Our God - Comforting

- September 10, 2021

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort" -the Apostle Paul, writing to the 1st church in the City of Corinth, 1st century 2 Corinthians 1:3 [This is the 5th message of this series ] Continuing in this series of lessons, we will learn that Our God is not only loving, slow to anger and compassionate, but He is also a caring, understanding, consoling, encouraging, protecting and uplifting God. God of All Comfort He is the God of all comfort -- caring for us during our times of need; equipping us with the confort for ourselves and to help care for others in their times of need. Jesus told His disciples that He will not leave them as orphans. We were already orphans before Christ found us, picked us up, cleaned us, mended us and put us back together -- making us children of the Most High God, the God of Creation, Maker of heaven and earth.

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
