Bible Verse of The Day – 3-26-21

John 1:26 (NKJV) 26 John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.

“There stands One among you whom you do not know”.

At the time that John the Baptist proclaimed the coming of the Messiah, he told the people that He was, in fact, already standing among them.

Jesus had come and was among the people from time to time. But they failed to recognize Him. It was John’s calling and duty to make Him known to everyone who would listen.

In those days, it’s easy to see why Jesus could walk among them and not be seen for who He was. Without prophetic insight, or a direct word from God, it would not be easy to recognize One who looked just like the rest of them and quietly mixed in with the crowds.

How is it for us today? Do we fail to recognize Him, even when He is in the midst of us?

Do many of today’s churches become so caught up in their programs, plans and activities that they leave Jesus standing outside, peering in through the windows, waiting to be invited in?

Do we as individuals keep Him shut out as we scurry around with our busy lives, and then wonder why “He doesn’t show up” when we want Him for something?

These are important things to ponder on and seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit about.

It’s easy to say that we have Jesus living actively in our lives. It’s yet another thing to actually be doing it.

Let’s make sure that we have truly opened the door to Him and let Him in.

Revelation 3:20 (NKJV) 20 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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-12-15

Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV) 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.

According to the Webster dictionary the definition for Immanuel is Messiah.

I remember as a young girl, I would go to Sunday school because my parents made me get on that bus every Sunday.

I was just going through the motions, doing what I was told to do. My heart was as bad as the rest of the world. The only difference between me and my friends was that I was going to Sunday school and they weren’t.

One Sunday while the Pastor was preaching, God touched my heart and I believed! I believed everything that Pastor was sharing about Jesus Christ. I believed He gave His life for me. I knew He came to save me and I needed to take the step and let Him.

I opened my heart that day to Him and let Him help me. I became His and He became mine.

Our relationship grows each day. Some days I’m tired and He knows it and some days I’m on fire! But no matter what, He is always waiting for me. Even when I’m having an off day, He waits.

How blessed we are that someone has such great love for us.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV) 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

He is our Messiah! Amen
