Jesus' Words About Moses' Teachings & The Prophets

Matthew 5:17 “Don’t ever think that I came to set aside Moses’ Teachings or the Prophets. I didn’t come to set them aside but to make them come true."

Matthew 7:12 “Always do for other people everything you want them to do for you. That is the meaning of Moses’ Teachings and the Prophets."

Totally Carefree Yet Very Sincerely

Yesterday, as I was exiting the Church of the Nazarene open-air tabernacle where I have been teaching our Lord's "Sermon on the Mount" for this past week near Pittsburgh, PA., a darling, five-year-old little girl skipped joyfully past me singing totally carefree yet very sincerely and loud enough for all to hear these words:

"Today, is the day, YOU have made.
I will rejoice, I'm glad in it.!"

My soul began to leap within me.

Unless we become as little children...

Hands of Kindness

On the Mount of Beatitudes Jesus delivered His Sermon on the Mount. It's recorded in Matthew 5, 6, and 7. He spent the night before praying on the top of the mountain then preached the next day on the flat plain overlooking the Sea of Galilee. In His sermon Jesus said: Blessed are the merciful... Yes, blessed are the kind...

On our Holy Land Pilgrimage we read aloud from Matthew 5, yes from The Beatitudes of our Lord's Kingdom. Indeed the Beatitudes are the attitudes of those who belong to Him. After our reading time, Dara fashioned a cross from some of the straw on the mountainside. How the Lord must've been moved to receive such a personal expression of love from one of his daughters! With hands of kindness, Dara then offered the straw cross to her pastor on Christ's behalf. What an attitude of gratitude. Humbling. Touching. Blessed.

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
