JESUS, Thank YOU!

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

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. - 1 THESSALONIANS 5:18

Praise our LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}!

JESUS Greetings, my friend,

     Welcome to another post of our JESUS CHRIST TRUE VINE MINISTRIES web Blog.  We're very happy you have decided to take time out of your busy schedule to join us today!  I pray you were able to make it to Church yesterday, but if not, please do not condemn yourself {ROMANS 8:1}.  Simply, do your best to get there next week, if the LORD JESUS Should Tarry {SAINT MARK 13:32}, for JESUS Commands us to not forsake "the assembling of ourselves together" {HEBREWS 10:25}.  Amen?

     Well, in today's post we wish to focus on one mannerism which I believe makes our LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST very happy and that is for us, as ALMIGHTY GOD'S dear children {1 JOHN 2:14}, showing forth a perpetual disposition of love by our giving of thanks unto HIM for all HE HAS Done in our lives {COLOSSIANS 3:17}.

     Let's face it.  When we look back over the timeline of our pilgrimage on this earth {GENESIS 47:9, PSALM 119:54}, we would not have made it this far, but for the Love, Compassion, and Guidance of our HEAVENLY FATHER, JESUS HIS SON, and THE PRECIOUS HOLY GHOST {SAINT JOHN 16:13}. 

     As I look over my life, I'm well-able to give a resounding shout of thanksgiving to our JESUS for HIS HAVING Saved me at nineteen years of age when a drunk driver ran a red light, and hit me while I was not wearing a seat belt.  I had a concussion and a large laceration in the back of my head and was unconscious for a moment.  In fact, my girlfriend at that time said she thought I was dead.  However, thanks be to my LOVE, JESUS CHRIST For HIS Having Spared my life, in order that I'd see the birth of my children, and not cause any sorrow unto my parents lives.  HALLELUJAH!  HALLELUJAH!  HALLELUJAH!!!

     Of course, my friend, there are many, many, many other miracles our LORD JESUS Has so Lovingly Accomplished in our lives, and I'm certain you can name more than a few concerning you, your relatives, or your friends.  Our ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST Has, as the older generation would say, Protected us from "dangers seen and unseen."  Remember, my friend, there is ALWAYS reason to give thanks unto our LORD AND GOD, JESUS CHRIST {SAINT JOHN 20:28}! 

     The major reasoning behind our thanksgiving is solely because HE Left the Comforts of Heaven in order to become a man and suffer DEATH, even the DEATH of the CROSS {PHILIPPIANS 2:8}, RESURRECTING THE THIRD DAY {SAINT MATTHEW 17:23, ACTS 10:40, 1 CORINTHIANS 15:4}, in order that we'd receive everlasting life with HIM, our FATHER, THE HOLY GHOST, HIS Angels, and our fellow Saints.  In fact when we receive Communion, we are showing HIS DEATH until HE Comes {1 CORINTHIANS 11:26}.  This remembering, although somber, is a cause for GREAT THANKSGIVING, as we focus our attention on the reason we have the privilege to be made right, reconciled unto our PRECIOUS HEAVENLY FATHER {2 CORINTHIANS 5:19}, and that is because our sins have been forgiven because of the shedding of the Precious BLOOD of our LORD JESUS CHRIST {SAINT MATTHEW 26:28, HEBREWS 9:22, EPHESIANS 1:7}.

     In today's Foundational HOLY BIBLE SCRIPTURE TEXT we see THE PRECIOUS HOLY SPIRIT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST Admonishing us, through the Pen of the Apostle Paul to give thanks in everything.  For this is the WILL of GOD in CHRIST concerning us {1 THESSALONIANS 5:18}.  When we KNOW ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD'S WILL, it does us well to obey HIS HOLY COMMANDS {1 SAMUEL 15:22}.

     As we saw briefly in an above paragraph, there always exists something for which we can offer up our thanksgiving to ALMIGHTY JESUS our LORD AND GOD.  A friend of mine said one of her Pastor's at her Church says, he doesn't care if our "toe hurts" we have a "back ache" or anything adversely is affecting us, there is always a reason to give ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD HIS DUE Praise!  This my friend is the absolute truth! 

     Lastly, my friend, I understand that some seasons in our lives may be better than others.  We all, as believers in CHRIST JESUS, go through something.  We do have an enemy, but let's be of "good cheer" because our BELOVED JESUS CHRIST at the CROSS AND IN HIS TRIUMPHANT THIRD DAY RESURRECTION, Has overcome the enemy by destroying his works {1 JOHN 3:8}, and HE HAS Overcome the world {SAINT JOHN 16:33}.  This, in and of itself, gives us ample reasoning to give ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD Thanksgiving, in that HIS BELOVED SON, our ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST Has ACCOMPLISHED an ETERNAL VICTORY for us, and we are forever saved, with a Mansion in Glory {SAINT JOHN 14:2} forever to be with our AWESOME CHRIST JESUS {1 THESSALONIANS 4:17}.  AMEN!  AMEN!  HALLELUJAH!  AMEN!  "Little children keep yourselves from idols. Amen. {1 JOHN 5:21}"
