JESUS=IN OUR HEARTS

(Just like=John THE BAPTIST)

 

John the Baptist=Jesus’ cousin=Was the FORERUNNER to Jesus=

BOTH in life and death=Jesus was IN JOHN’S HEART=For John

KNEW exactly=who Jesus was

 

And we KNOW EXACTLY=who Jesus was=WHO HE IS=He

Is our LORD AND SAVIOR=the SON=of the Holy Father God=so

Jesus is=IN OUR HEARTS!=too=”……..and he had John=beheaded

IN the prison”                                                                                                                                    Matthew 14:10

 

Herod was=BOTH immoral and corrupt=We see it with Jesus=but

First we SEE IT=with John=Herod=also known as Herod Antipas=was

The SON of Herod the GREAT=who murdered ALL the children=at the time

Of Jesus’ birth=the feast of THE HOLY INNOCENTS=if you will=But Herod

Antipas=BEHEADED John=and met Jesus near his crucifixion=but the

POINT IS

 

John KNEW who Jesus was=and he was=IN HIS HEART=just as he IS

IN ALL OF OUR HEARTS=Jesus=IN OUR HEART!

 

“The Lord will again=delight in you=and make you prosperous=just as

He delighted in your ancestors=If you obey the Lord your God=and

 

Keep his commands=and decrees=that are written=in this

Book of the Law=and turn to the Lord your God=with ALL YOUR HEART=

And with all your soul”                                                                                                                 Deuteronomy 30:10

 

“But the Lord=said to Samuel=’Do not consider=his appearance

Or his height=For I have rejected him=The Lord does not look=At

The things people look at=People look at the outward appearance=but

The Lord=LOOKS AT THE HEART’”                                                                                              1 Samuel 16:7

 

Jesus is=IN MY HEART too=in my soul=and in my mind=and I LOVE HIM

With all MY HEART=How about you?=Is Jesus FOREVER=in your heart too?

 

Jesus=an INNOCENT MAN=died a criminal’s death=an UNFAIR DEATH=

As did many of HIS FOLLOWERS=including his cousin John=who was

The FORERUNNER=to Christ in life and in death=but Jesus was in John’s heart=

As he is=IN ALL OF OURS!

 

“This is the covenant=I will make=with the people of Israel=after

That time’=declares the Lord=’I will put my law=in their minds=and

Write it=ON THEIR HEARTS=I will be their God=and they will be MY PEOPLE’”                 Jeremiah 31:33

 

“He said to them=’You are the ones=who justify yourselves=In the eyes

Of others=BUT GOD KNOWS YOUR HEARTS=What people value highly=

Is detestable=In God’s sight”                                                                                                                Luke 16:15

 

And so my dear friends=FILL YOUR HEARTS=with love for=the

HOLY FATHER GOD=and for his Son Jesus Christ=for God

Knows everything=that is IN OUR HEARTS=and he wants hearts

That are=FILLED WITH LOVE=Jesus=FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER LOVING=ever living=Holy

Father God=who has a HEART FULL OF LOVE
