You need to be seeking Absolute Love for what Absolute Love wants to give you.             Joh 6:26-27 "Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal."                     Do you really want this Absolute Love?     Joh 6:35-36" Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe."    Absolute love is not unconditional, even though the condition is supplied to you. You can not earn Absolute Love. Absolute Love  is given and humbly accepted!              Joh 6:40 "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."

What is it that Absolute Love, loves?                    Psa 33:4-7 "For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD. By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses."             Would you be so bold as to love your own unrighteousness and not be repentant?  Would you act unjustly and not be sorrowful throwing yourself upon God's mercy?   The earth is full of His steadfast love, turn to Him there is no other absolute power and love.           Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

Are you angry about anything or towards anyone today?               Psa 4:4 "Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah"              What does Absolute Love do with anger?          Psa 30:4-5 "Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning."                  Let it go don't hold on to anger be imitators of God. You can't accomplish what is right by your anger.              Jas 1:19 "Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God."                Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

Are you walking in the Absolute Love today?              Psa 25:8-10 "Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. All the paths of the LORD are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies."         Stay on the Path!        Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

Absolute Love inhabits, surrounds and flows from God, the one God, the three in one God. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.                           Tit 3:4-7 "But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life."             Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

Absolute Love will not be displaced by other loves. He demands purity. Absolute Love is not unconditional but is freely given. Absolute Love is waiting for you to return.          Isa 30:15 "For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." But you were unwilling,"             Isa 30:18 "Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him."               Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

Mar 16:5-6 "And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him."                  The Absolute Love is Worthy to receive your love and devotion.                Rev 5:11 "Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"

The way has been opened! Absolute Love has provided the way.                        Exo 26:33 "And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy."                          Mat 27:51-54 "And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many. When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

Isa 53:11-12 "Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors."  Absolute Love never fails!  1Co 15:20-22 "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

Isa 53:9,10 "And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."            The Absolute Love is abandoned by all earthly followers, even those who share a last meal of fellowship.                     Mat 26:2 "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified."                    Mat 26:31 "Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, 'I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered."                              Mat 26:56 "But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled."                            Then all the disciples left him and fled.              Mat 26:63-64 But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, "I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him, "You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."                    Come, LORD!

Isa 53:7-8 "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?"            The Absolute Love is the substitute for the sacrifice of Abrahams' son Isaac. Absolute Love, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus is the passover lamb. He is the one who John the Baptist proclaimed,  "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"                Rev 5:6 "And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain,"         The Lamb is risen and reigning!

Spotting the Lies

Spotting the Lies

Isa 53:5-6 "But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."             A week started as welcome and jubilation- ended with confrontation and hatred.  Crucify Him,Crucify Him.  We are all so in need of forgiveness and the Absolute Love of God.                 Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

The Normalization of Pride

The Normalization of Pride

Isa 53:3-4 "He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted."             The Absolute Love is a sacrificial love. Jesus set his face to go to Jerusalem to suffer and die for our sins.        Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

Psa 63:3-7 "Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy."          The Absolute Love of God is better than life itself. Is this where you are finding your joy today? Is this where you're looking for help?         Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty,"

Why would you try to go it alone. God is Absolute Love.                     1Pe 5:6-7 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."          Do you want to be lifted up it comes from looking away from yourself and turning to God.                   Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

It's Friday. You might need this message?               Mat 11:27-30 'All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."        To find peace and rest in Absolute Love you have to take upon yourself the "yoke" of obeying Jesus Christ. It is not unconditional love, but it is freely offered.

What is the nature of God's Absolute Love?          Joh 3:35-36 "The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."           God's Love is an overflow of Himself. It is not unconditional. Namely His overflow of the loving relationships within Himself. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Three in One.                Deu 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.          Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"

Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty."           Absolute love is not unconditional love. Absolute love is sacrificial love in that it continually looks for the absolute best for us even in our rebellion. There are things that God hates. His absolute love is set against these things.                      Pro 6:16-19 "There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."        To love absolutely is to hate the things that are contrary to love.  

Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty."                Absolute Love pours love out upon those in need!                   Deu 10:17-19 "For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt."

Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty,"  I John 4:8, 16 God is love.                   God's love is absolute, not unconditional. How hard, how much are you seeking Him?                         Deu 4:29 "But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul."

I John 4:8,16 God is love.            Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty,"                 How does absolute love blend love and justice?              1Jn 4:10 "In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."

I John 4:8,16 God is love.               God's love is not unconditional. It comes with commands. God is portrayed as essentially a loving parent. Parents give sacrificial love for sure. God is relational, no loving relationship lasts without boundaries. God's love is absolute.            Deu 6:5 "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."

I John 4:8,16 God is Love.         Yes, God is revealed as a loving God to the followers of Jesus in both the Old and New Testaments. Most think of the anger and judgement of God when they think of the Old Testament. When Moses asked God to reveal His glory this is what happened. Exo 34:6-7 "The LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty"           Overflowing with steadfast love, this is the glory of God in Old and New.  Love encompasses justice and judgement.

God is love! I John 4:8,16                 Grace and Mercy overflow from I AM. Grace and Mercy are God's prerogative. God's Grace and Mercy are not arbitrary they are absolute. They flow from the one who is absolute. I AM is Absolutely Love.              Exo 33:18 Moses said, "Please show me your glory." Exo 33:19 "And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name 'The LORD.' And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."

Absolute Love gives to those in need.               Lev 19:10 "And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God."                Hardly anyone reads the books of the laws and statutes of God's people, Leviticus. Yes, some of the ceremonial laws, sacrificial laws and purification laws have been eclipsed by the all encompassing life, death and resurrection of Christ. Yet, the intent of harmony, justice and truth contained, points forever to the absolute love of God.God is forever looking to pour favor on the least favorable people in this world of sickness and self elevation. The poor, the sojourner, the alien, widow and orphan are especially under the eye and care of the one who is absolute love.           Lev 19:11  "You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.'
