Jesus Took Our Punishment
Jesus Willingly Took Our Punishment
Our family watched a
little boy named Jackson; we watched him from six months to almost four years old.
My daughter was hired as his babysitter, but we all spent time with him.
I only spanked
Jackson one time the entire time we watched him. He kicked me in the shin and boy did it hurt. There was another time Jackson did something
I don’t even remember what it was. I
decided to teach him something and I asked my husband to help me. I asked my husband to let me spank him to teach
Jackson about Jesus. My husband did as I
requested and he willingly let me spank him. I want to make it very clear that I never hurt
Pastor George. We did the same thing when our girls were little. Pastor George and I worked as a team to teach
Jackson that Jesus took our punishment for us.
Jackson did something worthy of a spanking, we told him he should be spanked. We put on a little skit for Jackson. We explained to him, “Pastor George is going
to willingly take your punishment today, you did something wrong, but he’s
getting spanked for it.” Pastor George even
pretended to cry.
I did spank Pastor
George but it was not hard enough to hurt him.
See, Jesus took our place of punishment for us. He didn’t have to die for us, He willingly
laid down his life for us. God loved us
so much that He sent his only Son Jesus, to take our place. We didn’t deserve forgiveness;
Jesus didn’t deserve our punishment. What
Jesus did for us was not pretend, it was real.
He was crucified upon
a cross and shed his blood for our sins.
Jesus took our place. He provided a way for forgiveness; He
provided the way of Salvation.
He provided a way for us to become adopted into God's family.
He provided the way
to heaven.

Jesus In Our Heart - A Guide # 2
Jesus In Our Heart
Baptism is a picture of what happens to you when you become
saved. We without Christ are dead in our
sins. Separated from God. Once a person believes in the Lord Jesus
Christ. Something happens. They become alive to God because Jesus Christ
through the Holy Spirit comes into their heart.
When we are baptized, we are emersed under the water, buried
in the likeness of Christ, and arising to new life in Christ Jesus. It is a testimony and an example, to all,
that we have been saved and have become born to God as his dear child. We were dead to God, but now, made alive unto
God.
This is exactly what happens when we become born again. By
faith, our sins are washed away. The
blood of Christ shed for us was applied upon the acceptance of Christ Jesus
into our life. We spiritually are risen into
a new life and beginning. We have been
adopted into the family of God.
The Holy Spirit is Jesus in our hearts but is called the Comforter
in scripture. The comforter is with us
and in us. Jesus in our hearts. We can pray and Jesus helps our feeble prayers,
He speaks for us with perfect prayers even when we don’t know how to say what
needs to be asked. When you worship God,
you can feel his presence with you. He
is there for you to help you through life’s troubles.
All acceptable good works are through Christ alone. Our righteousness is as filthy rags to God.
Isaiah 64:6 ¶ But we are all as an unclean thing, and all
our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.
Good works of any kind are excepted by people. They are commended and looked up to. People normally reward people for doing good
things. Many are known for their
wonderful gift of charity. However, God
does not accept our goodness as righteousness but as filthy rags. That is why the crown we receive in heaven
will be laid at the feet of Christ. Christ
within us and his working through us is the only righteousness accepted by
God. Not of good that I have done, but
only what Christ has done through us.
That only happens if we accept Christ and the shedding of his blood for
our sins.
The Holy Spirit does not testify of himself, He testifies of
Jesus. This is why we pray in the name
of Jesus Christ and do all things in Jesus Christ’s name.
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all
in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians 3:23 And
whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
God offers the gift of salvation to whoever wants it.
John 3:15 -17 That whosoever believeth in him should not
perish but have eternal life.
For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Jesus Talks
about the Comforter
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
John 14:26 But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 ¶ But when
the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:7 ¶
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for
if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will
send him unto you.
John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye
abide in me.

Some lesson afterthoughts...
Jesus was baptized at thirty years old, as our example. Not one baby was baptized by emersion or sprinkling in the bible. Each person should understand what they are doing. Baptism is the first step of obedience as a Christian.

The Little Candle Said
The Little Candle Said
The candle
said in the wind.
I’m just
a tiny light, a light so small.
I’m not
sure if anyone;
Could
see to get around with me at all.
If I were a star up in the night sky.
To those who are lost in sin.
Shining for Jesus as the time goes by.
I would
shine upon the day.
Our trembling
Savior drew his last breath.
The lightning
flashed ‘cross the sky;
The
elements grieved at our Savior’s death.
Jesus was
dead, with bowed head.
He had
no life, no thought, and no heartbeat.
Screams
were heard in the darkness.
The
earth shook and opened beneath their feet.
The
candle said to the sky.
I’m just
a tiny light, a light so small.
I’m not
sure if anyone;
Could
see to get around with me at all.
I would
be a guiding light.
If I
were a star up in the night sky.
To those
who are lost in sin.
Shining for
Jesus as the time goes by.
I would
shine upon the day.
The
angel rolled the stone from the tomb’s door.
To see
that it was empty.
Now in
Christ, there is life forevermore.
In the presence
of angels.
Mary and others, their joy could be heard.
Jesus
arose from the dead.
They ran
to tell the others the good word.
Many miracles
happened.
Many
Saints arose from the open graves.
The
unbelieving believed.
They
were saved on that day, thank God, Jesus saves.
The
candle said to the land.
I’m just
a tiny light, a light so small.
I’m not
sure if anyone;
Could
see to get around with me at all.
I would
be a guiding light.
If I
were a star up in the night sky.
To those
who are lost in sin.
Shining for
Jesus as the time goes by.
Where I
am needed, I’ll be.
I would
give light in a place without light.
Not me,
but Jesus they’ll see.
For his
light is the light that will shine through me.
Then the
little candle sang.
“This
light of mine, I’m going shine for you.
Jesus’ help
me give more light.
Help me,
help others always see you.

The little candle
was shining all along.
I changed the song to say Mary and others. The bible does not say Martha was there. I'm not going to change the audio. If you would like for me to change it, let me know and I will change it.
Luke 24:10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. (Martha could have been there)
Matthew 28:1-19
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Will You Love Him?

Happy Birthday to You
Christmas is the season;
We celebrate a birth.
The birthday of the Kings of kings.
The day God came to earth.
Jesus is the reason;
We ring the bells and sing.
We worship him, adore and love.
We praise him, honoring.
Happy birthday to
you.
We are thankful, so
thankful, so thankful for you.
On this Christmas
morn.
We are thankful you
were born.
Christmas is the birthday;
The Christ child we recall.
We wish him a happy birthday.
He gave his life for all.
Upon a starry night.
Upon a midnight clear.
One glistening star shined so bright.
And there were angels there.
Mary and Joseph prayed.
They held Jesus with love.
With thankful hearts of joyfulness.
God Son came from above.
Happy birthday Jesus;
Happy birthday to you.
We are thankful, so thankful, so thankful for you.
On this Christmas morn.
We are thankful you were born.
Happy Birthday, Too You.
Happy Birthday to you.

When God Gave Me Jesus
When God gave me Jesus;

Chorus: *
When God gave me Jesus;
He gave me a forever friend.
One who loves me through good or bad.
Happy or mad, Joyful or sad.
When God gave me Jesus;
A true friend to the end, lose or win.
I can always trust him through thick or thin.
Jesus is the friend of all friends.
When God Gave Me Jesus.
Christmas was more than packages and lights.
When God gave me Jesus.
I still struggled within my heart at times.
He helps me each day
God works with us as an artist with clay. *
Chorus: *
When God gave me Jesus;
He gave me a forever friend.
One who loves me through good or bad.

I can always trust him through thick or thin.
Jesus is the friend of all friends.
When God gave me Jesus.
He gave me a friend who will stay with me.
And he loves me unconditionally.
He gave me someone who will help me grow;
Makes me strong when I'm weak.
He gives me wisdom when I need to know.*
