“Christmas IS: –> ‘Reconciliation’ – 101” …Blog.
*** (Matthew 5:23-24) So if you are ‘presenting’ your gift at the altar; and ‘remember’ there that your brother has; = “Something Against You”,
(Matt 5:24) leave your gift there before the altar; and first go; and be “RECONCILED” to your brother. Then come and ‘offer’ your gift.
*** (1Jn 4:20) If anyone says: I love God; and ‘Hates’ his brother; he is a LIAR. For if he does ‘Not’ love his brother whom he has seen; how can he love God: Whom he has ‘Not’ seen?
*** (2Corinthians 5:17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ; he is a new creation. Old things have disappeared; and-look!-all things have become new!
(2Cor 5:18) All of this comes from God; Who has = “RECONCILED” = us to Himself; through Christ; and has given “US”: the ministry of = “RECONCILIATION”.
(2Cor 5:19) For in Christ; God was = “RECONCILING” = the world to Himself; by not counting their sins against them; and He has committed to us the message of = “RECONCILIATION”.
(2Cor 5:20) Therefore, we are Christ's = “AMBASSADORS”; as though God were pleading through us. We plead on Christ's behalf: “Be = RECONCILED = to God!”
(2Cor 5:21) God made the One [Christ Jesus]; Who did not know sin to be sin for us; so that we might become God's righteousness in Him.
Did ‘You’ know that “RECONCILIATION”… is the best gift ‘You’ can give “Anyone”…? In the ‘Above Scripture’ verses… “1Jn 4:20”… there are “Many” that say they love God; and yet ‘Hate’ someone! The Holy Word of God… says that: “You do ‘NOT’ Love JESUS”… IF: that is “Your Case!” In the ‘Above Scripture’ verse… “Matthew 5:23-24”… “IF” your Brother has: “Something ‘Against’ You?”… what: ‘You’ are to do! How will ‘You’ celebrate Christmas… knowing these “Things?” That is simply called… “Duplicity & Hypocrisy”…! It is worse than getting… “Having a ‘Victoria Secret Underwear Angel’ –> At a Christmas party!” Please tell me how does “One”… “Celebrate the Birth of Christ Jesus on Christmas”… knowing these things…? No wonder why… “America” is on its way out…! “Many” only call themselves, “Christians”… but “Do ‘Not’ Obey”… “His Holy Word!” [Luke 6:46 & James 1:22]
*** (1Timothy 1:19) with faith and a good conscience. By ‘ignoring’ their consciences; some people have ‘destroyed’ their faith; like a wrecked ship.
*** (2Corinthains 2:9-10-11) I had also written to you; to see if you would stand the test; and be ‘obedient’ in every way.
(2Cor 2:10) When you forgive someone; I do, too. Indeed, what I have forgiven; if there was anything to forgive; I did in the presence of Christ for your benefit,
(2Cor 2:11) so that we may ‘Not’ be outsmarted by Satan. After all; we are ‘Not’ unaware of his entrapments.
*** (Mark 11:25-26) And when you stand praying; “IF” you have anything against anyone; forgive it; so that also your Father in Heaven; may forgive you your trespasses.
(Mark 11:26) But “IF” you do NOT forgive; ‘Neither’ will your Father in Heaven; forgive your trespasses.
*** (Hebrews 4:5-6-7) And in this place again, “They shall ‘Not’ enter into My rest.”
(Heb 4:6) Since then it remains that ‘some’ must enter into it; and since they to whom it was first preached; “Did Not”: enter in ‘because’ of unbelief,
(Heb 4:7) He again marks out a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” (after so long a time). Even as it is said, “Today, IF you will hear His voice; harden ‘Not’ your hearts."

“MOST”, have forgotten: “WHO” [Not What] – ‘Christmas’ is ‘Really About!’ It is “NOT” about buying and giving: ‘Christmas Presents!’ Christmas celebrations are about the “Risen Christ”… Who is the “Passover”: Spotless: Sinless: Lamb of God! He came to “RECONCILE” the world; to Himself. He [God] has even provided: The “Eternal ‘Payment’ for (OUR) SIN/SINS!” That belief; that “Saving Faith”… must be: “According to the Scriptures!” And “NOT” according to what; some “Church or Denomination –> SAYS!” Many share an “Impotent Baby Jesus”… and mention “Nothing about: HIM”… being the “JUDGE of US –> ALL!” They teach “NOTHING”: about Him using “His Holy Word”… ‘The Bible’… in that “Final Judgment”; on that “Last Day!” “Not” to tell the “Complete Christmas Story”… “According to the Scriptures”… is to “Tell A LIE! Isn’t a Half Truth… “A Lie?” Mixing Truth with Lies… and calling it all Truth… “Is ‘Still’ Lying!”
… Just because “YOU”: are ‘NOT’ getting ‘caught’ in a “LIE”… Does ‘NOT’ mean: “YOU”… ‘Told the Truth’…!
*** (John 7:3839) The one who ‘believes’ in Me [Jesus]; as the Scripture has said; will have rivers of living water; flowing from his heart.
(John 7:39) Now He [Jesus] said this about the [Holy] Spirit; Whom those who were believing in Him [Jesus]; were to receive. For the [Holy] Spirit was not yet present; because Jesus had ‘not’ yet been glorified. [Luke 24:49 & Acts 2:1-to-4]
*** (Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not everyone who says to Me [Jesus]; Lord! Lord! Shall enter the kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will [Word] of My Father [God] in Heaven.
(Matt 7:22) “MANY” –> will say to Me [Jesus] in that day; Lord! Lord! Did we ‘not’ prophesy in Your name; and through Your name ‘throw out’ demons; and through Your name ‘do’ many wonderful works?
(Matt 7:23) And then I [Jesus] will say to “Them [the Many] –> I [Jesus] = “Never ‘Knew’ YOU!” Depart from Me; those working lawlessness!
*** (1Peter 4:17-18) For the time has come; for the judgment to begin; from the house of God. And if it ‘First’ begins from us; what will be the ‘End’ –> of those ‘Disobeying’ the gospel of God?
(1Pet 4:18) And if the righteous one is ‘scarcely’ saved; where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? [Acts 17:30-31 & Luke 13:1-to-5]
*** (John 12:48-49-50) He who ‘rejects’ Me [Jesus] and does ‘Not’ receive My Words; has One who judges him; the “Word” that I have spoken; the same shall ‘judge’ him; in the ‘Last Day’. [Revelation 20:10-to-15]
(John 12:49) For I [Jesus] have ‘Not’ spoken of Myself; but the Father [God]; Who sent Me; gave Me a command; what I should Say; and what I should Speak.
(John 12:50) And I know that His command is life everlasting. Therefore whatever I [Jesus] speak; even as the Father [God] said to Me; so I speak.

*** (Luke 24:44) And He [Jesus] said to them; These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you; = that all things must be fulfilled = which were written = in the Law of Moses = and in the Prophets = and in the Psalms about Me.
What more shall I say…? The Holy Word of God; has spoken and has been shared with ‘You!’ It is now up to You… ‘to obey or disobey’… “His Holy Word!” Many throughout the world; will celebrate Christmas… and ‘Never’ give any thoughts about these ‘Things!’ Remember, Christ Jesus said… “To whom much is given; much will be required!” Here in America we have the Gospel like no other nation. There are more Bibles per capita; than ‘anywhere’ in the World. Yet it is the “Lest Read & Obeyed”… book that “America Has!” Those Videos, Music CD and Television… has more following than the Bible! Will this Christmas be like all ‘Others’… or will ‘You’… get your Heart: “Right with Jesus”…?
*** (1Samuel 15:22-23) And Samuel said, Does the LORD Jehovah; delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices; as in Obeying the voice [Word] of the LORD Jehovah? Behold, “To OBEY” is better than sacrifice! To listen is better than the fat of rams!
(1Sam 15:23) For ‘Rebellion’ is as the sin of witchcraft; and ‘Stubbornness’ is as iniquity and idol-worship. Because you have ‘Rejected’ the Word of the LORD Jehovah; He has also rejected you from being king!
*** (1Sa 16:7) But the LORD Jehovah said to Samuel; Do ‘Not’ look on his face; nor on his height; because I have ‘refused’ him. For He does not see as man sees. For man looks on the outward appearance; but the LORD Jehovah; looks on the [your] heart.
*** (Luke 12:48-19) But the servant who did things that deserved a beating without knowing it; will receive a light beating. Much will be required from ‘everyone’ to whom “Much” has been given. But even more will be “Demanded” from the one; to whom ‘Much’ has been entrusted."
(Luke 12:49) "I have come to bring fire on earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
*** (1Corinthains 4:2) And the rest; it is sought among stewards; that one be found Faithful.
*** (Micah 6:8) He has shown you; O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you; but to do justice; and to love mercy; and to walk humbly ‘with’ your God?
*** (James 4:3) You ask for something but do not get it; because you ask for it; for the wrong reason; for your ‘own’ pleasure.

*** (Galatians 4:16) So have I now become your enemy for telling you the TRUTH? [John 17:17]
*** (John 15:18-to-23) IF the world hates you; you know that it hated Me [Jesus] before it hated you.
(Joh 15:19) If you were of the world; the world would love its own. But because you are ‘Not’ of the world; but I have ‘chosen’ you out of the world; therefore the world ‘hates’ you.
(Joh 15:20) Remember the Word that I [Jesus] said to you; The servant is ‘Not’ greater than his master. If they have ‘persecuted’ Me [Jesus]; they will also ‘persecute’ you. If they have ‘kept’ My saying; they will also ‘keep’ yours.
(Joh 15:21) But ‘all’ these things they will do to you; for My name's sake; “BECAUSE” they do ‘Not’ know Him [God]; Who sent Me [Jesus].
(Joh 15:22) If I had ‘Not’ come and spoken to them; they would ‘Not’ have had sin; but now they have “No Excuse” –> for their Sin.
(Joh 15:23) He who ‘hates’ Me [Jesus]; ‘hates’ My Father [God] also.
*** (1Jn 5:2-3) By this we know that we love the children of God; whenever we ‘love’ God and ‘keep’ His commandments.
(1Jn 5:3) For this is the love of God; that we ‘keep’ His commandments [Word]; and His commandments are ‘Not’ burdensome.
Love; in Christ, Roger / “Psalms 138:2”…!
