VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith ... First, Last And Always!

Unbelief And Guilt Are Darkness!
Faith And Righteousness Are Light!
The Promises Of God Provide For Our Pardon
And
Make The Way Plain For Us Willing
To Bring To Our Lord Pleasure And Delight!

**--**--**--**

Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength
Honor, Glory, Blessing!

Who Or What Are You Talking About!?!

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Why!?!

He Is Coming To Earth Again!

And!?!

I Am Waiting For Him!

Why!?!

He Is Coming For Me!

Why!?!

He Loves Me!
I Love Him!
He Died To Save Me!
I Am His Greatly Beloved Child
And
That Entails Glory For Me!

He Purchased Me A Pardon!

For What!?!
What Did You Do!?!

I Sinned Against The Holy God!
I Was Marked For Death!
Jesus Christ Purchased The Pardon For Sin
For Me Personally
So I Am Awaiting His Coming Gladly!

That's Nice!
Can Anybody At All Get A Personal Pardon As Well!?!

Most Assuredly, My Friend!
There Is Water For Whosoever Will In The Well
That Gives Life To All Who Choose His Promises To Believe
And
Choose To Not Let Themselves ... Anymore
By Satan To Be Deceived!

I Like How You Said That!
What Do I Have To Do!?!

You Must Confess Your Known Sins!
You Must From Sinning Repent ...!

... Repent!?!

Yes!
Repent As In Turn Away From Sin
Don't Do It Again
Deny The Carnal Side Of Life
And
Do Not The Name Of The Living God Holy
Shame, Misuse ... Profane!

That's A Tough One!

Not At All, My Friend!
Jesus Christ Is The Answer!
He Has Given Us Access To The Father's Throne!
He Has Shown Us The Way To Live
Unveiled The Power Of Prayer Over The Sin Life
Modelled A Perfect Way To Pray For Help
Promised Us Power Over Sin
- At The Throne Of Grace -
And
Promised Us To Never Leave Us Alone!

For All Of Our Personal Sins
He, Himself ... Innocent
Before The Father ... Once For Us All ... Did Atone!

I Believe Him At His Holy Word
And
When He Comes Again
With Him, I Am Going Home!

Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength
Honor, Glory, Blessing!

You Said That Already!
Why Are You Repeating Those Words Again!?!

They're A Reminder!

Of What!?!

They Are A Reminder That 
Jesus Christ Is King Of Heaven And Earth!
They Are All His Attributes!
He Has Them All
And
He Can Give To Me
If
I Am Faithful, Obedient, And Enduring!

Okay ... But I Don't Like That Enduring Bit!
That Sounds Like Trouble!

It Is!

Oh, Dear Lord!
Are You Mad!?!

Nope!
I Am Saved By Grace ... Through Faith!
Jesus Says His Grace Is Sufficient For Me
That He Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake Me
That He Will Never Leave Me Comfortless
That He Is My Shepherd
That I Shall Not Know Want
That He Is Preparing A Place For Me
And
That Holy Angels ... Excelling In Strength
Guard And Protect Me
And
Influence Me To Do Good
So That I Shall Be Blessed!

Sounds Like A Good Setup!

Oh, It's Way More Than That!
It's A Foundation
A Roof
Tables
Chairs
Food
Fellowship
A Heavenly Banquet Prepared
For All Who Believe
Who Love
Honor, Trust, Worship, Obey
And
Care Enough To Be Prepared
To Meet The King When He Comes
And
His Eternal Glory Share!

I Hear You ... But I Have To Ask:
Is The Feast Really Worth The Enduring Bit!?!

Friend, 
Jesus Christ Conquered Sin, Self, Satan
Hell, Death
And 
The Cold, Cruel, Grave!
He ... As Triumphing Conqueror
Got Up From The Grave
Severing The Power Of Death
And
Demolishing Satan's Power Over Us!

Permit Me To Make Myself Plain:
I Believe The Lord Jesus Christ!
I Despise The Sin-Life!
I Am Walking To Narrow Way To Hill Zion
And
By Almighty God's Great Grace
I Am Going To Receive
Jesus Christ's Eternal Life!

Wow!
You Sound Confident!

I Am!

Why!?!

F A I T H!
Fellowship And Inspiration Through Hope ... In Jesus Christ!
He Gives To Me A Gift Of His Faith ... Every. Single. Day.

Hmmm ...
I Get A New Life!?!

You Get A New Life ... In The Lord Christ!

Faith!?!

A New Supply Each And Every Day!

Never Alone!?!

Not Even For A Second!

Never Comfortless!?!

The Holy Spirit Of Truth
With You Shall Abide!

Abide!?!

The Holy Spirit Will Be Taking Up Residence!
Do You Know What That Means!?!

Yes, Yes!
I Really Believe That I Do!
I Guess, I Know, I'll Have To Do A Garbage Run!
Spring Clean!
Out With The Old!
In With The New!
Can't Let The Esteemed Visitor
Reside In A Pig-Pen!

I Like You!
I Like How You Think!
Let's Walk And Talk Together: We Agree!

Jesus Christ Will Be Here In A Blink
In The Twinkling Of An Eye
When The Last Trumpet Shall Sound
When The Heavens Shall Roll Up Like A Scroll!

The Archangel's Voice Shall Sound
And
The Dead In Christ Shall Rise ... First
And
Those Faithful Living
Who On The Earth Shall Remain
Shall Join Them To Meet The Lord In The Air
And
His Redeemed People Glorying
Shall See The Lord Christ
With Undimmed Eyes!

Hallelujah!

AMEN!!! 

Do You Know That Song
In The Sweet By And By ...!?!

... Faith ... First, Last And Always!
