::The Cross::

 

Luke 23:26-47

"And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

 Now when the centurion saw what was done,

{he glorified God, saying, Surely, this was a righteous man.} "

 

Luke 23:26-47

May we all remember what took place on the

cross 2,000 years ago!

The message that happened that day is the same message that still stands today...

and may we remember

 what a great debt has been paid for not only me.....but YOU!!!

Blessings to everyone today...

Something that I love ♥

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

~Romans 12:9-21

My mothers homemade is THE best ever...but the true
"bread of life"...comes from my daily time with God every morning before the day gets going and busy...I love to sit and just read the Bible and write in my journal (s),  and this passage really means a lot to me right now!

It sort of describes what our lives as believers s h o u l d look like. ♥
Above the passage in my Bible it says "Christian Conduct".

 

 

I hope that you are blessed, my dear friends...and that you as well love to spend time with His Majesty  each day!

Love~

Maggie

We are still reading lots of scripture on "love" around our home....

this one being the most recent!

I hope that it blesses you as much as it did me!

 

1 John 4:7-21

^" Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
 We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."

1 John 4:7-21

On more of a 'random' note...
What is new with you?
Not to much is 'new' with us....just the everyday busyness of:
school, piano lessons, laundry, cooking, and cleaning! =D
One of these days I am hoping to share with you a recipe for a yummy homemade lip balm...along with pictures of some "everyday randomness"!
So...stay tuned!!
Have a lovely rest of your day!
Love~
Maggie
 

A love like this.....

These lyrics really touched me this morning...."the heart that bled, took all my sin...and bore it instead."

Truly........."how b e a u t i f u l".

 

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, {as I have loved you.}" ~John 15:12

 

Enjoy listening to this lovely song this morning!

I hope that all of you will have a lovely day filled with the mercies of the Lord!

Love~
