The Pure Words Of Jesus

I think about Jesus when I read these words about the Lord's words.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

That's why I trust Jesus and His word to be the guide for my life.

The word of Jesus is pure and perfect and he is our strong shield: Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

The word of Jesus makes my heart happy and gives me wisdom: Psalm 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The word of Jesus is pure: Psalm 119:140 Thy word is very pure; therefore thy servant loveth it.

All Scripture points to Jesus. Remember what Jesus said to the disciples He met on the road after His resurrection? Luke 24:27: "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."

Let's pray: Please help us, Lord, to see Jesus in all of Scripture. Help us to read His clear instructions for life and eternal happiness. Amen.

I am against the prophets saith the LORD

Jeremiah 23:29-32

Is not my word like as a fire?” saith the LORD; “and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets,” saith the LORD, “that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets,” saith the LORD, “that use their tongues, and say, ‘He saith.’ Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams,” saith the LORD, “and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all,” saith the LORD.

How do we avoid the false prophets and their false teachings? Look to Jesus!

Hebrews 1:1-2

God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

Jesus said in Matthew 7:15-16, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?”

On the mountain where Jesus was transfigured (Matthew 17:5), it is written: “While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.’”

Jesus said in John 15:15, “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.”

Let’s encourage each other to seek Jesus in prayer and in His Word in the New Testament. He is all we need.

Family Tensions From Following Jesus

Matthew 10:34-39 “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.

For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

A man’s foes will be those of his own household.

He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me, isn’t worthy of me.

He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it."

Consider this:

Following Jesus has a price tag. Tension on earth now and guaranteed bliss in heaven!

Following Jesus can cause division in families. Family members who do not understand your decision to follow Jesus could consider you odd. Though you are not!

Following Jesus could cause members of your family to become your foe.

Following Jesus means taking up the cross of discipleship, the cross of self-denial, and possible affliction.

Following Jesus means you will find the true meaning for your life.

Is it worth it? Yes! Jesus said in Matthew 19:29, "Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life."

All Jesus All The Time

Colossians 2:6-8 "As therefore you received Christ Jesus, the Lord, walk in him,rooted and built up in him, 

and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.

Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ."

Consider this:

Number one, we have to receive Jesus.

Number two, we need to be established in faith in Jesus.

Number three, we need the teachings of Jesus and His apostles in the Bible to guide us.

Number four, we need to be thankful to God.

Number five, we need to be on guard that no one leads us away from the teachings of Jesus in the Bible.

Number six, enjoy walking and talking with Jesus every day and night!
