The message for the beloved Children of God - Grateful !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved Children of God - Grateful !

I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, His grace, His Love, His finished work on the cross, and His death, burial and resurrection. I'm so grateful for the word of God, to know that after this life, there is something bigger and greater then this world. Whatever you need today, look to Jesus. Don't rely on your own efforts or trust in your own strength. Rest in the finished work of Jesus and receive His provision. He is our way maker, He is our comfort, He is our strength, He is our healing, He is our source, He is all that we need, He is the only way to the Heavenly Father trust Him. Read 1 Corinthians 1:30-31, But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.Do you know the story of Lazarus in the bible? A true believer, when he or she dies, just sleep; they rest from the labours of the past day. Death is better than sleep, understand sleep is only a short rest, but death is the end of earthly cares, no more pain, no worry and no more sickness. A man name Lazarus in the bible was sick, the sisters sent word to Jesus, that it was serious, it was apparent that he was dying. Jesus visited the home of Lazarus and his sisters Mary and Martha often when in Jerusalem. Jesus responded to the news saying the sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God. Jesus meant that although Lazarus would die, but his death was only temporary, in that Jesus brought him back to life. God was using Lazarus' sickness and death to proclaim the glory of God in that Jesus would be gloried when He restored life to His friend. When God is glorified He is praised, honored and worshiped. To glorify means to acknowledge God's love, mercy and grace. Instead of rushing to the home of His friends, Jesus remained by the River Jordan for two more days. Jesus told the disciples that Lazarus was sleeping and He would now go to awake him. Jesus had said Lazarus' illness was to bring glory to God. Now that Lazarus had died, it was time for Him to go to Bethany to accomplish God's will. Jesus arrived and Martha said, unto Jesus, if you had come earlier He wouldn't have died. Jesus said, your brother will rise again. Jesus' statement is profound in that His deity could not be proclaimed in any greater way. He not only states He has the power over life and death, but that He was the resurrection and life. Only Almighty God has power of life and death as He is the giver and taker of both. In Him is true life and those that believe and receive Him in faith will have everlasting life. We are sure to rise again. Read John 11:34-45, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. Heavenly Father, we are grateful to you Lord. We are grateful for your love, your spirit that dwell within us. We are grateful for your one and only Son Jesus Christ. We are grateful for the blood of Jesus that makes us whole again. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
