JESUS,our VICTORIOUS SAVIOR, conquers the enemy the third time with the sword of the SPIRIT.

JESUS shows HIS VICTORY is in HIS FEAR of GOD. May we learn this as well.

JESUS passes Test #1

JESUS walked through the wilderness and conquered the enemy before HE ministered and healed people oppressed by the enemy.

JESUS’ Genealogy has some interesting repeats and characters:)

GOD created wisdom and allows us full access to wisdom if we will seek her.

John fulfills GOD’s Mission even with opposition.

Wisdom is of so much worth and is part of confidence in THE LORD

THE LORD’s Teaching and Discipline is worth special attention

GOD IS going to establish HIS KING, HIS SON, on Zion and “Blessed are all who take refuge in HIM.” (End of Psalm 2:12)

David and Haddie learn the steps to wisdom given in this chapter along with the consequences and importance of which paths we walk.

JESUS listens and asks good questions. Maybe we need to do the same with HIM?

Some of JESUS’s Names and Titles are mentioned and HIS Birth is given as a sign to Ahaz

Gen. 1, Ps.51, and GOD’s Great Work of Redemption and Order and the role of THE HOLY SPIRIT in that briefly studied

Gabriel is in one book in the Old Testament - Daniel

Luke shares with us the Story of Mary receiving the news of JESUS’S upcoming Birth

GOD has a plan and incense is a part all the way to Revelation

Korah and his crew get swallowed in the earth, 250 men suffer the same fate as Nadab and Abihu, and the people choose rebellion rather repentance and mourning, with Aaron holding the line between life and death with incense. GOD recommissioning the roles of everyone in Israel in some way to make sure there stays a way to worship HIM in Israel despite all of this.

Incense was very important to the first ceremony in The Tabernacle and all went with GOD’s Blessing until Nadab and Abihu added strange incense fire into the day.

The Altar of Incense was intense, as David and Haddie come to find out.

Sarah, Rebekah, the wife of Manoah, and Elizabeth all praised GOD for their promised sons.

Zechariah and Gabriel have a conversation that changes everything for Zechariah and Elizabeth.

GOD’s Miraculous Plan of Priesthood has not been stopped by time. From David to Zechariah GOD’s HAND can be seen keeping this remnant alive and serving.

Aaron and the Golden Calf - GOD’S Reaction and Moses’ reaction

Where did the Priesthood that Zechariah was a part of come from?

GOD had a plan and Esau was not part of it due to the selling of his birthright. Jacob received what normally would have been Esau’s due to Esau’s lack of value for his birthright.

The Promise was handed down by GOD’s Will to Jacob rather than Esau which sets up the contrast in Luke between The King of Judea as appointed by Rome and THE KING of the Jews WHO will reign as KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS

The way of those seeking unjust gain is a life of losing life.

We see the contrast of Herod and Zechariah and Elizabeth and how GOD is getting ready to work.

Luke begins his history of JESUS on earth to share with a friend “an orderly narrative “. May we share the story of JESUS in a way that others understand:)

Haddie prays that we all follow JESUS with the Psalmist.

Hallelujah!

JESUS shows HIS GREAT LOVE and HIS betrayer decides to make a bargain that will cost him his soul.

JESUS prepares HIS Disciples for the future- all of us who are HIS Disciples! Stay awake!

JESUS shows HIS Disciple an example of true GODly dedication and worship.

JESUS answers 3 and asks 1 question. So excellent:)
