Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Matthew 3:15

It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone; but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD.  Matthew 4:4

Doing a study of Jesus' words only. Have been thinking for a while that I would like to know just what Jesus said as he walked the earth starting with St. Matthew. His words are powerful, and I've read the entire Bible, but now I want to know only what Jesus spoke. So for a bit, most of my scripture on Sunday will be passages that only Jesus spoke.

Happy Sunday in this first Sunday Scripture Blessings link up for August. The link up is below if you'd like to share a Scripture Blessing. (using the old version of Inlinkz)

Note: Inlinkz has gone to a new version, and with that version, as like other websites, they will ask for verification of email in order to link up. This is to ensure that there is no one using a made up email in order to visit and link up spam. The email is only seen by Inlinkz for verification and it is only linked to this blog's link up party. I'm basically the only one that can see your verification, and when I contacted Inlinkz, they assure the email is used in no other way. That has been the norm all along with Inlinkz, but now they are asking for email verification. I hope you will continue to link up with Sunday Scripture Blessings and Pictorial Tuesday. If you have objections, please let me know concerns so I can relate them to Inlinkz.  For now, we can continue to use the old version of Inlinkz so that is the version below. Please let me know if you've encountered sites using the new version and concerns you have about having to verify your email address before you can add your link. If many aren't that upset about it, then I will start using the new one or abandon my link ups if it means losing those who have always visited and shared a link.

Thank you for sharing a Scripture Blessing:

Sunday Scripture Blessing 1 28 18

LUKE 1 Introduction:

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

• The birth of John the Baptist Foretold ~ Zechariah is told that his wife will bear a child in her old age, and they are to call him John.

• Mary visits Elizabeth - The baby John leaps in Elizabeth's womb upon Mary's greeting. Elizabeth tells Mary ~ "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear.

Mary's Song

My soul glorifies the LORD and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me - holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors."

• John the Baptist is born
• Jesus is born
• Jesus is presented in the Temple and a man in Jerusalem called Simeon who was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him took baby Jesus in his arms and praised God, saying: "Sovereign LORD, as you promised, you many now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel."
• John the Baptist Prepares the Way
• The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus ~ who down the line is the son of Seth who is the son of Adam who is the son of God

In my reading through the Bible beginning again this year, I am re-reading the New Testament. Have finished Matthew, Mark, and am through chapter 3 in Luke.

What have you been reading so far this new year of 2018? Thanks for sharing, and you're next for sharing a scripture blessing today. We Are Blessed Every Day!

Sunday Scripture Blessing ~ 12 31 17

• They stripped Jesus and put a scarlet robe on him
• They put a crown of thorns on his head
• The spit on him
• They struck him with a staff on his head again and again
• They mocked him
• Then they crucified him

What shall I do then with Jesus who is call the Messiah? Pilate asked
They all answered 'Crucify Him'
Pilate took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. I am innocent of this man's blood, he said. It is your responsibility.
All the people answered, 'His blood is on us and on our children'.
Then he released Barabas to them, had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea bought a plot and that is where Jesus was buried.
In three days, Jesus was risen, and when the eleven disciples saw Jesus, he came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HolySpirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

And, even after all , a Loving Jesus is still there for us with only one command...that we ask and believe on him. We are forgiven. We are washed clean with his sacrifice. How awesome even after all that he suffered.

Reading in Matthew. From the birth and to the resurrection. And doing some Bible Journaling. Messed up the word Gethsemane when I tried to emboss it. For some reason, I never have good luck with the embossing.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and that 2018 is gracious to everyone, and we find some Peace for our world.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. Matthew 23:39

Was excited to find this Journaling Bible at a great bargain at a local store. They get Bibles in that must be overstocks, and they offer them much lower than market price. This one was marked $16.99, and I got it with my discount coupon for $15.29. I kept looking at it and thinking that I didn't really need it, but with such a good price, and I do like to get different Bible versions and this one that is ESV, I didn't have that added to my collection yet. The one I have now only gives space on the edge for journaling, but this one has a full page after each page of scripture. I do find for me that with reading the scripture and then deciding how to journal and do notes after my reading helps me to reflect on the scriptures. I haven't journaled in it yet since I haven't finished my other one yet.

Sunday Scripture Blessings 11 12 17

Matthew 1:1-16
Joseph ~ descendent of Abraham, Jesse, and King David.
Joseph ~ husband of Mary, Mother of Jesus
14 generations Abraham to David
14 generations David to exile to Babylon
14 generations exile to the Messiah
Born in Bethlehem in Judea. Mary and Joseph take Jesus and escaped to Egypt for fear of King Herod. After Herod death, Mary and Joseph go to Israel, but for fear of Herod's son, they go to Galilee to Nazareth.  And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

When I use to read the genealogy of Jesus, I had no clue. But, now after reading through the Bible, and I am re-reading Matthew, which starts with the genealogy of Jesus, I was 'like, wow, I really do recognize these names'. How much more interesting the Bible becomes when we study in-depth. It is like reading a very interesting novel.

As we head into Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays, I will be reading the New Testament again to relive the birth of Jesus. (The story that never gets old). Joseph and Mary's story. When reading His story, it is always bittersweet to me. We love innocent babies and the imagine of that sweet child, and his life because we are on the back side of his story. It elates and also saddens at the same time. When reading it, I root every time for a different ending. I root for understanding of the man who walked this earth among men. I'm heartened because I know that baby is in control. He is IMMANUEL ~ GOD WITH US.



I look forward to the Scripture Blessings and hope you will be blessed by what other's share. Thank you for linking. You can now link from Instagram, it says on the Inlinkz site.
