John 14:1-3
Trust in God, but Trust also in Jesus
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
Matthew 9:9-13
Jesus Came for Sinners
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
John 17:3
Now this is Eternal Life
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
When Jesus came to dwell among us He did not erase all of our sins, our faults, our troubles, our sicknesses, and our daily problems...Instead He brought a belief in God and the Words and the Voice of God...He brought us the hope of God and heaven...And He tells us that He will prepare a place in heaven for sinners...What Great Joy that only God and His Son can believe these Heavenly Thoughts, that while we sin we can have an eternal life in heaven with Them, if we believe in Them...Because eternal life is that we know God as the One true God, and that Jesus Christ, was the One that He sent to help and save us...
So in the midst of all His Teachings He brought us this Great LOVE for us, with a mercy, and forgiveness of sinners that will last an eternity...So let us trust in God and trust also in Him...
