PSALM NUGGET, OT LESSON, NT LESSON

PSALM NUGGET:

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me."  (Psalm 50:15)

OT LESSON:

"I will bring them back, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.  They shall be My People and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness."  (Zechariah 8:8)

NT LESSON:

"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."  (John 1:18)

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2

WHAT, "HIS POVERTY," ACCOMPLISHED

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich."  (2 Corinthians 8:9) 

If this isn't love, nothing is.

Jesus', "poverty," is manifested on the Cross.  He hanged naked on the Cross, suffering the death sentence of the worst of criminals.  (I argue with Paul: "I am the worst of all.")  Jesus gave up everything that you and I might have everything.  

What we have in Jesus Christ is found in the meaning of Shalom: "peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility."    The Followers of Jesus Christ are rich beyond imagination. 

Father, in Jesus' Name, You are indeed, "Jesus, Lover of my soul."  Amen.

"FAMILY ROOM" FELLOWSHIP

"But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel."  (Psalm 22:3)

The Word for, "enthroned," can mean, "to sit, dwell."  The KJV says, "You inhabit the praises of Israel."

My Dad once said in a meeting, "Since this is true, let's give Him a place to live."  Great.  

Our Father is, "....enthroned in..," our praises.  Jesus, "sit[s]" in our praises.  Holy Spirit, "dwell[s]," in our praises.  What a glorious "Family Room."

Father, in Jesus' Name, This is wonderful.  Amen.
