I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, (NIV).

Philippians 3 KJV

"7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."

John 10:18
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

John 11:25,26
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: …

For he did not [SMILE}, and why, he did not smile? And He did not tell any jokes. Because:

NASB 1977
He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

He got sick just like us, he felt pain just like us, some nights he could not sleep just like us. He had headaches, stomach aches just like us. He did not smile, but the Bible said, "Jesus wept and He cried strong tears and He feared"

The Suffering Servant "NIV" Isaiah 53
…2He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him. 3He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. 4Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted."

Mark 10:33
"Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles,

Mark 10:34
who will mock Him and spit on Him and flog Him and kill Him. And after three days He will rise again."

Luke 18:31
Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

John 1:10
He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

John 1:11
He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

Psalm 22:6
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.

Psalm 22:7
All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:


How can we, who are the Elect of GOD, be so "Luke WARM", How can we, for we all Know This World does not Love "The Christ of GOD" for They hated Him, for it is a know fact. And if He walked the streets today, They would kill Him again! It does not matter how many pieces of Fish or how many loafs of bread He would give them, or how many Blind people He would heal, or how many Hospitals He would empty by healing them, they would still "Crucify Him"! and Call Him a Devil! He came to save us From The Wrath of GOD. And That is "The Good News according To Jesus Christ" for That is why "the FATHER sent Him into this world. , He did not come to may you happy, he did not come so that you would have a happy marriage, He did not come to make you successful, he did not come so to encourage you to make this a better world, and give you a better education. Read The story, for it is in The BooK. For I come in "The Volume of The Book for it is written of Me", Do what I tell you! The Battle has been WON! What mean you, You fight like, that The battle has Not been WON! it is Finish, FOR I have won the fight already, Stop listening to those False teachers, They fool you into believe That I am at War, The Battle has Been finish for it "Already has been WON"! For why do you not, have Your eyes on "ETERNITY" for who have deceived You? I am not at war With SATAN all His Work is Futile! For I dwell in The Past, The present and The Future! For I have No end, I am The Resurrection, I am The Salvation, I am The past, I am The present, I am The Future, I am "ETERNITY", For I AM "GOD"!!! For I am "The VICTORY" I am The one who determines The Beginning to The End" for It has already been done. Every stone has already been laid. for I am not A man for "I Am GOD"! And before it is all over You will Know That I a AM HE! That I, commands the Mountains and the Hills, The STARS and The Moon, The Oceans and The Seas, the Rains, the Snow,, The fire and the Winds., The Past, The Present and The Future! The Past obey's me, The present obey's me and the Future! For "I AM GOD"! I AM ETERNITY!

Isaiah 50:6
I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

Matthew 26:37,38
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy…

Not once in the Bible is recorded that Jesus smiled or was happy. But in the Bible I do recall That GOD did Laugh. It could be other places that he did, but right now I cannot recall. for I am Old now, and I am quite sure, there are many things now that have slipped my mind that has been recorded in the Book. and I refer not to Speculate in this matter.

 

[PloughBoy]

Isaiah 46 BSB

…9Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. 10I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’ [God will, not I, but He will.} "Less any man should boast"

And I am So glad! Its depends and the Will of God And not of a man! For it will happen as He has Spoken! And Nothing can stop it! And Our God does not depend on a Man or all Mankind! I am so glad that man did not make the SUN, Because If He did, He might not let The Sun shine on me! and many of you know it too! If it was possible Man Would charge you for every minute of every ray of Sun light if He could, and The government would charge you Taxes for Buying Sun Light rays and we would be a big enough of a fool to buy it. And become the Elitist who could afford "SUNLIGHT". While others , we would look down upon because the poor could not afford "the Sun Light" that comes from the sky! Oh yes we would. We would package it, and put in a Box! for this is the kind of Creatures we are.

'But I am a worm and not a man,​

scorned by men and despised by the people.'​

(Psalm 22:6)​

​

'How much less man, that is a worm?​

and the son of man, which is a worm?​

(Job 25:6 )​

​

'Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel;​

I will help thee, saith the LORD,​

and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.'​

(Isa 41:14)​

Hello @PloughBoy,

* This figure (i.e., the belittling of one thing to magnify another) is used to denote a much greater depth of 'humility' and 'affliction' than words can express. The greater the humiliation, the greater the contrast with His glorification: for He Who is, 'a worm and no man,' in Psalm 22, is, 'Jehovah my shepherd,' of Psalm 23, and, 'the King of glory,' of Psalm 24. In these three Psalms we thus have in Psalm 22, 'The Good Shepherd,' in death (John 10:11); 'The Great Shepherd,' in resurrection (Hebrews 13:20); and 'The Chief Shepherd,' in glory (1 Peter 5:4). (ref:- Figures of Speech Used In The Bible').

H8438: - tôlâ‛ tôlê‛âh tôla‛ath tôla‛ath,​

From H3216; a maggot (as voracious); specifically (often with ellipsis of H8144)​

the crimson grub, but used only (in this connection) of the color from it, and cloths dyed therewith.​

Translated:- crimson, scarlet, worm.​

H8144: - Of uncertain derivation; crimson, properly the insect or its color, also stuff dyed with it: - crimson, scarlet (thread).​

Translated: - crimson, scarlet (thread)​

​

* Significant in regard to the furnishings of the tabernacle, (Exodus 25:40)

'And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,​

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering:​

of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take My offering.​

And this is the offering which ye shall take of them;​

gold,​

.. and silver,​

.... and brass,​

...... And blue,​

........ and purple,​

.......... and scarlet,​

............ and fine linen,​

.............. and goats' hair,​

................ And rams' skins dyed red,​

.................. and badgers' skins,​

.................... and shittim wood,​

Oil for the light,​

.. spices for anointing oil,​

.... and for sweet incense,​

...... Onyx stones,​

........ and stones to be set in the ephod,​

.......... and in the breastplate.​

And let them make Me a sanctuary; ​

that I may dwell among them.​

According to all that I shew thee, ​

after the pattern of the tabernacle, ​

and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, ​

even so shall ye make it.'​

(Exo 25:1-9)​

* Such detail isn't there, such precision, all had to be made according to God's pattern, in accord with His will. All having great significance. All made under God's authority. Not so the garments worn by those holding positions in the churches today, they are of their own choosing.

* Searching this out would be such a profitable study. Linking the Lord Himself, with the scarlet thread which Rahab let down out of the window of her house in Jericho, which was the token of her salvation and that of her house, and so much more.

Is not "Psalm 22", the very "Words of GOD" prayed BY "The SON of GOD Himself" to His Father? Remember every Statement, In the Bible are or Is The very Words of GOD. Some things that is written in the Bible are the words of men how they see GOD. But "Psalm 22" Is the very WORDs of GOD Spoken In Prayer from the "SON of GOD" to HIS FATHER! There is a difference and many Christians and many others have not yet Come to that Knowledge yet in Their growth About Learning How to read "The BOOK". But in Due time many will. if they stay in the Book. Because so many must Stay at the feet of Jesus and Learn through many trials and errors on How to read the Book and Ask God The father to Teach Them How to read it in a way That is pleasing to Him and not themselves. We read to learn about GOD and we do not read to teach about and His ways. That is the last thing we desirer is to teach and explain about His Truth, That belongs to The Father Himself because none of Us are able to teach Any thing about GOD, But GOD Himself!

For I know I cannot teach anyone about "GOD" truths or explain HIS Truths or Define HIS Words. For Flesh and Blood cannot do it. But I can point "The WAY" to who can do it. If he, The Father pleases to do so.

American Standard Version
"And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven."

Maybe others can, but I cannot do it, I know me. I do not have the Ability to do so. So I have claim this for over 40 years, Is my trade mark! Everyday I still Pray That GOD the Father teach me What to read and How to read it and much time to stay on that subject and to teach me what He wants me to know this day this hour and not to lean unto my who understanding. everyday, because I know I am nothing but a box of dumb rocks and No good thing is in me. "I like actions and adventure movies, I rather spend my day and night watching them all day long. I spent years learning How to read the word of GOD and How to Speak in following the "Holy Spirt" of GOD and How to flow in Speaking and Writing and thinking, which means "walking In the SPIRIT of GOD" "Bringing every thought in Captivity into obedience unto Christ" I spent Many Years being Taught by GOD to Practice these Things and learning How to to such things, being taught by "The Parakletos" the" hard way", "The narrow Way" for only a few, travel That path, An Old pastor told me, do not be a "jack leg" pastor or Preacher, do it right, The Sensei, said You came up right and took your Time and did it right, that is why you are better than some "instructors" and some who are of higher rank than you they wanted rank, But You walked "the PATH" My mother always taught me growing Up, Do it over again, you should have done it Right in the 1st. place! On her dying bed in the Hospital, the nurse made her bed up, and when the Nurse left out of the room, she told me to take this bed apart, and Make it up right. And she look at me and said; "Christopher, I am you mother, Do what I told you to do" and I said, ok. I took that bed apart and remade it up, Like a Soldier, like I have been doing since I was about 6-7 years old like they taught me. "train up a Child in "The WAY" it should go and when they get old, they will not depart" The world do not know how deep this goes, but I do! And you do too, "Complete" "The Holy Ghost" is also a reminder!

complete for we are one in "Christ".

Yes, @PloughBoy,

They are the very words of the Son of God Himself.

Praise His Holy Name!

God has had His hand on you from the beginning, hasn't He?

May His will be done.
Within the love of Christ our Saviour,
our Lord and Head.
