HI!

Once, I was guest speaker at another
church.
They had a "supper" before the worship
time.

My wife, Ann, was doing her impersonation
of a homeless woman who just wandered in.

She came out dressed in an old floppy hat,
smeared lipstick, a patched dress, tennis
shoes (with different colored socks), and
carrying a huge bag.

From the bag, she would pull a certain item
and place it in front of a selected person;
then, she would tell funny stories about
them. At the end of the characterizations, she
came over to ME!

She asked, "Aren't you that pastor at
"....." church?"

I answered, "Yes." She said, "My Momma tole me dat ah
could KISS YOU!"
She promptly smeared that lipstick all over
my lips and left!

The pastor of the church I was visiting was
sitting right beside me. He asked,
"Bro. Bruce, did you KNOW that woman?"

I answered (shocked face), "No Did you?"

A few minutes later, Ann entered the room
again.
This time she was dressed nicely.

I turned to the pastor, "Bro. ......., This is my
wife. And, by the way, she was the lady from
awhile ago. You didn't recognize her then,
did you?"

_______SCRIPTURE____________

Matt 16:13-17
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do
men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the
Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one
of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say YE that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed
art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not
revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
KJV

_______THOUGHT______________

Sometimes, I wonder if people REALLY
RECOGNIZE Jesus for WHO He is.

The world calls Him, "teacher, prophet, priest" and
many other names.
But, true believers in Jesus, recognize Him as,
MASTER, CREATOR, REDEEMER, ETERNAL
JUDGE - the SON of the LIVING GOD!"

Jesus is the VISIBLE IMAGE of the PERSONHOOD
of the INVISIBLE GOD! (Heb. 1:3)

He is the CREATOR of all things;
The SUSTAINER of all that is;
The REDEEMER and SAVIOR of all men!

He OWNS ALL that is!
He has ALL POWER in heaven and earth!

That term "Son of the Living God" means He is
the REPRESENTATION and REVELATION of
God to mankind!

Do you recognize Him as OWNER and MASTER
of your whole LIFE?

Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
