Come Ye Near Unto Me; Hear Ye This -- From the Beginning, Here Am I Inviting You To Come To Me - Part 2546

"And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks h/Himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations." (Isaiah 61:9-11) 

This is. an interesting scripture for more reasons than I can elaborate on here. But do know that when we repent and are water baptized in the precious, holy name of the Lord Jesus, we can greatly rejoice -- because He covers us with His robe of righteousness; He clothes us with the garments of salvation; He fills us with His Spirit -- the Holy Ghost which will lead and guide us into all truth. 

They will know that the Gentiles are the seed which the Lord hath blessed, and that their souls are joyful in our God. Note that herein, Isaiah refers to the time that the Bridegroom will return for His bride -- the body of Christ church, and how the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations when He comes. 

As Jesus said when He came the first time, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me; because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified." (Isaiah 61:1-3)

The second time Jesus comes, we will be changed to be like Him. Don't wait until the last moment to ask Jesus to become your Lord God and Saviour, but rather, ask for His anointing oil in your life right now. Study the scriptures (specifically the new testament) for your spiritual foundation and understanding. 

After you repent, be water baptized in the precious, holy name of the Lord Jesus -- and He shall fill you with the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:36-47; Acts 10:44-48; Romans 6:3-4)

And in spite of the windy places that may arise, stand firm in Jesus -- as both your Lord God and Saviour the Christ -- for He will never leave you nor forsake you! He is the bread of life. He is the living water wherein the well will never runs dry. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. And He -- as the Good Shepherd willing to lay down His humanity on a cross so that we might have life more abundantly -- loves you beyond measure. 

Yes, Jesus is the greatest love story ever told, wherein God Himself became our Saviour.  God manifest in the flesh. (I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6) 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) The Word made flesh and dwelt among us. (John 1:1-18)

Indeed, come to Jesus today. Respond to His tug on your heart string, and now that there is a peace that passes all human understanding -- and that peace is in Jesus.

" ... to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified." (Isaiah 61:3)

Stand in the offering plate.
