Podcasts about his messiah

The religious leaders of Jesus' day knew Isaiah 42 and Isaiah 49 like the back of their hands. God had inspired the prophet to write about His Messiah as the "Light of the World." So when they heard Jesus say, "I AM the Light of the World," they understood exactly what He was claiming. He was the Messiah. It shook their world with an earthquake of resentment and anger. But it is good news for every believer!

From Luke 24:13-35. In this passage, we see that, truly Jesus was raised from the dead and truly, Jesus is alive! Truly, this death and burial and resurrection always was the plan of God for His Messiah.

Thursday, 24 April 2025   But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. Matthew 9:25   “And when He ejected the crowd, having entered, He seized her hand, and the damsel, she arose” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told those mourning the death of the damsel that she was not dead but only sleeping. In response, they derided Him. Matthew next says, “And when He ejected the crowd.”   Mark's gospel adds the following –   He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying. 41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” Mark 5:40, 41   Therefore, there were seven people in the room at the time of the raising. These were Jesus, Peter, James, John, the two parents, and the damsel. Once these were free of the commotion of the mourners, it next says, “having entered, He seized her hand.”   This is a new word, krateó, to seize. It is derived from kratos, which signifies power, might, dominion, strength, etc. T herefore, this is an act where strength is employed. He didn't just touch her hand, but He grasped as if to pull her into an awakened state. Such an act would cause a person under the law to be defiled –   “Whoever in the open field touches one who is slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.” Number 19:16   In such a state, a rite of cleansing was to be performed according to the next verses of Numbers –   “And for an unclean person they shall take some of the ashes of the heifer burnt for purification from sin, and running water shall be put on them in a vessel. 18 A clean person shall take hyssop and dip it in the water, sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the persons who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, the slain, the dead, or a grave. 19 The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean.” Numbers 19:17-19   However, Jesus had just said to those gathered that she had not died but was sleeping. Because of this, as a person might awaken another, He seized her by the hand to rouse her. Having done so, it next says, “and the damsel, she arose.”   It is not uncommon for scholars to use the word “resurrect” here. This is incorrect. This was a restoration of life to the body, not a resurrection. Paul says that Christ is the Firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. His resurrection was a unique occurrence based on a sinless life. It is a complete conquering of death.   Those who were raised, both in the Old Testament and the New eventually died again. Their restoration of life was granted by God to serve His purposes, but they remained stained with sin. Only after Christ's work was complete could the permanency of a resurrection be applied to others. And that will only occur, as Paul says, “at His coming” (1 Corinthians 15:23).   As for this damsel, her restoration was temporary until whatever time she had lived her life and died. But Jesus has shown that He possessed power over the state of death. In His resurrection, He has demonstrated that it is permanent. We are being incrementally shown what God is doing in His marvelous work through His Messiah.   Life application: We must be careful about what we believe concerning dead people being raised. There are those who have died on the operating table but who have been brought back. Their physical body is worked on, and if done quickly enough, the life can return.   However, there is a point where it is no longer possible to bring a person back. The brain quickly begins to break down. After a short amount of time, if a person is brought back, there will be permanent brain damage. There are exceptions, such as being in a very cold environment. But even then, other things quickly break down.   So, stories of people being raised who had been dead for extended periods of time or who had already been embalmed (as mentioned some years ago by “Evangelist” Reinhard Bonnke on the 700 Club) are to be rejected outright.   Further, people who have died and claimed to have gone to heaven or hell are not to be listened to. If someone went to heaven, that means he bypassed the judgment seat of Christ, which all believers must face.   As hell, meaning the Lake of Fire, is something that will not be meted out until the end of days (as recorded in Revelation 20), then we can be absolutely positive that no person has yet gone to hell. It is appointed for man to die, face the judgment, and that is that. If you are tempted to buy the book, don't. You are wasting your money as well as time that you could spend reading your Bible.   Such things are sensational, and they often enrich those telling these tales, but they have no basis in biblical reality. Stick with the Bible. It is sensational enough, and it is the truth of God because it is His word.   Lord God, help us to have our thinking caps on. Keep us from being duped by people who want to get rich by spreading falsities about heaven, hell, or powers on earth that are not true. There is no need to listen to such nonsense. May we focus on Jesus, who possesses all power and authority in heaven and on earth. Amen.

We appreciate from the Gospel today the imagery of a wedding feast that Jesus employs to illustrate why there was a certain difference in behavior between the Pharisees and Jesus' disciples. The matter was about fasting. The Jews fasted periodically, while Jesus' disciples did not fast. Jesus uses the wedding feast as the justification for His disciples' not fasting. Can they fast when the bridegroom is with them? Then, He introduces a detail one would not normally expect. Bridegrooms are not taken away. They leave the feast with their wives. But Jesus claims that the groom is taken away. When that takes place, the disciples will fast. Our blessed Lord uses an imagery used in the Old Testament, where a wedding feast is used to describe the Messiah having come to be with His people. He is Emmanuel. The people of God and His Messiah are united in a wedding feast, so to speak. But then the groom will be taken away. This alludes to His being captured and made to undergo His Passion and Death on the Cross.

4. Messiah's Encouragement Isaiah 51:9 - 52:12 Please do read Isaiah 51:9 to 52:12 Be Encouraged People of God! In the first few verses of Isaiah 51, we see that faith is nurtured by listening and hearing. People are encouraged to look back and see what God has done with just one man, Abraham! How from him came an entire nation! This bodes well for the future when all history is consummated - have faith in your God who will lead you into the next world! But for now, don't be afraid of what other people will do - stay close to God, have faith in Him, trust Him patiently and live obedient and righteous lives. For as verse 6 states "my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished." Then we come to a mounting anticipation with baited breath. Quickly the phrase "awake awake" is repeated, as if to give a sense of urgency. The exodus from Egypt, an event remembered well by the nation of Israel and alluded to in verses 9 & 10 of chapter 51, will be surpassed by a new age of righteousness at the end of time. All those "ransomed by the Lord", those set free by God will enter the city of God with joyous singing which will be their crown! Sorrow and sadness will no longer exist! Gladness and joy will be triumphant! Alleluia! Despite many obstacles in the way, the Lord God will reign triumphant. His Messiah, His Servant will deliver you. His Servant will be triumphant. Wake up! Note that the people themselves are to wake up, not the Lord God or His Servant! All that will be fulfilled is not waiting for God, but waiting for people and their spiritual inertia! It's their unwillingness to be obedient to God that is stopping the fulfillment of history! While Isaiah is clearly eager, it seems the nation of Israel is not - they have forgotten about their awesome and Almighty God who created the heavens and the earth! So Isaiah shouts out "Wake up!!" I am your God and you are my people is to remind Israel of the covenant that exists between themselves and God! It is a covenant that signifies relationship, care and commitment! Israel may have forgotten this, but God had not! God is in the relationship, He is trustworthy and faithful, so therefore there is no need to fear! God's commitment is faultless and worthy of obedience! This commitment deserves active obedience on the part of the people of Israel and not their overwhelming spiritual laziness. While overwhelming fear inhibits and destructs, the love of God frees. Isaiah urges them to live an active and obedient life worthy of their freedom and not a life of spiritual inertia and rebellion. One last time, Isaiah urges action when crying "Awake! Awake!" in 52:1. Salvation is nearing and coming quickly, are you ready? Be alert, people of Israel and live as if you are the freed people of God and not as if you are rebellious captors. Be ready, just as your ancestors were the night before the Exodus from Egypt commenced. Be expectant and ready. One difference to note. With the exodus, the Israelites took what they could from the Egyptians - gold, silver, jewelry and clothing. This time, everything will be left behind. All this bears in the mind the Servant. The Servant, who as a King dispenses justice and as a Prophet speaks for God, will usher in this new period. When Isaiah writes in 52:11 "Depart, depart, go out from there", he must be urging people to respond to the Servant. Respond by living a holy and righteous life of obedience to God as one who is on a lifelong pilgrimage. Stop rebelling against Him and love Him who first loved them. Where is Jesus in this? Jesus during his earthly ministry always urged people to be active in obedience to God. Jesus comforted the lonely, oppressed, the weak and the poor. He urged people to come back into relationship with God. With a sense of urgency, He told people to be ready and alert for the day when history will end. Jesus urged his listeners to be spiritually awake. Jesus said in Matthew 11:30 "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Jesus who remarkably stated in John 8:34-36 "Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." When Jesus Christ the Servant King comes back, He will come back like a thief in the night - with surprise! But for those who love and trust in Him, it will be a day of gladness and joy because their King will have returned to gather them. This Jesus who in Mark1:15 issued these words ""The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" Truly we concur with Isaiah when he wrote in Isaiah 52:7 "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"" Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, through whom is salvation alone. Right mouse click or tap here to save this Podcast as a MP3.

Welcome to episode 177 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Ephesians, covering chapter 3:1-13.  Today, we will cover: The Revelation of the Mystery to Paul (3:1–7) The Nature of Paul's Stewardship of the Mystery (3:8–12) Paul's Concern for the Readers (3:13)  Key takeaways: There is a divine plan, and Paul has been selected to be an administrator of it.  At the center of this plan is God's intent to create a special household of people who actually form a home that He indwells—a corporate body of both Jews and Greeks, whom He has redeemed with his own blood. There was no generation among God's people who could have anticipated the full extent of what God would accomplish through His Messiah. At the heart of the mystery God has revealed is the fact that Gentiles now share equally with Jews in the blessings of the new covenant life with God.   Christ has broken down that wall, making one new people out of two previously divided people. So now both Jew and Gentile approach God equally on that new basis. The revelation of God's wisdom to the powers in the heavenly places happens through the church. The Church is not an option for believers, nor is supporting it an option.  Quotable: God is in control and is sovereignly and powerfully fulfilling His plan of redemption just as He intended it from the beginning.  Application: Because of His kindness, love, and mercy coupled with the reconciliation that has taken place by the blood of Jesus Christ, believers can experience a closeness to God. As part of this relationship, God's people need feel no restraint in approaching God in prayer or worship. They can pray at any time with no fear of being turned away because of ritual impurity or some form of unworthiness. Because of what Christ has accomplished, they can approach God with full confidence The Church exists as a multiracial and multicultural community. No ethnicity is disadvantaged in the body of Christ. No one, whatever that person's background might be, is barred from membership and participation in this new community.   Connect with us: Web site:  https://springbaptist.org Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus) Need us to pray for you?  Submit your prayer request to https://springbaptist.org/prayer/  If you haven't already done so, please leave us a rating and review in your podcast provider.
