Jeremiah 50:6 “My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains. From mountain to hill they have gone. They have forgotten their fold.”

I would like this offering to be for those who hate being told they are lost.

People do not understand that they have been led astray and they are no longer with the God that created them. Who did that varies because of the agendas of those who want to control you, your thoughts, and your behaviors.

You will look around and see others that will tell you that you are one of them. You are not alone. That is true of any prisoner. Prisoner for this purpose is to be defined as being kept from being safe in the arms of a loving God.

Isaiah 64:5 You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?

Sin is what has separated us from our loving God.

Matthew 1:21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

Do not say “I am not Jewish” as an excuse.

John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

No one likes to have their sins called out in public. Politics has even gone so far as to make sin legal. This is not a civil matter, it is about the poisoning of the soul.

John 3:19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

If these words offend you, look around and ask yourself the most important question anyone can ask; “Where am I, and how did I get here?”

Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

One God is a universal concept. They are in one agreement, perfect harmony. Those concepts are easily understood.

What defines each one of the three?

Is it fair to the other two to say the Father was the creator? When they existed in the eternal realm before anything was created, they were in agreement together. In the Gospel of John the Word was God and became flesh and nothing was created without Him, so Jesus is singled out as a vital part of creation.

In His earthly ministry Jesus declared He was only doing the will of the Father and without the Father’s will nothing was done. Where was the Holy Spirit in that? Since they were One in agreement always, the Father wills, the Son obeys but what was the Holy Spirit’s part in all that?

In the midst of will and obedience there is an unseen force that executed the will of the Father by the obedience of the Son. None of that was done without the Holy Spirit’s co-operation.

The Holy Spirit is the unseen force just as Jesus describes the 3rd part of the Trinity to Nicodemus, the wind, the breath of God.

For our part in all this we like to think we have some role to play but what is that role if the Father’s will is paramount, the Son’s obedience is essential and the Holy Spirit is the executor of His will.

Are we the stage upon which this play is enacted?

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.” W. Shakespere

The idea is not a novel concept. God’s will writes the script to follow, Act 1 Scene 1 and the curtain opens.
