CELEBRATING REDEMPTION

PSALM 111:9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has COMMANDED His covenant forever. Holy and awesome is His name.

 

Acts 3:17-26 NKJV
"Yet now, brethren, I know that you
did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
[18] But those things which God foretold
by the mouth of all His prophets, that the
Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.
[19] Repent therefore and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out, so that
times of refreshing may come from the
presence of the Lord, [20] and that He
may send Jesus Christ, who was preached
to you before, [21] whom heaven must
receive until the times of restoration
of all things, which God has spoken by
the mouth of all His holy prophets since
the world began. [22] For Moses truly said
to the fathers, 'The LORD your God will
raise up for you a Prophet like me from
your brethren. Him you shall hear
in all things, whatever He says to
you. [23] And it shall be that every soul
who will not hear that Prophet shall be
utterly destroyed from among the people.'
[24] Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel
and those who follow, as many as have
spoken, have also foretold these days.
[25] You are sons of the prophets, and of the
covenant which God made with our fathers,
saying to Abraham,  'And in your seed
all the families of the earth shall be
blessed.' [26] To you first, God, having
raised up His Servant Jesus, sent
Him to bless you, in turning away
every one of you from your iniquities."

   

LIVING LIFE - LEGACY:  JESUS

Acts 3:16 NKJV
And His name, through faith in His name, has made
this man strong, whom you see and know.  Yes, the
faith which comes through Him has given him this
perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

1 John 1:1-10 NKJV
That which was from the beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we
have looked upon, and our hands have handled,
concerning the Word of life- [2] the life was
manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness,
and declare to you that eternal life which was with
the Father and was manifested to us- [3] that which
we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you
also may have fellowship with us; and truly our
fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus
Christ. [4] And these things we write to you that your
joy may be full. [5] This is the message which we
have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is
light and in Him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say
that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
[7] But if we walk in the light as He is in the light,
we have fellowship with one another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
[8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [9] If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not
sinned, we make Him a liar,
and His word is not in us.

   

 

CHURCH: DO WE HAVE THE FAITH OF THE CENTURIAN: Matthew 8:5-13 LSB And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, [6] and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented.” [7] And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” [8] But the centurion said, “Lord, I am not good enough for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. [9] For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this man, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes, and to my slave, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.” [10] Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. [11] And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; [12] but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” [13] And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very moment.

Jude 1:3 KJV. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

WHO IS JESUS TO YOU?
MATTHEW
TELLS US THAT JESUS IS KING.
MARK TELLS US THIS KING OF PASSION IS A SERVING KING.
LUKE ADDS JESUS HAS A TENDERNESS OF HUMAN SYMPATHY, FOR HE IS OUR BROTHER.
JOHN SHOWS THE BROODING WOOING JESUS, SAYING: THIS IS GOD, IN HUMAN GARB!
THE SUPREME WORD BECAME THE SUPREME PERSON.

 Acts 13:36-37 KJV For David, after he had served his own generation
by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
[37] But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.  

 
2 Corinthians 5:14-17 AMP  [14] For the love of Christ controls and compels us,
because we have concluded this, that One died for all, therefore all died;  
[15] and He died for all, so that all those who live would no longer live for
themselves, but for Him who died and was raised for their sake.
[16] So from now on we regard no one from a human point of view
[according to worldly standards and values].
Though we have known Christ from a human point of view,
now we no longer know Him in this way.
[17] Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith
in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit];
the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away.
Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].
