Woman Who Wanted Water Found Jesus

December 8th 2011 05:18


Woman Who Wanted Water Found Jesus

John, one of Jesus’ apostles, wrote about the woman that Jesus asked for water from her. She has no name in the Gospel of John. Whoever she was isn’t so important since Jesus asked her and other followers to help Him.

She was from Samaria, making her disrespectful to Jews. Still, Jesus approached her for a drink of water. He, Who made water in the first place, asked her for a drink. It was His way of approaching her, just as He approaches many of our needs today. He always finds a way to make His evidence known.

When he asked the woman for water, it made her begin to talk. She mentioned the Jews hated her people, the places to worship, and her own way of living. She approached Jesus with her own needs if finding Him.

Her husband was one of the major topics since she had no real husband. He knew about her without her telling Him, just as He knows about each of us today. She evidently did not want to talk to Him about her own needs. She told him about where to worship to worship God. All of these enabled Jesus to tell her that He was the One Whom all seek.

After talking to Jesus, the woman decided to tell others about Him. Just as He talks to us, he asks us to make the decision to come to Him.

I am glad that He asked me to come to Him. Aren’t you in agreement that He is asking you, also, to become one of His disciples?

The woman is nameless but her response is the proper response to Jesus, the Lover of Our Souls. He loved the nameless person but gave her a name that He knows and loves, just as He loves you and me.

Big Little Man

August 13th 2011 07:52
Big Little Man

A couple of Hebrew boys were watching in the town of Jerico, where Jesus was working with the people. There were crowds of people so it was hard to see everything.

They noticed as a short-statured man hurried up to s sycamore tree and began to climb into the tree. It was clear hat he intended to see Jesus as he climbed up to see him better.

The two boys watched. One of them spoke up. “I think that is Zacceus, the tax collector. M dad really doesn't seem to like him.”

The other boys replied. “My parents always make me take the expensive gifts to hide while they entertain him. They don't like him to see the everything we have.”

The other boy asserted. “Why they chose someone so short in stature. Look at him. He's about as short as that old grandma in the crowd.”\

|”My dad says it is because he is a friend of Herod. That got him the job.”

|Maybe so!” added the other boy. “Herod's friends always get the good jobs.”

The short man in the tree was noticed by Jesus. Jesus told Zacceus,”Let's hurry up from your tree and get ready for I plan to spend the day at your house.” If Zacceus and had great joy to get ready for Jesus and received Him joyfully.

Many people said that Jesus was not right because he was going to be going to a sinner's home.

Zacceus had a few things to say at the time. “Lord, I am giving half of my goods to the poor people around me.” Even if I have taken things fom which I have not installed by my house, I will restore the price four times.”

Jesus had something to say to the Zaccus and the other people around him.”This man has salvation today.. He is one whom I came to save.”

The little man with such a bog job was very happy to see and hear Jesus.

Those two boys had big stories to tell their parents, that Jesus loves everyone. No matter who people are. IF they find Jesus, they have found all that matters.

This story is about Elizabeth Schooley, a former member of the Friends Church in Keystone, Indiana, USA. I met her after I was converted at the Friends Church on March 8, 1959. That was and still is my birthday spiritually.

Can a Gay Man Enter Heaven?

July 1st 2010 05:31
This is a hard article to write. Consider how to tell a gay man, who has all the elements of a loving Christian, that he cannot get into what many other men are striving for? It is much easier to tell a crippled youngster that the crippling illness are only temporary. That is easier. To tell a dying old man that Jesus still can save him. That is easier than to tell a dearly beloved saint that he cannot inherit Heaven. Tell the crippled missionary that he made a mistake and accidently shot his own friend. The missionary will agree that Jesus knows of our mistakes and will kindly honor our missionary service. But, to tell the man who is gay that he has no chance of getting to Heaven, no matter what. Still, I want to help the gay man or woman in their lifetime goal of inheriting Heaven.

The Object of Circumcision—Some simple thoughts

June 22nd 2010 11:24

This is not in approval or disapproval of circumcision. I have two sons. One was circumcised, the other is not. Whether you value circumcision or not, there is one thought which I suspect many of you have not considered. When to circumcise the lad!

Phylacteries (Something worn to make people think you are religious)

June 22nd 2010 06:11

In Matthew 23.5, one can find the word phylacteries. It is used with another outstanding word which helps us to understand the context. The idea is to wear clothing which make people think highly of us along spiritual lines.

Thanks, guys. Another horse lover, and he knows more than I remembered to put on. I had forgotten about fillies. Keep watching the blog. Even better, add some more horse material for me.

Thanks for reading my blog. It appears that you are into trivia, too.

I am not aware of the bird you mentioned. What is its name?

A little pleasure can do so much to relieve one's stress levels. Yes, it seems like a lot of expense in such an atmosphere. However, I suspect that the Disney company can afford a medium sized park to reward the citizens of this misused country for their misery.

Hopefully, the entrance fee will be such that the needy people can afford to go it. If only the wealth can afford it, why bother?

Let's read the original blog entry, People! Snakes or reptiles, Artarctica, continent....

Thanks for commenting. If you consider that birds are descendants of dinosaurs, you would be right. Penguins are birds, maybe with dinosaurs as ancestors, in that case, you win & I lose.

Your comments are all in fun, I think, and I appreciate them.

Hi there. I am, in a sense, a competitor of yours but not actually competing. I am trying to get more people to read my material.

I have been looking at your site for some time and feel that I see a mature (or at least a maturing) Christian writing here. I appreciate your point of view usually.

Keep up the good work.

If you buy into that story, he did.

However, the question was which continent has no snakes or reptiles.

Thank you for reading my blog. I really do appreciate it a lot.

That dew claw is a regular trait of this breed of dog. They are a good dog for kids as they are friendly and even tempered. Thanks for your comment.
