Sunday Message
"BLESSED ARE THE FORGIVEN"
Psalm 32:1-11
A Psalm of David: How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered! How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit! (Psa 32:1-2 NAS95)
OPENING PRAYER
Mighty Creator, Eternal Author of Life, we gather with humility in Your presence on this Holy day; to learn, to grow, and to savor the compelling aroma of being Blessed by answering Your call. The fragrance of being forgiven is very intoxicating, O' Lord. Thank You for this great blessing through Your only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ, AMEN
MESSAGE
Do you ever have "one of those days" when a melody gets snagged in your brain and you cannot get rid of it? How about a certain word that is spelled the same in more than one meaning? Well, that was the "burr under my saddle blanket" this past week.
In the case of the word L-E-A-D, it could be lead, or it might be lead, both are spelled the same. "Billy Bob took the LEAD and LEAD the group as he carried the LEAD out of the swamp".
How about the word B-A-S-S? "Oh I love to fish for BASS. The problem comes when someone comes near with a big boom Box and has the BASS turned up shaking the ground ...then I catch NO BASS !!. Our Bible has a few of these same spelled words.
KING David opens Psalm 32 with a verse exclaiming; "How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered!"
QUESTION: That word: B-L-E-S-S-E-D; IS IT BLESSED OR IS IT Blessed?
Lets try this:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Mat 5:3 NAS95)
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. (Rev 1:3 NAS95)
The Greek word for both of these verses is "makar" meaning fortunate, well off, happy, blessed.
Now, in Ephesians we find; BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
(Eph 1:3 NAS95) In Ephesians the Greek word is different; "Eu lo-getos"= Adorable, BLESSED.
Why is all of this important to know? Because only GOD, the TRINITY is BLESSED. It is HE who ordains each of us to be blessed! For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. (Isa 64:6 NAS95)
The Apostle Paul writes: "For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not." (Rom 7:18 NAS95) OH How forgiving our Creator is when we confess our misdeeds, our wrongs, and through repentance, turning away from the bad behavior, HE FORGIVES US! WHY??
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (Gal 3:27 NAS95) Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him. (Col 3:9-10 NAS95)
You are HIS children, HE is YOUR Father! A father will chastise, and follow with forgiveness. He will not forsake You!
Do you remember the story of the prodigal son? "But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet; and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate. (Luk 15:22-24 NAS95) WHAT A BLESSING THIS WAS!!
More than that, I [PAUL] count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law,... but that which is through faith in Christ,... the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. (Php 3:8-9 NAS95)
It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he *said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" And he *said to me, [John], "These are true words of God." (Rev 19:8-9 NAS95)
Who is the HER in the verse above? THE CHURCH! That is US!
SUMMARY
I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise To spring up before all the nations. (Isa 61:10-11 NAS95)
LASTLY: He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, "Remove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes." (Zec 3:4 NAS95)
AND THEN, BLESSED JESUS BLESSED US WITH THE GIFT OF "FORGIVENESS"
CLOSING PRAYER
Father, Lord Jesus, our hearts are filled to the brim with thanksgiving that You have literally filled us with Your Holy Spirit. Not only the Spirit, You have and continue to forgive our errors, past and present, and especially show us love as only our Creator can do. Praise You, Praise Your Holy Name in Jesus the Christ, AMEN.
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, Ye heav'n-ly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
THE CALL
If you have never invited Jesus to be your Lord and savior, or, if you have in the past yet remain unsure of salvation and forgiveness of sin, Please pray with me now: Lord Jesus I need to fill a hole in my life that follows me where ever I go. I am a long-time Sinner and I CONFESS and REPENT of all my sins. I believe that You JESUS are the Lord, that you were hung on a cross and died. I believe that you were raised back to life by God, Your Father, ascended into heaven and presently sit at the right hand of The Almighty. Please come into me, clean me, take me and make me Yours and let me serve from this day forward and forever, Thank-You Jesus, AMEN
If you sincerely prayed with me, your salvation has been assured. {Rom 10:9 KJV} -That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Waste no time in finding like minded folks, to fellowship with, who also know the lord Jesus. Be introduced to a church that preaches the BIBLE. Email me. Begin the journey that you will never tire of; the discovery of the Majesty, Beauty and loving Power of Jesus the Christ. Welcome to the family!
