Who is Jesus Christ?

If you were to ask most pastors, seminary graduates, people in the pew, ‘who is Jesus Christ’? Their answer would be ‘He is the Son of God’. That answer is true. If you were to ask them, ‘is Jesus God?’ They would probably hesitate as they say, ‘I don’t know.’ When I ask those I would meet, ‘Who is Jesus Christ?’ Most would respond, ‘He is the Son of God.’ Then I would ask, ‘Is Jesus God.’ They would give an excuse as to why they didn’t know who is Jesus Christ! Ask your pastor, priest, friend etc. ‘Who is Jesus Christ?’ Please let me know their answer.

The Holy Bible clearly tells us Jesus Christ is God!

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23

“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” John 20:28

"And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life." 1 John 5:20

"But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:" (Why is He coming in the likeness of men? Because, He's God!) Philippians 2:7

"And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, ... ." Philippians 2:8

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. {9} For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2:8-9

"Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. {17} Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Timothy 1:16-17

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, ... ." 1 Timothy 3:16

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1

“Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.” John 5:18

"At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you." (Jesus in you - Showing deity) John 14:20

"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. {9} Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." Hebrews 1:8-9

What is Your Title??????

Hello Friend,

In this day and age everyone wants a title. It seems few are content with the address of politeness such as Mr., Mrs. or Miss.
The Holy Bible does not address Paul as Apostle Paul, or Missionary Paul, Etc. A title is never used before any of the Apostles' names! Sure, Paul was an apostle, missionary, saint etc. Did he need a title before his name to give him self esteem or a sense of worth.
Christians seem to need a title. Why?

Here, pick out a title: (smile)

Abbe, Abbess, Abbot, Ananda, Angel, Apostle of Humility, Apostolic Scribe, Arch cardinal, Arch Deacon, Arch Priest, Archbishop, Ascetic Gnostic, Bible Historian, Bishop, Brahman, Canon, Cantor, Cardinal, Channel, Child of the Universe, Colonel, Cure, Deacon, Dervish, Directress, Disciple, Druid, Elder, Emissary, Evangelist, Faith Healer, Father, Field Missionary, Free Thinker, Friar, Goddess, Gothi, Guru, Hadji, Gythia, Healing Minister, High Priest, High Priestess, Imam, Lama, Lay Sister, Magus, Martyr, Messenger, Metropolitan, Minister of Music, Minister of Peace, Missionary Doctor, Missionary Healer, Missionary of Music, Missionary Priest, Missionary, Monk, Monsignor, Most Reverend, Mystical Philosopher, Orthodox Monk, Parochial Educator, Pastor, Pastor General, Patriarch, Peace Counselor, Preacher, Preceptor, Priest, Priestess, Prophet, Psychic Healer, Rabbi, Rector, Religious Preacher, Revelator, Reverend Mother, Reverend, Reverend Father, Right Reverend, Saint, Saintly Healer, Scribe, Seer, Shaman, Soul Therapist, Spiritual Counselor, Spiritual Healer, Spiritual Warrior, Starets, Swami, Teller, Thanatologist, The Very Esteemed, Universal Philosopher of Absolute Reality, Universal Rabbi, Universal Religious Philosopher, Vicar, Wedding Officiant Wizard, Etc., Etc.

In our church, we address each other as brother, sister, pastor, etc.

In Jesus,
Bruce

Light For Your Path

Psalm 30:11 "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever."

Maybe for you, Thanksgiving time is not a time of rejoicing, but a time of remembering the joy once shared with a particular loved one. My mother died at Thanksgiving, and it was several years before I could consider it again a happy time. We don’t always understand our trials in life. Certain situations can make God appear cruel instead of loving. We can feel robbed instead of blessed or thankful. Please don’t give up. Hang onto faith like Job did.

Job was a good man in every way. He even got up in the mornings and offered sacrifices in case his family had cursed God in any way (Job 1:5). When his trial was the heaviest, his words were full of sorrow. His own wife had no words of comfort, and did not understand how he could maintain integrity. In Job 42:10, we see the Lord turning around Job’s situation when he prayed for his friends. Yes, God allowed Job to experience pain when He could have prevented it. Job held on to faith when he did not understand his trial and by doing so the Bible says in Job 42:12, “So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning”. How about praying that same scripture from Job 42:12 for your situation? Lord bless the remainder of my life more than the beginning.

May the Lord give “... you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that you might be called a tree of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified”, Isaiah 61:3.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Matthew 7:21-23

Hello Friends,

Jesus said:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21 What does Jesus say you must do to enter into the kingdom of Heaven? You must do the will of your Father which is in heaven!

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” Matthew 7:22 You can do many great works for Jesus, but unless you are doing the works He tells you to do, you are not going to Heaven.

“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:23 Hell awaits for those who do holy works that are not directed by Jesus.

"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." Jeremiah 3:15 True pastors must feed knowledge and understanding to you. Their desire should be to enable you to arrive in heaven. No one left behind! The pastor must teach Jesus’ teachings from His Holy Bible. You must learn how to know and do Jesus’ will, moment by moment.

Acadian Lighthouse Church Services

Hello Friends,

The church service at Arcadian Lighthouse Church, where we pastor started at 10 am and ended at 4:00 pm this past Sunday. The church provides lunch; we break for about an hour. Then Jesus starts the meeting again. One man had demons cast out, another had his knee healed, etc. etc. Jesus is real!!!! He was truly in our mist.

"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them , and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." Mark 16:20 KJV

Are you tired of warming a pew? Come to really have church! Come to be used of Jesus! Come to learn what your spiritual gifts are and how to use them. There are 17 spiritual gifts.

"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." 1 Corinthians 14:26 KJV

This is not a one man show, with a man sitting on his throne in control of his subjects! Some pastors have eunuchs sitting beside him.

In our church meetings, Jesus is in control as the chief shepherd.

With Jesus Christ in control, the meetings are very exciting! One doesn't know what Jesus is going to do next!

Jesus is our Lord and God!

In Jesus,
Bruce & Dana
