Psalm 119, 10of27

~ Read God’s Word To Prevent Harmful Addictions ~

119:45 And I will walk at liberty,

For I seek Your precepts.

119:133 Direct my steps by Your word,

And let no iniquity have dominion over me.

Comment  ~  There are many harmful addictions available to all of us.  Some are more subtle than others.  The more we know God’s Word the more self-control we will have.

Question – Jesus, 29

~  Regarding Discernment ~

Introduction  ~  This series is about questions involving Jesus.  Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth.  Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.  We will look at questions on about 130 topics (some may split into two or more posts).  Even so, it is far from an exhaustive list. 

Scripture  ~  “Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, ‘Who do men say that I am?’  So they answered, ‘John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.’  He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’  Peter answered and said to Him, ‘You are the Christ.’  Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him” (Mark 8:27-30).

“And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, ‘Who do the crowds say that I am?’  So they answered and said, ‘John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.’  He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’  Peter answered and said, ‘The Christ of God’” (Luke 9:18-20). 

Comment  ~  “But who do you say that I am?  This is the most important question for every living human being.  So, I ask you, “Who do YOU say that Jesus is?”  If you do not answer it at all, or if you answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!

God Is My… (Psalms), 2

~ God Is My King ~

Introduction  ~  Previously from July 16, 2017 through January 6, 2019 ALN posted a series of 60 posts of “Jesus is…,” and now we look exclusively at who “God is…” from the Book of Psalms.  While not a complete list these posts occur are in the same order they are in the Psalms. 

Passage  ~  “Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.  Give heed to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for to You I will pray.  My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up” (Psalm 5:1-3).    

Significance  ~  Many do not recognize Jesus Christ for who He is.  Christians realize He is the King of Kings. 

“He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power.  Amen” (1 Timothy 6:15b-16). 

“These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).

“And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.  He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.  And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:15b-16).

Comment  ~  One day you will recognize that He truly is the King of all kings.  Why not recognize that reality today and put Him on the throne of your life?
