KNOWING YOUR BIBLE
March 28, 2022: Dear Friends, Today, we will continue our series on the humanity of Jesus. We are still in the Lenton Season as we study the life of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The goal of our study through the many blogs that have been posted in the past, is to help the follower of Jesus draw nearer and closer to our Lord Jesus. Studying Jesus’ humanness should open our minds to insights that we may have not realized in the past and draw us nearer to him. Go to the website above left and return to the blog written on March 6. If time allows, read and study that blog, then progress to the next two blogs to review our Lenton study of Jesus’ life and humanness.
The focus of today’s blog will be on the love of Jesus. Jesus loves all, those of different races, of different backgrounds, of different beliefs and values, those that are different. His love is all encompassing and all-inclusive, allowing the receiver of his love to comprehend the wonderful feeling of his love, Perceiving and understanding that love, brings overwhelming joy into our inner-most beings, strengthening our faith and belief in Jesus. The feelings of love that Jesus has for us are carried in our mind, day-by-day, helping us to realize his presence in us and his guidance and direction in our everyday lives.
As one searches and reads the below Bible verses on love, consider spending time thinking of the love of Jesus has for you, your love of and for Jesus, and how this love has affected your life, your thinking and actions. If one has not realized the love of Jesus in one’s life, if the realization of his love has not filtrated into one’s thinking, spend more time studying Jesus’ life through Bible Study. Remember, Jesus’ birth, life, death by crucifixion and his resurrection, are found in the New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Choose one of the books to read through. Or skim through several pages, highlighting important verses that are meaningful, focusing on all that Jesus taught about love. Study his examples of demonstrating love to hundreds, if not thousands, during his life here on earth. Praying to God, asking God’s help in bringing one nearer and closer to Jesus, (Matthew, chapter 6, verses 5and 6; and chapter 7, verses 7-11), will help in fostering our love for Jesus and in realizing Jesus’ love for us.
MAY GOD BLESS YOUR BIBLE STUDY THIS WEEK!
