 Greetings to you all in the name of our savior the Lord Jesus Christ,

     Hebrews 1:1-3 says,”God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,   Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” 

     Years ago Reader's Digest came out With what they called Cadets books it was a shortened version of the real thing.  Hey can this book is much like Cadets soup just add water and stir. I often thought that you can summarize the Bible into four words man's problem got solution. perhaps that is old and oversimplification but nevertheless it does relate the basic problem that man has and how God has solved that problem so all away from Genesis 3:15 to the book end of the book of Revelation we have a Promises of God as seated his word and we can stand fast on those promises. 

Our passage for today comes from the book of Hebrews chapter 1 verses 1 through 3. it is hard to come up with a favorite scripture as I seem to have many different passages that would fit the bill. I think of Acts 1631 where it speaks about the Philippian Jailer asking the most important question ever to fall and Silas what must I do to be safe Paul's answer was simply to believe or the Lord Jesus Christ. I could also think a first John chapter 5 verses 11 12 and 13 which speak about how a person is to have eternal life he that has the son has life and he that has nothing Son of God had not life. of course other scriptures come to mind such as John chapter 14 we're talking about the future dwelling place that we have in heaven where Christ is making a place for us that where he is there we shall be also. or one could go back into the Book of Ecclesiastes I have often mentioned the fact that Ecclesiastes was in my 10th grade literature book in the state of Indiana. at that time I did not know what Ecclesiastes was but I had to memorize it. now it all becomes more real as a describes the end of life or when you look at the other parts of the scriptures whether it be the pentateuch will there be the Psalms and one of my favorite Psalms of course is Psalm 119. all of the verses except for five and that's deal with the word of God in one way or another. so from Genesis 3:15 on we can see God's solution to our problem we were separated because of sin in our lives and it needs to be restored. we have reconciliation through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of calvary. there seems to be a reluctance to follow the scriptures in regard to Salvation. somebody has taken the time to calculate that there are 4,200 different religions of the world well only one of them is correct. that means that 4,199 of them are wrong. we also find that in John 1460 says Jesus said I am the way the truth of the life So praise God today for his word the promises of the scripture always stand for. may the Lord bless you all and keep you today
