"Bearing Record!" - Too

"For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek." (Hebrews 7:17 KJV)

  "When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me completely." (1 Corinthians 13:11-12 NLT)

 When we look into some of the Scriptures that point to Jesus, even those that seem hard to express to those that really don't want to except it, or don't want to see the connection, we must realize that there really isn't a connection, because they don't have God's Spirit within them. There is something very important about how that actually works, even if they might seemingly receive what is said, they will walk away and forget what they heard, making their heart harder in the process. 

 If you don't understand what I mean, then you should look at the Pharisees and Jewish leaders that heard what Jesus said; even though it was true and documented in the Scriptures they studied, they still did not get the connection, because they hated Him. Crazy as that might seem, look at the situation we have here in the United States, as we have a President that wants to make peace and correct all the wrongs in this Country; most of which are the things that are harmful to children and families, especially Christian families! Yet, they have nothing but hate for him, associating him to Hitler and saying that he just wants to rule everyone. 

 Enough of that! Because, in this world, no matter what might get corrected and made right, we all know that there will come a very challenging time ahead, especially for anyone that claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ! Understanding the times we are living in is something that is both mysterious and also easy to understand. We understand that the end is coming, but we don't know when it will happen!

 When this testimony below of Jesus was given, David had no real knowledge about when this would be fulfilled or exactly who it would be that he was writing about; but he did know enough to understand that it would be a Savior. Some of the Psalms which David wrote made very accurate prophesies about Jesus; and in this one, he is illustrating His crucifixion and agony on the cross; almost as if he was there and watching it all happen...

"My life is poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me. My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead. My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet. I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat. They divide my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing." (PSALM 22:14-18 NLT)
