"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God."
Luke 8:40-56 (GNT) 40 When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side. 43 Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45 Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Everyone denied it, and Peter said, "Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you." 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me." 47 The woman saw that she had been found o...
Luke:2.1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. Luke:2.2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. Luke:2.3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. Luke:2.4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, Luke:2.5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. Luke:2.6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. Luke:2.7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Hebrews 7:15-8:6
"All of this becomes clearer, when someone who is like Melchizedek is
appointed to be a priest. That person wasn't appointed because of his
ancestors, but because his life can never end. The Scriptures say
about him, "You are a priest forever, just like Melchizedek."
In this way a weak and useless command was put aside, because the Law
cannot make anything perfect. At the same time, we are given a much
better hope, and it can bring us close to God.
God himself made a promise when this priest was appointed. But he did
not make a promise like this when the other priests were appointed.
The promise he made is, "I, the Lord, promise that you will be a
priest forever! And I will never change my mind!"
This means that Jesus guarantees us a better agreement with God.
There have been a lot of other priests, and all of them have died.
But Jesus will never die, and so he will be a priest forever! He is
