EVENING SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR

My
Worship Time Focus: Intro to PT-5 “The Popularity and Power of Jesus”
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference:
Luke 6:17-19
Message of the verses: “Jesus
came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of
His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and
the costal region of Tyer and Sidon, who had come to hear Him and to be healed of
their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were begin
cured. And all the people were trying to
touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.”
I want to begin where I left off in this morning’s SD
as I continue to quote from John MacArthur’s commentary as he introduces these
verses in his introduction.
“His rule
will encompass both an earthly millennial kingdom and an eternal kingdom of
righteousness and salvation, and embrace Israel (Isa. 65:17-19; Zeph. 3:11-20),
as well as the rest of humanity (cf. Dan. 7:14, 27; Zech. 14:16-21).”
(Isa. 65:17-19; Zeph. 3:11-20)
“17 ¶ "For behold, I create new heavens and a
new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in
that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy, and her people
to be a gladness. 19 I will rejoice in
Jerusalem and be glad in my people; no more shall be heard in it the sound of
weeping and the cry of distress.”
“11 "On that day you shall not be put to
shame because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me; for then I
will remove from your midst your proudly exultant ones, and you shall no longer
be haughty in my holy mountain. 12 But I
will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in
the name of the LORD, 13 those who are
left in Israel; they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there
be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down,
and none shall make them afraid."
14 ¶ Sing aloud, O daughter of
Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of
Jerusalem! 15 The LORD has taken away
the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of
Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil. 16 On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
"Fear not, O Zion; let not your hands grow weak. 17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty
one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by
his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. 18 I will gather those of you who mourn for the
festival, so that you will no longer suffer reproach. 19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all your
oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change
their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. 20 At that time I will bring you in, at the time
when I gather you together; for I will make you renowned and praised among all
the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,"
says the LORD.”
(cf. Dan. 7:14, 27; Zech. 14:16-21)
“14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a
kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his
dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom
one that shall not be destroyed.”
“27 And the kingdom and the dominion and the
greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people
of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him.’’
“16 ¶ Then everyone who survives of all the nations
that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the
King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths. 17 And if any of the families of the earth do
not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no
rain on them. 18 And if the family of
Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no
rain; there shall be the plague with which the LORD afflicts the nations that
do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. 19
This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the
nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths. 20 And on that day there shall be inscribed on
the bells of the horses, "Holy to the LORD." And the pots in the
house of the LORD shall be as the bowls before the altar. 21 And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be
holy to the LORD of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them
and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And there shall no longer be a
trader in the house of the LORD of hosts on that day.”
“In the New Testament the Gospels
record Jesus’ virgin birth, perfectly righteous life, sacrificial and
substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, and ascension to the Father’s right
hand. Acts records the spread of the
good news of salvation in Christ and its impact on the world. The New Testament epistles explain the
meaning and significance of the Savior’s life, death, and resurrection. Revelation, the consummation of history,
describes His return to judge the ungodly, reward the righteous, rule the earth
for a thousand years, and then create the eternal new heaven and new earth.”
I really thought that I would be
able to finish this introduction this evening, but because of the volume of
verses that I am looking up it will have to wait until my morning SD in order
to finish it. I really believe that in
this introduction, in order to set the stage of what we will be looking at in
this chapter it was best to get our feet firmly planted on the ground in order
to understand what we will be looking at.
