HELLO AGAIN!

Hi, friend! I'd like to have a discussion here with you, but I know it's impossible, so, I'm going to share a bit from our past Sunday's sermon and hope you find it fruitful.  It was to me.


Our wonderful pastor said, "The mystery of life can be solved in both the New and the Old Testament.  The Old Testament tells us that we must fall in love with the One who made us, more than with anyone or anything else. Although it is "hidden in plain view" it is within "Hear, O Children of God, love the Lord your God with all your Heart!" And he went on to say, " But, above all, don't miss a love relationship through Jesus!"


He went on to tell us of the many who fell in love with Jesus throughout the New Testament, including the 3,000 or more in one day at Pentecost, the day the Holy Spirit took over the huge room that held all those folks from so many lands.  But most of all, our pastor told us how to stay in love with Jesus, and that lesson comes from Acts 2: 41-47 Perhaps you can read this on your own as it is too long to type in here.


 In that passage Paul tells us we can be taught by the Apostles who were taught by Jesus, by reading the words the disciples wrote in our Bibles, words they used to teach those they met in their travels.
Much of what they taught centered on Christ's love for the world, including you and me.


 Secondly, we must have fellowship with Jesus for if we love someone we want to also spend time with him or her. Therefore, we will want to have fellowship with Jesus by having fellowship with other Christians who love Him..


Thirdly, we must worship Jesus, by breaking bread and drinking wine, the essence of Christ.


And finally, we must talk to Jesus in our prayers.


These four things are necessary to fall in love with Jesus and believe in his love for you, without a doubt!


"No one will force you to return Christ's love, but if you want to know the mystery, the truth of His love for you, the joy of life--Fall in love with Jesus!  If you do, you will have the greatest love relationship possible in this Life.!"


My thanks to our beloved Pastor, J. S., for his words and thoughts. His words here are in quotes.


And this is me, Jo, thanking you for reading these words today.
