Three hidden truths

 

Three hidden truths from three parables Luke 15

It has been said a parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning.  Our LORD Jesus as the great master / teacher used this means of teaching to His disciples, we who are believers and to all that seek Him.

Now, each of the three parables have a story and lesson for all.  But here are the hidden truths.

First, in verses 3-7 the parable of the lost sheep. We see, what an earthly shepherd would do. But a deeper teaching is what the great and Good shepherd did for us all. He left Heaven, he left the throne of Glory, to go and come to the earth to find the lost sheep. Luke said, in his book, Jesus come to seek and save that which was lost. So not only does it who and what an earthly shepherd would do, but it shows what the LORD Jesus did for us. It shows His love, His looking and His labor for the lost sheep. And this teaches us salvation.

Secondly, parable # 2, the parable of the lost coin verse 8-10.  The bible teaches the bride of Christ as a woman. All believers, all those who have been saved by the grace of GOD through faith are apart of the Bride of Christ.  And so this is a message from Jesus to his bride the church.  Clean your house, your heart, and find that one valuable thing you lost. Ten is the number of testimonies, perhaps she lost one part of her testimony. Your testimony with man and GOD.  First, she lighted a candle or lamp, GOD’s light always shows that something is missing, it exposes the blemish and the wrong, it shows where you need to clean. May I say, many times, it is your heart, your head(mind) and home.  The old testament patriot, KING David, say in the Psalms “Thy word is a lamp to my feed and a light to my path”. And this teaches us sanctification. 

Thirdly, parable # 3, the lost son. The son made a wild and worldly decision to leave the Father. But in his leaving, he found regret that he left the Father. So the Father was not mean or mad. But He longed for His lost son. Then was happy rejoiced when he came back.  Truly, showing the great love of the Father and our Heavenly Father. The Father hugged and loved him, praise the LORD, he loves you dear friend, you may come back to Him!! And this teaches reconciliation.

So, we see three earthly stories, the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost on, BUT, great is the Heavenly meaning!!

Dear friend, GOD is lovingly looking for YOU today, why want you call on Him, today, He is just a prayer away. And, most importantly, whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved, that could be you.

May GOD bless you,

I still believe in

 

I still believe in:

-Sin

Sin is the violation of the law (10 commandments & GOD’s word)

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4

- Salvation

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ⁹ Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9

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.

¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:9,10,13

Salvation is of the LORD, by grace through faith the gift of GOD, not of works.

- Sanctification

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:15-16

Set apart Living for Him, in our walk, words and ways.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11

- Service

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

² And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

2 Tim 2:1-2

Go ye into ALL the world, preach, teach, and reach each one!!

- Second Coming

(the rapture & His revelation)

And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:10-11

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:3

 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thess 4:16-17

A students LORD's prayer

 Lord's Prayer

By a 15-year-old school kid who got an A+ for this entry

(TOTALLY AWESOME)!

The Lord's Prayer is not allowed in most U.S. Public schools any more.

A kid in Minnesota wrote the following NEW School Prayer:-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God

Finds mention of Him very odd

If scripture now the class recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow

Becomes a Federal matter now

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise.

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice

For praying in a public hall

Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the State.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong.

We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot; My soul please take! Amen

Christians, we have to pray for America to turn back to GOD !!

Four Prophetical titles of JESUS

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. OF the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7

The prophet of the Old Testament, Isaiah, saw in the future the birth of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, GOD's son.

And being moved by this insight from GOD, he wrote in Chapter 9 of his book, these titles of the soon coming King, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Title # 1 "Wonderful Counsellor"

The word "Counsellor", in the original language of Hebrew means to advise , consult, give counsel.  And JESUS did this while on this earth, in his earthly ministry. His did this to his family, friends and his 12 disciples. They all sought counsel from Him, Do you need a counselor today??

Title # 2 "The Mighty GOD"

Jesus, being GOD's son, is actually GOD in the Flesh, GOD in human form. He is the bread that came down from heaven. So He was seen as GOD physically.  But JESUS was also seen as GOD in His might powers.  Healing the sick, calming the storms on the sea and raising the dead, truly a mighty GOD, but do you have a mighty GOD in your life ??

Title #3 "the everlasting Father"

The divinity of Christ implies his eternal existence, but in John 1:1 says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In the great trinity, GOD the Father, GOD the Son and GOD the Spirit are the three in one.

One could say a Father would lay down his life for those he loves. Do you have a that Heavenly everlasting Father ??

Title #4 " the Prince of Peace"

One thing this Prince will do is establish His kingdom on this earth. A future event to come. There will be many wars, but the Prince of Peace will make peace on this earth when He conquers his adversaries and evil ones. The prophet saw this to come in the future. But do you have peace in you life ??

Doesn't even the Christmas songs "peace on earth" because of His birth??

And there are many more things about the LORD JESUS CHRIST the bible tells us so.  But Do you know Him ??

Dear friend, yes you may know Him and you can know Him.  You are just a pray away, so bow your head, close your eyes, in your private time and call on JESUS.

For whosever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved !!

May GOD bless you and let me know if you call on Jesus.
