Three Trees

THREE TREES

One morning,

The air was crisp and still,

I saw on the horizon,

Three trees standing on a hill.

The two trees on the sides,

Shorter than the center one;

How they stood out,

In the rising sun.

A refuge for the birds,

In the time of storms,

A nesting place,

So peaceful and warm.

Seeing these trees,

So majestic standing in a row,

Took my mind back,

Two thousand years or so,

To a place called Calvary,

Where three wooden crosses,

Stood out plainly in a row.

On the outside crosses,

Hung two guilty thieves,

On the center cross,

Hung the only Son of God;

He was dying for you and me.

Jesus, was baring our sins,

So we could be set free.

My Observations [ Hope according to the Bible ]

  Hope continued:

OBJECTS OF OUR HOPE:  1 Thess.5:8— But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. Saints have the hope of salvation!

Gal.5:5—For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. We have our hope of complete and perfect righteousness!

  Titus 2:13– looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,          We have the hope of Christ’s glorious appearing!

 

Take courage. We walk in the wilderness today and in the Promised Land
tomorrow.  D. L. Moody       [ This concludes a brief study on hope ]

My Favorite Quotes

 

 

 

The beginning of greatness is to be little; the increase of greatness is to be
less; the perfection of greatness is to be nothing.

Obedience means marching right on whether we feel like it or not. Many times we go against our feelings. Faith is one thing, feeling is another.  D. L. Moody quotes

My Observations [ Hope according to the Bible ]

  Hope continued:

Col.1:23—  if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.   As Saints we should let nothing rob us of our Hope in Christ!

  Psalm 71:14,15; 1 Peter 1:13– As Saints we should hold fast to and walk each step we take with Jesus because of the hope we have in Him.

My Favorite Bible Verses

Jesus Appears to His Disciples   [ John 20:19-23 ]

¹⁹ On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” ²⁰After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

²¹ Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” ²² And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. ²³ If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
