1 January 2016 Happy New Year. Congrats for your efforts to read your Bible every day to know God. Start your new year with a review of some of the benefits you enjoy because you are saved, a child of the King, forgiven, your name is written down in the Lamb's Book of Life and you are expecting the call of God to come up hither at any moment, Maranatha! If this is not your case, please be saved today.
I shared this info with the people of the local nursing home last month about some of the events in the life of Jesus Christ that reminded me of how far it is from heaven to earth. God did all men a favor when Jesus came to where we were, as us, for us, so that we might be reconciled to God by faith.
How far did The
Lord Jesus Christ come? ….An eternal being stepped into our world, our realm,
into our time, our space and reality to reconcile you and me, all men, back to
God the Father. LUKE
