April is a very special month for me. I
met Gloria Jean Neece in October 1961.
Then, on the 13th of April, at 8 in the
evening, in Little Rock, Ark., we were
married. The year was 1962. That was 60
years ago. You have heard me say it and
sing it. She's the best thing that ever
happened to me. It was her
unconditional love that brought me to
the moment six months later that I
received Jesus as my LORD and Savior.
That is absolutely THE BEST THING THAT
EVER HAPPENED TO ME!
Let's begin today by looking at three
verses of scripture.
First, let's look at John 4:34, in the
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition, which
says:
34 Jesus said to them, My food
(nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure)
of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish
and completely finish His work.
Now look at John 5:30:
30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I
hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will, but
the will of the Father which hath sent
me.
Jesus said the same thing in John 6:38:
38 For I came down from heaven, not to
do mine own will, but the will of him
that sent me.
All these scriptures point to the fact that
everything Jesus did in His ministry here
on the earth was the perfect will of God.
Let's read Matthew 9:35 and see what
the New Covenant says He did:
35 And Jesus went about all the cities
and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the
people.
There you have it: teaching, preaching
and healing. Now let's see what He
commissioned the 12 members to do.
Matthew 10:1 says:
1 And when he had called unto him his
twelve disciples, he gave them power
against unclean spirits, to cast them out,
and to heal all manner of sickness and
all manner of disease.
