Sacrifice and offering you did not desire...

"Here are some more beautiful words about Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, as testified by His beloved disciple Mark."

And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.” And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

"I am just a gentile by first birth, I might as well be one of the dogs under the master's table. Fortunately, the Lord shows mercy to those who call on Him in Truth. Circumcision is of the heart by faith in the Messiah of Israel."

Then he returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And Jesus charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

“He is merciful, and patient and He willing gave His life as a ransom for many because of His great love. The Lord, the God of Israel is mighty. It’s He alone that can give sight to the blind and heal the broken hearted; and He works mightily through His spiritual body, the church of the First Born. Sin is a sickness and a disease. It does not matter if you live 15 years or 90 years, if you are not willing to turn from sin and look to Jesus the Messiah of Israel for salvation, you will die in your sins. For your clarification and edification, at the time of this writing, Christ is not ruling and reigning in bodily form as King of kings in Jerusalem. The resurrection of the dead has not yet happened (1). His Holy Spirit is enthroned in the hearts of those who love Him, and those who believe are washed and cleansed from sin in His sight. His Word is magnificent. (1) (2) (3)

He was born of a virgin in Bethlehem of Judea, the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. No one else has ever been born of a virgin, and no one else ever will be. He is the King of kings, and Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God is the image of the Invisible God. He is fully God and fully Man. His glorious disciple Mark called Him the Son of Man, as did many righteous Jewish prophets before him. I hope you love Him who is from the Beginning."

In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.”

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire — but my ears you have opened — burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come — it is written about me in the scroll.

I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.”

“David the great prophet, priest and king testified of God's goodness. He testified, or you could say he was like Jesus' faithful servant John, meaning he prophesied of His Righteousness. He spoke of the righteousness of the Messiah of Israel, Jesus the Only Begotten Son of God. There is no one like the Messiah of Israel, and one day He is going to rule on mount Zion, the old city of David, and there’s going to be perfect peace and justice. I am thankful that He is merciful and full of compassion to those who look upon His completed work; to those who look upon Him who gave sight to the blind man and paid the perfect penalty for sin at the cross! He is faithful and keeps His promises. His people Israel are a testament to that. One day the whole nation of Israel will be saved, and inherit the true boundaries of their land. My words don’t hold a candle to His. He is the Light of the World. Let your light shine, and remember He is beautiful! He testified that He is the door and the only way anyone can enter into everlasting life. One day all thieves and robbers will be forgotten. He’s the Good Shepherd, look to Him and find rest and peace for your weary soul. Remember His love, that is the love of a perfect father.”

One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”

The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”

“He called the paralytic man His friend. Remember He is the friend of those who love Him. If you abide in His Word and His Word abides in you, you will bear much fruit, peace, love, patience, kindness. He will teach you to hate what is evil and cling to what is good. I would rather be a paralytic and His friend than live 900 years without opportunity to be with Him eternally. He healed the paralytic and set Him free from sin. He is merciful and His love is unsearchable. He is our Living Hope, and the Hope of His Beloved, the nation of Israel! This is the Righteous God that Job faithfully served and offered sacrifices to daily as a faithful priest before God on account of his children.

Jesus is the high priest that intercedes on behalf of all He has granted faith. Please ask, the Father of Heavenly Lights, that He would increase the fruits of righteousness in your life. He is the Resurrection and the Life.

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. There was no man born righteous before Him. The effect of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. Jesus is Lord. Turn from your sin and believe in Him. He rose from the dead on the third day and testified of Himself to many that He loved. He was taken up into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God.

He’s enthroned in glory with all wisdom, power, and dominion. All things are His."

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying:

“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

"If you have not put your trust in Him, repent and believe in the Name of Jesus. He has the power to forgive sins. If you are far off, ask Him for mercy. Forsake your foolishness, your false gods and live. There is no One like Him. He alone sets people free from sin, and the temporary god of this world, Satan, that would like nothing better than to kill, steal, and destroy. His Word is Truth. Look to His Word.

He’s coming back quickly, and He will gather all who love Him to Himself. He wants you to be rejoicing before Him eternally with the great men who have come before us. Men like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Job will have the privilege of sitting with Him on His throne and ruling with Him. They already are. You can be near Him eternally, that’s something He alone can grant you!

If you love the One and Only Lord Jesus, please remember this. There is no other Name by which any man can be saved. No man comes to the Father except by Him.

Peace and God bless."
