The 2 “R”s of Jesus’ Great Commission Command [podcast]
The 2 “R”s Jesus Commands Us to Preach [podcast]
“And that REPENTANCE and REMISSION of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47
Jesus commands us to preach not only “repentance” but also the “remission of sins.”
YOU are a carrier of the Good News of God’s salvation in Christ!
“Beginning at Jerusalem – This was appointed most graciously and wisely: graciously, as it encouraged the, greatest sinners to repent, when they saw that even the murderers of Christ were not excepted from mercy: and wisely, as hereby Christianity was more abundantly attested; the facts being published first on the very spot where they happened.” John Wesley
“Luke 24:47
Repentance
Remission of sins – Αφεσιν ἁμαρτιων, The taking away – removal of sins, in general every thing that relates to the destruction of the power, the pardoning of the guilt, and the purification of the heart from the very nature of sin should be preached in his name.
In his name – On his authority, and in virtue of the atonement made by him: for on what other ground could the inhabitants of the earth expect remission of sins?
Among all nations – Because God wills the salvation of All; and Jesus Christ by his grace has tasted death for Every man. Heb_2:9.
Beginning at Jerusalem – Making the first overtures of mercy to my murderers! If, then, the sinners of Jerusalem might repent, believe, and be saved, none, on this side hell, need despair.” Adam Clarke
We must repent to be saved.
When we do, God washes us of all our sins!
Perhaps we could all amp up the second part of this verse of truth, this command of our LORD – who is “NOT willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Beloved of God, remember these 2 “R”s of the Great Commission:
“And that REPENTANCE and REMISSION of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47
WHAT 2 things did Jesus mandate that we preach?
1. “Repentance”
2. “Remission of sins”
Of course people must repent to be forgiven, to have their sins remitted. When they do repent, Jesus is going to wash away all their sins.
The Great Commission, New Testament includes preaching, communicating that “God commandeth ALL men everywhere to repent” and also assuring, informing people, sinners that God will hear their cry to Him and forgive, remit, remove all their sins instantly! (Acts 17:30-31)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13
The Gospel means the Good News!
Are we truly preaching the whole Gospel or only half of it? Are we informing people of the saving mercy of our LORD Jesus – informing them that as they go to God acknowledging their sin in repentance, that He is going to freely forgive them, washing them from all their sins?
“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION OF SINS, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38
“REPENT ye therefore, and be converted, THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
“Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give REPENTANCE to Israel, and FORGIVENESS OF SINS.” Acts 5:31
“To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive REMISSION OF SINS.” Acts 10:43
The Divine Invitation
Jesus beckons:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 1:18-20
Balance includes strongly preaching both repentance and also that God is going to remit, remove all the sins of those who repent.
YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, in Jesus’ name, please teach me Your ways more perfectly. Do Your work in this vessel and please allow the sweet savor of Christ to emanate from this Your disciple. I love You LORD Jesus. Without You I can do nothing. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Mission Mexico Part 26

Our LORD is Changing Lives here in Mexico
Last week our brother in Christ Vicente had a financial need and you met that need for Vicente and his family.
I brought him the money and he was… absolutely elated. He had been telling me about this pretty serious need for a few weeks. Finally I brought him the money he needed. God is able amen saints.
Update: Vicente update: I ran into our brother Vicente this morning and he was ministering to some men who were a work crew right outside of his restaurant on the street. I quickly handed him about 40 JESUS tracts and he began passing them to the men. Going to be supplying Vicente with more of the JESUS tract in Spanish soon.
Our brother is super overjoyed for the help he received to get his family vehicle repaired.
Jesus is God.
He’s coming.
More on the ministry to the Spanish speaking peoples of our LORD’s world! In the fellowship with the Florida group, a dear lady named Hilda repented and received Christ. Thank you for thanking our LORD for saving her and for His perfect will to be done in Hilda’s life. Phil 1:6
Excellent fruitful ministry time with Alex today. He’s also been sent the Born Again book in Spanish (PDF). Would you like to pause and ask God to bless, to save this man? (Ps 2:8; Acts 3:26)
Your prayers and support make this mission work to these beautiful, ultra-receptive people possible.
No religious organization or rich people support this Gospel mission. God is the Author of it!
Thousands have received the Gospel by the spoken ministry of the Word in Spanish and the JESUS tract.
“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Cor 3:9
“Matthew 5:3! No one wants to be in a humble state of submission in America. Even the so-called Christians! And be needy and weak. Like a little child. They pride themselves on all they can do. And why do I need God I can do it myself! This is why I love hearing testimonies of the people of Mexico who are poor in spirit, meek and humble! Without this you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Karen Cochran
Thank you for lifting in prayer the Mexican people – that many more will be saved and established in Christ (1 Timothy 2:4).

WHY IS THE KING JAMES VERSION CALLED THE “AUTHORIZED VERSION”?

Excerpt from “Answers To Your Bible Version Questions”
© 2001 by David W. Daniels
Question: Why is the King James Bible called the “Authorized Version”? How did King James Authorize it?
Answer: Despite stories to the contrary, King James, in no uncertain terms, clearly authorized the translation of the Bible that now bears his name.
[Note: This is a drastically shortened account of the birth of God’s preserved words in English. Longer accounts are available, as in Final Authority: A Christian’s Guide to the King James Bible, by William P. Grady.]
Sanctioning the Authorized Version
When Elizabeth died on April 1, 1603, she had seen 130 editions of the New Testament and the Bible published during her 45 years as Queen of England. James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, “Queen of Scots,” became James I of England.
Four days later, on his way to London, a delegation of Puritan ministers met James, asking him to hear their grievances against the Church of England. James consented, and on January of 1604, four Puritans came to express their troubles at Hampton Court, in front of King James and over 50 Anglican (Church of England) officials. One by one each request was rejected, until the Puritan group’s leader, John Rainolds said these famous words:
“May your Majesty be pleased to direct that the Bible be now translated, [since] such versions as are extant [are] not answering to the original.”
At first, Bishop Bancroft of London was dead-set against it, saying, “If every man’s humor might be followed, there would be no end to translating.” But the King made it clear he liked the idea. Not too long later Bancroft wrote this to a friend:
I move you in his majesty’s name that, … no time may be overstepped by you for the better furtherance of this holy work…. You will scarcely conceive how earnest his majesty is to have this work begun!
When this Bible was translated, the title page was printed basically as you find it today in Cambridge Bibles:
HOLY BIBLE
CONTAINING THE
OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES:
AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS
DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED
BY HIS MAJESTY’S SPECIAL COMMAND
APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES
The King James Bible was “Authorized” to be translated as God’s Word for the English-speaking people of the world. God bless you as you study His authorized and preserved words in English, the King James Bible.
