It Was Stated For The Record ...!

To Put It Simply Enough
So That Even A Child Will Understand:

If You Are In Danger Of Death
And
I Love You Enough
Be Ye Family, Friend Or Even Known Foe
And
In The Love Of Almighty God
I Make The Decision To Try And Save You
It Is Obvious, Painfully Obvious, That
In The Act Of Rescuing You
Aka Saving You
I Cannot At One 

And 

The Same Time
Save Myself!

Since This Is The Fact True
Why Would The False-Hearted Teachers
Those Chief Priests, Scribes And Elders
State For The Record:
He Saved Others And Cannot Save Himself!?!

Gimme A Piece Of This!
I Venture To Say
Without Fear Of Contradiction
That Those Chief Priests
Scribes And Elders
Were Constitutionally
And Spiritually Blind, Blind, Blind!

They Were Too Proud To Be Humble
To See That They Were Blind
And Unable To See!

I'll Take A C-Note's Portion Of That!

I'm In As Well!

So We Are Agreed!?!

Indeed!

The Innocent For The Guilty!
The Saint For The Sinner!
Divinity Dressed In Humanity
And
I, Repentant
Am The Greatest Winner!

Now, Brethren
Comes The Big Able Question:

When Will We Proud, Arrogant, Near-Sighted
Spiritually Blind, Boastful
Black-Hearted, Petty, Aggressive
Pecksniffian Types
Learn Humility
So That, To The Lord Of Light And Life
Earth And Glory
Peace And Rest
Truth And Righteousness
We May Be Personal Delights!?!

If We Don't Take The Lesson Soon
And
Learn The Answer Fast
We Are Going To Have A Big, Big, Problem!

Pray Tell, What Do You Mean By That Remark!?!

Psalm 15:1
The Big Who!!

The Sweet Psalmist
And Great King Of Israel, David
Asked The Lord GOD Almighty
The Life-Everlasting Question:

1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?

 who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

And

The Great God Told Him Quite Clearly
The Answer That Removes All Doubts:

2 He that walketh uprightly,

and worketh righteousness, 

and speaketh the truth in his heart.

Plain As Day The Lord Said That

Those Who Enter Hill Zion
Shall Have The Holy Character Of The Lord Christ
Faithfully Reproduced In Themselves!

And

The Lord ... Ever Gracious
Left No Doubt
As To Who Shall Not Enter Into
That Holy City:

3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue,

nor doeth evil to his neighbour,

nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

Wow!
That Excludes Satan
Cain

The Antediluvians
Nimrod
Pharaoh
King Saul
The Unrepentant Scribes

Pharisees, The Elders, And The Chief Priests

King Herod And Pontius Pilate
Who Conspired To And Abused And Killed Christ

And Emperor Nero And The Like!

The Lord Didn't Stop There!

He Also Clearly Stated The One Who Enters In Is One:

4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned;

but he honoureth them that fear the LORD.

He that sweareth to his own hurt,

and changeth not.

Again, The Character Of God And Christ
Is Brought To The Fore!

The Lord God Is The Same Always!

He Does Not Change!

His Character Is Fixed!

The Father Swore To His Own Hurt
When He Sent Jesus To Die For Us!
By Accepting The Commission
Jesus Christ Effected His Own Hurt
When He Died To Save Us All
Even Those Among Us Who Are
- Or Will Be -

Total Ingrates
By Refusing Abundant Life Now
And
Eternal Living In The Hereafter!

Sad! That's Really, Really Sad! 

Brethren,
We Must Be Wise Unto Salvation!
We Must Not Follow The Multitude
To Do Evil
Or We Shall Not Escape Damnation! 

Let's Not Despise The Great Salvation
Bought And Paid For With The Lord's Innocent Blood!

Did The Lord Say Anything Else About
Those Who Will Be Residents Of Zion!?!

Oh, Yes, Beloved!
The Last Statement Is Quite Telling! 

Listen To This:

The One Who Will Abide In Zion Is ...

5 He that putteth not out his money to usury,

nor taketh reward against the innocent.

He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Oh, Dear!

I'm Sure You Meant To Say The Dog Dead!

Wait For Me! I Don't Understand!

What Is The Root Of All Kinds Of Evil!?!

That's Easy: The Love Of Money!

And Who Is Getting  Rich Beyond All Measure!?! 

The Usurious Bankers, Brokers, Businessmen
The Profiteers
The Speculators
The Hireling Shepherds
Those Sold Out Priests And Pastors
And All Those Trafficking 

In The Souls Of Innocent Men, Women And Children!

Acknowledged Sinners, We Have A Problem!

The Savior Says To The Sinner:

Change Your Ways Now! 

By My Holy Spirit

All Sin Shall Be Put Away

And The Second Death

Will Have No Power Over You

When Comes The Great Day!

Hill Zion Is The Forever Home Of

The Forever Blessed

And Only Those

Who Live In The Light

Doing All That Is Right

And Thereby

The Heart Of God Delights

Shall Take Flight

Departing Sin's Night 

And Shall Live

With Consuming Fire

In The Glorious Land

Where There Is No Night!

Tall Order!

Easy Solution!

Speak, Brother! Speak!

Psalm 1, Brethren! Psalm 1!

I Really Like That One!

Blessed Is The Man That Walks Not
In The Counsel Of The Ungodly ...!

... He Shall Be Like A Tree Planted By The Water ...!

... That's It!
That What Jesus Means!
Shall Not Be Removed
Rooted
Grounded
Green
Flourishing
Fruitful
Taking No Though Of Tomorrow
Nor Sorrow
Secure
Blessed Forevermore!

The Evergreen Christian ...!

... Has The Forever Home
In Hill Zion!

I Am Blessed!
Bless Me Now, Dear Savior

Who Created The Stellar Universe!

The King Of Love

Love ... FIRST

AND

The Prince Of Peace

IS

The Very One

From Whom We Get Faith

To Have Faith In Him

AND

He Is The One

Who Took My Disgrace (Yours, Too)

To Give Me In Almighty God's Heaven

A Sure And Secure

Personal Dwelling Place!

He Is The Helpful And The Giving, Blessing God

AND
Where He Is
Is My Home
AND

He Is My Heart's Treasure

The One For Whom I Turn From Earthly Pleasure

Because

I Desire To Be Like Jesus The Christ
AND
With Him
- In His Haven Of Rest -
Live Together Forever!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The God Of Promise!

Well ... My God Thinks On Me!
He Thinks To Give Me Peace
AND
Get This ...
To Give Me An Expected End!

Really?!

Really!

What's An "Expected End?!"

An Expectation!
Something I Know Of!
Something Afar Off
BUT
Getting Closer!
Something That I Can Hold Out My Hand For
BECAUSE
It Is Mine
To Have
AND
To Hold
That My God Covenanted
Aka Promised To Give To Me ... Personally!

I Wish I Had A God Like That!

You Can Have Him!

He's Always Available To Us!

What Did He Promise You?!

He Even Promised Me That I Shall Be Like Him!

What Does He Look Like?!

I Don't Yet Know
BUT
As I Said
I Shall See Him
As He Is
AND
I Shall Be As He Is!

His Promise Is A Debt
AND
I Want To Get Paid!

Aren't You Afraid?!

Of What?!

The Great Unknown!
You're Risking An Awful Lot On A Stranger!
He Could Be A Monster!!

How's Your Breathing?!

Huh?!

You Inhale! You Exhale! Breathing!

Ohhh!

Fine, Thanks!

Your Possible Monster Causes That!

Food ... You Eat, Right?!

Very Well, Thank You!

Your Possible Monster Provided, Created That!

Your Body ...!

Wait! 

Don't Tell Me!
I Got This ...

My Possible Monster
Who Cannot Possibly Be A Monster
Created
Provided
Maintains
Sustains
Illuminates
Motivates
Elevates

WOW! You Learn Fast!

Yes, I DO! Thank God!

Which God Are You Thanking?!

Point!

But I Still Don't Get Why You Believe
That God Of The Promises!

Faith ... I Am Hoping For What I Can't Now See
BECAUSE
He Who Promised IS Faithful!

He Promised To Come To Earth
In The Person Of His Son Jesus Christ
To Die
For My Sin
To Reconcile Me
To Himself!
Jesus Came!
Jesus Taught The Way To God!
Jesus Healed!
Jesus Raised The Dead!
Jesus Was Beaten

Spat Upon

Crucified
Died

AND
Was Buried

AND
Arose

AND
Allowed Himself To Be Handled By Men

AND
Announced The Great Commission

AND
Pronounced The Eternal Blessing!

Jesus Christ Plainly Said That
He Is Coming Again
AND
He Victoriously
Returned To His Father
AND
Is Presently
In The Most Holy Place
Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding
For Me 

AND

For You!

He Came!
He Worked!
He Conquered!
He Left
AND
He Is Coming Again!

It Was Prophesied!

It Was Accomplished

AND

The Final Fulfillment

- His Return Aka The Second Coming -

Will Be Accomplished As Well!

But ... But
I Don't Know ...
I Don't Own Him!

But He Knows
AND
Wants To Own You
As His Own Child
His Own Peculiar Treasure
AND
For This Very Reason
He Promised
Before He Left
To Send His Holy Spirit
- The Comforter -
To Call Us
To Teach Us
To Chide Aka Correct Us
To Be With Us
BECAUSE
The Holy Spirit Can Be Everywhere
All The Time
Doing What Jesus Can No Longer Do
BECAUSE
By Taking Our Humanity
Our Sins
Our Condemnation
Our Death
Into His Person
He Is Tied
- Bodily - To Us
For Eternity!

Jesus Christ Shrouded His Divinity In Our Humanity!
He Took Our Death
To Give Us His Life
BUT
Only If We Ask For It!

It's A Free Will

Free Choice Thing!

No Force!

He Sounds Like A Very Polite

Very Giving God!!

He Is!
He Stands At Your Heart's Door
AND
Get This ...
He Knocks!!

What For?!

He Wants You
Me
Every Man
From Every Nation
Every Family
Every Language
Every People
To Invite Him
Our Hearts To Enter In!

He Wants Us To Eat Together
Here And Now
AND
In The Hereafter
In His Home
In Almighty God's Heaven!

He Is Laying Out The Welcome Table
For The Overcomers
The Blessed Of His Kingdom!

Man, Your God Sure Has
Some Serious Skills!

And Then Some!

Do You Have To Pay Him
For All That ... Stuff
Not Stuff ... You Called It Blessings?!

Free! Free! Free! 
AND 

FREE!

All God's Blessings Are Free
To All
Who Choose To Believe
AND
Receive Of His Bounty!

He Asked Me: Will You ...?
I Answered Him: I Will ...!
We Exchanged Life For Life!

I Walk With Him!
He Carries Me!
He Leads Me!
I Follow Him!
He Loves Me!
I Trust
AND
Obey Him
AND
I Worship
AND
Praise His Holy Name!

He Is 

- In Me - 

My Hope For Glory
So
I Tell To Anyone
Everyone
Everywhere
Every Day
That Old
Ever New
Good News -
The Great Gospel Story!

No! How Could I?!

I Mean I Really, Really, Need
Your God!
