Knowledge and Understanding

Happy is the man who finds wisdom; and the man who gains understanding. Get wisdom; and get understanding. In reading and studying the Word; we get to know and understand the Father's GRACE. Our Lord desires for us to know Him and He wants to know us.

Thus says the Lord:
That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

A different Saviour Proclaimed (Luke 3)


And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight. 
Every valley shall be filled And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”


When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. 
And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said,

“You are My beloved Son; 
in You I am well pleased.”

John, the Holy Spirit and the Father herald the Saviour for His presence makes a difference. 
All who listened to John realised that John was calling  them to a different way of doing things and living.
The people asked John what should they do differently (verses 7-14); 

If we were to ask that question today; the answers would be the same' live lives that reflect who you believe in. 
Emulate your different Saviour; 
don’t tick boxes but give, share, be fair and honest. 
.
Let us not make attending a Sunday service be the only reason people know we belong to our Lord.
