Bible Scripture Reading

"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 6 July 2012"

Today's Blog Tittle: "The Good News Of Salvation"
Today's Blog Scripture Reading: Isaiah 61:1-11
Today's Blog Key Verse: Isaiah 61:1 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound."

Isaiah in chapter 61, introduces the King who will rule in the glorious kingdom he had just described in chapter 60.  After Jesus read from this passage in Luke 4:17-21, in the synagogue, He said, "This day is the scripture fulfilled in your ears."  The "me" on whom the "Spirit of the Lord God" rests is Christ, the One whom God has "anointed...to preach good tidings" (good news), and to "proclaim liberty."  When Jesus quoted this passage, He stopped at this point, indicating that the "day of vengeance" (final judgment), had not yet come.

For all of her suffering, Israel is promised a "double" blessing from God.  Thus God reaffirms His "everlasting covenant" with them.  The chapter concludes with a song of praise to the Lord.  The "garments of salvation" and the "robes of righteousness" are synonymous and refer to salvation itself.  They are paralled with the garments of a bridegroom and a bride.

Today's Biblical Truth: "The Good News has been preached; the day of vengeance is coming."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.
Love God More Today. Pray for out Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus, and for Youcel Nardarkhani the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death for his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior and also for his lawyer who has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for defending him in the Iranian Court. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."

Jesus Reigns!!!  May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
