November 15, 2023- Morning Bible Reading and Meditation- Matthew 17 KJV
For Mithcah Bible Baptist Church Bahrain Morning Devotional Bible Study - Thursday, November 16, 2023
“4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”
Words to ponder: Hear Ye HIM
This was being spoken by GOD The Father on the transfiguration of JESUS The CHRIST on that mountain; that time He took with Him Peter, James and John his brother; (I may say: His beloved adopted brother) for the LORD did not have a physical brother named John.
Hear ye Him.. all of you hear Him; was what GOD spoken; intended for the first three apostles of The LORD; who then lately took the upper hand in the teaching and leading of the church which The LORD is about to build in Jerusalem first; to whom they also have taught and preached: HEAR Ye HIM!
In this generation, a few more and all the bible prophecies will be fulfilled. Every prophecies of the scriptures starting from the writings of Moses, the major and minor prophets pointed to JESUS as the CHRIST: the Messiah that already have came. His teachings, His miraculous deeds and performed healings testified itself. And there are more to have been proven after this transfiguration.
JESUS CHRIST: He is the Messiah that His people, even the whole world has been waiting. He plainly said it again and again, and His very works testified and confirmed about His being.
GOD the Father have spoken from heaven, and many heard Him; because it was written. HEAR ye Him!
The Apostles heard and believed when He said Elias did already came. v.10-13
The demon hearken and was afraid of Him; left the lunatic which was sore vexed, being possessed by the devil, after JESUS rebuked him. v.14-18
The disciples heard from JESUS and learned from His words that it is through faith with fasting that they will be able to cast out demons from whoever shall be possessed by them. v. 19-21
The Disciples heard again from JESUS when He repeatedly told them that He: the Son of man shall be betrayed and be delivered unto men to be killed; but on the third day He will rose again. v.22,23
The LORD told Peter, when asked about if He pay tax, to go fishing and the coin that he will find on his catch, he pay for Him and his tax, so as not to offend them. v24-27
Hear ye HIM.
This is GOD’s instruction for us to ponder.
The words that The LORD has spoken, we must take heed and obey.
For He knows all things, and nothing is hid from Him.
Hear ye Him:
for He alone is able to deliver us, from the punishment of sin.
Hear ye Him.
We must take His words seriously all the best we can.
For it is only JESUS CHRIST whose love is everlasting.
All the sorrows and struggles we have, He bore it on His shoulder;
And all of our iniquities were crucified on that cross with Him there.
Hear Ye Him!
For His grace and His love for us never fails.
Good morning.
Matthew 17KJV
1And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Whycould not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
