BE NOT FAR

THE RIGHT DIRECTION

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up. O that my ways were directed to keep Thy statutes! Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with JESUS and His disciples: for there were many, and they followed Him. In all Thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed Him. A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed JESUS from Galilee, ministering unto Him. If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way. Now God Himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow Me. If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF

And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all. Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. 

Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it. But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself. And, having made peace through the blood of His Cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace. Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 

Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of HHis 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. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this He did once, when He offered up Himself

How much more shall the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? For then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 

Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.
