He is Risen-The King of Glory: Resurrected and Ascended is Jesus, He is the King of Glory! Acts 10:40-41 Psalm 24: 7-10


He is Risen-The King of Glory: Resurrected and Ascended is Jesus, He is the King of Glory! Acts 10:40-41 Psalm 24: 7-10

He is Risen! He is Risen indeed, My friends!

Believe on Jesus the Messiah, the King of Glory, the Resurrected Savior and Ascended King of glory and be full of great Joy this LORD's Day Resurrection Celebration! May Everyday bring great joy to your life as you Fellowship with Jesus and Enjoy His Resurrected life in you!

The Eternal Son of God in His Divine nature and Human nature, was dead and buried and His Body did not undergo Decay, but 3 days was dead in the tomb hewed out of the clef in the rock--until the Call from God the Father, and the third He is Risen!

He is Risen indeed! Like a bat out of hell he is long, long gone on His Ascended journeys end to take with Him His humanity added to His Divine Nature. Never before did Humanity Share in the glory of the trinity--up until that time, never before was there a human nature sitting at the right hand of God The Father in union with  God the Son's Divine nature!

But in His ascended journey up from His Resurrection on the third day, was the cry to lift up the gates, lift up the Ancient gates, that the king of glory may enter in and take His rightful place of glory that He Shared with God the Father before the foundation of the World, but in union with His glorified Resurrected Human nature--Did God the Son, name His eternal throne with a new name, that the King of glory may sit on His glorious throne, who is the King of glory? Jesus mighty in battle is the king of glory! whose throne is the King of glory, Jesus' throne is the King of glory it is Jesus' throne--never before since His ascension did humanity ever sit on this glorious eternal throne of glory, until the King of glory Sat on it, and who is He who sits of the eternal throne, but it is Jesus Indeed and It is Jesus' throne of Glory!

Acts 10:40-41 reveals God the Father Raising His Son from the dead:
They killed him by hanging him on a cross, 40 but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. 41 He was not seen by all the people, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen—by us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. 42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.

Psalm 24 A Prophecy pointing us to the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus from the Dead and His ascended journey through His glorified body back to the eternal Throne of Glory--the glory that God the Son Shared with God the Father before the foundation of the World; yet, now in His Resurrection and ascension there is added to His eternal Glory the resurrected glory of His Humanity in union with His Divine Nature. The Glory of His Divine nature is now in union with the Glory of His Resurrected Human nature glorified and resurrected, indeed!

What a testimony to Jesus, the king of glory strong and mighty in battle coming back from His victorious battle to open the Ancient Doors that were once locked shut tight!

Only one person was ever qualified to open such ancient doors throughout all of History from the foundation of the world, only one--Jesus, He is the King of Glory! He is the only one who holds the keys of David to open the Ancient Doors, the King of Glory! Jesus mighty in battle broke open wide the jaws of death and the sin nature that had its mighty grip on me; opening the Ancient doors where no one could ever open--But Jesus, mighty in battle, truly opened them in His resurrection and Ascended Journey back to His Glorious throne to sit and turn to God the Father and Say, "I have completed the work you gave me to do, and I lost not one of them you gave me to Save! Here they are written in the palms of my nail Scarred hand"

Psalm 24: 7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty— he is the King of glory.

You Cannot Wash the Feet of others, unless your feet has been Washed by Jesus! John 13:1-5



You Cannot Wash the Feet of others, unless your feet has been Washed by Jesus! John 13:1-5
Thursday March 28, 2013 is Holy Thursday, the night before good Friday, where Jesus gets up from the meal to wash the feet of His Disciples. Jesus washing the feet of His Disciple is most significant for the believer to be made Holy; without it, you cannot be made holy! Jesus’ washing the feet of His Disciples reveals the way to be cleansed and made holy and purified in His Blood alone!

Go to the fountain of the cross where Jesus’ blood runs down from the crown of thorns around His head, down to his face, running down His body, down His feet; where the fountain of His blood flowed; go to the fountain of His shed blood and let His blood cleanse your soul. Let Jesus wash the feet of your soul that He may cleans you, for unless you are cleansed by His blood, you can never wash the feet of others. You must let Jesus Wash your feet in His Blood Shed on the Cross, alone!

When Jesus came to this world He emptied Himself of all but love and Left His Eternal Glory with the Glory He Had with God The Father before the Foundation of the World. The Apostle Paul Says, He emptied Himself taking on the form of a Servant:
"6 Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Philippians 2:6-8

John the apostle records the time setting before Jesus washes the feet of His Disciples—It was before the Passover Festival. This Festival signified Deliverance from the Angel of Death; by Sprinkling the Blood of the Lamb on the top of the door post and the sides of the Door posts. This painting of the blood of the lamb, was a type of the benefits of Jesus' death on the Cross; His blood shed painted on the wood of the cross would provide eternal deliverance from the Angel of Death! What a vivid picture of the Cross: the blood of the Lamb was painted on the door posts, before the Angel of Death past over and Israel Left Egypt. They did this on each of their doors, in order that the Angel of Death would Passover the house and not kill the first born from every family of Israel—Yet Jesus, the Lamb of God, His blood would be Shed on the Cross, and He is the Only Begotten Son of God, who drank fully the penalty and cup of God’s Wrath and drank the full cup of eternal anguish of God's Wrath on behalf of His Church, the bride, the elect.

John the Apostle also, reveals Jesus’ Intuitive Knowledge of what He was facing and Time perspective and Plans—“Jesus knew the hour had Come” What was the hour? The hour was the Cross where He would indeed Drink the cup of God’s Wrath—the ultimate example of the bond servants nature was seen in Him being served from the Cup to drink of the cup of God's wrath--the ultimate sentence of Death, not for the benefit of Himself, but for the Benefit of those whom the God Father Gave to Jesus before the foundation of the World that He may, on their behalf, suffer for them and drink Indeed, of the Cup.

The Shed blood of Christ is the purifying water that cleanses our soul, the Cross was the ultimate act of Jesus washing the feet of His Disciples, indeed, of all the Elect and Chosen Bride of Christ, the Church.

John the Apostle in John 13 also reveals Jesus joyful anticipation of Glory and looking beyond the cross with Great joy and excitement to leave the world and go back to the Father and enjoy the Glory He once shared with the Father before the foundation of the world, not for Himself, but to bring with Him, His elect Bride, the chosen, whom the Father gave to Him before the foundation of the world, that they too may share in the glory that He had with the Father before the foundation of the world. Thus, with this background in mind, Jesus got up and washed the feet of His disciples, having great joy of serving them, for He had great joy with the thought of serving them to bring the church, His bride, the elect chosen, the many son's into the intimate fellowship and glory of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit

Isaiah 53:11-12 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

While the devil was at work in prompting Judas to betray Jesus, John reveals Jesus' intuitive Knowledge and Sovereignty over the Devils schemes and workings; The Apostle John revealed the Sovereignty of God the Father's Power and authority given to Jesus where all things, including the workings of the Devils prompting and evil running it's full course by having Jesus being delivered by the hands of wicked men to be crucified.

Even under such agonizing and oppressive circumstances, Jesus knew that all this activity was under His power and control. While it seemed according to man, that things were breaking down for Jesus and evil was out of control running its full course, only for it to be defeated at the cross, for Jesus would have His ultimate victory over Sin, Death and the Devil--in His Shed blood, Death and Resurrection. In such circumstances, John reveals That all authority and forces would meet it's demise and be under Jesus Power by way of the Cross.

John writes this by Inspiration of the Holy Spirit; In the revealing of the Ultimate victory that all things are under Jesus’ power by eluding to Jesus’ Resurrection and Ascension when John writes:” Jesus knew that Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;”

All this said and understood by John the Apostles eyewitness account of Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. John reveals the intuitive Knowledge of Jesus and Jesus’ whole Sovereign perspective and mission coming to its final end and completion; with all this going on in Jesus' mind, John the Apostles bears eyewitness to the next shocking act Jesus did:

Jesus Gets up!...to wash the feet of His Disciples; to not only set an example for His disciples to follow, but to induct His disciples into being a part of Jesus’ death and resurrection--by Jesus washing their feet, He was making His disciples a part of His life and reminding them that on their behalf, He would ultimately reveal His selfless love, in having His Body broken and blood shed that they would eat of His body and drink of His Shed blood and be baptized into His Death and enjoy the benefit and blessing of His Resurrected life revealed to them.

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet- John 13:1-17:
1 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” 9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!” 10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

Never Wanting in Jesus Christ! John 7: 37-39


Never Wanting in Jesus Christ!


Are you wanting in life, never satisfied? Then Heed this one irrevocable, Eternal and timeless, universal truth and answer to your question: Apart from trusting in Jesus, you will be found always wanting; never satisfied in life; always looking to self or others to feed your need--that they just can't! Apart from Jesus, there is nothing but a lifeless, sin cursed, if you will, Zombie like,dead Existence; without meaning, without joy and the discovery that Apart from Jesus, nothing, or, no one is sufficient to the task; for only Jesus can restore you to the chief end in life and this is to glorify God!

You must take inventory to your heart and evaluate your longings, needs and wants in Life:

Do you feel that you are currently wanting and not happy in life?

Do you find the things of this world seek to draw you in for a season, but then, always leave you unsatisfied, incomplete, unaccepted, rejected, dishonored, full of guilt and shame?

Regardless of the achievements, riches, Status, popularity etc..., In such conditions, if you are living outside of the blessings of believing on Jesus for everlasting life to Know God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit! You will always be found wanting, coming up short, never satisfied, working under the endless efforts of always falling short, never coming to terms of your efforts every being enough, finding always that it is never enough, and you will never achieve perfection of yourself, with an imperfect life, ruled under the control of the sin cursed self.

Scriptures teach that apart from trusting in Christ in this life, the wicked are never satisfied. In Contrast, for the believer, there is a great sense of immovable contentment when trusting in Jesus Christ, the chief Shepherd of your soul.

But apart from trusting in Jesus Christ, you will find yourself separated from God in this life and for all eternity; there will always be a restless wandering and discontented soul and a wicked rage against your God and creator; being controlled by the sin cursed self and having wickedness rule your being; such a condition will rot the core of your very being never contented or satisfied in life at all! Indeed, in such a condition, there will be great rage and emptiness to the core of your being that sins hold on you will pain your very existence with great hunger pains that will never be satisfied no matter how hard you seek to satisfy such hunger pains to make them go away, to find relief by your own merits, works, quest for riches and temporal pleasure of this life, you will always turn up insufficient, hungry and never satisfied apart from believing in Jesus!: 25 “The righteous eat to their hearts content, but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.” Proverbs 13:25

Not withstanding, How great the Joy, peace and contentment in life when your heart is at peace with God through The LORD Jesus Christ, who is God the Son, Mighty to Save! Hence, believing on Jesus Christ will result in having the fullness Jesus Christ in you who will  fill you with true abundant everlasting life full of great joy, bringing great health and blessing to your body, soul and spirit in this life.

But when you are not at peace with God, there is great restlessness,a great wandering, never getting to the desired end, a wanting and increased envy and covetousness that rots the core of your very existence!“30 A heart at peace gives life to the body, “but envy rots the bones. Proverbs 14:30

The Apostle John bears eyewitness testimony to Jesus, the fountain of living water, that by believing in Him will flow everlasting life of the rivers of living water in the person of the Holy Spirit:

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”[a] 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. –John 7:37-39

Jn. 7:38: "Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."] "The metaphor appears, no doubt, to be somewhat harsh, when he says that rivers of living water shall flow out of the belly of believers; but there can be no doubt as to the meaning, that they who believe shall suffer no want of spiritual blessings. He calls it living water, the fountain of which never grows dry, nor ceases to flow continually."As John Calvin comments on John 7:38 “…they who believe shall suffer no want of spiritual blessing…”

Therefore, check yourself to see whether you are in the faith, Gauge your wanting--are you satisfied in the Sufficiency of Jesus the only Eternal Shepherd of your soul, or are you wanting another, unequaled to His Eternal glory? Are you wanting in this life never contented?

If your answer is "yes", Then you are not sharing in the spiritual blessing of Knowing Jesus the Eternal God and Shepherd of your soul! Believing in the Sufficiency of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection and he efficacy of His Shed blood for the forgiveness of sins; results, in never wanting in life; If you are wanting in this life and are looking for any other person, place or thing unequaled to fill those longings apart from Jesus, then you are not believing in Jesus’ Sufficiency and you will not declare with King David, “the Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want!" Psalm 23:1. If you answer "yes"' Then You will be ever wanting and find yourself ever in despair among the non-elect outside of Christ.

Believe On Christ Jesus in your life and discover for yourself the LORD is you Shepherd, you shall not Want! And find for yourself, the chief end in your life is to glorify God through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, your God and Savior!
