Good morning. We are back
to the handout sheets. I have been misrepresented by those who don't know Me.
If you don't personally know God, you cannot represent Him. Sadly there are
some even from pulpits who do that. They claim to be speaking for God and giving
His will in certain matters. You have to know Him and His word to represent
God. Others, not even claiming to be Christians, also spew forth what they
claim is God's view on things. Too many people believe what both groups say.
They say "if God exists He must not be a loving God". He says "I
am not distant and angry, but I am the complete expression of love". He is
near those who love Him. There are times though when love has to be tough. He
is not only loving, but also just. I desire to lavish My love on you because
you are my child, and I am Your father. It's not a little love, but a lavishing
love. I offer you more than your earthly father ever could. As Jesus said
"no father would give his child a rock or a serpent". Our heavenly
Father gives us much more than that - more than we can think or imagine. For I
am the perfect father. He is a good good father. That's who He is. And we are
loved by Him – that's who we are. Father thank You that You love us so much
that You sent Your only Son to die for us. Lavish Your love on the reader. Help
him/her to show that love to others. Meet his/her every need.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
