PROOF THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. PART 2

PROPHECY “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;” (Deuteronomy 18:15). FULFILLMENT “Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”(John 7:40-42). “and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:  whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.” (Acts 3:20-23). “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”(John 3:36). Jesus was both Prophet, High Priest, King Of Kings, and Lord of Lords, The Messiah, and The Only Begotten Son of God.

PROPHECY “Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?  For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:1-3). FULFILLMENT “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”(John 1:10-11). “But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: that the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?”(John 12:37-38). “Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, and consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.”(Matthew 26:3-4).

PROPHECY “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”(Zechariah 9:9). FULFILLMENT “And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.  And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?  And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.”(Matthew 21:8-11).”And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;” (Luke 19:35-37).

PROPHECY “And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.”(Zechariah 11:12-13). FULFILLMENT “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.”(Matthew 26:14-16).

PROPHECY “He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.” ( Isaiah 53:8). FULFILLMENT “When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: and when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.” ( Matthew 27:1-2).

PROPHECY “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter ,and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,so he openeth not his mouth.”( Isaiah 53:7). FULFILLMENT “And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.” ( Mark 15:3-5).


PROPHECY “I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.” ( Isaiah 50:6). FULFILLMENT “Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?” (Matthew 26:67-68).”And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.” (Matthew 27:30).”And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.” (Mark 14:65). “And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.” (Mark 15:19).”Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, and said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.” ( John 19:1-3).

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST

There is no greater LOVE than the LOVE of God and Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost who are one in spirit. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”(John 15:13). “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16). John 3:16 was God’s part and 1John 3:16 is our part. “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”(1John 3:16).

Jesus is the ultimate manifestation of the LOVE of God. He left the beautiful Heaven of Heavens to come down here to be born and laid in a manger, and be persecuted , and rejected, and despised, and lied about, and betrayed, and finally crucified for you and me. Don’t ever think that God, and the Holy Spirit, and Jesus don’t LOVE you after they did all that for you. They LOVE you and care about you. Even the hairs of your head are numbered. They made you for a purpose and that purpose is to LOVE GOD, and enjoy his LOVE and creation forever, and help others to do the same. “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. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”(Matthew 22:37-39). “Jesus really loves you and he wants you to know, he will go with you where ever you go.” “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”(Hebrews 13:5). He will never leave you when all others do, and you loose everything and are at the bottom look up to Jesus, he is holding out his hand to you to lift you up. “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. (Proverbs 8: 17). The Love of Jesus Christ is the most valuable possession that you could ever have.

“I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”(Psalms 40:1-2). You can’t know the LOVE of Jesus until you give him your heart. I know the answer to all your problems. You gotta LOVE the Lord Jesus more and more. Jesus is the LOVE of all LOVES. He knows every thought you think and every move you make. He made you and he wants to fix what’s wrong with you, both spiritually and physically. Just put him first in your heart. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”(Matthew 11:28-30). Jesus is coming back soon, won’t you open the door to your heart and let him in? He is knocking at your door. Just open up your heart and let the SON shine in. He wants you to follow him and find joy, and happiness and peace. Jesus is the answer for the world today. Above him there is no other, Jesus is the way. People need the Lord.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me your peace. Amen.

Impetuous Peter

I think most all of us can relate to Peter ( Jesus’s Disciple) and some of his impetuous comments and actions. Some of the things he said and did were some what amusing since they hit so close to home because, “We also are men of like passions.”(Acts 14:15).

Impetuous means; saying or acting quickly without thought or consideration. You will see what we mean when you read these verses. Enjoy !

“From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”(Matthew 16:21-23). Notice that this happened right after Peter, the only Disciple who said that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the living God, when Jesus asked them, “who do you say that I am ?”

“And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”(Luke 5:1-8).

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”(Matthew 18:21-22).

Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.”(Matthew 26:33-35). Maybe if Peter had said, “By your grace Lord I will never deny you”. Then he wouldn’t have had to go through all this to learn his lesson.

“Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?”(John 18:10-11).

“Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know here after. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.”(John 13:7-9).

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

The Real World

This world is not our home. We are just passing through on our journey of life to our real everlasting Heavenly world. All the things that you can touch and see and taste are only temporary and won’t last long. We are just a vapor compared to Eternity. “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” (Hebrews 11:13-16). “while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18). “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Colossians 3:2).

“Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations;” (Psalms 49:11a). Knowing all this shouldn’t we be preparing more for our Eternal existence? “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” (Matthew 6:19-20). How do we lay up treasures in Heaven ? By winning Souls to Jesus, and helping the Missionaries to win them to Jesus. They will be our brothers and sisters forever in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is hard to find a real Missionary who is teaching the truth. I suggest you hitch your wagon to www.answersintheword.com. and help spread the truth of the Word of God to the World. “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”(Acts 20:27). It has taken me 50 years to put the pieces of the puzzle of the Bible together for you by the grace and help and leading of the Holy Spirit, and here it is on a sliver platter for you. You don’t need to re-invent the wheel just start rolling with it. For the time is short. Jesus is coming and it won’t be long ! The Spirit World is real, in fact it is the only real World that counts. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”(John 6:63). “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”(Ephesians 6:12-13). Be a fighter for Jesus in the Spirit, not a physical fighter in the flesh, (and for what?) If you can receive this then Blessed are you! “whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”(James 4:14). “And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19). “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.” (Luke 9:23-24). Will he say unto you, “Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the JOY of thy Lord.” Read Matthew 25:21&23.

Say this prayer if you want to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believed you died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.

Growing In The Lord, And In The Spirit

The Lord knows we should be making some progress. But what is progress and Spiritual growth in his sight ? Spiritual growth is growing in the Lord. Most of all it is becoming more like Jesus and becoming more loving, and more merciful, and more forgiving. If we could only realize how important forgiveness is and not only forgiving but forgetting like God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, and the people in Heaven do. We only hurt ourselves when we don’t forgive and forget because the way we  treat others is how we will be treated. Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:1-5). It is like the Boomerang, it comes back to us when we throw it out. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7). If we are only forgiven like the way we  forgive, then I am afraid that some of us are going to be in bad shape when that day comes. (SEE: Matthew 6:12). He that can not forgive breaks down the bridge that he must cross over himself. “He must increase, but I must decrease”.(John 3:30). Spiritual progress is how much different we are this week compared to what we were like last week, or how much more like Jesus we are today than yesterday. People should say, “WOW, you sure have changed since the last time I saw you.” You can be a new person everyday in Jesus, by simply yielding to the Lord and the Holy Spirit.This comes from Prayer and getting into the Word. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13).“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Try it !! It will make you happier. “If you know these things happy are ye if you do them.” (John 13:17). You can’t grow if you try to live on a little teaspoon of food every Sunday Morning. ARE YOU GROWING SPIRITUALLY, OR ARE YOU STUNTING YOUR GROWTH ? God sees things different than man sees things. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.For as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than your ways,and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ( Isaiah 55:8-9).

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
