VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Letter

Dearest Laronde:

Greetings! 

It Was A Pleasure, Indeed, To Hear From You, And I Sincerely Pray That All Is Well With You, And Your Beloved! Please Kiss Charlie And Chivonne For Me!

As Regards Your Inquiry, I Will Answer Your Questions As I Would A Person Who Has No Personal Knowledge Of The One About Whom I Speak: I Speak Of Him With Joy And Love!

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

I Have A Forever-Friend Named Christ Jesus!

He Is Also The Savior Of Man
The Redeemer Under The Plan
The Creator Of All Things Visible And Invisible
The King Of Heaven And Earth
And
The Judge Of Every Man!

Jesus Is My Friend
In Need And In Deed
And
He Sticks Closer Than A Sister Or Brother!
He Is Also The Holy God!
He Is Life, Light And Health To All
And
I Claim Him As Mine
And
I Desire No God Called Other!

I Am A Laborer!
I Bear Of Sin The Heavy Load
And
I Have A Carte Blanche With My Jesus
To Come To Him To Unload!

He Has Promised Me A Fair Exchange
Because
He Is Almighty God And Can Do It:

I Freely Give Him And He Will Willingly Take
My Heavy Load
And
Give Me His Burden Which Is Light! 

I Did It

And

It Does My Soul Truly Delight!

He Asked In Return That
I Take His Yolk That Is Easy
And
Learn About Him
And
He Said That I Shall Have Rest For My Soul!

This Is A Work Ongoing!

My Friend
My Lord, My God, My King
This Jesus
Proved, For Me, His Great Love! 

He Left All His Majesty
His Glory, His Honor
His Worship, His Praise
And
Came Down To See Me
- To Save Me -
From His Glorious Home
In Heaven Above!

He Didn't Have To Do It!
I Didn't Ask Him To Do It!
I Didn't Even Know That 
From Time Immemorial That
That Had Been In His Heart
But
I Am Glad That He Did It! 

I Am Blessed Beyond Measure
Because
He Looks Upon Me In Love
And
I, Grateful For His Bounty
Willingly Return His Love!

I, Here, Shall Tell You
The Lord's Honest Truth That
You Cannot Go To Him Dirty
And
Remain That Way!

He Is A Dirt Magnate
His Blood On You Is Detergent Zero
That Is, No Stains Remain
And
I Can Tell You Also
That He Gives All His True-True Friends
What Is Universally Called
The Garment Of Praise
Which Is Made Of Fire-Proof-Character Fabric
- His Character -
Which Will Withstand Unquenchable Fire
And
The Eternal Glory Of The Ancient Of Days!
The Lord Be Praised!

You Will Never Believe The Gift That He Gave Me
But
I Urge You That You Should!
He Gave Me Of His Innocent Blood
Which, Upon My Acceptance
Gives Me His Life
Gives Me His Grace
Gives Me His Mercy
Gives Me His Forgiveness For My Confessed
And
Repented Of Sin
Gives Me Hope
Gives Me Help
Gives Me Healing
Gives Me The Admit-One Ticket
To The Banquet Of The Blessed
After The Great Revealing!

Meanwhile, I Have Faith
Love Joy Peace And Rest
The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit
That Comforter That Teaches All Truth
That Guides And Lovingly Chides
And
The Protection And Good Influence Of
His Holy Angels
Who Take Care Of Those Who
By Him ... Choose
To Be Blessed! 

Eternally Blessed!

I Will Not Tell A Lie!
He Has Made It Quite Plain That
To Be His Forever Friend
Means That You Have At Your Heels
The One Who Shall Forever Be Known As
His Eternal Enemy
A Former Bright And Shining Star
Who, Without Cause
- Without Excuse -
Indulged In Killing Envy
Jealousy And Greed!

I Must Face His Enemy
Who Is Also Enemy Mine
And
My One Protection
Is
The Whole Armor Of God
Which Starts With:
"Doth Saith The Lord!" Aka "It Is Written!"

His Enemy
- My Enemy -
Indulges In Shining-Light Fraud!
He Masquerades!
He's A God-Fraud!
He Indulges Deceit!
He Tells Bold Lies:
He's The Father Of Lies!

He's The Murderer!
He Leads Mankind Into Sin!
He Instigates Pain, Suffering
Horror And All Sorrows
Because
He, It Is, Who Beguiled Our First Parents
Into The Sins Of Doubt And Disobedience!

That Enemy
- Our Enemy, Heart Cold -
Is
Satan
The Piercing Serpent
The Dragon
The Devil
Beelzebub The Bold
The Lord Of Dung
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Adversary
The Raging Lion
Who Walks About ... Seeking
Whom He May Devour!

I Am Warned By My Jesus
To Be Sober
To Be Vigilant
To Stand Firmly On Living Truth
To Trust Him ... And Obey
To Walk Right On The Narrow, Strait, Way
To Keep A Song In My Heart
To Hold Him In Godly Fear
To Honor Him With My First Fruits
To Not Forget To Pray!

I Am To Do The Good That I Can
For My Fellow Man!
I Am To Tell Others Of The Straight
Good News Gospel Plan!
I Am To Live In His Light
Which Is Bright Blessed And Best
And
I Am To Rest On His Rest Day
The Seventh Day Of His Law Of Life
And
Not On The Adversary's Spurious Sabbath
On The Day Called The First! 
No Created Being Can Ever
His Holy Law Reverse!

Satan, The Adversary 
Is 
Cursed With A Curse
Never, Ever, To Be Reversed!

My Jesus Says That I Need Endurance
And, For This
He Gives Me ... Daily Faith
And
Daily Grace
And 
Strength For The Day's Journey
And
Courage For The Way!

He Has Promised Me That
I Shall Never Walk Alone
That My Bread And Water Are Sure
And
He Asks That I Take An Easy Hold
On The Things Of This Life
Because
Nothing In This Realm
Is 
Fire-Proof, Eternal, Or Tried Gold!

My Friend,
I Can Tell You So Much More
But, For Now, I'll End With This:

Jesus Christ Saves!
He Sets The Captives Free!
He Makes The Halt And Crippled Walk
And
He Causes The Known Blind To See! 

He Says: 

"Come, Let Us Reason Together!"

He Makes Scarlet Sins White Like Snow!
He Makes Crimson Sin To Be As Wool
And
He Gives To His Friends
- Who Are Also Called His Children -
The Cup
The Cup Of Blessing That Overflows!

Beloved, Believe Me!
That Cup Is Never Not Full!

Please Don't Just Take My Word Only
For All These Things That I've Said!
There Is Testimony Of More Than Two Or Three Witnesses! 

Let Your Soul Also By The Preserved Word
Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Be Safely Led!

Please Pray About What I've Told You!
Please Ask The Lord Christ Into Your Life!
Believe In Him
And
You Shall Be Saved
And
Life, For You, Won't End
When You Enter The Cold Grave!

The Faithful-To-Him Dead
On The Great Day
Shall, By His Loud Voice
Be Raised Immortalized
Incorruptible
Forever Changed
To Be Like Him!
That's A Situation Called Win-Win!

Do Not To Sin Be Enslaved!
Only Preserved Saints ... Escape
The Second Death
Aka Eternal Separation From Almighty God
Aka Hell
Aka The Lake Of Fire Grave!

Remember,
For His Friends, His Life He Gave!

Let John 3:16-17 The Way For You

Plainly, Clearly, Pave! 

• 1 John 1:9 Proves That Satan Is The Knave!
• Psalm 119:105 Turns On Your Search-Light!
• Psalm 1:1-2 Is Your Head-Covering!
• Philippians 4:13 Is The Rod For Your Spine!
• Psalm 84:11 Is The Perfect Pillow For Your Bed! 
• Psalm 143:8 Is Your Heart's Song! 

The Blessing Of The Lord God Almighty Makes You Rich! Very Rich Indeed!

I Look Foward With Delight To Seeing You During The First Week Of Summer!

Until Then,
I Close With Love, Hugs, And Kisses,

Corlais

HAPPY SABBATH + Dying To Live ... With The Lord!

I Listened To  A Sermon
Recently
That Made A Big Impression On Me!
It Was Of A Son Mother Apostle
Who Had Prior Long-Range Knowledge
Of The Coming Death
Of A Beloved's Body!

The Son
He The Savior
He The Sure Word
Knew Of His Own Death
Before He Even Created The World
And,  Yet
Despite This Fore-Knowledge
Despite His Being All-knowing Wise
He Still Created
The Instrument Of His Own Demise!

And, Indeed ...

At The Appointed Time
He Was Vilely Crucified!

The Creature Crucified Its Creator!
The Creator Stood Not In The Creature's Way!
The Created Was Consumed
With The Creator's Death
AND
Thereby Sealed Its Own Doom!

But ...

That Is Not My Point!

A Mother Gave Birth To Her Son
Her Own Soul's Savior
And Met In The Temple
A Prophet
On The Eighth Day
Who, Holding The Blessed Child
In The Mother's Hearing
Did Prophecy
How In The Distant Future
The Mother's Son Was Going To For The World Die 
Thrusting A Sword Through Her Heart 
And Making Her Cry
For She Would Know That Her Heaven-Sent Baby
Was Born To Die!

How Did She Have The Heart
To Nurse 
Comfort 
Raise 
Teach Her Boy Baby
Knowing He Was Born To Die 
But Knowing Not The Day Of His Death!

But ...

That Is Not My Point!

The Disciple
Turned Apostle
In An Epistle
Declared His Love For His Lord!
He Even Cut Off The Ear Of The High Priest's Servant
The Night They Came To Arrest 
His Master Savior 
Teacher Friend 
The Lord!

Just Before The Disciple Became An Apostle
Just Before The Master Returned To Realm 
Where He Is Our High Priest 
AND
Coming King
The Friend To The End
Told The Friend Born Of Mere Men
The Manner In Which He Would Reach His Life's End!

Lord Almighty!
The Weight Of The Burden!
To Know That You Are Going To Die
For The Cause Of Your Risen From Death
And Soon Departing Master
And Knowing It Will Be In Your Old Age
But Not Knowing The Year Day!
How Does One Proceed To Live
When Having Reached
The Prophesied Old Age?

That Bombastic
Lord Denying
Repentant
Renewed
Christ-commissioned Apostle
Knew Of A Surety
Death ... Is Coming
Any Day
His Way
AND
He Lived Out The Great Commission
Doing Exactly What His Master Had Told Him
On That Fateful Day!

Simon?!
Do You Love Me?

Lord, You Know I Love You!

Feed My Lambs!

Simon?!
Do You Love Me?

Lord,  You Know I Love You!

Feed My Sheep!

Simon?!
Do You Love Me?

Lord, You Know Everything!
You Know I Love You!

Feed My Sheep.

Commissioned
Provisioned
Prepared
Broken
Remade
Declared
Simon Called Peter
Walked Among The Human Herd
And, Of It
Culled
A Flock
Fit For His Master
Sustained
By The Love Of His Lord!

Simon Peter
Had His Lot In With His Lord Cast 
Knowing Full Well
Any Day
Today
Could Be His Very Last!

He Didn't Travel Around
Waiting
For A Talking Ass
To Tell Him
His End Was Coming Up Fast!
He Lived Each And Every Day
As If Each Was The Last

AND ...

One Day
Don't You Know
He Was... RIGHT!

The Love Of God

Sustains Us

When Mankind's Chains

Restrain Us!

No Complaints

Will Come Out Of Us

For

Our God Goes Before Us

And

Is Always Assuredly With Us!

*********

All Committed Christians 

Stick

To Their Appointed Task!
