Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the Glory of God

Wig’s Word of God Today 12-5-2010

Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the Glory of God. Romans 15:7

Isaiah 11:1-10, Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17., Romans 15:4-9 & Matthew 3:1-12
 
Paul speaks of humanity becoming One in Christ for the glorification of the Father by our practice, prayer and our preaching. It is by our practice that we have divine instruction for us to rely on and by our prayer and preaching we place God first in all we do. “For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:4-6
 
Welcome one another in Christ as John the Baptist did in the desert as he baptized anyone who came to accomplish the Will of the Lord. John spoke of Christ as if he knew him before he arrived exclaiming; “I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the One who is coming after me is Mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry His sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” Matthew 3:11 By our Baptism we are cleaned and born anew and now led by the Holy Spirit. Love your love of Christ and seek the Holy Spirit to lead you.
 
And so we pray: Dear God, I pray today to always welcome anyone as Christ welcomed me for the Glory of You. May the Holy Spirit guide us to be One with You for all eternity. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

Romans 8:28
 
His Sandals I Cannot Carry
 
Council my spirit
Council my strength
Guide me eternally
Guided by length
 
Child playing with a leopard
A wolf dining with the Lamb
Lion grazing with a heffer
Kingdom of God is at hand
 
Scripture Humanity’s guide
Given endurance of Truth
Welcome one another in Spirit
Humanity’s Salvation as proof
 
Screaming in the desert
Repent for the Kingdom is at hand
His sandals I cannot carry
Spirit of fire greets the Lamb

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
