But
Blessed Are Your Eyes,
Because
They See; And Your Ears,
Because
They Hear.
Scripture
Matthew
13
17 I tell
you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what
you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you
hear, but they didn’t hear it.
Observation
Maybe
you haven't thought about this before, but if you know Jesus Christ
as your personal Lord and Savior, you are blessed and highly favored!
Others have heard about the claims of Christ and have rejected Him,
but just think how fortunate you are because you said, YES, to Him!
Salvation
is a free gift. God paid a high price for our salvation – the death
of His Son, but it is offered as a free gift to us.
It
is not something that we can earn by being good. If you are trying to
be good enough to be saved, then my friend, you are never going to
make it into Heaven.
I
am a sinner. I don't deserve the relationship that I have with God
through Jesus Christ, but I am so glad that I have it. I am so glad
that when I heard about Jesus many years ago I accepted Him as my
Lord and Savior. Matthew 13, lets us know that many will hear and
will reject the message, but all of us who hear the Message and
accept Him are blessed!
“Blessed
are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because you hear.”
Application
I
am blessed and highly favored!
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I am reminded as I read Matthew 13 that I am so blessed. I
realize that no one comes to You unless You draw them. You are the
One who saves. It has nothing to do with us. None of us deserve
salvation. None of us are good enough on our own. I don't know why
but You saved me. I am so very grateful. Why me? I will never know,
but I am thankful. I am blessed beyond measure!
I
pray for the person reading this blog who still hasn't made up his or
her mind about Jesus. I pray that You open up their hearts. Help them
to believe!
