Several Verses

1. Thanks For The Delivery Of The Promised . . Savior.

Isa 53:5-6 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone

astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. NKJV

The Amplified Bible for this verse reads

Matt 1:20-23 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." NKJV

Illustration Messiah, False:

Dr. Charles Fineberg, a noted Jewish-Christian scholar, says that in the course of Israel's history since the time of our Lord, sixty-four different individuals have appeared claiming to be the Messiah.

Jesus is the only one who can fulfill the prophecies

2. Thanks For The Delivery Of The Promised . . Salvation To Whosoever.

Jn 3:15-19 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. NKJV

Rom 10:13 For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." NKJV

As of Friday I am 71. We have people in their 80s who know they are part of the whoever.

We have people in their tens who know they are part of the whoever.

How about you? Do you want to be part of the WHOEVER Jesus promised to save?

Illustration God INDEX: 4100 SUBTOPIC: Search for TITLE: How to Find God

An ancient tale from India tells about a young man who was seeking God. He went to a wise old sage for help. "How can I find God?" he asked the old man. The old man took him to a nearby river. Out they waded soon the water was up just under their chins. Suddenly the old man seized the young man by the neck and pushed him under the water. He held the young man down until the young man was flailing. Another minute and he may well have drowned. Up out of the water the two of them came. The young man was coughing water from his lungs and still gasping for air. Reaching the bank he asked the man indignantly, "What did that have to do with my finding God?"

The old man asked him quietly, "While you were under the water, what did you want more than anything else?" The young man thought for a minute and then answered, "I wanted air. I wanted air more than anything else?" The old man replied, "When you want God as much as

you wanted air, you will find him.
