JESUS SAID

JESUS SAID

Matthew 22:37 

JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND.

Luke 10:27 

AND HE ANSWERING SAID, THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL THY MIND; AND THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.

DO YOU LOVE THE LORD THY GOD REALLY, CAN YOU FULFILL THIS COMMANDMENT? Let's See, DO YOU LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART? Does God have your whole heart? Does The Will Of God Surpass your own will? Can you say when facing death, NOT MY WILL BE DONE, BUT THY WILL BE DONE?

 JESUS CHRIST DID! 

Matthew 26:39,42 

And He Went A Little Further, And Fell On His Face, And Prayed, Saying, O My Father, If It Be Possible, Let This Cup Pass From Me: NEVERTHELESS NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS THOU WILT.

He Went Away Again The Second Time, And Prayed, Saying, O My Father, If This Cup May Not Pass Away From Me, Except I Drink It, THY WILL BE DONE.

DO YOU LOVE GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE SOUL? Let's see, DO YOU LOVE GOD TO SEND YOUR SOUL TO HELL FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU AND PUT YOU TO DEATH? WOULD YOU WANT TO SEND YOUR SOUL TO HELL TO SAVE YOURS AND YOUR FATHER'S ENEMIES? Could you say FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO?

JESUS CHRIST DID!

Isaiah 53:10-12 

Yet It Pleased The Lord To Bruise Him; He Hath Put Him To Grief: When Thou Shalt Make His Soul An Offering For Sin, He Shall See His Seed, He Shall Prolong His Days, And The Pleasure Of The LORD Shall Prosper In His Hand. He Shall See Of The Travail Of His Soul, And Shall Be Satisfied: By His Knowledge Shall My Righteous Servant Justify Many; For He Shall Bear Their Iniquities. Therefore Will I Divide Him A Portion With The Great, And He Shall Divide The Spoil With The Strong; BECAUSE HE HATH POURED OUT HIS SOUL UNTO DEATH: AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH THE TRANSGRESSORS; AND HE BARE THE SIN OF MANY, AND MADE INTERCESSION FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS.

Acts 2:31-32 

He Seeing This Before Spake Of The Resurrection Of Christ, That HIS SOUL WAS NOT LEFT IN HELL, Neither His Flesh Did See Corruption. This Jesus Hath God Raised Up, Whereof We All Are Witnesses.

John 8:42 

Jesus Said Unto Them, If God Were Your Father, Ye Would Love Me: For I Proceeded Forth And Came From God; Neither Came I Of Myself, But He Sent Me.

Luke 23:34 

THEN SAID JESUS, FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO. And They Parted His Raiment, And Cast Lots.

1 John 2:2 

And He Is The Propitiation For Our Sins: AND NOT FOR OURS ONLY, BUT ALSO FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.

DO YOU LOVE GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH? HAVE YOU EVER PRAYED SO HARD THAT YOU SWEAT DROPS OF BLOOD?

JESUS CHRIST DID!

Luke 22:42-45 

Saying, Father, If Thou Be Willing, Remove This Cup From Me: Nevertheless Not My Will, But Thine, Be Done. AND THERE APPEARED AN ANGEL UNTO HIM FROM HEAVEN, STRENGTHENING HIM. AND BEING IN AN AGONY HE PRAYED MORE EARNESTLY: AND HIS SWEAT WAS AS IT WERE GREAT DROPS OF BLOOD FALLING DOWN TO THE GROUND. And When He Rose Up From Prayer, And Was Come To His Disciples, He Found Them Sleeping For Sorrow,

I will venture to guess when asked DO YOU LOVE GOD YOU WOULD HAVE SAID YES,OF COURSE, BUT NOW WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER?

NOW LET'S LOOK AT THE SECOND PART OF THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD, LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.

DO YOU LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF?

I will go ahead and say you will say yes, I do all that I can when I can to help others. Let's really look at LOVING THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF.

DO YOU HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD TO EAT EVERYDAY? DO YOU PROVIDE FOOD FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR EVERYDAY FOR THEM TO BE FED THREE TIMES A DAY?

DO YOU HAVE A HOME? DO YOU PROVIDE YOUR NEIGHBOR WITH A HOME? DO YOU HAVE HEAT AND AIR? DO YOU PROVIDE HEAT AND AIR FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR EVERYDAY? DO YOU HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR EVERYDAY? DO YOU PROVIDE CLOTHES FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR EVERYDAY? DO YOU HAVE THE NECESSITIES FOR YOUR LIFE EVERYDAY? DO YOU PROVIDE THE NECESSITIES FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR EVERYDAY? DO YOU HAVE THE HEALTHCARE NEED EVERYDAY? DO YOU PROVIDE HEALTHCARE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR EVERYDAY?

JESUS CHRIST DID!

Matthew 14:14-21 

AND JESUS WENT FORTH, AND SAW A GREAT MULTITUDE, AND WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION TOWARD THEM, AND HE HEALED THEIR SICK. AND WHEN IT WAS EVENING, HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM, SAYING, THIS IS A DESERT PLACE, AND THE TIME IS NOW PAST; SEND THE MULTITUDE AWAY, THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE VILLAGES, AND BUY THEMSELVES VICTUALS. BUT JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, THEY NEED NOT DEPART; GIVE YE THEM TO EAT. AND THEY SAY UNTO HIM, WE HAVE HERE BUT FIVE LOAVES, AND TWO FISHES. HE SAID, BRING THEM HITHER TO ME. AND HE COMMANDED THE MULTITUDE TO SIT DOWN ON THE GRASS, AND TOOK THE FIVE LOAVES, AND THE TWO FISHES, AND LOOKING UP TO HEAVEN, HE BLESSED, AND BRAKE, AND GAVE THE LOAVES TO HIS DISCIPLES, AND THE DISCIPLES TO THE MULTITUDE. AND THEY DID ALL EAT, AND WERE FILLED: AND THEY TOOK UP OF THE FRAGMENTS THAT REMAINED TWELVE BASKETS FULL. AND THEY THAT HAD EATEN WERE ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND MEN, BESIDE WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

SO NOW I ASK, DO YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF?

Ephesians 2:8-10 

FOR BY GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST. FOR WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.

THANK THE LORD FOR GRACE! THE GRACE OF GOD PROVIDES FOR SINS AND OUR FAILURES!
