The Gang of Three

"Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves." (Matthew 17: 1)

The gang of three, Peter, James and John are representatives of the Church who became witnesses to the Transfiguration of the Christ. Jesus Christ strengthened their faith through this experience.

Lord Jesus, open our eyes to see your glory and give us the grace to bear witness to it in our lives.

Morning Star

"So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds." (2 Peter 1: 19)

What is the evidence that the word of God in scripture is true?

The Church as the Body of Christ is the visible sign and confirmation of the words of scripture. The Church is what scriptures foretold it would be:

  • Universal
  • Historic
  • Relevant
  • Invincible

Trust the word of God.

All honor and kingship belongs to Christ

"On him was conferred rule, honor and kingship, and all peoples, nations and languages became his servants." (Daniel 7: 14)

The "Him" is Jesus Christ to whom all honor, power and majesty belongs. I want to publish this truth with all my time, talent and treasure.

Lead me, guide me and use me, dear Lord Jesus Christ.

My King and my Boss

"But you,'he said,' who do you, say I am?" (Matthew 16: 13: 15)

You are Jesus Christ:

  • My Lord and my God
  • My Savior and my Redeemer
  • My King and my Boss
  • My Friend and my Companion

Lord Jesus, that I may know you more, love you more and serve you more. Amen

Meribah

"These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites laid blame on Yahweh and where by their means, he asserted his holiness." (Numbers 20: 13)

In the desert, the Israelites were stretched to the breaking point at the Waters of Meribah. They failed the test and murmured against God. Every crisis is a test of faith. Where do you go first for help? Whom do you trust? Are you prepared to wait for God for deliverance?

Meribah is the type of all testing grounds. Where is your desert or Meribah?

The geography is the theology.
