Do you want to be blessed?

‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’   Matthew 21:9.  NKJV

Did you realise that, Jesus wants to bless us - each and every day. He longs for us to spend some time with Him - talking to Him, listening and just having some fellowship with Him. He is fun to be with, because He gives you joy. People know when you have spent some time in His presence. They may not be able to pinpoint what they know but, they know there is something different about you.

Remember Moses when he had spent time in God's presence, his face glowed. Read Exodus 34:29-35. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai after spending time with God, his face shone so much, that the people were scared of him because he looked so different. To prevent their fear, Moses decided to wear a veil so that his face wouldn't dazzle them. Imagine that, yes it must have looked a little scary but, what an amazing thing to happen. And this is what can happen to you as well.

I'm not saying that your face will dazzle or scare people so much, that you too, would have to need a veil. Not at all. But, when a person has spent considerable time with Jesus, they will look different. It may be hard to pinpoint but, there will be something different about them that draws people. You may have already felt this from people. They may say to you how differently you handle situations or look peaceful or happy. There is so much depression and unhappiness in our world today that, people are looking for something but, they don't know what it is. But you know!

Our text says, 'Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.' The Hebrew for this is 'Baruch Haba, B'shem Adonai. If you hear this word coming from Jewish people, you will know what they are meaning. Just think for a moment; as you spend much more time with Jesus, you will become more like Him; so much so that, you will be blessed because you come in the Name of the Lord. Remember, you are Jesus to unbelievers, what they see and like in you, is Jesus and they want it but don't know how to get it. This is where you come in. You come in the Name of the Lord and they are blessed and so are you. Therefore, if you want to be blessed, spend time with Jesus.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned   

I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
