December 27, 2010 The Big Trip 3-2

On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise Him, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before he had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord") and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord; a pair of doves or two young pigeons.

Good Tuesday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. Let's start today by saying PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD. Mae Rambo is home from the hospital, with NO heart damage, also Eleanor Saylor should be coming home from the hospital today. Please keep praying for these two ladies. Also pray for safe passage for Dan and Bob Saylor as they return to this area and then Dan must turn around and head back to his home in Ohio. Last night I had a wonderful dinner and a nice talk with Brian and LeaAnne who I am marrying at one second past Midnight on that very first day of 2011. What a great couple, please pray for them as they start life together as one. Our other prayers on Tuesday are for God to cure cancer, and other health problems so they never again hurt anyone. As we pray for those with cancer, please pray for Ron, and also Kathleen. Also pray for the family of Mark. Mark, who was 49, died suddenly on Christmas Evening leaving behind his wife and daughter.

The Big Trip 3-2: Luke 2:21 - On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise Him, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before he had been conceived. 22 When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord") 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord; a pair of doves or two young pigeons. (NIV)

As you can see by the scriptures, Joseph and Mary took Jesus and returned on the eight day to Jerusalem, to the earthly home of Jesus. We also see that Jesus received His name officially when He went to be circumcised, which according to the Law of Moses was for purification. A sacrifice of a lamb was to be made unto the Lord, but if the family did not have the money then two doves or two pigeons would be acceptable.

Tomorrow we are going to look at the Magi coming to visit Baby Jesus and the gifts they brought to our Christ Child. Then later this week we will take a look at the great escape to Egypt and then the return back to Nazareth. After that we will find a gap in the life of Jesus.

Dear Father in Heaven, we praise You this day and give You all honor and glory for the results of tests with Mae, and now we ask that You rest her. Again we give thanks for the blessings we receive each day from our Lord, we give all the thanks and honor and glory to You, dear Lord. I ask today, Lord, that You will bless Brian and LeaAnne and their big day coming forth and then You would bless this couple who love You dearly, Lord. Please keep touching Ron, Kathleen, Eleanor, Mae, and also please, Lord, touch Pastors Tony and Charles. Praise God for all who helped with our food drive this year. What a great year... Lord, as You fed thousands with a small amount of food and also had leftovers, likewise You did the same for the Food Pantry that we operate for You. Thank You Jesus for all you do... in the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Now go forth, and yes, share those blessings. God blesses each of us each and every day, and we need to keep sharing what He blesses us with. And someone said AMEN! Love ya, Pastor Dan.
