Jesus The Perfect Gift
Witness And Partaker

Matthew 5:16, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workd and glorify your father which is in heaven. I Peter 5:1-4, the elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind, neither as being lords over God's heritage but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Jesus the perfect gift to all of mankind, came and witnessed salvation as man had never known before. Not only did he witness of the things of God. He was a partaker of the same glory.

We have however been negligent in putting man in remembrance of Jesus Christ adn what he has done for us. Jesus take on the Ten Commandments is this: that we should obey them and keep them in our hearts first before anything else. He warns us of the company we keep. Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, we are not to sat with vain persons, neither go in with dissemblers, hate the congregation of evil doers and don't sit with the wicked. We should not gather our souls with sinners, nor our life with bloody men. Draw not away with the wicked and with the workers of iniquity which speak peace to their neighbor, but mischief is in their hearts. We must do away with a froward (stubbornly, contrary, and disobedient obstinate) heart; get rid of deceit, Tell The Truth.

David said in Psalm 119:115, depart from me, ye evil doers for I will keep the Commandments of my God. We are warned not to incline our hearts to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with man that work iniquity and don't eat with them. Discretion shall preserve (to keep safe from injury, peril, or other adversity, protect, keep in perfect, or unaltered condition; maintain unchanged) thee, understanding shall keep us. Understanding is the quality or condition of one who understands and comprehends (to grasp mentally, understand or know, to take in, include or embrace) intelligence. Having or characterized by comprehension, good sense or discernment. Don't enter in the path of the wicked, go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it. Forsake the foolish and live. He that follows vain people is void of understanding. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbor, but the way of the wicked seduce them. A companion of fools shall be destroyed. Go from the presence of a foolish man when we perceive not in him the lips of knowledge. Meddle not with them that flatter with their lips. Be not envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. When the wicked are multiplied, transgressions is increased. Whoso is a partner with a thief hates his soul. Ecclesiasted 9:18, Solomon says one sinner destroy much good.

Matthew 24:12, because iniquity abound the love of many shall wax cold. Let us therefore not judge one another, but judge this rather that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brothers way. Paul said in Romans 6:17, now I beseech you brethren; mark them that cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them. Know ye not that a little leaven; leavens the whole lump? I Corinthians 15:33, be not deceived, evil communication corrupt good manners. Jesus is the perfect gift, a witness and partaker of the truth. He said I am the way, the light and the truth, no man cometh to the Father except by me. Jesus is the perfect gift and the gift giver. II Corinthians 6:14-17, be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believe with an infidel? Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate said the Lord, and touch not the unclean things. Ephesians 5:6-7, 11, let no man deceive you with vain words for because of these things come the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Jesus taught the Gospel. Isaiah 6:9-10 gave a message to the people of God to go and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not, and see ye indeed but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat and make their ears heavy and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts and convert and be healed. God gave Isaiah a sign in Isaiah 7:14-16 when Emmanuel would come. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. To live for God we must give up some things. We have to be careful of the table we eat from. We also have to be careful of what it is we are eating. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good they must be taught. The land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. All of man's steps are ordered by the Lord. God's purposes are unresistable.

We are not giving into what God has called us to be; witnesses and partakers of the truth. We strive to work against that which God has called us to. We focus more on what man says rather than God. We focus more on what man says rather than God. We are jelly backs. We just go along with whatever man says rather the action is right or wrong. We offer no resistance when the organization against Jesus is being acted against. A man's ego opposes what the conscience recalls of unpleasant experiences but we had a choice to resist temptation and acted out and chose to be powerless. To be who God call you to be we must resolve, make a firm decision about our salvation and separate ourselves from the things that will separate us from God. All the time we don't know the way we take, but we follow on to know Christ that we may have everlasting life without resorting to our own customary habits. God is faithful to his promises; it is man that walks away from God's blessings. God gave His Son, the greatest gift any one could ever want. Jesus has the keys to our destiny. It is Jesus that we must partake of and witness of daily. Isaiah 8 lists the things God wanted him to follow. We are to associate ourselves to Jesus, give ear to the Word, gird ourselves up, take counsel together, speak the Word, don't walk the way others walk, sanctify yourself to the Lord, stop stumbling and falling, broken and snared or be taken up in a fault. Our joy is in Jesus, the perfect gift. It's time to seek the Lord and curse sin.

Isaiah 9:6, for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wornderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Throughout the Scripture in the gospels Jesus taught us how that we ought to live and keep the commandments of God. Jesus did not come to establish his own will in the earth but held fast perfectly to the will of the Father in earthen flesh. Jesus is the perfect gift, witness and partaker. We too has been instructed in like manner to love God, following the example of Jesus Christ.
