More Powerful

John also told the people “someone more powerfulis going to come, and I am not good enough even to stoop down and untie his sandals. I baptise you with water, but He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit!”  

New Life

This is the good news about Jesus Christ,the Son of the God, It began just as God had said in the book written by Isaiah the prophet,

I’m sending my messenger to get the way ready for you.

In the desert someone is shouting, get the road ready for the Lord ! make a straight path for Him.

So John the baptist showed up in the desert and told everyone, “Turn back to God and be baptised! Then your sins will be forgiven.”

Messiah tells His disciples

The Scriptures say that the Messiah must suffer, then three days later He will rise from death, They also say that all people of every nation must be told in my name to turn to God, in order to be forgiven. So beginning in Jerusalem, you must tell everyone everything that has happened. 

Woman

Jesus left and went to the territory near the cities of Tyre and Sidon. Suddenly a canaanite woman from there came out shouting. “Lord and Son of David, have pity on me! My dougther is full of demons.” Jesus did not say a word. But the woman kept following along and shouting, so His disciples came up and asked him to send her away. Jesus said,”I was sent only to the people of Israel, they are like a flock of lost sheep.”

The woman came closer. Then she knelt down and begged, ”please help me Lord.”

Jesus replied, “it is not right to take food away from children and feed it to dogs.”

Lord, that is true, “the woman said, “but even dogs get the crumbs that fall from their owner’s table.”

Jesus answered, “dear woman you reallydo have a lot of faith, and you willbe given what you want.” At that moment her daughter was healed.

GOD

This God made the world and everything in it. He is the Lord of heaven and earth and He does not live in temples built by human hands. He does not need help from anyone. He give life, breath, and everything else to all people. From one person God made all nations who lives on earth, and He decided when and where every nation would be.  

Faith in the Lord

We never give up. Our bodies are gradually dying, but we ourselves are being made stronger each day.  These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing. Thing that are seen do not last for ever, but things that are not  seen are eternal. That is why we keep our minds on  the things that can be seen. Our bodies are like tents that we live  in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. These homes wont’t be buildings that someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last for ever.  

Treasure

God has been kind enough to trust us with this work. That’s why we never give up. We do not do shameful things  that must be kept secret. And we do not try to fool anyone or twist God message around. God is our witness that we speak only the truth, so others will be sure that we can be trusted. If there is anything hidden about our message, it is hidden only to someone who is lost.
