JESUS IS Our REST

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. - SAINT MATTHEW 11:28 - BIBLEHUB.COM

Praise JESUS CHRIST, I'm Healed!

JESUS Greetings, Family in CHRIST!

     Now I know some may be wondering why having normally started out previous blog  posts with two or three HOLY BIBLE Verses and then beginning this blog with 'Praise JESUS CHRIST', that at this time I've included the statement "I'm Healed!"  Well, let me explain a bit why I've shared this statement of exuberance.

     You see, many of our readers don't know my story of battling spiritual and mental health problems, as well as physical problems as I'm relearning my gait, in order that I may accomplish my CHRIST-GLORIFYING goal to walk any day now.  HALLELUJAH!  Well, as you can imagine, as I'm continuously, by GOD'S HOLY GRACE writing these blogs concerning the HEALING BALM OF THE WORD OF GOD,  JESUS CHRIST, Provided By Way OF HIS GREGARIOUSLY-TRIUMPHANT DEATH AND RESURRECTION unto the masses, the enemy of our souls attempts to stop me or get me in an attitude that does not enjoy the Riches of ALMIGHTY GOD'S Grace {EPHESIANS 1:7, 2:7} and Rest.  This is why I love the LORD JESUS CHRIST so much, because I don't always get it right, but I know, yea rather am known {GALATIANS 4:9}, by the ONE WHO HAS AND CONTINUES TO GET IT RIGHT EVERY TIME, and WHO Does "all things well {SAINT MARK 7:37}."

     In today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE, we see a familiar Passage of the HOLY BIBLICAL TEXT where our JESUS CHRIST Implores us to come unto Him and attain unto His Rest {SAINT MATTHEW 11:28}.  This REST is not just a happenstance, It is also a Person, the Person of JESUS CHRIST!  Under the OLD COVENANT, we keep the SABBATH {JEREMIAH 17:22}, while under the NEW COVENANT, JESUS IS our REST.  Nothing we go through in life or have gone through has been a surprise to Almighty JEHOVAH GOD.  It is up to us to not let guilt and shame enter into our thought-life just because we've missed the mark today in thought, word, or deed. When we've sinned, ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD Has Already Made GREAT Provision for our attaining unto repentance, THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE ON CALVARY'S CROSS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 19, AND 20}!  He also says if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness {1 JOHN 1:9}.

     In order that we come to the Rest offered by CHRIST JESUS, we need to remember Who JESUS IS, and Who HE is not.  HE IS LOVE {SAINT JOHN 15:3, 1 JOHN 4:8, 16}.  Remember, "love is patient, love is kind... {1 CORINTHIANS 13:4}", just because we keep missing the mark in sin time after time, we need to remember that our SALVATION in CHRIST JESUS Alone is eternally secure.  No one can pluck us out of His Hands {SAINT JOHN 10:28}.  God is not a cruel-taskmaster waiting to accuse and pounce on us every time we make a mistake.  That is what the devil does.  He is the accuser of the brethren {REVELATION 12:10}.  Because we belong to CHRIST JESUS, we are in a battle every single day {EPHESIANS 6:12}, and the battle is won in our thoughts By the Holy Spirit of GOD, and the Word of God. We'd do well to perpetually renew our minds, by continuing to stay in the WORD OF GOD, THE HOLY BIBLE {EPHESIANS 4:23}, and when something comes up on our grid of thought that is not lined up with the WORD AND LOVE OF GOD, we need to cast down that imagination immediately {2 CORINTHIANS 10:5} and not give it a second thought.

     So, let me encourage you family to keep on keeping on.   The beloved Apostle SAINT Paul admonishes us By the PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST to forget those things which are behind and to press on toward the mark of the prize of the high calling in CHRIST JESUS {PHILIPPIANS 3:13}.  My friend let us rest in the LORD JESUS, and rid ourselves from all fear and discontent that we may be vessels of GOD unto honor {2 TIMOTHY 2:20}, fit for the MASTER'S Use {2 TIMOTHY 2:21}. "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}"

The SALVATION Mandate
