CHRIST ETERNAL SENIOR MINISTRIES
THE "WORD"
JULY 25/26, 2026
Sabbath Meditations
Welcome to this week's Parasha "Va'etchanan" (And I Pleaded)
Deuteromony 3:23-7:11, Isaiah 40:1-26, John 10:1-42
And I besought the LORD at that time, saying, O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might? (Deu 3:23-24 tlv)
SUNDAY, THE LORD'S DAY
IT IS FINISHED (John 19:30 nkjv)
GREETINGS: Welcome Beloved. By the very Grace of GOD, we gather this day, around the globe, to WORSHIP The CREATOR. Imagine, the very author of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE has purposely built this glorious plan, allowing us to be CITIZENS ETERNAL in HIS KINGDOM to come. PRAISE HIS HALLOWED NAME!
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.(Rom 1:16-17 kjv)
CALL TO WORSHIP: History records testimony from man of visions of his life passing in review just before the last breath on earth is taken. Holy Scripture may well guide us during such a short review envisioned by Jesus, our LORD and SAVIOR, in His last moments on that horrid cross.
PROLOGUE : (Joh 19:30 nkjv) So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. Since Jesus was fully SPIRIT and fully FLESH, a curious and reverent mind might wonder if our Lord saw, in his mind, certain visions of His earthly life past as many fully fleshly beings have for hundreds of years claimed their loved ones might have experienced. If He did or did not, the event can never be validated nor confirmed. Just a curiosity.
OPENING PRAYER: O' Mighty Father of all Creation, thank You for gathering us together from around the globe to receive Your "WORD". Open our minds, souls, and hearts as we read together reflections from the Cross, a reverential review of the Lord's brief time amongst us on this planet. Permit this Holy inquiry to edify His supreme deity as our Lord and Savior, our KING of KINGS Eternal, THE ALL MIGHTY, AMEN
THE "WORD": With Great reverence let us consider the following; One believer's impression of what Jesus might have envisioned in the precious moments having drawn His last earthly breath and before the resurrection;
Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves. After His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. (Mat 27:51-53 nkjv)
For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." (1Co 11:23-24 nkjv)
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. (Joh 13:12-14 kjv)
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. (Joh 11:39 kjv) And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. (Joh 11:43 kjv)
Now there was a large herd of swine feeding nearby on the mountain. The demons implored Him, saying, "Send us into the swine so that we may enter them." Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea. (Mar 5:11-13 nasb)
As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him. And He did not let him, but He *said to him, "Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you." (Mar 5:18-19 nasb)
When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have been anxiously looking for You." And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?" But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them. And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
(Luk 2:48-52 nasb)
SUMMARY: Perhaps one day, in the Kingdom of God in the New Jerusalem we might have the opportunity to ask the Lord to comment on the most tender and wondrous moments in His 33 years, teaching us directly, flesh to flesh on a celestial level.
CLOSING PRAYER: Almighty God, thank-You for this global assembly. These precious eyes reading and then sharing the "WORD" of our Master, our CREATOR, our GOD with hungry souls no matter the tongue, country, or land. Your blessings endure for ever and ever, and we are forever grateful, O' Lord Jesus, AMEN
