The Manifestation of God’s Love To Us (I John 4:9-10)
I John 4:9-10, In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. No one disputes that Jesus Christ suffered. But the idea that His suffering was necessary, that He had to suffer, has often been the subject of scorn from those who have criticized and ridiculed Christianity through the centuries. It is also what sets Christianity apart. Many, for example, show respect for the person of Christ, but see the cross of Christ as a stumbling block and regard Christ’s atonement through suffering as foolishness. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we purposefully stand in this ridicule and embrace the cross of Christ. This perfectly illustrates I Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” Jesus suffered to pay for the sins of mankind. I John 4:10, “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” It wasn’t enough for Him to die. Jesus had to pay a debt. The payment was necessary. Jesus suffered to satisfy the demands of God’s wrath. As much as God loves you, He hates your sin with a holy, burning hatred that we cannot comprehend. The only way that He could embrace you was to get someone else—someone perfect, to pay for it. Romans 5:1, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jesus suffered to purchase the opportunity for our sins to be forgiven. No longer do we have to carry our sin around. We can be forgiven. God laid all of our sinfulness upon Jesus as He willingly suffered and died upon the cross. The debt was paid, opening the door to my forgiveness and yours. Jesus suffered to provide the way to eternal life. To get a gift, you must receive it (Romans 6:23). Have you? Do you know that Jesus is the gift of eternal life? His suffering has made that gift possible. That’s the Gospel; that’s the whole subject. Jesus paid for the sins of mankind. He suffered to buy our forgiveness. So the question remains—are you carrying around the burden of your sin and the wrong that you’ve done? Forgiveness. I tell you—it’s Good News!
Prayer: Father, You sent Your only Son to pay for the debt that I owed. Why You did that is hard to comprehend. Jesus Christ did nothing wrong, and I can’t seem to stay away from sin! But Your love is greater than my sin. What an amazing gift You have given me. Thank You for bringing me into a relationship with You through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help me to never forget the debt Christ paid for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Listening to God (James 1:19)
James 1:19a, Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, ….. Best friends since childhood, a wall-street investor and a farmer were walking through Central Park conversing. At one point the farmer said to his friend, “Did you hear that cricket?” His banker replied, “With all the noise in this park, how do you hear a cricket?” The farmer said, “You hear what you train yourself to hear.” To prove his point, he took a few coins from his pocket and threw them on the sidewalk. Everyone nearby immediately stopped and looked. If we are going to walk with God in the midst of a society that is set on going in the other direction, we must hear His voice. There will always be other voices calling out to distract us from our course, but our ears should be open and eager to hear what God has to say. This is what James had in mind when he instructed us to “be swift to hear” (James 1:9). Though the world speaks loudly, God often whispers. This was the experience Elijah had when he was alone on a mountain. He witnessed loud and powerful events: “And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice” (I Kings 19:12). Hearing that “still small voice” is vital to the renewal of our strength for the Christian walk day after day. But it does not happen unless we are willing to focus our hearing to discover what God has to say. Jesus said that those who know Him hear His voice. John 8:47a, He that is of God heareth God's words: ... John 10:4b, … and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. There are times when God speaks loudly, but most of the time He speaks in a still, small voice. If we are wise, we will be listening intently when He does. To do so, we must plan some out some quality time with God each day, study His Word and allow Him to guide us. Questions to Consider:
Points to Ponder:
Prayer: Lord, every day of my life there are many things I hear. Some I’d rather not hear and others I need to hear. No one else gives me greater joy than to hear from You. When I open my eyes in the morning, I long to hear from You. When my head rests on the pillow at night, I desire you hear from You. When troubles, successes, sadness, and joy come my way, I yearn to hear from You. Whether I’m fearing or at peace, my delight is to hear from You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Genesis 50:20, But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. In the days before World War II, Josefina Guerrero was the charm of Manila. She was young, bubbly, and married to a wealthy medical student. In 1941 she was diagnosed with leprosy and immediately began treatments. Later that same year when Japan invaded the Philippines all leprosarium’s were abandoned. Despite her disease Josefina joined the underground movement where she was very beneficial to the cause of smuggling food, clothes, medicine and messages to POW’s. She mapped out fortifications along the waterfront and the location of anti-aircraft batteries. When guerillas discovered a newly planted minefield where the 37th Division was scheduled to land in Manila, she was the one who got the message through. With little thought for her own life she trekked through miles of enemy encampments with the map taped to her back and delivered it safely. Because of her courage many dangerous missions were completed and the U.S. War Department awarded her the Medal of Freedom with silver palm for saving countless American lives. Amazingly, Josefina was never caught. In fact, Japanese soldiers steered clear of her as she lumbered through the streets of Manila. Even when she was stopped, she was never detained very long, once they recognized the shrouded bandages and the lesions of progressing leprosy. This is a great perspective of life which Joseph exhibited. He saw all the evil done him simply as a means by which God brought good. This perspective takes the sting out of our troubles and encourages our reaction to trials to be one of grace, not guile. Joseph, once again, showed the righteous spirit of his character in noting that God had ordained all which had come to pass years earlier. He understood how God had caused all things to work together for good for His people to bring greater good and deliver them at the end. Indeed, the story of Joseph is a wonderful illustration of Romans 8:28. George Mueller said, “In a thousand trials it’s not just five hundred that work for our good, but nine hundred and ninety nine – plus one!” The Scripture says, “God meant it unto good” which means that no disaster, disease, or delay can keep Him from turning it into something beneficial. God forgives our past, knows our present and has planned our future. May we walk in confidence that nothing can ever happen to you that’s beyond the scope of His grace and redemption. Our disappointments are God’s appointments. When God brings unexpected tragedy into our lives, it is hard for us to understand His logic. However, He is taking care of us while we are in the midst of tribulation. Prayer: Father in Heaven, I know the thoughts and plans You have for me are for Your glory and for my good. Whatever I may face today, I can expect that You are working for good in all of it. So I’m going to step forward in faith, trusting You in all things and seeking to cooperate fully with Your plans for me. I know I can’t imagine all the good You have planned for my life, but I also know it’s all coming in Jesus’ name, so I can say, amen!

Isaiah 40:31, But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. It's been said that “waiting is not just the thing we have to do until we get what we hope for. Waiting is the process of becoming what we hope for." There are things to be learned while we wait on God that can't be learned at any other time. We need to learn to trust Him despite circumstances, or to be content with what we have, or don't have, in light of all that He promises. These lessons, when embraced, will work in us a deeper level of trust and a greater capacity for resting in God. So, while you wait for what you hope for, allow the Lord to accomplish the things for which He hopes for you. God never ceases from His care and concern for us. While He is aware of all that is said, and misses absolutely nothing, He especially tunes in to His children. He has a heart for the cries of our hearts. He is the God Who hears and answers our prayers. May you sense His great love for, and pure interest in, you today. When we wait upon the Lord, we shall renew our strength. The word "renew" means "to change, to pass from one state to another, or to exchange." When we wait on God, we exchange our weakness for His strength. What we cannot do, He can. What we cannot see, He can. When we are weak, with His strength, we become strong. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Even young men in the prime of life become tired, weary, and even fall. As children of the Lord, if we will wait upon Him, He has promised to restore our strength. The word wait, carries the idea to trust the Lord and then wait for Him to act. Implied is resting and relying upon Him. As we trust Him, rest upon Him, and then wait upon Him, He will renew our strength. That was true then. It is true to this day. We are to trust Him, rely upon Him, and then wait upon Him to act. As we do, He has promised to renew our strength. The promise, without doubt, applies to spiritual strength. But it also likely applies to emotional strength, mental strength, and even physical strength. Waiting upon Him is trusting Him, which is faith. Blessed are they that trust in Him! PRAYER: Father in Heaven, help me to have the wisdom to learn to trust You and wait for Your timing. Give me peace during my season of affliction. Lord, I choose to trust You and wait for You to act. Please give me rest and peace, In Jesus name, Amen. If this post has blessed you in any way, please share this website and its articles with others: www.fellowshipbaptistcarrabelle.com Not Ashamed! (Romans 1:16)
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Paul was not ashamed or embarrassed of the “gospel of Christ.” It is the greatest blessing known to man. Romans 1:16 became key in the life of the 27-year-old evangelist, George Whitfield. In 1742, Whitfield was invited to preach at the fair at Marylebone Field, west of London with the condition that they would build him a platform. When the evangelist and his wife arrived at the fair-grounds, the sun was already down and the crowds were wild and rowdy. Muscular prizefighters challenged all comers to bare-fisted fights in the boxing ring. Whitfield seldom displayed fear, but on that night, he was obviously nervous as he mounted the rickety little platform prepared for him. As George raised his powerful voice, people began to gather around him. The crowds at the gambling booths began to thin out toward Whitfield as he preached louder. Shortly into the sermon, George saw a group of bare-chested fighters strutting straight toward him. George's voice began to falter, but he suddenly felt a tug on his trousers. It was his wife Elizabeth who said to him, "George, play the man of God!" Boldness shot through the veins of God's man as he firmly proclaimed without hesitation, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ! It is the power of Christ to everyone that believes!" He threw out his arms in a dramatic gesture and the platform nearly collapsed upon him. The fighters noticed the wobbly platform and tried to bring it down, but a group of Christians huddled around George. He continued to preach like a man trying to stand on the deck of a tossing ship. The people began to throw things at Whitfield. He was hit by a rock, a rotten egg, and manure, yet, he continued to preach on. When the evangelist finished his message, he was escorted to his wagon. A man lunged at George with a sword, but it was deflected by the cane of a friend. In spite of the pressure and harassment, Whitfield was a man of God that was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Not to the same degree of harassment as Whitefield endured that I can relate to, but 13 years of street preaching on Beale Street in Memphis, TN comes very close. May we learn from his courage and his example to not be ashamed of the Lord and His Word. PRAYER: Lord, knowing that only in You is there love, hope, and life; help me to boldly proclaim the gospel of Christ to whomever I encounter. In Jesus name, Amen.

Ephesians 5:18, And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; The Bible commands us to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is a command for every believer, not just for ministers or those who are in full time ministry. We need God’s power for every aspect of life. When a person allows the Holy Spirit to control their life, He can demonstrate His power in whatsoever they do. A man who drank heavily was converted to Christ and lived victoriously for several weeks. One day as he passed the open door of a tavern, the pungent odor drifting out aroused his old appetite for liquor. Just then he saw this sign in the window of a nearby cafe: "All the buttermilk you can drink—25 cents!" Dashing inside, he ordered one glass, then another, and still another. After finishing the third he walked past the saloon and was no longer tempted. He was so full of buttermilk that he had no room for that which would be injurious to him. The lesson is clear: To be victorious over our evil desires, we must leave no opportunity for them to repossess us. Dwight L. Moody once displayed the principle like this: "Tell me," he said to the congregation, "how can I get the air out of the tumbler I have in my hand?" One man said, "Suck it out with a pump." But the evangelist replied, "That would create a vacuum and shatter it." Finally, after numerous suggestions, Moody picked up a pitcher and filled the glass with water. "There," he said, "all the air is now removed." He then explained that victory for the child of God does not come by working hard to eliminate sinful habits, but rather by allowing the Holy Spirit to take full possession. It’s been said that every Christian is as full of the Holy Spirit as he or she chooses to be. We are filled with the Spirit as we are emptied of ourselves. It is said that when a group of churches met to consider inviting the evangelist D. L. Moody to come to England for a crusade, a young, prideful pastor protested, "Why do we need this 'Mr. Moody'? He's uneducated, inexperienced, etc. Who does he think he is anyway? Does he have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit?" An older, wiser pastor rose and responded, "No, but the Holy Spirit has a monopoly on Mr. Moody." God does not want control of our lives only for a while on Sundays or when we are with others from the church. His plan is for His Spirit to control our steps every day in every area of life. Surrender your will to His, and you will find yourself walking in the Spirit. PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I give myself to You today that You may fill me, guide me, and control me that I may bring glory to You. In Jesus name, AMEN!

Galatians 6:2, Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. There is no shortage of people in need. Have you ever been so busy in life that you missed the opportunity to do something big in the life of another? We all need help and we are all helpers—that’s part of being human. But what does it look like to help each other well? The people who help best are people who both need help and give help—being able to share their burdens and to bear the burdens of others. In many cities in the Middle East, carriages or carts were not allowed to enter the city gates, so porters usually had to carry heavy loads on their backs. These men were often chosen from among the poor and were forced to spend long days and nights in back-breaking labor. Often, two porters would walk side-by-side and take turns relieving each other. So when Jesus told those who were “heavy-laden” to come to Him for rest-it was a clear illustration of an everyday struggle (Matthew 11:28). When Paul encouraged the Galatian church to “bear one another’s burdens,” (Galatians 6:2), it was more than a spiritual truth-it was a way for Christians to practically live out their faith. Walking alongside someone who is going through a hardship means making time for that person, maybe at a child’s ball game, or at church, or over coffee, or during a small group meeting. It means having conversations that go beneath the surface, hearing what’s on his or her heart, and praying for and together with the person. As people who are needed, we can ask to hear our friend’s story. The better you know other people, the more you enjoy, appreciate, pray with, and love them. And the more you love them, the more they will invite you into their lives in times of hardship. Problems are complex, and there will be times when limits to our human gifts, abilities, and experience create the need for co-helpers. Maybe today you can do something to help lighten someone’s load. Think of someone who is hurting in your church or your community-and think of a way you can do something practical that will help them. Bearing other’s burdens is sometimes more than kind words and sweet notes. It’s rolling up your sleeves and doing something positive to affect their lives. If we are not willing to help others with their problems, then we have no one to whom we can minister. I want to encourage you today to be sensitive to the needs of others who are around you. When you go to church, go to work, or even spend time with your family and friends, ask the Holy Spirit to help you see when people are carrying too much by themselves. If you discern that they are burdened, go to them and ask, How can I pray for you today? What is happening in your life? God may use you to bring real relief and freedom into someone’s situation. Perhaps just providing a listening ear is all that is needed to help that person get through his or her dilemma. On the other hand, if an overwhelming problem, weakness, habit, or sin is pressing down on your life, you need to be humble enough to say, Hey, I need someone to pray with me! This is too much for me to do completely by myself! It may be difficult for you to open your heart and reveal your need, but it will be far more difficult for you to carry it alone until you eventually become emotionally devastated by that burden. As brothers and sisters in the Lord, we need to do everything we can to step deeply into people’s lives in order to encourage and refresh them spiritually and to help them get through their problems. When we see someone struggling, we must be bold enough to ask that person how we can help! When we work together as a Body in this way, every need will be addressed and met! 1. Have there been situations in your life when you thought you might break under the weight you were trying to carry by yourself? When that happened, did anyone come to you and ask how he or she might help or pray for your needs? 2. Have you ever gone to others to see how you could help them through the situations they were enduring? Or have you been too self-consumed to remember that other people have needs too? 3. Do you know of individuals you should check on today to see what you can do to help them through a situation they are facing? In what ways can you be a strength or an encouragement to them? Prayer, Lord, I am asking You to help me be sensitive to the needs of other people. Help me to stop being so self-consumed with my own concerns that I am negligent in recognizing the needs of people around me who need help and prayer. Holy Spirit, help me see through the masks people tend to wear to cover up what is really happening in their lives. Give me the wisdom to know how to approach people who need strength and encouragement. I pray this in Jesus’ name! Amen.

Mark 4:35, And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. Mark 5:1, And they came over unto the other side of the sea, Notice: The two verses. In Mark 4:35, Jesus told them in the beginning, just before the journey He would lead them to the other side. In Mark 5:1, the Scripture proves He led them to the other side. His sleeping shows us that while we are here on this earth we can have peace with Him while sailing through the storms of life. When the apostle Paul talked about his leaving, his going home to be with God, he said, “The time for my departure is at hand” (II Timothy 4:6). It was a picture of pulling up anchor and launching out into the great sea of eternity. Consider Noah in that ark. The waves came and the storms beat against it but he never fell out of the ark. You and I have security in Jesus. We have the promise that one of these days we are going to pass over to the other side. Our future is secure because we know Jesus as our personal Saviour. In New Testament times, the harbors of various cities would have a sand bar just outside the harbor. So if a boat got there when the tide was out, it couldn’t get into the harbor. They would just take the anchor and throw it over into the harbor. It really didn’t matter if the winds came and beat against the boat, because you see, they understood that when the tide came in, the ship would follow the anchor right on in to the harbor. Apart from God man has no hope for the future. As Paul put it, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” (I Corinthians 15:19). People look for security and hope in fame, wealth and achievement but those are fleeting at best. There is simply no security in temporal things because they can vanish at any moment. Jesus Christ is an “anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus” (Hebrews 6:19-20). Jesus Christ awaits in heaven and, if you are saved, you are going to heaven one of these days because the promise He made in John 14:1-3. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. The anchor is the guarantee that one of these days the ship is going on in to the harbor. PRAYER: Father in Heaven, when I remember Your promises for my future, nothing can shake my confidence that Jesus is coming to take me home. In Jesus name, Amen.

Jesus knew there was a storm coming. The wind obeys Him, but His children do not. This same Jesus is willing to come on board our little vessels too. But we must receive Him as He is. He is not going to change, but He will change us. We all need Jesus in our lives because we never know in what moment we are going to find ourselves in the midst of a storm. Jesus was Sleeping (4:38). Here was God, the master of this universe, asleep in a little boat. Notice: This is the only occasion when we read of Jesus sleeping. The whole scene underlines His humanity. Suddenly, the storm was upon them because Satan had seen his opportunity. The Lord was asleep! He was vulnerable! All Satan had to do was sink that boat! The wind howled, the waves arose, and the boat was tempest-tossed. Then disciples thought of Jesus. Jesus is greater than either Satan or the storm. So He slept. And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be stilt And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm (Mark 4:39). Note the difference between what He said to the wind and what He said to the sea. He rebuked the wind because the wind was what stirred up the waves, but He spoke “peace” to the waves. He knew them all. He created them. One word from Him, and they would do His will. Jesus was Sufficient. (4:39). “And he arose”. When the storm rose up (4:37), Jesus rose up. When a problem rises up in your life, Jesus will rise up. Safety is not the absence of the storm; it is the presence of Jesus. Have you ever had that experience? You were going under and here comes Jesus. I would rather be in a storm with Jesus than in calm anywhere else. Even when the world is crashing around us, we can have peace knowing that God is in control. He knows what we are going through and will be there with us through the midst of it all. Regardless of what we are facing, He has promised never to leave us or forsake us. His presence can give us hope, and we need to remember that whatever we face, He has allowed it in our lives. He has the power to calm the storm we are going through (Psalm 107:29). When we must face the trial, He provides rest in the shadow of His wings until our calamities are passed (Psalm 57:1). Don't be afraid when the winds howl and the storm beats on around you. God is your shelter in the time of storm. His words: “Peace, be still.” The winds fell as if power was turned off and the blades ceased to spin. As a result, the sea turned into a mirror of glass. The disciples looked at Jesus and said, “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” (4:41). PRAYER: Lord, thank You for being ever present and for the peace You give in the midst of life’s turbulent tempests. In Jesus name, AMEN!

Mark 4:38, And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? Several of the disciples were veteran boatsmen who had fished this lake for years. They had grown up on its banks, its shore had been their boyhood playground, and they knew its every curve and current. These men were skillful with oars and sails. Perhaps they thought that this was their jurisdiction. That Jesus could rest for a while and leave the sailing to them. Too often we do this. We feel as if we can handle life’s storms on our own. When this storm came, it came suddenly and hit them severely. Although some of the disciples were experienced fishermen they were prepared for this storm. This is one storm that brought the disciples fear to the point of panic. Next, we see that they had no hesitation. They woke him up. “Carest thou not that we perish?” they asked. Isn‘t it strange that we wait until we’re in danger to talk to Him, to share our concerns with Him? But at least they knew where to turn. “Master, Master, don’t you care that we perish?”. We read in I Peter 5:7, Peter encourages us to put all of our trust in Him for He cares for us. It has been said that this is the most ridiculous question in the Bible. Imagine, the disciples questioning if Jesus cared for them. Have you ever said that to Jesus? “Lord, don’t you care? Aren’t you concerned? Don’t you know?” Perhaps you can identify with the disciples. They believed they were all going under and, of all things, Jesus was asleep. “Don’t just lie there, Jesus. Do something.” Mark 4:40, “And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? Had He not said, “Let’s pass over to the other side”? Faith is taking Jesus at His Word. It’s not enough just to read your Bible; you must claim the promises of the Word of God and make them your own. You don’t have to be afraid when Jesus is on board. There is One who has power to calm the storms that come up in your life. Don’t you think for a second that a storm is a problem for the Lord Jesus Christ. We are in a daily routine, but when it seems things are about to get out of control then we call upon the Lord for deliverance. The Lord asked His disciples why they had no faith in Him. D. L. Moody once met a man who told him that he could not trust him. Mr. Moody was very blunt with him. He said, “Young man, whom can’t you trust?” It is an insult to tell someone we cannot trust him. How much more serious it is to say that we cannot trust God. Why could you not trust Me—Me?’ He asks the same question of us all. And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? (Mark 4:41) They now transferred their fear from the storm to the Saviour. If people knew the Almighty power of God people would fear Him! PRAYER: I thank You that You are the God of the impossible. You can do anything. I have nothing to fear with You on my side. I want to trust in Your ability and not my own. Teach me to see difficulties in my life from Your perspective. Help me to focus on You and Your power. Help me to be strong and courageous even in the difficult times. I choose to have faith in Your ability to break through every obstacle in my life. In Jesus name, AMEN!
