The Life Of Jesus
April 6, 2017
"
There has never been a man like the Lord Jesus. How holy, how pure, how sinless is the Lord Jesus Christ.
John Phillips wrote some words about Jesus that deeply stirred me. He said,
“His life was perfectly holy. He never looked with lust. He never uttered a hasty, unkind, untrue or frivolous word. He never entertained an impure thought. He was never accused by conscience. Never inflamed by wrongful passion. Never out of step with the will of God. His time was never wasted. His talents never debased for selfish ends. His influence, never bad. His judgment, never wrong. He never had to apologize for anything He did or retract a single word He said. He was never too late or too soon, never upset, never insipid, never shallow or afraid. From the summit of the Mount of Transfiguration He could have stepped straight into glory. He had absolute victory from the moment He drew his first breath in that Bethlehem barn until the moment He closed His eyes in death on the cross of Calvary.”
If you’re looking for a hero, let me suggest mine to you. If you don’t have one, His name is Jesus.
Revelation 19:16 says, "And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
