><>...JESUS the CHRIST...><> & The Kingdom Of God Apparently, Jesus ministered for a short time in southern and central Palestine, while John the Baptist was still preaching <John 3:22--4:42>. But the main phase of Jesus' ministry began in Galilee after John's imprisonment by Herod Antipas. This was the signal, according to <Mark 1:14-15>, for Jesus to proclaim God's Good News in Galilee: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." What is the character of this kingdom? How was it to be established? (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary)

><>...Jesus Christ's Proclamation of the Kingdom...><> Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom of God was accompanied by works of mercy and power, including the healing of the sick, particularly those who were demon-possessed. These works also proclaimed the arrival of the kingdom of God. The demons that caused such distress to men and women were signs of the kingdom of Satan. When they were cast out, this proved the superior strength of the kingdom of God. (from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary)

><>...Avoiding Rash Judgment...><> TURN your attention upon yourself and beware of judging the deeds of other men, for in judging others a man labors vainly, often makes mistakes, and easily sins; whereas, in judging and taking stock of himself he does something that is always profitable. We frequently judge that things are as we wish them to be, for through personal feeling true perspective is easily lost. If God were the sole object of our desire, we should not be disturbed so easily by opposition to our opinions. But often something lurks within or happens from without to draw us along with it. Many, unawares, seek themselves in the things they do. They seem even to enjoy peace of mind when things happen according to their wish and liking, but if otherwise than they desire, they are soon disturbed and saddened. Differences of feeling and opinion often divide friends and acquaintances, even those who are religious and devout. An old habit is hard to break, and no one is willing to be led farther than he can see. If you rely more upon your intelligence or industry than upon the virtue of submission to Jesus Christ, you will hardly, and in any case slowly, become an enlightened man. God wants us to be completely subject to Him and, through ardent love, to rise above all human wisdom. Thomas A. Kempis

><>...O LORD I will praise you with all my heart...><> Ps.9 1O Lord, I will praise you with all my heart and tell everyone about the marvelous things you do. 2I will be glad, yes, filled with joy because of you. I will sing your praises, O Lord God above all gods. 3My enemies will fall back and perish in your presence; 4you have vindicated me; you have endorsed my work, declaring from your throne that it is good. 5You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked, blotting out their names forever and ever. 6O enemies of mine, you are doomed forever. The Lord will destroy your cities; even the memory of them will disappear. 7-8But the Lord lives on forever; he sits upon his throne to judge justly the nations of the world. 9All who are oppressed may come to him. He is a refuge for them in their times of trouble. 10All those who know your mercy, Lord, will count on you for help. For you have never yet forsaken those who trust in you. 11Oh, sing out your praises to the God who lives in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. 12He who avenges murder has an open ear to those who cry to him for justice. He does not ignore the prayers of men in trouble when they call to him for help. 13And now, O Lord, have mercy on me; see how I suffer at the hands of those who hate me. Lord, snatch me back from the jaws of death. 14Save me, so that I can praise you publicly before all the people at Jerusalem's gates and rejoice that you have rescued me. 15The nations fall into the pitfalls they have dug for others; the trap they set has snapped on them. 16The Lord is famous for the way he punishes the wicked in their own snares! 17The wicked shall be sent away to hell; this is the fate of all the nations forgetting the Lord. 18For the needs of the needy shall not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor shall not always be crushed. 19O Lord, arise and judge and punish the nations; don't let them defy you! 20Make them tremble in fear; put the nations in their place until at last they know they are but puny men. Thank you Father for your word

For You shall judge the people righteously, And govern the nations on earth. Selah 5 Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. 6 Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us. 7 God shall bless us, And all the ends of the earth shall fear Him. Thank you Father for your most blessed Word
