We must all face the specter of death within our lives. It begins by seeing the death of our loved ones, but ultimately it is something that we must face individually. Having Jesus as a brother means that we have someone who helps us do what no other can—overcome death. Hebrews 2:9 says, But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. He experienced death for everyone so that He would know what it is like to die, but more than this, so that He could show us that death can be conquered. Hebrews 2:14-15 states, Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.Because Jesus was sinless, death could not hold on to Him, and He came forth from the grave (Acts 2:24). Today, through Jesus, we can conquer death as well. Jesus says, I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death(Revelation 1:18), and He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death(Revelation 2:11). Only the best of brothers would die for us so that we could live for Him (2 Corinthians 5:15). God bless you, and I love you.

Jesus Our Brother (Part 3)

To have Jesus as our brother means that He was subjected to death. We

must all face the specter of death within our lives. It begins by seeing the death of

our loved ones, but ultimately it is something that we must face individually. Having

Jesus as a brother means that we have someone who helps us do what no other

can—overcome death. Hebrews 2:9 says, “But we see Jesus, who was made a little

lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that

He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” He experienced death for

everyone so that He would know what it is like to die, but more than this, so that He

could show us that death can be conquered. Hebrews 2:14-15 states, “Inasmuch

then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in

the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that

is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime

subject to bondage.” Because Jesus was sinless, death could not hold on to Him,

and He came forth from the grave (Acts 2:24). Today, through Jesus, we can

conquer death as well. Jesus says, “I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I

am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of

Death” (Revelation 1:18), and “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second

death” (Revelation 2:11). Only the best of brothers would die for us so that we could

live for Him (2 Corinthians 5:15).

God bless you, and I love you.

Russell and Suzette Tyndell, Billy and Peggy

Johnson, and Clara Inman all sent in cards

and notes to express their thanks for the

thoughtfulness and service and delicious food

at the Sweet Seniors Banquet about a week

and a half ago. Big thanks to the planners and

workers behind good works like this.

Giving Involves Our Time, Too

Not everyone has the same talent or amount of money to give, but we all have

the same amount of time, twenty-four hours each day. The part of that time that we

give to the service of the Lord and to others depends upon our love for the Lord, our

family responsibilities, our jobs, and our priorities. Thomas Edison once said that time

is the most important thing in the world. Benjamin Franklin said that time is the stuff of

which life is made.

Today is the time we have to give. Tomorrow may never be. The words of

Jesus are recorded by John. “I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is

day; the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4) Bulletin Digest Jan 2001

page 19 via Liberal, KS

The Truth About Jesus is Still Powerful

The truth about Jesus has not lost any of its power; it can make the same

changes in people today that it made in Saul of Tarsus almost 2,000 years ago.

However, for that to happen, those people have to hear the good news about Jesus.

But they won’t hear the good news about Jesus unless someone tells them. And even

then, something else is essential. They will have to react to that truth I the same way

that Saul of Tarsus reacted to it. They will have to accept it and obey it.

Let us never forget that there has to be someone who will tell them the truth

about Jesus. That is where you and I come into the picture, isn’t it? We have to tell

them. If we don’t, then who will? Since that is the case, we would do well to adopt

Paul’s philosophy of life, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). Has

Christ been as valuable to you as He was to Paul? Are you willing to share Him as

Paul did? Bulletin Digest Sept 2002 Ken’s Korner via The Voice, Drexel Blvd coc OKC.

How to Face the New Year

Face it with an open Bible.

Face it with confidence in Jesus Christ,

your Lord and Savior.

Face it resolved to stand by and with

the congregation of which you are a

part.

Face it with your heart right with God.

Face it with a resolution to reach out to

the lost.

Face it with a prayer that God will direct

your footsteps throughout the entire

year.
