Good morning. So we not
only come to the church of the firstborn; we also come to God the judge of all,
and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of
a new covenant, and to sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of
Abel. See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did
not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth (Moses), much less
shall we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. The judgment of
mankind today is much surer than that of those in the past. His voice shook the
earth then. That would have been very scary to be at that mountain. That's
nothing compared to what will happen: "yet once more I will shake not only
the earth but also the heaven". The good news is: we receive a kingdom
which cannot be shaken. Let us show gratitude by which we may offer to God an
acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire. How
grateful we should be that we receive such a kingdom. We should be very glad to
do whatever God asks us to do. We also escape the fiery wrath of God. Father
thank You that we are part of an unshakable Kingdom and escape the wrath to
come. Give the reader the wisdom he/she needs.

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 ...
