Just a very brief blog to announce the publishing of the Guestbook and photo albums; one named 10web Gallery and the other NextGEN Gallery. While both photo albums are currently empty, the Guestbook is fully operational. The staff here at DAT Ministries look forward to reading your comments in the new Guestbook.
That will be a wrap for today. You all have been great. I especially appreciate the eMails from folks that either let me know how this ministry has helped them or sent me ideas on content that I could publish. With that, I leave you by speaking this blessing over you:
“I pray that the Lord
will bless and protect you,
and that he will show you mercy
and kindness.
May the Lord be good to you
and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26 (CEV)
That exact phrase is in the New American Standard Bible (NASB) three times. As a matter of fact, quite a few translations use those same words for that sentence. Matthew the tax collector recorded it in Matthew 16:15, Mark the writer recorded it in Mark 8:29 and Luke the physician recorded it in Luke 9:20. John did not include this event in his book of the four-book Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ posed that question to his disciples.
Let me back up for a minute to Mark chapter 1, verses 14 and 15. Reading from the King James Version:
“Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
Mark 1:14-15 (KJV)
In the original Greek, the word gospel is euaggelion which precedes
euaggelistes or evangelist. It is fitting that the Gospel or Good News as proclaimed by an evangelist or in our case here at DAT Ministries, an eVangelist.
If Jesus Christ were to ask YOU that question, have you ever taken the time to think about what your answer would be? Would it be the answer that Simon Peter gave in verse 16 of Matthew chapter 16?
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”
Matthew 16:16 (NIV)
Here is a homework assignment for you all. What is your response to the Lord’s question and why do you say that? Your answer of four or five well thought out sentences is what I am looking for. You can either post your answer in the comments of this blog by clicking on the title and the comments section will appear below the blog or you can eMail me your answer by using the “Contact Us” response form.
