Exhortation

Picture this scene for a moment. (Maybe even read it to yourself out loud.)

Jesus is at the top of the Mount of Olives getting ready to descend on a colt. The crowds are gathering, the shouting has started (Luke 19:37). Jesus looks out over the city of Jerusalem.

But oh! As he looks down over the city, not only does he see these multitudes, he sees all humanity - in all their depravity.

Around 600 years before God visited Jerusalem. He sent the Babylonian army. The city burned, the temple was destroyed, and the people were taken away.

But now God has visited again. But this time…. this time….

He doesn’t send an army. He doesn’t send famine, pestilence, fire and brimstone. He doesn’t send condemnation. He sends His son - with MERCY!

As Jesus looks over the city, he knows that within just a few days he will be on the west side of the city walls; on Golgotha; crucified. He knows that out of mercy God will put him through the smiters, the scourging, the nails, the crucifixion and the death. He knows he is about to take away all the sins of the world (John 1:29) out of mercy. And he knows that act will raise him and all that will walk with him, from the dead.

What MERCY!

And that mercy reaches even us.

Hebrews 8:12
For I (Jehovah) will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Believe this gospel and partake of this mercy!

God bless,

Exhortation

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: Revelation 2:26

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Revelation 3:5

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 3:12

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Revelation 3:21

He that overcometh shall inherit ALL things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 21:7

Doyle said on one of the live broadcast last week, “When you overcome, God will promote you.”

So let’s believe this gospel, and overcome some things today, today is the of salvation!

God bless,
