COMPLETE IN HIM

FAITH: Romans 10:17b Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

TRUST: Isaiah 25:9 In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

PURITY: Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

TRUTH: John 14:6 Jesus answered, ” I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

HOPE: Romans 15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that  through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

HOLINESS: 2 Corinthians 7:1 Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

The Scene: A cross puzzle; our lives in Christ are complete when we have all the pieces, like the cross puzzle:  Jesus takes all the pieces and binds them together with Himself at the center. Only then are we complete in Him that is, in our inner man, our spirit man.

Note: Seven pieces in the puzzle. Bible #7 = Completion, Perfection, Fullness.

        THE GLORY OF THE LORD

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

The Scene: The Shekinah Glory~~definition according to Unger’s Bible Dictionary~~used in later Scripture by Jews and Christians to express the visible, divine presence (of God) in Scripture called “The Glory of the Lord.”

The Glory of the Lord is around His people today, just like when God was with the Israelites and Moses in the desert.

Exodus 40:34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the Glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

For Christians today, the Shekinah Glory of the Lord is His divine presence within true believers of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Luke 2:9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shown round them, and they were terrified.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his  dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

                                        GOD’S WORD IN US

John 6:63 “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.”

The Scene: Butter is a natural ingredient / element made from milk. It is used with food to enhance the  taste. Sometimes it is used as an additive to bind and hold other products together. Butter has been with mankind almost since the beginning of man.

Genesis 18:8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, set it before them, and he stood by them under the tree and they did eat.

Abraham prepared a meal for the Lord and the two who were with Him. God’s Word has been with man from the very beginning.

Taking God’s Word into our lives daily makes our lives better, bound together in love with God.

John 15:7 “If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.”

Mark 13:31 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”                                                                                                                                                      The Holy Spirit living within us, that is, true believers in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father, makes us better, like the flavor of butter makes food taste better. The Holy Spirit in us gives us the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit. And when we bear fruit we know that God is living within us.

                 THE TIME OF TRUMPETS IS NEAR

Matthew 24:30  “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.”

The Scene:1) the shofar ; 2) a ram’s horn, referred to in the Bible as a trumpet; 3) an angel of the Lord wearing a priestly shawl (a tallith or tallit) the tallith traditionally worn on special occasions/events and was worn over the head during prayers; 4) blue stripe a traditional color for the nation of Israel; 5) the angel is holding the shofar, ready to blow it. He is waitingfor the signal from the Lord.

Joshua 6:4,6,8 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with priests blowing the trumpets…So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it”…. When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord followed them.

Psalm 98:6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn–shout for joy before the Lord, the King.

We are called to be joyful and wait for our King. “The time is near”, said the Holy Spirit. ” Don’t lose hope, be strong, ready to go.”

                                       STAY ON THE PATH

Proverbs15:24 The path of life leads upward for the wise to keep him from going down to the grave.

The Scene: The path of righteousness rising higher and higher with 3 birds looking down on the path, representing the Trinity. The Holy Spirit watches over and shows His people, true believers in Jesus Christ, the way they should go.  One of the Holy  Spirit’s jobs is to counsel.

Psalm 25:4  Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me.

Order our steps, O Lord, in Thy will and way.
