Jesus is the Son of God!

It is so easy to have doubt.  Doubt that Jesus was really who we believe that He is or that He was really the ONE.  I know that I have had my fair share of doubt and it has only come recently too.  Satan is trying to get me to stop pursuing a relationship with Christ, and so he is implanting these seeds of doubt in my mind.  Like, “was Jesus really THAT arrogant to think that HE was the son of God?” or “People like Joseph Smith claimed to be the be-all-end-all for his religion – Mormons only really look at his good things that he did, not the bad (of which there was plenty…)”  It is so easy to say – “why do I believe that Jesus is the son of God?”

You know- the Bible wasn’t always the Bible.  It was written all over the place, it was brought together by people to give us a glimpse into who and what God really is and was and is to come.  It was written all over the world, in different parts of the world at different times in the world.  These people didn’t set out and say, “I think that I am going to write a Bible today”, they were recording history and their situations.  Something that helped me was looking into it on-line.  I love that MIT did a study on it!  It was about how many prophesies did Jesus fulfill?  There were 48 main prophesies that were made and Jesus fulfilled everyone of them – the likelihood that he could fulfill even 8 of these, mathematically speaking, is one in ONE TRILLION.  Okay – if that wasn’t enough – he fulfilled everyone of them! 

“The chance of any one man's fulfilling all of 48 prophecies is one in ten to the 157th power.  The electron is about as small an object as we can imagine.  If we had a cubic inch of these electrons and tried to count them, it would take us (at 250 per minute) 19,000 times 19,000 times 19,000 years to count them. Now mark one of them and thoroughly stir it into the whole mass.  What chance does our blindfolded man have of finding the right electron?”  (http://www.eons.com/blogs/entry/1332824-How-Many-Bible-prophecies-Did-Jesus-Fulfill-)

And that is only ONE of the many sites that speak of all the prophesies that Jesus fulfilled.  They detail quite a few of them out.  It is pretty cool to know, and be reassured, that we are following the Son of God- that the likely hood is so low that there would be another that could ever fulfill all the prophesies made, all over the world and at different times in the world.  Praise God!

John 1:1-5
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”

Definitely get into scripture and see for yourself, research and be reassured.  I feel like I am on Reading Rainbow back in the day…  “But don’t take my word for it…”

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...

Duct Tape

Starting tomorrow I am offering duct tape classes at church for our day camp type program called xplore 2011.   Now… for those of you that don’t know this – I am a little duct tape fanatic.   I love that there are different colors, I love that you can cut it and mold it and shape it and make just about anything with it.   My biggest projects have been purses and wallets, but I also have made tiaras, necklaces, earrings, hair bows, jackets.   I was commissioned by Duck Brand Duct Tape to do the jackets as well as make a lot of flowers.   I think it is a lot of fun! In these camps – we want to have some type of children’s message and I have been struggling to figure out what exactly I was going to talk about until a lady from our church yesterday informed me that we were going to be having a lot of kids from the lower income section of our town coming to this camp.   For my – my response was FANTASTIC!!!   She then reminded me that I needed to make sure...

Wedding Bells

My little sister gets married on Saturday – I am really super excited for her.   This is a huge deal and she has found a great guy to get married to.   The wedding will be fun, but the marriage is what counts.   I really think that they are going to be so happy together and I am so excited.   Before the marriage starts though, we are having a big old hooplah- celebration this week – soooo…   since I don’t own a lap-top, I will be taking a break from posting for 1 week   - to resume again on Wed the 27 th . Back to today’s devotion though.   With all the wedding talk, it has really made me think about how we are to be the Bride of Christ.   The Bible talks about it all the time.   Song of Songs is kinda the “weird” book in the Bible.   The bride to be and bridegroom are talking about each other and how much they love each other.   It just this morning occurred to me that it is how God wants our relationship with Him to be.   Le...
