THE MESSAGE ON THE T – SHIRT!
“JESUS
SATAN’S GREATEST NIGHTMARE”
While walking along Commerce Street in KAITAIA / New Zealand today, I ran into a brother in Christ wearing a T – shirt with the above writing on the front.
We got talking and it turned out that he is from South Africa, engaged in the work of the Lord and the guest speaker at one of the Churches here in this area. He is making the T – shirts himself.
I saw the joy of the Lord on his face.
What an encouragement. Praise the Lord!
“Thief in the night”
“Thief in the night” I am reading in one of our local papers. It is the first item under the heading “IN BRIEF”. (The Northland Age, Tuesday, April, 24, 2012)
I remember straight away that I am reading about a “thief in the night” somewhere else, namely in the BIBLE.
The BIBLE teaches about the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and says that the Time of His Coming is Unknown. (Matthew 24:36)
But the BIBLE teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ…..
1. …..”‘will come when least expected.'”(Luke 12:40)
2. …comes “‘as the lighting flashes in the east and shines to the west,.. ‘” (Matthew 24:27)
3. …will come “like a thief in the night.” (First Thessalonians 5:2) Also Revelation 3:3; Revelation 16:15.
Are you ready. Are you ready all the time? Are you watching for the Lord? You are blessed if you do!
BURDENS!
“In our troubles how constantly do we strive to bear our burdens ourselves, instead of casting them upon the Lord, that He may sustain us! – C. H. Spurgeon
TEMPTATION
“Temptation usually comes in through a door that has been deliberately left open.” – Arnold Glasow
FEARS
“Many of our fears are tissue paper thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them.” – Brendan Francis
“The Machine That Would Predict the FUTURE”
“The Machine That Would predict the FUTURE” is a TECHNOLOGY SPECIAL REPORT by David Weinberger and I am very much interested of course. (Scientific American, December 2011)
David Weinberger begins the SPECIAL REPORT with:
“If you dropped all the world’s data into a black box, could it become a crystal ball that would let you see the future – even test what would happen if you chose A over B? One researcher thinks so, and he could soon get a billion euros to build it.”
I read the BIBLE and believe what the BIBLE says!
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY CONCERNING THE ORIGINS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?
The Lord Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. You can read that in the gospel of Luke, Luke 2:4-7.
But there is also a prophecy in the BIBLE that the Lord would be born in Bethlehem. You find the prophecy in the BIBLE in the Old Testament in the book of Micah, Micah 5:2.
The Lord Jesus Christ was born of a virgin. Please read that in Matthew 1:18,22,23
And here is the prophecy that the Lord would be born of a virgin. You find the prophecy in the book called Isaiah, Isaiah 7:14.
There are more prophecies of course.
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY CONCERNING THE LIFE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?
The BIBLE says that He would suffer and make atonement for sin. We find the prophecy in Isaiah 53:4-6.
Where is the fulfillment? The fulfillment is recorded in Second Corinthians 5:21
The Bible says also that the Lord would ride into the city of Jerusalem on an ass. We find the prophecy in Zechariah 9:9.
Where is the fulfillment? On the Sunday called Palm Sunday is the fulfillment of this. Please read Matthew 21:2-5.
There are more prophecies of course.
Do you get what I am saying? I think you do!
