Saturday October 12, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Christianity is the only religion that has as its highest example a man who was taken and put to death publicly-

2-The Jewish culture of Jesus day considered crucifixion the most inhumane way to die-

3-There would be no resurrection of Jesus without his death-

4-As long as there is life there is still hope-

5-Even if your life is long in years, it is still short-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-To love, one has to risk not getting love back-

 

I'VE LEARNED-In the descendents of Seth and Cain, two distinct groups of people developed.  From Seth were people who lived righteously.  From Cain were people who degenerated into unrighteousness-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The glue of a barnacle cannot be dissolved with strong acids or temperature set as high as 440 degrees Fahrenheit-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Is the "glorified Christ" always associated with a brilliance of light?

2-Did Jesus have any genetic relationship with Adam?

3-Would Jesus have had DNA from Mary?

4-What is meant by "Jesus was fully human"?

5-Was Jesus subject to temptation with a potential to succumb?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who expressed dismay over how to feed the five thousand?

Today's answer-Philip    John 6:7

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     Acts 21:27-29

²⁷ When the seven days were almost over, some of his people from Asia saw Paul at the Temple. They caused all the people to be upset and grabbed Paul. ²⁸ They shouted, “People of Israel, help us! This is the man who goes everywhere teaching against the law of Moses, against our people, and against this Temple. Now he has brought some Greeks into the Temple and has made this holy place unclean!” ²⁹ (They said this because they had seen Trophimus, a man from Ephesus, with Paul in Jerusalem. They thought that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, we know that drinking fresh water is essential to our health, and without it we battle bodily disease and struggle to survive. Drinking from the springs of living water is essential to our spirit as we battle sin diseases of pride, jealousy, rage, bitterness, lying and so many other carnal attitudes that can result in spiritual death. As we drink from the springs of living water we flush out those carnal diseases that would seek to destroy us. Scripture assures us that we will be fully alive in Your Spirit as we drink regularly from Your life giving streams of living water.  Amen.
