Who is Jesus? Part 17 (A1) Consider Jesus the Creator





Who is Jesus? Part 17 (A1) Consider Jesus the Creator


John begins his gospel in chapter one by referring to Jesus as the "Word;" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.   John also calls Jesus the creator who made all things and without him not anything was made.

John is reminding us that In Christ Jesus who was Life it's self, is the one who brings light to men. Jesus is willing to take a person out of death and darkness and bring them into the Light and life of His Kingdom.

John continues to speak about Jesus as the Word saying "and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John is giving testimony that he and others had been physical witnesses of Jesus and the mighty works that He had done.

As we go on, it is important for us to remember that John called Jesus - God; and that He is "The creator of all things."

As Jesus ministered and healed many people, there were multitudes that surrounded him, pressing and pushing. I am reminded that Jesus would often retreat to a desert place or a mountain, to rest and pray to His Father God.

One day by the sea as the crowd circled Jesus, he spied two ships as the fishermen were washing their nets. Jesus asked if he might sit in one of the boats and they gave permission. This would give him relief from being poked and pressed upon, but yet he was able to minister from a safe place.

After teaching for several hours, Jesus requested Peter to launch out into the deep and cast out his net. Peter replied, we have toiled all night and caught nothing nevertheless at your word we will do this."

These men probably realized how ridiculous this was, but again they decided; "Why not?" So they threw their nets over the side and suddenly their nets were full of fishes, so full they had to call others to help them bring the nets in lest they break. Peter, with James and John the sons of Zebedee and the others with them were astonished, and Peter fell down at Jesus feet saying, Lord I am a sinful man. Jesus was all knowing and he was able to see something great in Peter and the others, so Jesus told them, Don't be afraid, because from now on you shall become fisher's of men. And they forsook all and followed Jesus.

As we consider what just happened - - and ask how did those fish get into that net? May I remind you that Jesus is the Creator. Two things could be what happened. Either Jesus was like a "Fish Whisperer" and called all the fish to come jump into the net, or I prefer to believe Jesus created fish from nothing to be placed them into the net.

Jesus being the creator is able to take from your past and create for you a new future. If you have never done so, today is the day to receive Jesus into your life and allow him to be your savior and friend. He will never forsake you or leave you.

Entering the Holy Place – Properly Dressed

                                                                Entering the Holy Place – Properly Dressed Being properly clothed is important. When a person goes for a job interview, it would be wise to dress for success. First impressions are often made by the appearance of the applicant. A  person's  attitude and how they feel about themselves is often revealed by the visual aspect. The Bible mentions spiritual garments for the  Christian . We often consider the armor of God mentioned in Ephesians chapter 6, as we cloth ourselves for the tasks of the day.  " Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and...

  BIBLE FOUNDATIONS (a Study of Bible Truths) THE WORD OF GOD - - Introduction May I suggest that you have a pen and paper handy to take down the references. I will be reading each scripture, but they will not be written out on my blog. It is good to read the scriptures for yourself. If your “real” bible is handy and you are quick, you may turn and read the scripture. The Bible is the Word of God speaking to you. “Thus saith the Lord” is repeated over two thousand times from Exodus to Deuteronomy. God and His Word are one. The Word is always now. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him  are   Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Jesus is the Word, and He is the Living Word. Jesus is called the Logos. Jesus is the Logos, and the Logos is a living thing - - not only in the book, not only on the written page, - - but also on the lips of the believer. Hebrews 4:12 (Moffat Translation) “The Logos of God is a living thing, activ...

How to Change a Culture

How to Change a Culture !!   I Peter 4:12 NLT     Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Our Bible Study teacher opened the meeting by praying over the Students that the Holy Spirit would saturate each one with God’s Presence giving them grace to stand when trouble comes their way. Reckless living brings consequences.  Each “Culture” has their own sin, but we choose to shun evil and live right.  As a church here, do we affect those who accept and live in this sinful culture?  We do not accept their sin, but we accept and love the person.  Making wise choices can change your future. In the apostles day they were in a culture mirrored by today’s society.  Paul admonished Christians to abstain from sexual sin, not to partake of meat offered to idols and not to drink blood.  In today’s world we could add habits that lead to addiction....
