KNOWLEDGE=TO SEE JESUS
IN OTHERS AND OURSELVES
Do you have knowledge
Of the mysteries of God?
Do you have KNOWLEDGE
Of the mysteries of heaven?
The apostles did-you do-
I do-well we ALL do if we
CONSIDER ourselves to be
MODERN day apostles of God
And the Lord Jesus
We have insight
Into Jesus' WORD-and to the parables
And their MEANINGS
“WHY do you speak
To the crowd in parables?'
Jesus said to them
In reply,
'Because knowledge
Of the mysteries
Of the Kingdom of heaven
Has been granted to you
But to them
It has NOT been granted'” Matthew 13:10-11
How about that-you and I
Have knowledge-have INSIGHT
INTO the mysteries of God
“Teach me knowledge-
And GOOD judgment
For I trust your commands” Psalm 119:66
“The fear of the Lord
Is the BEGINNING of wisdom
And KNOWLEDGE of the HOLY ONE
Is understanding” Proverbs 9:10
“And this is my PRAYER-
That your love may ABOUND
More-in-more in knowledge-
And in depth and insight” Philippians 1:9
We KNOW the mysteries of God-
The mysteries of Jesus
For we ARE his sons and daughters
And we are
To INHERIT his Kingdom
We are his FAMILY
And he left us knowledge
That no one else has
It is Jesus-it is GOD
Who GIVES our hearts MEANING
He/GOD gives us the knowledge
To SEE his Son Jesus-in others
And in ourselves
He teaches us HOW to be
In RELATIONSHIP with him
We LEARN to see God/and Jesus
In our family members-
In our neighbors-
And even in strangers
He gives us the knowledge
Through parables to LEARN
HOW to love God-others-
And even ourselves
He gives our lives and
OUR HEARTS purpose and meaning
“They read
From the BOOK of the LAW of God
Making it clear
And giving the MEANING
So that the people understood
What was being read” Nehemiah 8:8
And the PARABLES
Help us to UNDERSTAND
What is being said by Jesus
And the SCRIPTURES
As well as to LOVE THEM (God & Jesus),
Love others, and love ourselves
