Would it not be better to know your destination in the coming days ,  where we are going and what will be the end of our journey.   If we believe the word of God and its finality than we must realize the end is approaching quickly . Ask the brothers and sisters of China and the middle east etc .  The world over people are practicing  evil celebrating their father with zeal .  Jesus said he is a liar and the father of lies .       And to the righteousness it is still a question in many peoples minds as to the authenticity of Gods word !  that same gospel that Jesus preached for the final three years of his life !   is the power of God to save .    Isaiah 61  The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;   to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;        Luk 4:18 ASV - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor: He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,        It was prophetic in Isaiah the type and the shadow of the Gods mercy coming to us who believe . And it is reality in Luke 4-18 .  Do you believe that ! do you respond to his words of truth with fear and trembling .  Jesus said his meat was to set you free from all bondage all darkness to give you eyes to see and ears to hear.   Jesus said the father anointed him to preach good tidings to the poor , Poor in spirit  .   Mercy   Greek: charis  Benefit, Benefactor:  "grace," is once rendered "benefit," 2Cr 1:15; it stresses the character of the "benefit," as the effect of the gracious disposition of the benefactor.    χάρις cháris, khar'-ece; from G5463; graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude):—acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace(- ious), joy, liberality, pleasure, thank(-s, -worthy).
Gods word says Eph 2:8 ASV - for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;     Faith  Greek: pistis  Belief, Believe, Believers:  "faith," is translated "belief" in Rom 10:17; 2Th 2:13. Its chief significance is a conviction respecting God and His Word and the believer's relationship to Him.
Jhn 1:16 ASV - For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.                                                                                                                                                               
Jhn 4:34 ASV - Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work Greek: broma   Meat:   "food" (akin to bibrosko, "to eat," Jhn 6:13), solid food in contrast to milk, is translated "food" in Mat 14:15, RV (AV, "victuals"); "meats," Mar 7:19; 1Cr 6:13 (twice); 1Ti 4:3; Hbr 9:10; 13:9; "meat," Jhn 4:34; Rom 14:15 (twice), 20; 1Cr 3:2; 8:8, 13; 10:3; "food," RV, for AV, "meat," Luk 3:11; 9:13.
Jesus said that we all will be judged by the very words he spoke in his ministry , every word  !                                   Jhn 12:45 ASV - And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me.
Jhn 12:46 ASV - I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
Jhn 12:47 ASV - And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Jhn 12:48 ASV - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.   Please hear this  and realize this word is alive and active sharper than any two edged sword  it will judge mankind in the end .
Jesus said his father sent him to the world with this gracious word of truth ,  this sword will come again in the last days to judge the world  .      Rev 2:16 ASV - Repent therefore; or else I come to thee quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Rev 19:15 ASV - And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.   Psalm 19 says that the fear of God is a clean fear God is not only a God of love but he is bringing his wrath to the workers of iniquity.   The plant call tares in the gospel in its growing looks just like wheat  almost identical , Matt 13:25-30                                        Greek: zizanion  Tares:   is a kind of darnel, the commonest of the four species, being the bearded, growing in the grain fields, as tall as wheat and barley, and resembling wheat in appearance. It was credited among the Jews with being degenerate wheat. The rabbis called it "bastard." The seeds are poisonous to man and herbivorous animals, producing sleepiness, nausea, convulsions and even death .
The problem with the church today ! they believe their religion over the word of truth .  Man's religion has perverted the grace of God ,  it has no power to save it is void of truth .    Jesus said because of the tradition s of your fathers you make of no effect the word of God.  Jesus said      beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.   All roads do not lead to the kingdom of God There is no other name where by we must be save than that of Jesus Christ . 
        Act 4:10 ASV - be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Act 4:11 ASV - He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.
Act 4:12 ASV - And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.    
Heb 2:1 ASV - Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away from them.
Heb 2:2 ASV - For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
Heb 2:3 ASV - how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;
Heb 2:4 ASV - God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.

Mat 24:3 ASV - And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?           And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?  This was the disciples asking him of the day we are about to witness , the coming of the Lord .

Mat 24:23 ASV - Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not.    And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God cometh, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:   It is Christ in you the hope of glory.   neither shall they say, Lo, here! or, There! for lo, the kingdom of God is within you.                                         Jhn 14:16 ASV - And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,    The same spirit that the one hundred and twenty received on the day of Pentecost .   Tarry in Jersalem until you be filled with power from on high , endued with power from on high .  Folks this is the comforter Jesus spoke about so often ,      Rom 8:9 ASV - But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Jhn 14:17 ASV - even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.    But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:    who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.   And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
