Morning Bliss: Jesus The Servant_


Focal Scripture : Mark 12:29 'And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord':
                   
                 Read: Mark 12:28-30


Jesus repeatedly made reference to His deity for which the Jews had sought to kill Him, and yet He quotes from Deuteronomy 6:4, that 'The Lord our God is one Lord.'

 There are not two or three Gods and yet Jesus claimed to be God just like God the Father. 

This union is a great mystery that defies human understanding but can be accepted and believed.

Jesus in His pre-existent state was in the form of God. 'In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' 

Jesus is God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). However, Jesus did not demand or cling to His rights as God. 

He laid aside His Divine rights and privileges in order to take the form of a servant and be made in the likeness of man. 

He further humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the Father, even to the point of death. 

This was the supreme sacrifice that identified Jesus totally with humanity and enabled God to redeem mankind. 

By dying a criminal's death upon the cross, Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy of Deuteronomy 21:23, and bore our curse in His own body. 

This redeemed us from the curse, opened wide God's blessing of justification through faith in Christ, and gave us the promise of His Holy Spirit (Gal. 3:13-14).

The Creator became the creation; the Lord became the servant; the Highest became the lowest.

 All of this was done because of God's great love for us.

Morning Bliss: Give Cheerfully, Not Out Of Fear _ Focal Scripture : Matthew 23:23 'Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.'                                      Read: Matthew 23:23 Some have taught that Jesus did away with the tithe since it is not a specific part of the New Testament teaching.  But in this instance, Jesus made reference to the scribes and Pharisees tithing and implied that they were right in doing so.  The New Covenant did not do away with the tithe but it clarified what the motives for tithing should be. Abram tithed over 430 years before the law was given. Jacob also tithed approximately 300 years before the time of the law.  Therefore, tithing was a B...

Morning Bliss: Discipline Brings Life_ Focal Scripture : Matthew 18:18-19 'Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.'                                      Read: Matthew 18:15-19 Verses 18 and 19 have many applications, but taken in context, they are specifically referring to church discipline.  Some might think that church discipline is only symbolic and carries no real weight; however, Jesus is making it clear that in the spiritual realm, discipline that is directed by the Holy Spirit has much power. The scriptural commands concerning church discipline are designed to help restore the brother or sister who is...

Morning Bliss: Build Faith, Destroy Doubt_ Focal Scripture :  Matthew 17:20 'And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.'                                      Read:  Matthew 17:9-20; Mark 9:9-27; Luke 9:37-42 The disciples' unbelief in this instance was not a disbelief in God's power to produce deliverance, but rather a 'natural' kind of unbelief that came from a hardened heart that was more sensitive to what it saw than to what it believed. Jesus said that a very small amount of faith (a 'mustard seed') is sufficient to remove a mountain, if no unbelief is present to hinder it. Jesus was disappointed that His disciples had ...
