Why Attend Church Its All About Jesus!

Foreword
Matthew 24:35 (Amplified) Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. We are living in a perilous world that is slowly passing away at an increasing rate. Global events have more than substantiated this. Hence, instead of dwelling on things that are passing away, I chose to promote those things that are sure and permanent. The period between my birthday and the day I return to Jesus is called the dash. I believe that dash represents the Book of Remembrance in heaven. We have a say what that dash will be. So, what will my dash or my Book of Remembrance contain? As I read the Bible, I am convinced that each and every beloved child of God has been commissioned to share the Gospel in His Word. Hence, the purpose behind what I am doing.

See Jesus Glory Unveiled

o me, attending church is to see the speaker unveil the glory of Jesus Christ. [2 Corinthians 3:18].

I simply love 2 Corinthians 3:18!


And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

As I behold the glory of Jesus Christ, the blessed Holy Spirit will transform me into His very own image! Wow! I can definitely live with that! What about you? I am looking for messages reminding me that I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I want to see what Jesus precious Blood has secured for me! I want to see what His Resurrection means to me!

I want to see Jesus in all His glory and perfection. See Jesus! See Jesus to believe!

Psalms 27:13 [KJV] I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

See Jesus as Our Faith


Jesus Christ Whom we do not see in the flesh but in the Word is, to our hope of all things, the [Hebrews 11:1]: 1. Confirmation; 2. Title deed; 3. Proof; and 4. Reality. For the longest time I have been under the impression that it is all about my faith. I need to have faith. But in truth, it is all about seeing Jesus as the confirmation, the title deed, the proof and reality of all the things that I am hoping for. It is all about Jesus! And none of me! And because it is Jesus Himself bringing to pass all that I am hoping for, I can therefore have the assurance and confidence. I thank the blessed Holy Spirit for this conviction.

I am not attending church to get saved or be blessed. I am already saved and blessed by the precious Blood of Jesus and His Resurrection! [Ephesians 2:5, Ephesians 2:8-9]. Matthew 6:33 says to seek of first importance His kingdom and His Righteousness and all the things I need shall be added to me. Jesus Christ is His Kingdom. [Colossians 1:13]. Jesus Christ is His Righteousness. [2 Corinthians 5:21]. Jesus Christ is His Word. [John 1:1]. To seek His Kingdom and His Righteousness is to seek Jesus. To seek Jesus is to seek the Word (the Bible). Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ. Jesus is The Author and Finisher of my faith.
12:2]. [Hebrews

He IS my Faith!

See Jesus As My ALL


Jesus says as my faith [i.e. Jesus, the Word] is to me, so be It to me! [Matthew 9:29].

Who is Jesus to me?


He is my Healer! He is my Provider! He is my Health! He is my Wealth! He is my Strength!

He is my All in all!
I attend church to hear the speaker expound the Bible to unveil the glory of Jesus Christ, my Righteousness of God!

Its A Privilege
dont have to attend church. I get to!

It is a privilege. To have a sense of this privilege, lets see what the Bible says.

Only the Aaron priesthood can enter Gods sanctuary.


Numbers 3:38 (Amplified) But those to encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the Tent of Meeting, toward the sunrise, were to be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the full charge of the rites of the sanctuary in whatever was required for the Israelites; and the [a]excluded [one not a descendant of Aaron and called of God] who came near [the sanctuary] was to be put to death.
Footnotes: a. Numbers 3:38 This ban against "the excluded" from coming near the sanctuary (the sacred tent, the tabernacle proper) is not to be construed as discrimination against people who were not Israelites. It included everyone except the ordained descendants of Levi of the house of Aaron. The tabernacle proper was made up of two small rooms which no one except the priest or priests who had the assignment was ever to enter. The congregation entered the outside enclosure only. This was true also of the later temples. Neither Jesus nor any of his disciples or Paul ever entered the sanctuary. When Jesus "taught in the temple" or "entered into the temple," the Greek word invariably indicates that He was in the temple enclosure (hieron) and not in the sanctuary (naos). (For more information, see Richard Trench, Synonyms of The New Testament). For a violation of this ban see II Chron. 26:16-21, which tells of King Uzziah, who attempted to enter the sanctuary to burn incense and while being forcibly put out by eighty priests became a leper--for the rest of his life.

And there were restrictions on the selected ones. What were the restrictions? One of them was damaged testicles! Read on.
Leviticus 21:16-24
16

And the Lord said to Moses,


17

Say to Aaron, Any one of your sons in their successive generations who has any blemish, let him not come near to offer the bread of his God. For no man who has a blemish shall approach [God's altar to serve as priest], a man blind or lame, or he who has a disfigured face or a limb too long,
19 18

Or who has a fractured foot or hand,

Or is a hunchback, or a dwarf, or has a defect in his eye, or has scurvy or itch, or scabs or skin trouble, or has damaged testicles. (I find this hilarious!) No man of the offspring of Aaron the priest who has a blemish and is disfigured or deformed shall come near [the altar] to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God. He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy and of the holy things, But he shall not come within the veil or come near the altar [of incense], because he has a blemish, that he may not desecrate and make unclean My sanctuaries and hallowed things; for I the Lord do sanctify them.
24 23 22 21

And Moses told it to Aaron and to his sons and to all the Israelites.

Today, even those with all the above defects get to attend church.

Going by the above verses, we can deduce that Aaron and his descendants were very good-looking and of perfect physiques. They had to be so to approach the Holy One. Can you then imagine the Holy One Himself, Jesus Christ? How handsome and a hunk of a man He must have been! I just so love to quote 2 Corinthians 3:18! As we behold His glory, the blessed Holy Spirit will transform us into His very same image!

Wow!
I just cant get over it!!!

Its Party Time

I

ts party time to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and our salvation on Resurrection Morn!

By His Resurrection, our salvation was secured. There is no condemnation should I miss church.
[Romans 8:1]

I only missed out on the fun the music and dancing!


Luke 15:24-25 Because this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found! And they began to revel and feast and make merry. But his older son was in the field; and as he returned and came near the house, he heard music and dancing.

Bring My Tithes

he Apostle Paul said we are to personally bring our tithes.

1 Corinthians 16:2 On the first [day] of each week, let each one of you [personally] put aside something and save it up as he has prospered [in proportion to what he is given], so that no collections will need to be taken after I come. Malachi 3:10 Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Bless the Lord


Attending church is but one of the many privileges and benefits of a believer.
Psalm 103: 1-5
1

BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits-Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's [strong, overcoming, soaring]!
5 4 3 2

Notice verse 5 says necessity and desire. To me, that means wants and needs. No wonder Abba Father says in Psalm 23:1 that The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not lack. Period!

For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law's demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] Hebrews 11:1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

Hebrews 12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Matthew 9:29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith and trust and reliance [on the power invested in Me] be it done to you. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Grace and Peace be with you!
