No Treatise

Jesus didn’t come to earth With a great treatise Instead He took a little child And humbly sat him on his knees ‘Unless you become Like such as these- My kingdom you won’t see! Those born of my spirit Are to be like the breeze Uncomplicated They simply- just believe Oh ye of little faith- Consider the lilies of the field How they grow- all beautiful And radiantly dressed They did not toil or spin- Yet Solomon in all his glory Was never so beautifully arrayed And in his wisdom He could only cry- ‘This is what I have found- Fear God – and keep His commandments- For this is the whole duty of man’ Jesus says- seek first God’s kingdom, and his righteousness; Then all these things shall be added unto you. Mathew 6:29 to 34 © Brenda V Northeast 21 Jan. 2012

How true Brenda, the 10 commandments are the law and he said they are not grievous to keep. Yet we break so many of them including the Sabbath which is Saturday not Sunday. I love the way you have pointed out the importance of theswe things.

I thank you for your comment Elizabeth-The law is the shadow of the Righteousness of Christ- If we are in Christ and walk after and in HIS spirit His righteousness will live in us- regarding days - he said- Man wasn't made for the sabbath. Sabbath or rest was made to show man a rest.The new testament did not and doesn't differentiate on days- it is the rest of God- we cease from our own works . Each person is to be persuaded in his or her own mind. It is more important to have a change of heart- because he said out of this flow all the issues of life and to receive it as a child in simplicity and truth. Love&blessings, bren
