As we are entering into the season of Christmas 2012 let us meditate some of the prophecies concerning the Birth and life of Jesus from the Bible.

God Provided Israelites with Manna to satisfy their Hunger. All the people have amazed to see the food which came from the above. Manna satisfied the hunger of people. Jesus is the living bread who satisfies the hunger of spiritual life.

What is Manna?

Manna (Hebrew: מָ‏ן) or al-Mann we al-Salwa (Arabic: المَنّ و السلوى‎, Kurdish: gezo, Persian: گزانگبین‎), sometimes or archaically spelled mana, is an edible substance that, according to Abrahamic doctrine, God provided for the Israelites during their travels in the desert according to the Bible and the Qur'an.

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free"(John 8:32).

The truth will set you free

Jesus said that if we Believe the truth, then the truth will make us free. This is an amazing statement and one that we should bring to our remembrance again and again. In John chapter 17 verse 17 Jesus tells us exactly what the truth is. He said, my word is truth. The words of Scripture, both the old and the new Testament, are truth. And it is believing the truth that we find on the pages of the Bible, really taking it into our heart and making it a part of who we are as a person, that makes us free.

Of course this freedom includes the fundamental freedom from seeing through 

WHERE IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

The Pharisees knew of the many Old Testament prophecies and scriptures describing God’s

Thy Kingdom Come!

kingdom.

The Pharisees ignored the scriptures about Christ’s First Coming because they wanted to focus almost entirely on the many scriptures describing His Second Coming!

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!

Born Again to see Kingdom of God

What is the “gospel of Jesus Christ”? Is this a different, second gospel? No! But most modern preachers teach that the gospel of Jesus Christ is about Jesus Christ. They claim that He is the kingdom of God—that the gospel of the kingdom refers exclusively to Him. But this is not what the Bible says! The gospel of Christ is His gospel—His message about the kingdom of God!

UNIVERSAL PURUSHA

Jesus the Guru

UNIVERSAL PURUSHA:
Bruhat Aranyaka Upanishad says, “Vagyo vai Brahma”, the word is Brahma (Creator). Brahmavindu Upanishad says,”Shabdo vai Brahma”, the voice is Brahma and “Shabdaksharam Param Brahma”, the voice and word became absolute God. TheYazur Veda 32:45,46 says, Poorvam Purusham Jatam, which means in the beginning Purusha was there. The Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God and the Word was made flesh (Pursha).

THE PURUSHA !

People searching for Purusha

VEDIC PURUSHA:

Vedas begin with the worship of gods of nature, namely;

1) The terrestrial gods- Prithvi (earth), Agni (fire), Bruhaspati and Soma (plants).
2) The atmospheric gods- Indra, Rudra, Maruts, Vayu and Parjanya (storm, thunder and rain).
3) The celestial gods- Dyaus (heaven), Varuna, Ushas & Asvins (twilight morning stars) and Surya, Mitra, Savitri, Ka, Vishnu (all associated with the sun).

THE TEMPTATION !

Devil in the form of snake in Eden

THE SEED- PART 2

We are having war with powers and principalities, the devil knew what he was doing, he had a plan how to destroy the humanity, he came up once and also planted something in Adam which live in work and progress[more powerful than a nuclear Bomb] without his intruding. It’s neither God tempts us.

IS LOVE IS BLIND?

Is love is blind ?

Love is Blind Revisited-Part 1

• One day, madness and love decided to play hide and seek.
• Madness decided to be the first to count, as he was counting, love can't decide where to hide....
• So at the last second, she threw herself at the rose bush.
madness searched but can't find love anywhere. 
• So in frustration, he thrust a spear into the rose bushes.

CARRY THE CROSS TO CONQUER THE CROWN!

Pain is part and parcel of life! How about suffering?

Human experience is not an exclusive of painless life and suffering. Especially when it comes to the life of a believer it is no exception. People are so often perplexed concerning the Christian suffering and the general suffering in the world. A natural man can endure pain but cannot endure suffering. Suffering in other hand is a gift for a spiritual Christian.Only a matured Christian can be willing to suffer it is impossible for a natural man to endure suffering as a Christian suffers. That’s what the spiritual Christian is spiritually blessed during the times of suffering. 

THE SHEEP GATE OF JERUSALEM!

The gates of Jerusalem

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it"( Matt 7:13-14).

"Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep" (John 10:7

The  effective gates of spiritual life of a believer!

In the Bible we see Nehemiah 3^rd chapter consists of the plan of the construction of  Jerusalem city walls and gates.The city exclusively consists of 10 gates which symbolizes the perfection of the  life of a christian believer 10 various experiences in his life time on earth.These gates are the portion of  10 ways that God allows his children to walk through effective christian living to glorify Christ on earth.

THE PERFECT PROTOCOL OF PRAYER !

In the Name of Jesus every knee should bow Phil 2:10

How important it is to kneel down and pray in the presence of God?
Does Bible have any divine protocol of prayer?

“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker” (Psalm 95:6).

 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24).


The Bible says God worshippers must worship in Spirit and in truth ( of God's word in the Bible).

AND GOD CALLED THE LIGHT (CHRISTMAS) DAY!

Jesus is the light of the day for world

KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:5 (KJV)

“And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”

After restoring earth from chaos, God told that there be light and there was light and God separated the light from darkness.

Here we see God started naming light as day and darkness as night.

Throughout the Bible we see God  called light as day. We see whole world today is under the night of Satan’s darkness. God sent Jesus Christ His son to this world as a light of the world so is the beginning of the day to the world since God’s creation.

CHRISTMAS -AND GOD SEPERATED THE LIGHT FROM DARKNESS!

King of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:4

Christmas is separation of light from darkness.

"And God separated the light from the darkness"

"vai·yav·del e·lo·him, bein ha·'o·vr u·vein ha·cho·shech" -(Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated).

God saw the light was good and not the darkness.Darkness  was not good and God separated the light from darkness.

When man believes in LORD Jesus Christ and the gospel of light, the next step will be separation from darkness to
light.People may try to compromise a little with darkness in our

Christmas- And God saw the light of Christ was good!

KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Gen 1:4 (KJV)

 And God saw that the light was good.

"And God saw the  light,that it  was good”

"vai·yar· e·lo·him et-ha·'o·vr ki-to·vv; vai·yav·del e·lo·him"-(Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex Transliterated).

 

God saw the light was good.Why the light was good and darkness was bad.The light was good because it was according to His planning even though darkness was not the plan of God. God turned the darkness to be a part of human history and started blessing people out of darkness. Light is said to be a radiant energy which makes the existence of life possible.Darkness cannot sustain plant,animal and even human race. The creation of light was a blessing from God.

There is now both light and darkness in the world.Which means both good and evil is existing in
