It’s been proven that Jesus is alive and standing next to God, The Father, while the other religions are dead and their bones are in their graves.

Jesus wants a personal relationship with you — yes,  you.

+

You can see how Jesus came to me in the first Testimony in Chapter 1.

Would you like Jesus to come to you, too?

and from Jesus Christ, The Faithful Witness, the first-born from the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth.

To Him Who loves us and freed us from our sins with His life’s blood.

They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this Man is indeed The ChristThe Savior  of the world”.   

John 4:42 (MEV) 

 

+

 

He is the brightness of His glory, the express image of Himself, and upholds all things by the word of His power.  When He had by Himself purged our sins, He sat down at the right hand of The Majesty on high.

Hebrews 1:3

 

+

 

 But you are a chosen group of people.

You are The Kings’s religious leaders.

You are a holy nation.

You belong to God.

He has done this for you so you can tell others how God has called you out of darkness into His great light.

1 Peter 2:9 (NLV)

 

+

 

This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.   

If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.   

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:5-7  (ESV)

 

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

3 John 2 (NIV)

For those who already now know Jesus personally:  Not under the bed or under a bushel basket, we are to put our light of Jesus on a lampstand for the world to see.

 

+

 

No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

Matthew 5:15 (NRSVA)

The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust Him.

Nahum 1:7 (NKJV)

 

+

 

Jesus answered the crowd, “The light will still be with you for a little while.  Walk while you have light so that darkness won’t defeat you. Those who walk in the dark don’t know where they’re going.   

While you have the light, believe in the light so that you will become people whose lives show the light so that you will become people whose lives show the light.””

I am the light that has come into the world so that everyone who believes in Me will not live in the dark.

John 12:35, 36a, 46 (GW)

 

+

 

You are the light of the world — like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see.

Don’t hide your light under a basket!  Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all.

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

“Don’t misunderstand why I have come.  I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets.  No, I came to fulfill them.

I assure you, until heaven and earth disappear, even the smallest detail of God‘s law will remain until its purpose is achieved.

So if you break the smallest commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven.  But anyone who obeys God‘s laws and teaches them will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 5:14-19 (NLT)

+

[This Song was written by a relative of mine — Charles Wesley]

+

 

Many people came to Him and said, “John did no powerful work, but what John said about this Man is true.”

 Many people put their trust in Jesus there. 

John 10:41,42

 

+

 

After breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon son of John, do you love Me more than all else?’

‘Yes, Lord‘, he answered, You know that I love You.’

John 21:15 (TNEB)

 

+

 

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him

1 Corinthians 2:9 (AKJV)

 

 

 

May God‘s grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with undying love.

Ephesians 6:24 (GNT)

From Aristides to the pagan Roman Emperor Hadrian:

+

“Those who oppress them [the Christians] they exhort [with the Word] and make them their friends.

They do good to their enemies.

Their wives, O King, are pure as virgins, and their daughters are modest.

Their men abstain from all unlawful sexual contact and from impurity, in the hope of recompense that is to come in another world.

As for their bondmen and bondwomen, and their children, if there are any, they persuade them to become Christians; and when they have done so, they call them brethren without distinction.

They refuse to worship strange gods; and, they go their way in all humility and cheerfulness.

Falsehood is not found among them.

They love one another; the widow’s needs are not ignored, and they rescue the orphan for the person who does him violence.

He who has gives to him who has not, ungrudgingly and without boasting.

When the Christians find a stranger, they bring him to their homes and rejoice over him.

When a baby is born to one of them, they praise God; if it dies in infancy, they thank God the more, as for one who has passed through the world without sins.

But if one of them died in his iniquity or in his sins, they grieve bitterly and sorrow as over one who is about to meet his doom.

Such, O King, is the commandment given to the Christians, and such is their conduct.

As men, who know God, they ask from Him requests which are proper for Him to give and for them to receive; and because they acknowledge the goodness of God towards them, lo! on their account there flows forth the beauty that is in the world.

The good which they do, they do not shout in the ears of the multitude, that people may notice; but they conceal their giving as man conceals a treasure.

They strive to be righteous as those who expect to behold the face of their  Messiah and to receive from Him the promises.

Truly this people is a new people, and there is something divine mingled in the midst of them.

Take their writings and read them; you will find that I have not put forth these things on my own authority.

The things I have read in their writings I firmly believe, not only about the present but about things to come.

There is no doubt in my mind that the earth stands today by reason of the intercession of Christians.

Their teaching is the gateway of light.

Let those approach, then, who do not know God, and let them receive incorruptible words which are from all time and eternity, that they may escape from the dread judgment which through Jesus The Messiah is to come upon the whole human race.”

Aristides

The Year of 125 AD
