Acts 9:5 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
Ephesians 2:8 ‘…For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God…’ AKJV
Romans 10:9 ‘…that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…’ AKJV
Jesus, Help me Father to reach out and touch that person out there, that is so badly wanting to find You. Help me Jesus show people how many times they have been lied to by those in this world spreading a false gospel. Jesus, You made it possible for every person in this country alone; to own and possess You’re Word that You desire from us. Help them Jesus to find the strength within themselves that they would open Your Word so they could be ARMED and SAVED with Your love. I love You Jesus. Amen.
The Bible verses we’re going to use this morning are:
Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20; Matthew 15:24; 2 Timothy 3:16; Romans 11:11; Acts 9:15.
Please study with me this morning, not with what I believe in, or what your pastor, priest, church or its denomination may preach to you, but rather, let’s study WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN THE WORD OF GOD, our Holy Bibles.
To begin with, the Word of God was kept by the Jewish nation, in the form of scrolls, which the Jewish Orthodox Pharisees read aloud daily to the Jews.
The Jews that visited the synagogues were able to hear the writings that had been passed down from generation to generation.
Jesus came to this earth to fulfill Old Testament prophesy that many of these Orthodox Pharisees had overlooked.
This is the same problem we find today in the 21st century, the teachers of the Word of God have simply overlooked what God has given us in His Word and instead they are only preaching what they or their church and denomination follow.
Teachers, pastors, priests, churches and their denominations found in this world today are not going to save you … the ONLY One that can promise you Everlasting LIFE is Jesus Christ, Himself.
There are too many today that have either overlooked God’s true Message, or they have been convinced by Satan himself, to teach what he wants this world to hear instead of this world HEARING what God is trying to tell us.
Let’s first begin with what Jesus taught us while He walked this earth in His earthly ministry to the Jewish people.
Matthew 26
vs26 ‘…And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body…’
vs27 ‘…And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it…’
vs28 ‘…for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins…’ AKJV
Mark 14
vs22 ‘…And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body…’
vs23 ‘…And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it…’
vs24 ‘…And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many…’ AKJV
Luke 22
vs19 ‘…And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me…’
vs20 ‘…Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you…’ AKJV
Jesus is telling His disciples at the end of the Last Supper, that through His death, mankind’s sins would be forgiven, ALL mankind.
Many should ask themselves; do they really believe in what Jesus spoke of at the Last Supper?
Ask yourself: do you really BELIEVE what Jesus voiced?
That His BLOOD would forgive ALL of mankind’s sins.
Why is it that today in the 21st century, as soon as Easter, Jesus’ resurrection is celebrated after His death on the cross at His crucifixion, so many in this world that call themselves Christians, will immediately return back to Jesus’ earthly ministry the day after Easter Sunday and relive His life, once again?
His ministry while He walked this earth was ONLY to the Jewish people.
Not only that, but Jesus’ earthly ministry, when He was alive, before His death, burial and resurrection … no sins were promised to be forgiven to anyone.
Jesus was brought to this earth to fulfill prophecy that was made to the early Jewish forefathers.
Jesus even tells us this Himself, He tells us He came only for the Jew.
Matthew 15:24 ‘…But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel…’ AKJV
Why do so many today call themselves believers but they won’t even open up their own Bibles and read His Word that He has given us?
Why are there those that will only read the parts of the Bible their church teaches to them to read?
ALL Scripture has been given to us by God, Himself.
2 Timothy 3:16 ‘…All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…’ AKJV
Don’t allow yourself to be trapped into believing what has not been written in this verse … WE HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD TO FOLLOW ALL SCRIPTURE.
Don’t allow yourself to be tricked and fooled by Satan.
ALL Scripture is given to us by God, but NOT ALL Scripture has been meant for ALL OF US to FOLLOW.
After Jesus resurrection, He came to this earth to live with the Jews for forty days and forty nights.
Eventually, Jesus Ascended up into heaven to remain sitting next to His Father.
This time after the ascension is written about in the Book of Acts, written by Luke, the same writer of the synoptic gospel of Luke.
Acts 1 through 6 are all about the failure of the Jewish individual living in the manmade Orthodox religion.
God remained alongside His Chosen people until chapter seven when Stephen was stoned to death by the Sanhedrin, Acts 7.
It was after this stoning of Stephen when God no longer walked alongside His Chosen people, the Jew.
In Romans we can read where God put His Chosen people on the back burner.
Romans 11:11 ‘…I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy…’ AKJV
God determined to no longer keep His
Chosen in the front of the line. God didn’t write anywhere in His Word that the Gentiles in this world were to simply replace the Jewish believer either.
God made a change in His approach to His promise of Everlasting Life, He no longer only wanted to save the Jewish people, GOD DESIRED TO SAVE ALL MANKIND.
In Acts chapter 9, God chose Saul to be His CHOICE to teach the entire world what He, wanted the people of the world to know.
I believe the most powerful verse found in the entire Bible is when God makes it clear who He CHOSE.
Acts 9:15 ‘…But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel…’ AKJV
God NEVER changed what He wanted. His change was from saving only the Jewish people, to now be saving EVERY person on the planet earth that believes what God wants from us.
The apostle Paul wrote thirteen (13) epistles that we are to learn what it is that God wants from us so we can attain Everlasting Life.
And just as obvious, it is up to us to read what God wants from us.
Satan doesn’t want each one of us to be saved.
He wants for us ALL to be destroyed so we can not attain what Satan himself, once had.
Read your Bible and go beyond what some man tells you to read.
Read the Word God wants you to HEAR.
I will be back next Wednesday.
I love ALL of y’all.
I am InHIM.><)))o>
Jesus, I hope there are those out there in this world today that desire to find You Jesus. Comfort them and keep them near to You. Allow them to HEAR the Message You want them to HEAR. I love You. Amen.
