THE U IN JESUS


Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son.

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.

"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."

So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know,
But it all starts with U.


When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!

The Story of the Candy Cane

Legend has it that in the 18th Century somewhere in Europe any public display of Christianity was forbidden. No crosses or Bibles were allowed and the Christians were greatly oppressed. One old man, a candy maker by profession, was particularly distressed by this. He loved the Lord with all of his heart and couldn't stand to not share that love with the world. His heart especially went out to the children when Christmas drew near and no one was allowed to have a nativity scene (or crèche`) on display in their homes. He prayed for God to show him some way to make Christmas gifts for the children which would teach them the story of Christ.

The answer was the candy cane. The candy cane was in the shape of a shepherd"s staff to show them Jesus is our Shepherd and we are His flock. A sheep follows his own shepherd, knows his voice, and trusts him and knows that he is totally safe with him. The sheep will follow no other shepherd but their own. This is how we are to be with Jesus if we truly follow Him ( John 10:11; Psalm 23:1; Isaiah 40:11)

Upside down the candy cane was a "J", the first letter of Jesus' name. ( Luke 1:31) It was made of hard candy to remind us that Christ is the rock of our salvation. The wide red stripes on the candy cane were to represent the blood He shed on the cross for each one of us so that we can have eternal life through Him. He redeems us and cleanses us with His shed blood - the only thing that can wash away our sin. ( Luke 22:20) . The white stripes on a candy cane represented the virgin birth, sinless life and purity of our Lord. He is the only human being who ever lived on this earth who never committed a single sin. Even though He was tempted just as we are, He never sinned. ( I Peter: 22) The three narrow red stripes on candy canes symbolized that by His stripes, or wounds, we are healed and the Trinity - the Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. Before the crucifixion Jesus was beaten; the crown of thorns was placed on His head; His back was raw from the whip. We are healed by those wounds. He bore our sorrows and by His stripes we are healed. ( Isaiah 53:3) The flavoring in the candy cane was peppermint, which is similar to hyssop. Hyssop is of the mint family and was used in Old Testament times for purification and sacrifice just as Jesus sacrificed His life for ours. ( John 19:29; Psalm 51:7)

The old candy maker told them that when we break our candy cane it reminds us that Jesus' body was broken for us. When we have communion it is a reminder of what He did for us. ( I Cor. 11:24) If we share our candy cane and give some to someone else in love because we want to, it represents that same love of Jesus because He is to be shared with one another in love. ( I John 4:7,8) God gave Himself to us when He sent Jesus. He loved us so much He wants us to spend eternal life with Him... which we can do if we accept Jesus in our hearts as Savior and Lord. ( John 1:12; John 3:3,16) Some people believe this story of the candy cane is just a legend. Others believe it really happened. We do not know for sure exactly how the candy cane was invented, but there is one thing for certain... it is an excellent picture of Christ and His love for you.

God On The Pod
===============

How many times do you notice little white ear buds sticking out?
Technically I guess it's sticking in. I wear them too with my
iPhone, and they may be sticking out of your ears right now.

Many of you listen (often all day) to the free sermons on
AirJesus.com/TheOnLineWord.com. We've been listening your
many requests to add the sermons to iTunes in podcast form.

We've listened and obeyed.

You can now get the weekly sermon automatically delivered to
your computer, iPod, iPhone or other device automatically.
It's easy.

Go to www.GodOnThePod.com and start getting your weekly podcast.
Of course it's free as usual.

Most of the bandwidth for Internet traffic is for things that
are not uplifting to the spirit. We are used to hearing the
Word of God from the podium, but things have changed. I now
read my Bible each day on my phone. It's easier, the text is
bigger and brighter; and I always have my phone with me. I can
choose from several different versions at the click of a button.

Podcasts are better for me because it helps me to study and
listen better, and the biggest thing is that it's automatic.
They will automatically download to my computer or phone, and I
listen when I get ready. It's like MountainWings automatically
in your inbox. If you had to go to the website each day to read
MountainWings, you would often forget. Podcasts help you to not
forget.

So instead of just being on the PODium without fail each week,
God's Word is now on your iPod or computer, without fail.

God On The Pod

I guarantee it will be a major benefit to your spirit, and you
will feel the difference within 90 days. It's free and easy;
and if you don't think it is changing you for the better,
it is very easy to unsubscribe.

www.GodOnThePod.com
or go to www.AirJesus.com and click on the Podcast symbol.

It's time for God to be on your Pod.

Mary's Little Lamb

Think carefully about what you will be reading..

Mary, had a little Lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere ! that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.

He followed her to school each day,
T'wasn't even in the rule.
It made the children laugh and play, !
To have The Lamb at school.


And then the rules all changed one day,
Illegal it became;
To bring The Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His Name!


Every day worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shots and tears.


What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let's let The Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to pray!

The Power of Righteous Living

Today's Scripture
“The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, You make the way of the righteous smooth” (Isaiah 26:7, NIV).

Today's Word
Righteous living is simply following God’s ways. When we honor God and His Word above all, it pleases Him, and He promises to make our way smooth. Righteous living keeps us connected to God and closes the door to the enemy. Righteous living is the evidence of our faith in Him. In other words, when we follow God commands, it proves that we have faith in Him because Hebrews tells us that faith without action is dead, or useless.

Right now, take time to search your mind and heart. Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal to you any areas that need adjusting. Don’t allow yourself to be comfortable with any unrighteous, self-defeating thoughts or actions. Be determined to live, think, speak and act the way God does! Let His righteousness flow through you today and every day so that you can keep your faith alive and move forward into the abundant life He has for you.

A Prayer for Today
Father in heaven, I commit to You every area of my life—my mind, my will, and my emotions. Reveal to me anything that isn’t pleasing to You. Show me Your ways so that I can walk with You and live righteously in every area of my life.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
