Develope a Palate

Develope a Palate
Daily intake of the Word nourishes the Spirit. Jeremiah's Menu is an exercise in recognizing God's Word made flesh in and around me. Eating the Word in a way that supplies the spiritual nutrients needed to grow. The Menu is offered with the hope of inspiring you to taste and see that the Lord is good. Bon Appetite!

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

Romans 8... day 19...

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time
are not worth comparing with the glory
that is to be revealed to us.
Romans 8:18 ESV

Yes... our inheritance in Christ... is connected with suffering... but it pales... in comparison to the glory to be revealed...

No one suffered more than Christ on the cross...
physical pain...
humiliation...
injustice...
abandonment...
betrayal...
rejection...

He is the model... for how we are to handle suffering... in His name...

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy set before him, endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Hebrews 12:2

Do you see how He endured...?

...for the joy... set before Him...

Endurance requires a vision of all that is to come...
the joy set before us...
the glory to be revealed...
when everything is set right...

So... fix your eyes on Jesus... the author and perfecter... of your faith...

Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself,
so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Hebrews 12:3 ESV
