and His name are not hidden. He is available. He is a present reality.
The great God Jehovah, the infinite, eternal revelation, has revealed Himself in one name: Jesus.
John 17:3, Judges 13:18, Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 16:26, Matthew 13:11, Matthew 10:29, Revelation 19:6, Psalm 139, John 14:6, 1 John 4:8, Isaiah 57:15, John 8:58, Matthew 28:20, Revelation 22:13, Joel 2:32
Did you know that God’s presence, His glory, is everywhere on the earth.
Everywhere a person goes, God‘s presence, glory and power is there.
His presence is so wonderful and beautiful, human words can never express Him.
This presence is what Jesus spoke about in the parable of the the treasure in a field. A man found the treasure and sold everything he had and bought the field.
It’s the presence of God, the presence of Jesus, the Holy Spirit.
Someone who is born again has the opportunity to experience and know His presence and glory. Their spirit person is alive and “connected” to God, because God is everywhere.
If they do not feel His presence, they just need to go deeper and into the subsequent phases of knowing God. As they do, they will be losing their “old nature,” also called “the flesh.” And they will begin to know His glory. There are four phases of knowing God (John 3,4 & 7).
When someone meets Him, He is the only One they will desire.
It all starts with salvation, the greatest miracle. A born again believer’s spirit person is alive because of God’s power.
When a person is born again, Jesus Christ lives in and through them. And, the presence of God, of Jesus Christ, is all around them, everywhere they go. In Him we live and move and have our being.
If someone’s not born again, their spirit person is not alive. Therefore they cannot know or understand the things of God – and especially not His presence.
What is our “spirit person?” It is the real us. Scripture calls it our “innermost being,” “heart” and “inner man.” A person’s physical body is shaped just like their spirit person. Our spirit person is in the image and likeness of God Almighty.
We are a spirit person. We have a soul. We live in a body, on the earth. We are a trinity, just like God.
Anyone who makes it to heaven will live in their spirit person for eternity, in the inexpressible glory of God in heaven. Heaven and earth are filled with His glory.
However, tragically, Jesus revealed that most people will not get saved (Matthew 7:13-14). They will not know, understand or receive His presence, which is available to every person, all the time.
If they do not find Jesus as Lord and Savior, they face an eternity in hell, the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels (Revelation 20:15, Matthew 25:41).
Sadly, most believers in Jesus do not know or understand His presence and glory. Why not? They are saved, which is great! But they only stay in the initial phase of knowing Him, the born again phase. They have not yet been “born of water and the Spirit” (John 3:5).
His presence is the absolute key to our walk with Him. When we meet Him, we will find all that we want, need, desire, long for and hope for.
The truth is that knowing God is easy and simple. Many think it is complicated. But Jesus Himself said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. He said we must become like a child to enter the kingdom.
Because He is everywhere, any person, at any time, if they humble themselves and repent, can “get right with God.” They can receive what they need, and what He offers, whether it’s salvation, the infilling of the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, miracles, and infinitely more.
Thank you Jesus for dying for us and saving us! Amen.

The only true God is an eternal mystery and revelation. His name is also an eternal mystery and revelation. He and His name are beyond human comprehension. Knowing Him and His name is the supreme purpose of man. Those who find Him and make it to heaven will be in awe of Him, forever. He and His name are indescribable, incomprehensible, unfathomable. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, everywhere. He is life, love, eternity and infinitely more. He and His name are holy. Yet, He has revealed Himself and His name. He is no longer a mystery. He is no longer a secret. He and His name are not hidden. He is available. He is a present reality. The Lord God Almighty, the great God Jehovah, the infinite, eternal revelation, can be summed up with one glorious name: Jesus.
More than ever, people need Jesus – and especially the presence of Jesus.
What is Jesus like? What is the Father like? What is the Holy Spirit like?
“On the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works, will I meditate” (Psalm 145:5).
“One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold/gaze at/see the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire/seek Him in His temple” (Psalm 27:4, various translations).
Some translations, in place of beauty, say “splendor, delightfulness, sweetness, perfections, graciousness, goodness.” For Lord, some translations are “Lord Jehovah, Jehovah, Yahweh.”
The Lord Jesus is indeed the most wonderful, most beautiful Person in the universe. His presence is . . . the glory of the Lord.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth. Psalm 57:5
“(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God)” (Exodus 34:14).

Then the Lord appeared to him by [a]the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. 4 Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. 5 And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant.” They said, “Do as you have said.” 6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. 8 So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.
9 Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?”
So he said, “Here, in the tent.”
10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and [b]Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
13 And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” 15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh!” Gen. 18:1-15
Correction below: Jacob wrestled with, according to most translations, "a man." In Hosea 12:4, the man is described as "the Angel." Scriptures are below.
From Daniel 3: "Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” 25 “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the[e] Son of God.” Daniel 3:24-25
Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. 25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He [h]touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” 27 So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” 28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but [i]Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there. Genesis 32:24-29
Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed; He wept, and sought favor from Him. He found Him in Bethel, And there He spoke to us— 5 That is, the Lord God of hosts. The Lord is His memorable name. Hosea 12:4-5
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He [a]should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples 6 “I have [c]manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. John 17:1-8
"And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it" Matthew 13:10-17
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the [d]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ" 1 Cor. 2:9-16
"But He said, 'You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.' Exodus 33:20
“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. Matthew 13:44 Amp.
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [h]I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here. John 14:26-31
So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are [j]oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing (Luke 4:16-21).
Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:9-10
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!” Revelation 22:8-9
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified (Isaiah 61:1-3).
The mystery of God (Revelation 10:7). The mysteries of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 13:11). The riches of the glory of the mystery (Colossians 1:27). The only true God is an eternal mystery. He is so glorious, so wonderful, so powerful – and infinitely, eternally more – He is beyond human comprehension. Knowing Him is an eternal revelation. Those who find Him and make it to heaven will be in awe of Him, forever. He is indescribable, incomprehensible, unfathomable. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, everywhere. He is life, love, eternity and infinitely more. He is holy. He will be beyond human words, forever. Yet, He has revealed Himself. He is no longer a mystery. He is no longer a secret. He is available. He is a present reality. The only true God, the infinite, eternal mystery, can be summed up in one word: Jesus.
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He [c]will take of Mine and declare it to you. John 16:12-15
Revelation 20: "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain [a]in his hand. 2 And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Satan Freed, Doomed 7 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, 8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the [c]seashore. 9 And they came up on the [d]broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the [e]saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and [f]brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Judgment at the Throne of God 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and [h]books were opened; and another [i]book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. John 14:7-11
Jesus said, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves." John 14:9-11
Jesus said, "For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. Luke 22:18-20
"But there shall by no means enter it anything [q]that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life." Revelation 21:27 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16
Heaven is glorious beyond description. It is filled with the glorious, wonderful presence of Jesus Christ, the presence of God! Amen! Hell is terrible and horrible beyond comprehension. Jesus said: If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life [j]maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to [k]hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— 44 [l]where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ 45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into [m]hell, [n]into the fire that shall never be quenched— 46 where
‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’ 47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into [o]hell fire— 48 where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, . . . 1 Cor. 2:7 . . . but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7
Jesus said: “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning. John 15:26-27 5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. 12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. John 16:5-15
"However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God [c]ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God." 1 Corinthians 2:6-10
". . . if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14). Let's pray for our nation. God loves and sees all people the same, no matter their race, creed, religion or anything else (John 3:16 & more),
"And one cried to another and said: 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!'" Isaiah 6:3
And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God." Luke 1:35
Hebrews 9:12-14: "Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the [e]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
Jesus said: “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He [c]will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Psalm 122: I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” 2 Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, 4 Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the Lord, [a]To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the Lord. 5 For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. 7 Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” 8 For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” 9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.
The Sacrifice of Jesus For all eternity, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ will be honored, revered, proclaimed and infinitely more. God sent and gave His Son Jesus Christ to die for the world. Jesus died for the life of the world. Only one faith has a Savior Who died for the world. Only one God loves the world so much that He gave His only Son and sent Him to the earth to save and redeem mankind. God came to earth as a man and justified Himself to the world. In fact, He did something even more sacrificial than coming to the earth Himself. He sent His only begotten Son to die for the world. Whosoever believes in the Lord Jesus shall not perish but have everlasting life. He is God, yet He became a man. John 1 He is eternity, yet He lived in human time. Revelation 1 and 4 He is life, yet He died for the world. John 1:4, 14:6, 17:3, Gospels He saves, yet He was crucified. MT 18:11, Luke 19:10, Gospels He is holy, yet He became sin. Rev. 4:8-11, 2 Cor. 5:21 He dwells in eternal glory, yet He came to the earth as a human. John 17:22 He sits on the highest throne in the universe, yet he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross.. Mark 16:19, Luke 22:69, Phil. 2:9 He is high and lofty, yet He became low and humble. Is. 57:15, Mt 11:29 He is the highest, yet He became the lowest. Phil. 2:9, Mark 9:35 He is the first, yet He became the last. Mt 20:28, Mk 10:45, John 13:1-17 He is the Lord of all, yet He became the servant of all.

Gen. 1:27, Is. 53:3, John 1:11 He created the men who beat Him and crucified Him. Gen. 1:27 He spoke the worlds into existence, yet He was silent and did not open His mouth. Genesis 1, Is. 53:7 He gives abundant life, yet His life was taken from Him. John 10:28 He is blessed, yet He was cursed. Gal. 3:13 He is true, yet they crucified Him based on lies. Rev. 3:7 His face shines like the sun, yet it was marred more than any man. Isaiah 52:14 He is grace and beauty, yet He had no loveliness or attractiveness.

Revelation 1:12-20: "Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of [j]Hades and of Death. 19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. 20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the [m]angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches." Rev. 1:12-20
Ezekiel 36:26-27: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them."
Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:43-48
“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). “But there shall by no means enter it [the New Jerusalem] anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life” (Revelation 21:27).
The Only True God: the Same Yesterday, Today & Forever... Amen! The Father, Son & Holy Spirit by Jim Harwell
What is eternal life?
“Jesus . . . said, ‘And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent’” (John 17:3).
What are some of God’s attributes and characteristics? What is His nature?
God is: all-powerful, ever-present, all-knowing, sovereign, holy, perfect, righteous, just, and always the same. God is: merciful, compassionate, gracious, longsuffering, patient, slow to anger; abounding in goodness, unfailing love and devotion; abounding in truth and faithfulness. God keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments. God forgives iniquity, transgression and sin (Gospels, Exodus 34:6-7, Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 36:5, 89:8).
What is the deepest reality of knowing God?
The deepest reality of knowing God is fellowship with Him. You are on the earth to fellowship with God through Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, forever. Amen. God created every person to fellowship with Him. This fellowship is the most wonderful, glorious, unspeakable experience a person can experience. His presence fulfills a person in every way. Every want, need and desire they have is completely, totally fulfilled. Those who find Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior on earth and make it to heaven will fellowship with God there, forever. Amen!
9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” 10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. 13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.
Does my life really matter to God?
God created you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. He loves you with an everlasting love. He sent His Son Jesus to die for you. He knows everything about you. He is acquainted with all your ways. He knows all your thoughts. He knows your words before you speak. He knows what you have need of before you ask. All your days were written in His book, before you were born. If you have had died before the age of five, you would have gone directly to heaven and into His glorious presence, forever. As a young child, your angels always saw the face of your Father. He has kept your tears in a bottle and will preserve them forever. He has inscribed you on the palms of His hands. He takes great delight in you and rejoices over you with singing (Psalm 139, Gospels, Zephaniah 3:17, Matthew 18:10, Psalm 56:8, Isaiah 49:16, Zephaniah 3:17).
In the Gospel of John, Jesus reveals there are three phases of a walk with Him in the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) He reveals the phases in Chapters 3, 4, and 7. The four phases:
- Born Again (John 3:3)
- Born of Water and the Spirit (John 3:5-8)
- Drink Living Water, It Becomes a Fountain Springing Up Into Everlasting Life (John 4:13-14)
- Come to Jesus, Drink the Living Water, Believe in Him, Rivers of Living Water Will Flow Out of Your Innermost Being (John 7:37-38)
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will [f]by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
Rejected by His Own 41 The Jews then [g]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, [h]“Do not murmur among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who [i]has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes [j]in Me has everlasting life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” John 6:35-51
Hebrews 1:3: "The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God’s Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father’s] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal]."
Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." John 14:15-18
And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.” Exodus 34:6-7
“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:34-38
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the[d] seven Spirits of God.
6 Before the throne there [e]was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:
“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
11 “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they [h]exist and were created.” Revelation 4:2-11
"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Rev. 21:1-4
Jesus said: "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
Revelation: The Great White Throne Judgment "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second [d]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:11-15
“Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?” (Judges 13:18) Other translations: “. . . seeing it is secret? (KJV) “It is too wonderful for you to understand.” (New Living) “It is a name of wonder” (Good News). “. . .because you cannot comprehend it” (NET). “It is incomprehensible.” (New Heart English) “. . . seeing it is hidden?’” (JPS Tanakh) “. . . since it is beyond comprehension?” (Berean) “You don’t need to know my name. And if you did, you couldn’t understand it” (Contemporary Engish). “It’s ‘Wonderful’” (International Standard).
When God visited Manoah and his wife, He first appeared twice to Manoah’s wife (v. 6 and 8). His countenance was “very awesome” (v. 6). To Manoah, she described Him as a Man of God, twice (v. 8 and 10). When Manoah first saw Him, the Lord is identified again as a Man, twice (v. 11). Then, we read that Manoah did not know He was the Lord (v. 16). The Lord did a “wondrous thing” (v. 19). As Manoah offered a burnt offering on a rock, “it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar – the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar!” (v. 20) Then Manoah realized He was God. He even said, “’We shall surely die, because we have seen God!’” (v. 22). We see in this visitation that God hid Himself from both people. When asked His name, He did not actually give a specific name. He actually responded with a question, and described His name as wonderful.
Gabriel said to Mary: “’. . . And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus’” (Luke 1:31).
“. . . an angel of the Lord appeared to [Joseph] in a dream, saying, . . . ‘you shall call His name Jesus . . .’” (Matthew 1:21)
“. . . an angel of the Lord said to [the shepherds], ‘For there is born to you this day . . . a Savior, who is Christ the Lord’” (Luke 2:11).
“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!’” (Luke 2:13-14)
“The next day . . . John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God . . . I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God’” (John 1:29,33).
When Jesus was baptized, God spoke audibly: “‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased’” (Matthew 3:17). When Jesus was transfigured, God spoke audibly: “’This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased! Hear Him!’” (Matthew 17:6).
The Great White Throne Judgment 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before [c]God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second [d]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “This shall be the law of the [a]leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest. 3 And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall examine him; and indeed, if the [b]leprosy is healed in the leper, 4 then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop. 5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water. 7 And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field.
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [h]I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you [c]ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Jesus Promises Another Helper 15 “If you love Me, [d]keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another [e]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and [f]manifest Myself to him.”
Jesus said: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Rev. 3:20
Jesus said: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it." Matthew 7:13 Amp.

“Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, ‘Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!’ 29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” 35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:26-35
The subject of this podcast is beyond human words. Why? The only true God is so glorious, so holy, so awesome – and infinitely more – that He is beyond description. Those who make it to heaven will be in awe of Him, forever. He is one: “’Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one’” (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29). He has one name – and many revelations of that name. Through the centuries, He revealed Himself to man with numerous glorious revelations of His name. Two thousand years ago, an angel of the Lord introduced Him and His name to mankind. The angel appeared to Mary’s husband Joseph in a dream and told him: “’You shall call His name JESUS’” (Matthew 1:21).
"God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged [e]our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." Hebrews 1:1-4
And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’
16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
“But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins’” (Matthew 1:20-21).
“’For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord’” (Luke 2:11).

“ And Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost’” (Luke 19:9-10).
“’For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved’” (John 3:16-17).
“’Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved’” (John 5:34).
“’I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture’” (John 10:9).
“’And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world’” (John 12:47)
Jesus said: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [f]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:29-30

Hebrews 1:1-4: "God, who [a]at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."
Jesus said: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17
What to do when you do not feel His presence and glory; when someone does not "feel any different" after receiving Jesus. “’For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved’” (John 3:17).
“’And if anyone hears My words and does not [g]believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world’” (John 12:47)

From Mark 16: "Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going [a]before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
8 So they went out [b]quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord 9 [c]Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples 12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.
The Great Commission 14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who [d]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[e] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
For all eternity, the sacrifice of Jesus will be honored, proclaimed & infinitely more.
Only one faith has a Savior Who died for the world. Only one God loves the world so much that He gave His only Son to die and save mankind.
Yet, He was hated, betrayed, condemned, and rejected. He was beaten, scourged, whipped, and flogged to the point of death. He was brutally whipped 39 times, tearing His flesh to the bone.
A crown of thorns was placed on His head. His head was beaten with a heavy wooden stick.
He was mocked, ridiculed, spit upon, and slapped on the face. He was insulted, taunted, reviled, and blasphemed. They drove nails through his hands and feet.
He was crucified on a cross for six hours, one of the most brutal forms of execution.
He rose from the dead, ascended to heaven and lives forevermore. Whosoever relies on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

“Then one of the scribes came, and . . . asked Him, ‘Which is the first commandment of all?’ Jesus answered him, ‘The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these’” (Mark 12:28-31).
The Lord our God, the Lord is one! The only true God is one. The truth that He is one is an eternal revelation. It is the Holy Spirit who reveals this and all revelations.
The Trinity
God is one. Yet, He is three Persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He has revealed Himself to mankind as a trinity. Yet, the trinity is one God: the only true God. This revelation is an eternal mystery. He revealed Himself as a trinity when He sent Jesus Christ to the earth, to give life to the world (John 6:33). The trinity is another eternal revelation of the only true God. Really, everything related to God Almighty is eternal and is a revelation – an eternal revelation!
The Need
God is perfect. Everything He does is perfect. Everything He does has eternal purpose. He sent Jesus Christ, because there was a need. Man needed to be saved – from sin, the world, the enemy, hell and so forth. Before He sent Jesus, God had not revealed Himself as a trinity. He had revealed Himself with many names and in many ways. But He was not yet known as the Father and the Son. At the appropriate time, He sent Jesus to the earth. God’s plan for humanity was revealed. God Himself was revealed: Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior . . . the Lord God Almighty.
The Trinity
The trinity is such a wonderful revelation. God revealed Himself as a trinity because of His love for mankind – to save mankind! He revealed Himself as Jesus Christ to offer eternal life to mankind – which includes the infinite, eternal depth of the riches of the glory of Himself and all that He is! To offer Himself to man! He sent Jesus to reveal Himself! Jesus Christ is the Son of God . . . and God! Jesus is the revelation of God. God’s offer and gift is truly beyond comprehension. The Holy Spirit reveals the only true God. The Holy Spirit is God! He glorifies Jesus. He reveals that Jesus is the Lord God Almighty. And of course, He reveals that the Father is greater than all. Amen.
“Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM’” (John 8:54-58).
“Jesus cried out and said: ’He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me’” (John 12:45).
Jesus said: “’He who has seen Me has seen the Father’” (John 14:9)
—
The revelation of Jesus Christ is perhaps the most important revelation for mankind. Jesus is the revelation of God. He is how we know God and can be saved - and infinitely more. Jesus is both God and the Son of God. Below are scriptures that reveal Jesus is the Lord God Almighty and infinitely more. Amen!

“And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death’” (Revelation 1:17-18).
“‘All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him’” (Matthew 11:26).
“‘He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me’” (Luke 10:16).
“‘Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, 23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him’” (John 5:19-23).
Jesus answered them and said, ‘My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me’ (John 7:16).
“‘You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me’” (John 7:28-29).
“‘He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. 45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak’” (John 12:44-50).
“‘7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.’” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves’” (John 14:7-11).
From the Book of Revelation: Seven Spirits of God
“Seven lamps of fire (also: fiery torches) were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God” (Revelation 4:5).
“And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth” (Revelation 5:6)
He is the Spirit of: Grace – Hebrews 10:29 Life – Genesis 1:2 Adoption – Romans 8:15 Holiness – Romans 1:4 Supplication – Zechariah 12:10 Truth – John 16:13 Glory – 1 Peter 4:14
There are seven Spirits within these, as found in Isaiah 11:2:
“The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.”
The Spirit of: The Lord Wisdom Understanding Counsel Might, Power Knowledge Fear of the Lord
The Holy Spirit reveals that the only true God is eternity and life. Eternity exists in Him. Life is only found in Him. Outside of Him is only death. Every good thing is from Him and is found in Him. For example, He is love. He is hope. He is peace. He is joy. He is holy. And on and on. And how do we know Him? Through Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. And when someone knows Jesus, they can experience all the wonderful things God offers, such as: love, hope, peace, joy, holiness and infinitely more!
He and His Glory Fill the Universe
He is the Creator and Possessor of the heavens and the earth. The universe exists in Him. He and His glory fill the heavens and the earth:
“‘Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?’ says the Lord; ‘Do I not fill heaven and earth?’ says the Lord” (Jer. 23:24).
In fact, the heavens are His throne. The earth is His footstool (Isaiah 66:1).
His Presence Fills the Earth
God’s glorious presence fills and is over all the earth. The earth exists in Him. Simply put, God is everywhere. He is available to every person, all the time, everywhere they go . . . for eternity. This truth is why it is easy for a person to be saved. If someone sincerely asks Jesus to be their Lord and Savior, they are saved. Jesus is everywhere and always available - and always desires to save . . . and eternally more! A believer can always experience God’s presence. If they do not, it is because their old nature is “in the way.” Jesus says, “‘I am with you always, even to the end of the age’” (Matthew 28:20). In Him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28).
The Natural World
The natural world is a reflection of the spiritual world. God created both. Jesus used the natural world to reveal spiritual truth. Everything good on the earth comes directly from God, both natural and spiritual things. Every good gift comes down from the Father, (James 1:17). The good things every person has come directly and exclusively from God. When we realize the universe exists in Him, it is easy to realize that God provides all things that are good, even for those who do not know Him. He provided every person their very life to begin with. He provides everything that keeps them alive: light, air, food, water, and all the good natural things. He provides the intangible, spiritual things as well, for all people: love, hope, faith, joy, peace, and much more.
What about the Suffering?
People often question these truths. They ask, “What about all the suffering? Why is there so much suffering in the world?” Everything God creates is perfect. Earth has imperfection and death because of the fall and sin.
The Spiritual World
There is a vast spiritual world beyond our earthly, natural life. The real “battle” is the war between God and the enemy. The enemy caused man to fall which brought sin, death and decay. For a full summary and explanation of the spiritual world, see the book War in the Heavens by Jim Harwell.
Jesus spoke seven (7) “I am” statements in the Book of John. There are also seven (7) miracles that each correspond with one of the “I am” statements. Jesus said:

Colossians 1:15-29: He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in[h] him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He himself is before all things, and in[i] him all things hold together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.
21 And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled[j] in his fleshly body[k] through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him— 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel.
Paul’s Interest in the Colossians 24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 I became its servant according to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil and struggle with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me. Col. 1:15-29
Jesus said: “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another [e]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and [f]manifest Myself to him.”
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.
The Gift of His Peace 25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the [g]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because [h]I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.
29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here."
Jesus offers eternal life. Also, an explanation of hell. The only true God has offered mankind the greatest, most priceless offer ever: He has offered Himself. His offer is so wonderful, human words cannot express it. His offer is beyond human comprehension. Why? Because He is so wonderful – and infinitely, eternally more – human words cannot express Him. He is beyond human comprehension and description. He has offered Himself . . . to every person . . . all the time . . . for all eternity. Those who make it to heaven will be in awe of Him, forever.
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:5-14
Jesus said: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
The Father Revealed 7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves." John 14:1-11
2 Kings 2: And it came to pass, when the Lord was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 2 Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to Bethel.”
But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel.
3 Now the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take away your master [a]from over you today?”
And he said, “Yes, I know; keep silent!”
4 Then Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to Jericho.”
But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they came to Jericho.
5 Now the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?”
So he answered, “Yes, I know; keep silent!”
6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to the Jordan.”
But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So the two of them went on. 7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. 8 Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
