JESUS, You knew?
A long-awaited moment of thoughtful anticipation had arrived, planned from eternity's past. The King of kings must now step down from His place in Heaven as all the angels would thus bow down in admiration, the King, leaving all His glory and majesty behind to deliver hope to a desperately lost world, a hope that only He could bring, an everlasting resolve to the tragedy of sin. Humanity would forever perish without Him. No one in all of heaven would be worthy. No one else could do this loving mission of sincere humility and mercy.
JESUS, You knew?
"He came to his own people, and even they rejected him." John 1:11 NLT
He came and was rejected by His own.... for us?
JESUS, You came down from Heaven knowing that Your own people would reject You. Those waiting would look upon You with scorn and contempt and conspire together to plot Your cruel and horrific death. They could not accept that their anticipated Messiah had arrived, bringing Salvation to free them from their sins. An everlasting atonement that would complete the LORD's promises to bring them peace.
But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. "How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes." Luke 19:41-42 NLT
JESUS, You knew?
Some would accept Him.
"But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12 NLT
Let us pray. . . JESUS, we cry out to You, knowing we are sinners. Forgive us of our sins. We believe in You, and we receive You. Come now, JESUS, fill us with Your Spirit, we ask. Make us new, heal our sicknesses, and help us to bear the pain, suffering, and hardships we must endure now and in our future. Come, oh GOD, be with us, we pray, be with us forever.
"When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners." Mark 2:17 NLT
JESUS, You knew?
Reborn from above
"They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God." John 1:13 NLT
"Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don't be surprised when I say, 'You must be born again." John 3:6-7 NLT
Immanuel. GOD is with us.
"So, the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son." John 1:14 NLT
John 17:4-8 NLT: "I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.
"I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you, for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me."
"Yes, God was in the thick of things and He encouraged Mary throughout her life by giving her evidence of His presence with her." Jenise Cook
Mary, did you know?
Standing near the cross were Jesus' mother, and his mother's sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene." John 19:25 NLT
Dear Mary, did you know you would be standing there someday looking up at your Son as He hung nailed above you on that cross? Oh Mary, a chosen woman from among many, did you know that your heart would be crushed with overwhelming sadness as you looked into the eyes of your beloved Son, Yeshua.
Mary, did you know?
"Elizabeth gave a glad cry and exclaimed to Mary, "God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed." Luke 1:42 NLT
Oh, my dear, beautiful Mary, still blessed above all women because your Son will rise soon, and your child will bless all people everywhere, for He will save them from their sins, so all who call out to Him will find everlasting peace.
Mary, did you know?
Acts 2:21-24 NLT: "But everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."
People of Israel, listen! God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs through him, as you well know. But God knew what would happen, and his prearranged plan was carried out when Jesus was betrayed. With the help of lawless Gentiles, you nailed him to a cross and killed him. But God released him from the horrors of death and raised him back to life, for death could not keep him in its grip."
Mary, did you know?
Oh, our dear Mary, did you know your life would impact all of Humanity? Mary, thank you, wonderful woman, from all the hearts who are grateful for everything you did. All your precious tears of sadness have now forever turned to joy.
