Dear Preacher, Your Messages are blessing me so much! As a born-again Christian, I Also must admit I have always been a Seeker , meaning I have always sought a deeper relationship with my Jesus. ''Desiring God''...that is all I feel is DESIRE for Him...
Matthew 21:23-27( The authority of Jesus Challenged) "23 And when he(Jesus😊1st❤) entered the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to him, as he was teaching, and said, " By what authority are you doing these things and who gave you this authority?" 24 Jesus(😊1st❤) answered them, " I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John(😊❤), from where did it come? From heaven or from man? " And they discussed it among themselves, saying, " If we say, ' From heaven,' he will say to us, ' Why then did you not believe him?' 26 But if we say, ' From man,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John(😊❤) was a prophet." 27 So they answered Jesus(😊1st❤), " We do not know." And he said to them, " Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."( Matthew 21:23-27 ESV Study Bible)
Genesis 34:5-7 "5 Now Jacob😊❤ heard that he( Shechem) had defiled his daughter Dinah. But his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came. 6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. 7 The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant( third time the word " Indignant" appear in our sharing in Christ) and very angry, because he(Shechem) had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter( Dinah), for such a thing must not be done."(Genesis 34:5-7 ESV Study Bible, amen to such a thing must not be done like that invade a woman without married first and get mutual consent first. Now in the New Testament in Christ, we are told to be faithful to God by keep oneself or ourselves holy before God or before Jesus our Lord is holy too in Christ and get married then have intimate relationship with our own wife in Christ that is correct way to do things and we(or I ) in Christ promote relationship under God between a husband and his own wife only. It remind the love between a wife in Christ and a hushand in Christ. Get marry in a faithful church in Christ and then live out Ephesians 5;22-33( Wives and husbands ) in Christ. We in Christ promote one wife in Christ to me. At least to me in Christ. Anyways hope to resume back to Genesis 33:7 "7 The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant( " indignant" at least I didn't why i word study on this word at first in my pasting sharing in Christ now i know more in Christ ) and very angry, because he(Shechem) had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter( Dinah), for such a thing must not be done."(Genesis 34:7 ESV Study Bible) In Genesis 34:7 " Dinah' s brothers are justifiably enraged at the way Shechem( no good to me in Christ) has treated their sister ( Dinah). He raped her. No good. Anyways, the Jesus that I know and I trust is very respectful a nd compassion Lord(😊1st❤) and compassionate Savior( Jesus😊1st❤) and look how Jesus (😊1st❤) treated women and children and men like us in Christ . You too will fall in love with him( Jesus😊1st❤) too for Jesus is holy like God is holy to me too in Christ. Jesus welcomes and love those who are outcast people, Jesus😊1st❤ my Lord and my savior too in Christ also love them without any string attached or i call unconditional love ❤ from God(😊100%❤ John 3:16) through Jesus(😊1st❤) to love us like He did on the cross and died for humanity and back for He( Jesus😊1st❤) is risen(Matthew 28:7 😊❤) we are in Christ some day will also risen with Jesus😊1st ❤ too include those who fallen asleep that we know or we heard from the news today. O Lord, Jesus😊1st❤ one more for You( 😊1st❤) in Christ..in Jesus'name, i pray(John 14:6😊❤). Amen. John 14:6❤😊 " 6 Jesus answered, " I am the way ❤😊 and the truth ❤😊 and the life😊❤. No one comes to the Father( God, our Father in heaven ) except through me."( John 14:6😊❤ Zondervan NIV Study Bible.Amen.). Amen.
