Evening Prayer

Jesus Sitting With Us

The Big Picture: Author: The Apostle Paul Date: A.D.62. Paul wrote this letter from His Prison in Rome; it seemed to have been written about the same time as Philemon and shortly before Ephesians. The Purpose: Colosse was a considerable city of PHYRGIA, Probably not very far from Laodicea and Hierapolic (ch.4:13). The design is to warn them of danger of the Jewish zealots, who pressed the necessity of observing ceremonial law, and to fortify them against mixing Gential philosophy with thier christian principles. This doctrinal heresy was reported by Epaphras. Strange false doctrine is not described directly, but we can infer its nature from what Paul says. It's a mixture of Judaism and some early Gnoticism, which taught that Jesus was super human, but not truly God. He was the greater than human beings, but nat a Savior. Paul professes a great satisfaction in their steadfastness and constancy and encourages them to persever. Major Theme: Jesus Christ is Pre-eminent. He is the Head of all; He is Lord of all. __________________________________________________
_For the Recovery People: Recovery Is A Life Long Process: We may long for a day when we will be totally free from the bondages of our past - a day when recovery will be complete and we can go on with our life. But recovery is a life long process, with daily challenges to maintain contack with our powerful and loving God. From this letter to the Colossian believer's, we do learn that our life with Jesus Christ is not just a one time rescue operation but a life long commitment. The Recovery Involves Faith In God: One danger we face after a period of successful recovery is the tendency to forget how we needed God. It is easy to start thinking we can go alone, depending on rules and formulas of success. The Apostle Paul warned us about the Colosians about this danger,urging them to live in daily contack and communiation with God. It is true that with maturity comes strengths of character, but in it is not true that we can end our faith in God. Self- sufficency got us into trouble in the first place, and it can lead us to relapse as well. If we are to experience true recovery, we need to fully acknowledge our on-going need for God. Jesus Christ Is Lord of The Universe: The entire universe is being held together by the Power of Jesus Christ. e is the Supreme Ruler and Lord of all creation. He is the reflection of the Invisible God. He is eternal, pre-existent, omnipotent, and equal to the Father. He is also the Lord of every successful recovery. What a privilege to depend not merely on someone anoymous "higher power" , but on the highest power of all How incredible that He invites each of us to have a personal relationship with Him! _Healthy Relationships: An important part of the recovery process involves making amends to the people we have wronged. This letter to the Colossians give us practical guidance in this area. The Apostle Paul calls us to live accordingly to the principles of selfless love and to mutually respect all people in our life. If we treat others in ways that builds them up, our relationships will grow stronger and support is in the recovery process. ________________________________________________
Colossians 1:1-14 [K.J.V.]
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
2To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
4Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
5For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
6Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
7As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
8Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:_________________________________________________________________ The Bottom Line:
All true Christians are brethren one to another. Faithfulness runs through every character and relation of the Christian life. Faith, hope, and love, are the three principal graces in the Christian life, and proper matter for prayer and thanksgiving. The more we fix our hopes on the reward in the other world, the more free shall we be in doing good with our earthly treasure. It was treasured up for them, no enemy could deprive them of it. The gospel is the word of truth, and we may
safely venture our souls upon it. And all who hear the word of the gospel, ought to bring forth the fruit of the gospel, obey it, and have their principles and lives formed according to it. Worldly love arises, either from views of interest or from likeness in manners; carnal love, from the appetite for pleasure. To these, something corrupt, selfish, and base always cleaves. But Christian love arises from the Holy Spirit, and is full of holiness. (Col1:9-14)

Second Coming

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.Matthew 24:27-31Luke 21:25-28; Mark 13:24-27 (King James Version)
_______________________________________ The Bottomline is: 1. The Apostacy of some. When the profesesion of Christianity begins to cost men dearly, than shall many be offended; they will begin to pick quarrels at lengths revolt from it. Suffering times are shaking times, and those whom fall in the storm that stood in fair weather. They like their religion while they can have it cheap, but if their profession cost them anything, they quit. 2. They shall betray one another. That is, those that have treacherously deserted their religion shall hate and betray those that adhere to it. Apostates have commonly been the most bitter and violent persecutors. 3. The general declining and cooling of the most.When the Saints are hated, expect two things: (a.) The abounding iniquity,more extensive than ordinary, so that hell seems to be broke loose in blasphemies against God and enmities to the saints.(b) The abating love; this is the consequences of the former.Or, it may be understood more of brotherly love. When iniquity abounds Christians begin to shy away and suspicious one of another, affection are alienated, distance created, parties made; and so love comes to nothing. _________________________________ The troubles before the destruction of Jerusalem.
The disciples had asked concerning the times, When these things should be? Christ gave them no answer to that; but they had also asked, What shall be the sign? This question he answers fully. The prophecy first respects events near at hand, the destruction of Jerusalem, the end of the Jewish church and state, the calling of the Gentiles, and the setting up of Christ's kingdom in the world; but it also looks to the general judgment; and toward the close, points more particularly to
the latter. What Christ here said to his disciples, tended more to promote caution than to satisfy their curiosity; more to prepare them for the events that should happen, than to give a distinct idea of the events. This is that good understanding of the times which all should covet, thence to infer what Israel ought to do. Our Saviour cautions his disciples to stand on their guard against false teachers. And he foretells wars and great commotions among nations. From the time that the Jews
rejected Christ, and he left their house desolate, the sword never departed from them. See what comes of refusing the gospel. Those who will not hear the messengers of peace, shall be made to hear the messengers of war. But where the heart is fixed, trusting in God, it is kept in peace, and is not afraid. It is against the mind of Christ, that his people should have troubled hearts, even in troublous times. When we looked forward to the eternity of misery that is before the obstinate refusers
of Christ and his gospel, we may truly say, The greatest earthly judgments are but the beginning of sorrows. It is comforting that some shall endure even to the end. Our Lord foretells the preaching of the gospel in all the world. The end of the world shall not be till the gospel has done its work. Christ foretells the ruin coming upon the people of the Jews; and what he said here, would be of use to his disciples, for their conduct and for their comfort. If God opens a door of escape, we ought
to make our escape, otherwise we do not trust God, but tempt him. It becomes Christ's disciples, in times of public trouble, to be much in prayer: that is never out of season, but in a special manner seasonable when we are distressed on every side. Though we must take what God sends, yet we may pray against sufferings; and it is very trying to a good man, to be taken by any work of necessity from the solemn service and worship of God on the sabbath day. But here is one word of comfort, that for
the elect's sake these days shall be made shorter than their enemies designed, who would have cut all off, if God, who used these foes to serve his own purpose, had not set bounds to their wrath. Christ foretells the rapid spreading of the gospel in the world. It is plainly seen as the lightning. Christ preached his gospel openly. The Romans were like an eagle, and the ensign of their armies was an eagle. When a people, by their sin, make themselves as loathsome carcasses, nothing can be
expected but that God should send enemies to destroy them. It is very applicable to the day of judgment, the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in that day, 2Th 2:1. Let us give diligence to make our calling and election sure; then may we know that no enemy or deceiver shall ever prevail against us. (Mt 24:29-41)

Preparing The Way Of The Lord

Days of Elijah
Words and Music by Robin Mark Click here to play
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the LordAnd these are the days of your servant Moses
Righteousness being restoredAnd though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and swordStill we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as fleshAnd these are the days of your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praiseAnd these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in the worldAnd we are the labourers in your vineyard
Declaring the word of the Lord!Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
(Repeat 3 times)Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
___________________________________________________________________ Prepare The Way Of The Lord:
2And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.[Ezek.46:1-3].
The Bottom Line: The gateway shall be shut to serve it's purpose of it giving special meaning and distinction to the Sabbath and the New Moon, when it's open and in use. Isreal largely failed and was judged in ancient times in regard to those days ( Jer. 17:22-27); cf, 2Chr.36:2). The Sabbath will be reinstated for a restored and regenerated Isreal. Note: Here that modern day sabbatrains fail to realize that the sabbath consisted of far more than just rest from labor, but included specific sacrifices. It consisted of to take one part of the sabbath observance and discard the others. As we go from here to (Ezek.44:3) we will note this : The designation "prince" is used at least 14 times in chaps [44-47]. He is Not the Lord Jesus Christ, but someone distinct from him (cf."eat bread before the Lord"); he has sins for which he offers sacrifice (45:22), and fathers sons(46:16-18). He Cannot enter by the E-gate which the Lord used, but he is allowed to come in by the vestibule, and eat bread by the gateway. He Cannot perform preistly duties (45:19) as the Messiah will (cf,Ps.110:4;Zech.6:12,13), and he Must worship the Lord (46:2). Most likely "the prince" Is one who is neither priest or king, but rather one who administrates the kingdom, representing the King ( of the Lord Jesus Christ) on one hand, and also princes (14:8,9) who individually lead the 12 tribes. Possibly, he will be the desendant of David.
2But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
[Mal.3:1-3].
The first words of this chapter seem an answer to the scoffers of those days. Here is a prophecy of the appearing of John the Baptist. He is Christ's harbinger. He shall prepare the way before him, by calling men to repentance. The Messiah had been long called, to �He that should come, to � and now shortly he will come. He is the Messenger of the covenant. Those who seek Jesus, shall find pleasure in him, often when not looked for. The Lord Jesus, prepares the sinner's heart to be his
temple, by the ministry of his word and the convictions of his Spirit, and he enters it as the Messenger of peace and consolation. No hypocrite or formalist can endure his doctrine, or stand before his tribunal. Christ came to distinguish men, to separate between the precious and the vile. He shall sit as a Refiner. Christ, by his gospel, shall purify and reform his church, and by his Spirit working with it, shall regenerate and cleanse souls. He will take away the dross found in them. He will
separate their corruptions, which render their faculties worthless and useless. The believer needs not fear the fiery trial of afflictions and temptations, by which the Saviour refines his gold. He will take care it is not more intense or longer than is needful for his good; and this trial will end far otherwise than that of the wicked. Christ will, by interceding for them, make them accepted. Where no fear of God is, no good is to be expected. Evil pursues sinners. God is unchangeable. And
though the sentence against evil works be not executed speedily, yet it will be executed; the Lord is as much an enemy to sin as ever. We may all apply this to ourselves. Because we have to do with a God that changes not, therefore it is that we are not consumed; because his compassions fail not. (Mal 3:7-12)

The Bread From Heaven Or The Bread From Hell - Which Will It Be?

Without realizing it - mankind is crying out daily for "bread" -
everything that is necessary to sustain life. Every one is looking for a sufficient quantity that will support their health and strength and bring them happiness and contentment.
In Matthew 6:11, the Lord Jesus taught us to pray to the Father inthis manner - "Give us this day our daily bread."
The only problem with this prayer is that mankind - in praying this way - must acknowledge that God is their source of life and provision and that they are indeed dependent upon Him for both.
Most people do not want to acknowledge this truth because they know - in doing so - they will automatically become accountable to Him for the manner in which they live their life on this earth.
Interestingly enough, when Jesus started His ministryHeaddressed the topic of - "bread." This is what He said to the people - John 6:32-33,35,48- 51,and 58 say - "...but My Father giveth you the
true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He Which cometh down
from heaven and giveth life unto the world...And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and
he that believeth on Me shall never thirst...I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is
the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof,
and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any
man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I
will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world...This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever."
"...My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven..."
>From this statement, can we conclude that there is "a false bread"
which does not come from God or heaven? Can we assume that it comes
from the world, the flesh, and the devil and issues forth from the
bowels of Hell?
We would all have to agree that Satan has a counterfeit for everything
that God has.
Since God has His "bread from heaven," then it is only logical to
believe that Satan has his "bread from hell" as well.
As we study the Scriptures, we find that there are various kinds
of "bread" which every man is exposed to in his particular lifetime on
this earth.
There is the "bread of tears"(Psalm 80:5) which typify a time of
continual sorrow, great affliction, along with no comfort and peace.
It is a time when the tears flow so copiously.
In Psalm 127:2, we read about the "bread of sorrows." This is
the "bread" of care, anxiety, and trouble - gotten through much sorrow
and labor.
Proverbs 4:17 tells us about the "bread of wickedness." This is
enjoyed by those who live by flagrant vices - while stealing from
others and getting things through wicked or unlawful means.
Proverbs 20:17 introduces us to the "bread of deceit" which includes
all sin. Specifically, it refers to property unlawfully obtained or
acquired by falsehood and without labor.
Proverbs 31:27 mentions the "bread of idleness." This is the "bread"
eaten by those who waste their lives away in frivolity and pleasure
rather than in the wise management of their time and resources.
Isaiah 30:20 speaks of the "bread of adversity" - "bread" symbolizing
a time of calamity, distress, or want.
Ezekiel 4:13 tells us about "defiled bread" - the "bread" that God's
so-called people partake of when they compromise their holy standards -
exchanging or lowering them for the pleasures of this world.
The Prophet Malachi mentioned the "polluted bread" - the blemished
sacrifices which the people of God tried to offer Him. This type
of "bread" represented the people offering Him their "worst" instead
of their "best"(Malachi 1:7).
Lastly, in 1 Corinthians 5:8, the Apostle Paul mentioned
the "unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" which symbolized having
a sincere love to God and His people.
In the midst of human life, Jesus stepped in and proclaimed - "...I am
the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he
that believeth on Me shall never thirst"(John 6:35).
In the midst of a lifetime riddled with pain, sorrow, tears, grief,
and heartache - this certainly was a great offer for mankind to claim
and Jesus was certainly the Hero of the day!
After hearing His sermon for the day, the people chimed in in saying -
"...Lord, evermore give us this bread"(John 6:34). But were they all
serious or did they all have the same concept in mind of what they
were asking from Him?
As we read through the account, we find that there were those who
wanted Jesus' "bread" because they were sensual, covetous, idle, and
vain. John 6:26 reveals their true motive - "Jesus answered them and
said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek Me, not because ye saw
the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled."
It would be great to have a continual supply of food without any
charge...to never have to work for it...or to enjoy a life whereby
things are so easily accessible.
Others who said - "Lord, evermore give us this bread" - were asking
with a bit of skepticism in their hearts and derision in their voices.
They really didn't believe that such a "bread" could be possible.
Then again, there were those whose eyes were opened to the Living Son
of God - the "Bread from heaven" - and earnestly desired to live upon
Him all the days of their life.
"This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat
thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from
heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the
bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of
the world"(John 6:50-51).
Jesus is the "bread of life." He is the crucified Lord Whom every
believer appropriates by faith. The "bread" that He offers quickens,
strengthens, and satisfies the soul. It is "living bread." There is no
death in it.
The Apostle John said this about Jesus in John 1:4 - "In Him was
life..." In other words, He is the fountain of life - physically,
morally, and eternally. He is the foundation of life - the principle
or essence of it - to every living thing.
This being so - then we must ask ourselves a serious question - why is
it that the description which the Prophet Isaiah drew in Isaiah 1:5
typifies so many in the church today - "...the whole head is sick, and
the whole heart faint"?
On what kind of "bread" are they feasting? Is it the "bread from
heaven" or the "bread from hell"?
The answer is obvious.
If there is spiritual "death" lurking in a Christian's life or walk,
it would only stand to reason that he has been partaking of the wrong
kind of "bread." It is very probable that he has been partaking of the
world's "dainties" as set forth by Hollywood, for example.
The "bread" that Jesus offers gives and sustains life.
If you find yourself drifting away from God or backsliding in your
commitment of Bible Study and prayer, then there is a good chance that
you are guilty of eating the "bread from hell" - which brings eternal
death on your soul.
"Lord, evermore give us this bread."
Be careful when you pray that prayer. God is looking at the motive of
your heart.
If you are going to settle for the "bread" that Jesus offers, then
that means that you are going to have to cast out any and all "bread"
that comes from hell.
Are you willing to become "extreme" for God?
>From this day forward, are you going to scrutinize what goes into
your eye-gate and ear-gate and be sure that it is the "bread from
heaven" that you are receiving into your soul and spirit?
Remember - if you partake of the "bread from heaven," you will never
die spiritually.
On the other hand, if you feed your soul on the "bread from hell," you
are already dying on the Vine(John 15:1-5).
"I am the living bread Which came down from heaven: if any man eat of
this bread, he shall live for ever..." (John 6:51).
May God Bless His Word.

Wise Words

Don't be afraid to admit when you know you are wrong. It's not a sign of weakness, but show character and responsibility. Others will respect you for that. Always do the right things, even when everyone does as they please with No consideration for the feelings of others. Never compromise your values and beliefs, even if it means risking ridicule and rejection. Be true to yourself. Live your own life and don't allow others to deside what is best for you. If you do, you will be unhappy because you're untrue to yourself. Refuse to run away from the things that scare you. Confront these situations and overcome your fears so that you may grow as a person. Don't compare yourself to others. - Unknown INSIGHTS FOR ONESELF: You are unique special human being that God has made you to be and He has a plans for our life, and hopes and His dreams with His unending love. His own thoughts are as the sands that are countless as those seashores. He will Never stop doing good for us, for We are his treasured possessions and His desires are that we would be established unto Him in all of our hearts, down to the depths of ones soul as He shows us all of great and very marvelous things unto one's own life. This is all because of His everlasting love... Because of His Name is Jesus Christ that alway's offers us than any earthly father or mother could every bring or do for us in one's own life time, which last for all eternity. He so does gives so much desires for His children that He lavish His own deep love for us so simply because we are His children and to share this last word with all of the readers to know that we are not ever a mistake unto the Lord for all of our days have been numered and have been written down in His book. He had determined the exact time of everyone's being conceived and that right time of one's birth. For He had chosen all of us as His own planned creations. For Our God delights in us all and does give those desires of one's own heart.He's able to do more than any of us could ever possibly inimagine. When we are so broken that's when he draws so close to us in our lives.As a Shepard carries One lamb He does the same for us ever so close to His own heart. One day He will be wipping every tear drops from our eyes. He is everyones Father, and He loves just as much as His own Son, Jesus Christ. For His Son Jesus Christ is always the exact representation of His Father, for in and through Him God's own love is always revealed unto us. For God just don't count any one of our sins for God brought His ( Only ) Son to take all of our sins that He (Himself) demonstrated before us all on that cross of calvery. By the way reconconciled it for us in being free at last. After all, He gave up that love so that (Only ) could gain our unto Him. If we could recieve Him than He will recieve us unto Him. Nothing absolutely Nothing will take us away from Him. And by the way... When You do.... He and everyone else in Heaven will be throwing the biggest party for You as the Honored guest. All He's waiting for... Is for us to join Him. Don't take to long for We don't know when that party will end nor the hour. He's waiting on You !
THE ONION

I was an old onion before Christ set me free
Layers upon layers of iniquity.
An ugly old onion whose fragrance was strong
That my Jesus bought and loved all along.
Unknown to me what He was going to do
Of what He was planning, I had not a clue
Pulling each layer off one by one.
In order to make me more like Jesus the Son
The first layer wasn't so bad
I saw all the sins that I knew I had
They wer easy to fix, just change the way I talk
And learn more of how He wanted me to walk.
Reading His Word, and learning again;
How to put aside my life of sin.
But the next layer was pulled which hurt more
He was getting closer to the core.
Unknown what He would find there.
I simply gave it to Him in prayer.
As another layer was removed, He started to cry
Pulling this layer brought pain to my Father on high.
And I was crying over the sadness I felt
The brokeness and all of the guilt
Past memories that I thought were gone
They were buried under layers disguised in a fragrant
so strong.
As onions peel more and more;
And they put tears in our eyes as we get close to the core
So my Father wept over my pain;
Giving me a balm of comfort and strength to sustain.
"NO MORE LAYERS." I would scream.
So he continued to peel them off me.
"I'll have nothing left my Lord, what will I do?
I'll be nothing but a worthless core to you."
But He just said "Trust me," and continued to peel
I was sure He was blinded to my pain that was so real
Year after year I shrunk more and more and more
Until all that was left of this onion was a core.
It was then that I begun to understand
As the Lord embraced me in His loving hand
He said, now and only now can you be;
The creation that will minister before me.
Clothed with the righteousness only from above
Gone are your layers of self so you can be filled with my love.
He took my layers of sin, hurt and pain;
And clothed me with love, truth and mercy in His Name.
Yes, we are all onions, learning with each day
How to overcome as each layer is taken away
Some layers tear and pull at our heart;
While others grieve us to our innermost part.
But we are nothing but an ugly onion wihtout Christ
Layers upon layers of pride, sin and strife
Only God can take those layers away. If you know Him -
You are clothed with His righteousness, and have strength -
to live each day.

Prayer

Self- Perception

We develop our sense of self- perception by noticing how the important people in our life sees us. If we grew up in a dysfuctional family, their skewed view of us probably warped our ability to see ourself as we truly are in God's eyes. Understanding how God sees us and the value he has placed on us overcome the negative self- perception that many of us have developed. King David was amazed as us he thought about how much God vlued him. He said," What mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us? For You made us a little lower than God and you crowned us with glory and honor. You put us in charge over everything you made giving u authority over all things. ( Psalms 8:4-6). "How precious are your thoughts about me, O God ! They are innumerable! I can't count them; they out number the grains in the sand!And when I wake up in the morning, You are still with me! ( Psalms 139:17,18). God demonstrated how precious we are in his sight by sending Jesus Christ to give us his life for us. God wants us to realize how precious we are to him and to see ourself in the light of his love. Consider this: If God consider us worthy of giving up the very most precious thing he had (His only SON), what does that say about how valuable we are to him? ______________________________________________________________ Many of our problems are rooted and grounded in our low self- esteem. Perhaps we were never listened to as children. Or maybe we were abused by people whom had authority over us. Whatever those roots are of one's own problems, we are now probably overly sensitive to the attacks of others. We see here that God has truly made us fantastic being with great honor and authority. We should never sell ourselves short. Self- esteem should be based on what God thinks about us - not on what others say about us. ______________________________________________________________

Jesus as the Rose of Sharon

"I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." (Solomon 2:1)
Here are some basic facts about this verse and how it may be related to Jesus being considered the Rose of Sharon.
- Nowhere in the New Testament is Jesus actually referred to as the rose of Sharon. However, He is symbolically referred to as the rose of Sharon by many.
- You are right about Sharon being a place. Sharon is a plain - it is one of the largest valley-plains in all of Palestine. Back at the time of Solomon, it was considered a wild, fertile plain that had many beautiful flowers in it. Sharon was supposed to have been known for its beauty and majesty back in those days.
- The person saying she is the "rose of Sharon" in the above verse was a Shulamite woman who apparently was Solomon's bride.
- Here is the reason that I think people like to use this analogy of Jesus being the Rose of Sharon. The New Testament refers to Jesus as being the Bridegroom and the Church as His Bride. This tells us right here that God is using the "lover" analogy to describe the personal relationship that He wants us to have with His Son.
However, in the above verse, the person saying she is the rose of Sharon is a woman, not a man. Jesus is obviously referred to as "male" since He is always referred to as "He" in the Bible. The rose is considered the most "perfect" of all flowers.
You will notice that Jesus is symbolically referred to as the rose of Sharon. Jesus is totally perfect in His nature and personality. He thus can be considered the actual rose of Sharon since He is totally perfect within His own nature - just like the rose is supposed to be considered the most perfect of all flowers.
Normally in a husband-wife or boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it is the male who gives roses to the wife or girlfriend. Since Jesus is considered the Bridegroom in His personal relationship with His church, it would thus be Jesus coming to us to give us the flowers. However, in this case, God may be going one step further in allowing this analogy to be made of His Son.
I believe God may be trying to tell us that Jesus will go one step further. Instead of Jesus being the One who would give us the flowers as we have in our normal human relationships, Jesus is actually referred to as the flower itself! And with the rose being the most perfect of all flowers, God is telling us that His Son Jesus is the Rose of Sharon rather than just having Him be the One to just give us this rose flower due to His perfect nature and perfect love that He has for all of us.
Women love flowers. They love the way they look and smell - especially roses. I feel God wants us to have realization of how special His Son Jesus is to us, and He is using the rose flower to compare His Son with so we can truly appreciate the beauty and perfection of Jesus and the perfect love that He has for each and every one of us.
Bottom line - Jesus is perfect love just as the rose is the most perfect of all flowers in its looks, beauty and smell.
By using the rose flower as a visual symbolism of Jesus' love for us, we can better see and appreciate what God is trying to tell us in the personal love relationship that He wants to establish with each and every one of us. He wants all of us to realize how special His love is for us and that He wants more than anything else to be able to enter into this personal love relationship with each one of us.
The above is my own personal opinion on what this analogy is referring to. I've always had a good witness that God the Father does approve of us using the Rose of Sharon to symbolize His Son's perfect love for us even though it is not actually stated per se in Scripture.
