A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you; but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49 Jesus tells the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit endues them with power.
And said unto them, thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name, among all nations beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And He led them out as far as to Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. And it came to pass that while He blessed them, He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. The Greek word for power is dunamis, meaning force, or miraculous power.
Jesus tells the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit endues them with power on high. What a joy the disciples had in fellowship with Jesus after He had risen from the dead. Jesus had said unto them that thus it was written and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day. Now repentance and remission of sins should be preached in Jesus name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Now you are witnesses of these things. How I wish I could have been there, but thank God for the promise of the Holy Spirit has come, and we too have miraculous power to share this gospel in all the world. It is my prayer that you will seek Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior and worship Him with great joy. Many witnesses saw Jesus and many infallible proofs, then He led them to Bethany, where He ascended into heaven. May the Lord bless you to wait for Him, for He promised that I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am ye shall be there also. We know all these things are true, and we must tell everyone to tarry until He comes again to take us home in the great meeting in the air.
#So when they had dined, Jesus said unto Simon Peter, Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these? He said unto Him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed My Lambs. John 21:15 Jesus restores Peter
Jesus said unto them come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask Him, who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to the disciples. After that, He was raised from the dead. He saith unto him the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me? He said unto Him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He said unto him, Feed my sheep. He said unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou Me? Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time Lovest thou Me? And he said unto Him, Lord thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed My sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee when thou wast young thou girdest thyself, and walkest whether thou wouldest, but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. The Greek word for lovest is Agapao, meaning unconditional love. Peter answered with Phileo for friendship love.
Jesus restores Peter by asking him three times do you love Me, because Peter had denied the Lord three times. Jesus wanted Peter to respond with Agapao love, but instead Peter responded with Phileo love. So Jesus tells Peter the story of his life that when he was young, he walked where he would, but when he was old, another would take him and gird him where he would not, signifying the death that Peter would die to demonstrate his Agapao love for the Lord. What a lesson this is for us to observe and learn from that we must love Jesus with Agapao love and not Phileo love. May the Lord sink this lesson into our hearts and minds that we will never forget how much Jesus loves us, and we must feed His children and the adults the word of God.
#He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6 He is risen!!!
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment as white as snow, and for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead. And behold, for He goeth before you into Galilee, there shall ye see Him. Lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, and did run to bring His disciples word. And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, " All hail."And they came and held Him by the feet. and worshipped Him. The Greek word for risen is Egeiro, meaning to awaken
He is risen!!! just as He said, and the women were the first to greet the risen Savior. All Hail King Jesus, for He is Lord of all and all power is in His hands. Thank God the grave could not hold Him, and the stone was rolled away by the angel to let us in. Thank God He is risen, and let us tell His disciples. Why were not the men the first to see our Lord risen from the grave? It appears the women have more faith than the men. Nevertheless, the women ran to tell the disciples the word. I pray that if you are doubting, you will go to the Garden tomb and behold the place where His grave clothes were neatly folded, and the napkin around His head in a separate place. This resurrection Sunday, worship the Lord for He is risen just as He has said. If you have not repented of your sins, I pray you will, for Jesus is the one Mediator between God and man. The Lamb has become the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and He is coming back to take us to heaven in the place that He is preparing for us. Wash your hearts, ye double-minded, and turn to Jesus right now.
#Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast received gifts for men, yea for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them. Psalms 68:18 Jesus took Abraham's bosom and transferred it to Paradise.
The hill of God is as the is as the hill of Bashan; and a high hill as the hill of Bashan. Why leap ye, ye high hills? This is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it forever. The chariots of God are twenty thousand; even thousands of angels, the Lord is among them, as in Sinai the holy place. Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits. Even the God of our salvation. Selah. He that is our God is the God of our salvation. And unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death. But God shall wound the head of His enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his transgressions.
The Hebrew word for captive is Shabah, meaning to transfer from captivity. Jesus took Abraham's bosom and transferred it to Paradise and gave gifts unto men while He was in the grave. Now all those who were in Sheol are in Paradise with the Lord. What a beautiful thing this is. When the thief on the cross said remember me when you come into your kingdom, Jesus said today thou shalt be with me in Paradise. Let us rejoice in the Lord always, and give Him the glory who daily loads us with benefits. He is the God of our salvation. The GOD of our salvation gives us escape from the issues of death. But God shall wound the head of His enemies. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, for he shall take the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his transgressions. So repent of your sins and turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ while there is time. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
#(To the chief musician, upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David) My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken Me? Why art thou so far from helping Me and for the words of my roaring? Psalm 22:1 Happy Good Friday
O, my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not, and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel, our fathers trusted in thee. They trusted, and thou didst deliver them. The Hebrew word for "forsaken" is Azab, meaning "to loosen" and "to relinquish". King David prayed this prayer as it is the cry of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross, when the heavenly Father turned His back on the Son, because His eyes are too pure to look upon sin. As Jesus took all our sins and nailed them to the tree. This is why it is called Good Friday, because Jesus hung upon that cross from the third hour until the ninth hour. We praise the Lord for being the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. It is my prayer that you will share this gospel, and it is the truth that will set you free from all your sins. Jesus will be taken down from the cross by Joseph of Aramathia and Nicodemos, then they will embalm and placed it in the garden tomb. Jesus cried out it is finished and gave up the ghost. Jesus said Father, into thy hands I commit my Spirit. We praise God and look forward to resurrection Sunday when He will arise from the grave with all power in His hands.
#Peter said unto Him, thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, if I wash thee not, you have no part of Me. John 13:8
After that, He poureth water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel, wherewith He was girded. Then cometh He to Simon Peter, and Peter said unto Him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, what I do thou knowest not now. But thou shalt know hereafter. Simon Peter said unto Him, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus said unto him, he that is washed needed to yet to save his feet, but is clean ever whit, and ye are clean, but not everyone. For He knew who should betray Him, therefore He said ye are not all clean. The Greek word for wash is Nipto, meaning to cleanse
Jesus has just demonstrated a service of humility, and is teaching the disciples that you must deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me, I being your Master, then you must do likewise as I have done. Jesus said you are not all clean, speaking of Judas Iscariot, who would betray Him for thirty pieces of silver, which was the price of a slave. Let us wash one another's feet this Maunday Thursday, and imitate what Jesus did for the disciples. We are all the bond servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we too must set aside our pride and humble ourselves to serve one another for the glory of God. Peter was the one who would deny the Lord, even though he said he would not, so let us be careful not to deny Jesus the Lordship of our lives. Jesus is demonstrating His love for the disciples, even for the one who would betray Him. It is my prayer that we will love our enemies and pray for those who spitefully use us, teaching us how to be servants of God. So let Jesus wash your feet and prepare you for service in His vineyard.
#And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me. John 12:32 Lift up Jesus every day in your life.
The people who stood by and heard it said that it thundered; others said an angel spoke to Him. Jesus answered and said the voice came not because of Me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the prince of this world be cast out. This He said, signifying what death He should die. The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that Christ abideth forever, and How sayest thou the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? Then Jesus said unto them, yet a little while is Light with you. Walk while ye have the Light, lest darkness should come upon you. For he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. The Greek word for lifted is Hupsoo, meaning to elevate. or exalt. Lift up Jesus every day in your life, and you will be blessed. Jesus is preparing the disciples for His death, burial, and resurrection, and the prince of this world, who is Satan, must be cast out, and Jesus must be exalted as Lord of all. I pray that you are exalting Jesus this holy week and tell someone about His amazing grace.
#Jesus said unto him, " Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou then show us the Father? John 14:9 Jesus is comforting Philip
Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes unto the Father except by Me. If you had known Me, you should have known my Father also. And from henceforth ye know Him. and have seen Him. Philip said unto Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us. Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto thee I speak not of myself, but the Father who dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the very work's sake. Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do because I go to the Father. The Greek word for time is Chronos, meaning a space of time.
Jesus is comforting Philip about the Father and how it will be when He returns to the Father. We thank God for Philip asking these important questions of the Lord Jesus, and it helps us to better understand the Trinity and how it works. Jesus has completed the work that the Father has instructed Him to do, and now He is comforting Philip and the disciples as He is going to send the comforter, the Holy Spirit, who will dwell in them. The Holy Spirit lives within the child of God and seals us. May we live this holy week thanking God for the comforter and Philip, who asked just what we would have asked of the Lord had we been there.
#Then said Jesus unto His disciples, if any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. Matthew 16:24 Jesus is preparing the disciples for His week of passion
From that time forth, Jesus began to show His disciples how that He must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things, of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed and to be raised the third day again. Then Peter took Him and began to rebuke Him, be it far from thee, Lord. this shall not be unto thee. But He turned and said unto Peter, " Get thee behind Me, Satan; thou art an offense unto Me, for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. For whosoever will save his life will lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father, with His angels, and then He shall reward every man according to his works. The Greek word for deny is Apernoemai, meaning to abstain.
Jesus is preparing the disciples for His week of passion, as He has just triumphantly entered Jerusalem on the donkey, but He knows they will be saying crucify Him. Peter was so impetuous that he said be it far from thee, Lord. Then Jesus rebuked Peter, telling him that he did not understand the things of God, but of men. Jesus then told the disciples that the Son of man would be killed, and on the third day will be raised again. Then Jesus said what can a man give in exchange for His soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father, with His angels. Praise God as we celebrate Holy Week. Let us deny ourselves, and take up our cross and follow Jesus. For Jesus shall reward every man according to his works. Therefore, let us be joyful and courageous this week, and prepare for via della rosa, the way of suffering. For we brought nothing into this world, and we will take nothing with us. So let us win souls for Jesus and pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for they shall prosper who do so. Abstain from worldly lust, deny yourself, and take up your cross and follow Jesus. Then we will rejoice when Jesus comes in the Purusia to take us home to heaven. Let not your hearts be troubled, for ye believe in God, believe also in Jesus, for in my Father's house are many mansions, for if it were not so I would have told you, for I go to prepare a place for you, and I will come again to take you where I am also.
#And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that if they hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:40 Hosanna in the highest blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
And when He was come nigh, even now at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; saying, blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest. And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And when He came near, He beheld the city and wept over it, if thou hadst known, even thou at least, in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace!, but now they are hidden from thy eyes. For the days will come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee around. and keep thee in on every side. The Greek word for stones is Lithos, for a stone, a mill of stumbling.
Hosanna in the highest blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. As we celebrate Palm Sunday, let us remember to cry out and praise the Lord, as the children have done. However, the Pharisees tried to get the Master to rebuke them, but Jesus said if these should be silent, the very stones would cry out. Then Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they did not know the hour had come for the Messiah to bring peace with God, for He was the Lamb of God, slain before the foundations of the world. Five days later, they would be shouting crucify Him. Then Jesus warns them that their enemies will build a trench and compass thee around and keep thee in on every side. It is time to seek the Lord while He may be found, for there is coming a day when He will not be found. I pray that as we prepare for all the festivities of holy week, we would consecrate our minds and bodies to serve the Lord and to witness to His amazing grace in going to the cross to nail all those ordinances that were against us to the tree. Now we can have peace with God and with our fellow man. Be at peace with all men, and be ye holy, for without holiness, no man will see the Lord. This gift of God that paid for the wages of sin and gives us eternal life when we place our faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life. Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. May the Lord bless you to accept Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior.
