Hello everyone,
First off, please note the new email account nancy_bass@verizon.net
Isaiah 53 says lots of wonderful things about what Jesus did for us, and one thing He did not do, for us. He did not open His mouth. Acts 22 tells about a riot against Paul, and the roman soldiers got ready to beat him. He opened his mouth. He knew his rights as a roman citizen. He insisted on them. And the soldiers backed off quick! If you were not a citizen, you were nobody. You could buy a citizenship, you could earn it through some military feat, or you could be born of a citizen.
This is in the bible. Why? To show us how to act. (hallelujah! I know where we’re going!) we are citizens of the only kingdom that will matter through time and eternity. Our names are written down in a book. If you are not in this kingdom, you really are nobody. But while we are here on earth we have rights! Jesus didn’t open His mouth so we can open ours. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
I love you all.
healed by His stripes,
Nancy Bass
