What Did Jesus Say? - About Hunger?

By: Robert A. Searles

Jesus said; “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5: 6.

Those of us who have been “born again” into the family of God by the grace of God, through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, still live in a heathen world full of sin and corruption. We are in the world, but not of the world. The banqueting table of this sinful world no longer nourishes us and we suffer from spiritual malnutrition, because the substance of the world cannot meet our spiritual need. Once we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good, the sweetmeats of the world become bitter to us, and does not satisfy. We hunger, and long, and desire for something better than that which the world has to offer. We hunger and thirst for the table that God has promised to spread for us in the wilderness.

Jesus told us that when we truly desire and hunger for the things of God and thirst for his righteousness we will be blessed and he will fill us. God our Father will not allow his children to suffer spiritual famine if we truly desire to be fed by him.

What did Jesus say? - About meekness?

 What did Jesus say? - About meekness?

By: Robert A. Searles

    What did Jesus say about meekness? Jesus said: "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5: 5.
    What does it mean to be meek? To be meek means to be submissive; to be humble; gentle, easily entreated.
    In our sin cursed world culture, meekness is sometimes considered weakness, where the world's philosophy is the survival of the fittest and strongest, and most aggressive; but Jesus taught otherwise. Jesus taught that meekness is strength and power, and will result in blessing from God.
    Meekness ought to be an outstanding attribute of a true child of God as he follows the example of Jesus.
    "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth." Isaiah 53.7 Jesus said: "Take my yoke upon you and lean of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest for your souls." Matthew 21:5
    An example of meekness is found in Moses who led the children of Israel out of the bondage of Egypt, of whom it was said that he was the meekest man on earth. "(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth)" Numbers 12:3. Another example of meekness is Jesus who exhibited extreme meekness at his trial and crucifixion, yet he conquered the most formidable enemy of all, death itself, and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, waiting for the signal to come and reclaim the earth and its' inhabitants for the glory of God as king of kings and Lord of Lords.
Let us pray that we can be more like Jesus because he has told us that the meek will eventually inherit the earth.

What did Jesus say? - About Mourning?

What did Jesus say? - About Mourning?

By: Robert A. Searles

To mourn means to feel sorry for..; to grieve for something or someone.
"It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart." Ecclesiastes 7:2.
    We can never be truly happy and blessed while we are feasting with the world in the pleasures of sin. There is pleasure in sin for a season. The temporary pleasures of sin come and go and in the end we are left empty and desolate, but when we come to the place in our life where we realize the consequences of being forever lost and separated from God, because "The wages of sin is death", we enter into the house of mourning, as it were, and when we truly feel sorry and grieve over our sinful condition and separation from God, and ask God's forgiveness, then we are blessed and comforted.
    When we mourn because of our sin, then God is there to lift us up, forgive us, and comfort us.
Jesus said: "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4.

What did Jesus say? - Repent!

What did Jesus say? - Repent

By: Robert A. Searles

Jesus said: Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17.
Up until the time that Jesus came upon the scene and presented himself to John the Baptist to be baptized by him as a token of his identification with the human race, the worship of God was ceremonial, for the most part. People lived pretty much as they pleased. For the most part people were concerned only for their own needs and pleasure, religious, strict keepers of the law out of fear, but having no heart for it. They feared an angry wrathful God, as they thought of him, whom they thought was more eager to pour out his wrath and punishment, than to love , show mercy and forgive. An eye for an eye and tooth for tooth mentality prevailed. People were lying, cheating and killing one another in business as well as in religious matters.
Jesus came with an all new philosophy. Jesus was the manifestation of God the Father in human flesh. He came to reveal to the world the true nature of God. God is love, God is kind, God is merciful, God is more willing to forgive sins than to pour out his wrath and punishment if people will only confess their sins and ask for forgiveness.
To repent means to come to a place in our sojourn through life when we stop and examine ourselves, examine our thinking and attitudes, look into the depth of our own heart and root out all bitterness, envy, strife, covetousness, and anything that does not reflect the image and glory of God.
Jesus taught us to repent: to stop and take a good look at ourselves and if we are going in this direction to turn completely around - repent - and go in the direction of God; to follow his teaching about God and his love and mercy, and to look forward to the coming kingdom of God.
We all need to take a good look at our lifestyle. What do we believe? What are our attitudes? What are our ambitions? Are we on the right road to inherit the kingdom of God? Have we truly believed and received Christ as our savior? If not, we need to do as Jesus said: "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17.

ipWhat Did Jesus say? - About Worship

What Did Jesus say? - About Worship?
By: Robert A. Searles

    Worship - what is worship?  Worship is said to be the act of showing reverence, adoration -  to adore; to love; and to admire
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. It was made by him, and was all his from the beginning, but he temporarily laid aside all that rightly belonged to him so as to become one of us earthlings, made a little lower than the angels, so that he could share in our miseries, and pay our sin debt so that we could be like him.
 Many wonderful things that God has made and placed within our reach tempt us to be covetous.
    Satan, while tempting Jesus, reminded him of all the kingdoms of the world that he could rule over if he would just turn his affections away from God the Father, and worship him, who had gained control of all these things through the fall of the human race.
 Satan said to Jesus: "All these things will I give thee if thou will fall down and worship me." In other words, Satan was saying, all can be yours if you will reverence, adore, love and admire me above all else, including God the Father.
 What did Jesus say? "Then saith Jesus unto him, get thee hence, Satan, for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve." Matthew 4: 10

 This beautiful world that God has made is full of enticements for us to covet . Some things are good for us; others are not right for us to have. We are likewise tempted by our flesh, and by Satan to neglect the worship and service to God to go after those things, forgetting that God our Father, who gave his only begotten son to save us, will thru him also give us freely all good things to enjoy if we will dedicate our worship and service to him only.

   When we seek material things more than we seek a spiritual relationship with God our Father, we are falling into Satan's trap to worship him. The result is that we may have pleasure and comfort for a season, but in the end only misery and desolation.

   Let us be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, and remind ourselves as Jesus said:” It is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serve." Math 4:10

What did Jesus say? - About tempting God, to Prove him?

What did Jesus say? - About tempting God, to Prove him?

By: Robert A. Searles

 What did Jesus say about tempting or trying to prove God?
While Jesus was fasting in the wilderness, he was tempted by the devil to prove whether or not he was truly the son of God. If he was, in fact God, then it seemed reasonable to him that he could throw himself down from the pinnacle of the temple and he would not be harmed, thus proving God's word and promise that God would keep him from all harm.
Jesus said: "It is written again, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Matthew 4: 7.
That which God has told us in his word is true and to be believed, and must be accepted and taken by faith. We are not to tempt God by trying to prove him. God cannot be proved by any human effort.
Many times in our daily lives and activities, we have a tendency to want to prove God and his love for us. We sometimes challenge his authority, and when we do, we get into deep trouble. God has given to us certain laws which must be obeyed, both physical and spiritual. When we disobey these laws we must suffer the consequences.
Let us always remember what Jesus said, that it is written in the word of God that we are not to tempt or try to prove the Lord our God.
