I have a question that
only applies to certain people. These are the good folks, which are working for
the Lord. Most of us don’t even care anything about working, for the Lord. Some
of us call attending a church service working, for the Lord. Whatever we do, or
don’t do, for Jesus is the things that, I am speaking about. This causes another
question to rise, besides those that I already had prepared to ask. Do we, or how do we know what it is to truly
work, for our Lord?
A lot of people seem to
know the Lord, and everything about Him. I am one that is far from that knowledge.
I don’t understand the things of the Lord, unless Holy Spirit reveals them to
me. I often read or, listen to what other human being reveal, what they say
that Holy Spirit has revealed to then. There are times that my Spirit quickly
confirms the accuracy of the statement. Other times it appears to be foolishness
and I have to back away.
I would really like to go
to the third book of John, for our study today. I think that we need to take
this pretty much verse by verse, to achieve any real understanding. This starts
with a man, not just any man. This man was a ruler of the Jews, and a Pharisee.
His name was Nickodemus, and he was a teacher of the laws of God. Nickodemus could
be acquainted with a modern day Theologian. He was intelligent, and well
educated.
Nickodemus came to seek
the Lord at night. The reason probably is that he didn’t want the rest of the Pharisees
to know what he was doing. Nickodemus realized something that more of the
others didn’t grasp. Verse 2 states that Jesus is a teacher comes from God, and
then he said that no man was capable to do the miracles which He did if He wasn’t
of God.
Verse 3 says Jesus
answered and said something that didn’t really have to do with what Nickodemus
had said to begin with. Jesus understood why Nickodemus had come in the first
place, and simply cut to the chase. Jesus explained how a man could be born again,
because it is a qualification to receive a new life, and be a part of the kingdom
of God, and receive eternal life. Nickodemus
was confused, and ask the question of how can these things be?
This is getting really
close, to the point that, I would like to bring out today. Jesus is starting to
speak again, and I feel that it is very important to hear His Words. I believe that if we never heard another
person speak, beside Jesus that we would be much better off. There is a reason
that He is the Way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)
Jesus is starting to say
some Words that I find very interesting, while talking with Nickodemus.
John 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that
we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
This is very important to
me the way that Jesus words this phrase. We speak the things that we do know,
and we provide evidence for, to bear witness, and there is always a reason that
you don’t relieve the truth from us.
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye
believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Here is my point; if we
are too shallow to believe, and understand the thing of the earth, in which we
live. What are the things that Jesus can’t even share with us? It seems that Jesus wanted to share
everything with us that we could possibly understand, or either be made to
understand. I honestly believe, and this is my own opinion that, the only
reason that Father held back the time that Jesus would return to the earth was
the fact that Jesus would tell those whom He loved.
Yes,…..that is right,……….Jesus
loved us all!! Straight from the
creation of Adam, until the last human to be created on the earth. There is
great love from Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for all those that were created
in the image, of our God.
What Heavenly things do
you think that, Jesus was talking about in John 3:12? According to another scripture in the Word
of God, I believe that there are a lot waiting for us, in the land of Heaven. Apparently
we have enough trouble make a plain decision, whether or not to burn or not,
and the way that we should be acting while on the earth.
I have gotten too far away
from, my other question, to ask it. I believe that I have given us enough to
ponder. Even if we have made the decision for Salvation, and understand that
decision comes along with a relationship, or just considering taking Jesus
Christ, as Lord and Savior. There is always room for improvement. There is only one choice that comes with
regrets, and choosing our Mighty Creator and His beloved Son is not regrettable
in any way. Ain’t Jesus Awesome?
….Much Love
