Gerry Gutierrez' Update
The advantage on focusing on Jesus plus nothing. “Focusing on Jesus plus nothing. #
3.” Since we are
prompted to wander away from the God that we love, focusing on Jesus is as
necessary as being nailed with Jesus in oneness on the cross as well as in his
glorious resurrection. Jesus alone has
assumed the responsibility for our salvation. Because Jesus alone can save, there
is no one else able to save. Jesus says, “ I
am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me though he dies shall be
alive.” Jesus alone is
the Lord of lords, King of kings and God of gods. If you trust in
something else apart from Jesus, then you are under the curse of the word of
God that says, “Curse is the man who trusts in another man. Curse is the man
whose confidence is in the flesh.” Our beautiful
Lord Jesus knew before hand that in our own strength we would not be able to
focus on “Jesus plus nothing.” Therefore he sent his Holy Spirit to help us, to
comfort us, to guide us, to teach us, to counsel us and to remind us to claim
the name of “Jesus plus nothing”. A father does not
give a snake to the son who asks for a fish or give a scorpion to a son who
asks for an egg. “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts
to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him!” Let us in the
power of Prayer ask the Father for the Holy Spirit that will empower us to say,
“Jesus plus nothing,” so help me God. Gerry Gutierrez. PS. She is our
Carlo's daughter, one of our Orphans. She chose her dress and shoes on Saturday
and came happily dressed up on Sunday to church. She loves Jesus plus nothing.
She also loves me a little.
