SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 09/18- “He, The LORD, Personally Knows What We Face In Life!” (Hebrews 4:15)
Premise Question: Just how is it possible, that our High Priest, Jesus Christ, can fully understand every one of our weaknesses, our horrible trials and testings, as well as, our most arduous struggles and difficult challenges?
“This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.” (Hebrews 4:15 NLT)
For we confidently profess, with full assurance, that we are enormously blessed, by knowing, as a matter of record, that our High Priest, The LORD Jesus Christ, has the unique capacity and ability of understanding all of our frailties, weaknesses and infirmities, that we may encounter in life; because He Himself personally, has vicariously experienced every one of them, all, just for us, by being tested, tried and tempted, in every manner, mode and fashion possibly known to humankind, and still, He was found to be faithful and true, for He did not succumb to the lower nature and yield to sin, for He, who was without sin, did not ever sin. (Hebrews 4:15 PDCP)
Bottom Line: The reason we, every individual member of The Company of The Redeemed, can be absolutely confident, with full assurance, that our High Priest, who is our redeeming LORD and Savior, has the exclusively unique and very important ability, to completely identify and then truly empathize with us, in all of our weaknesses, challenging trials and difficult testings, is because He, Jesus Christ Himself, was tested and certified, to be tried and true, completely authenticated, to be absolutely qualified and approved, in order to become the perfect sacrifice and substitute, to take our place, pay for our sin and become The Redeemer of all of humankind.
Because of His sinless life, as He never once yielded or succumbed to any temptation, trial or trouble that He encountered, or when He was challenged, confronted or affronted, and therefore, having never failed, faltered nor did He ever stumble in any of His ways, for He was perfect, holy and righteous, in every way, He did not ever sin!
That’s why He can totally relate, fully comprehend and understand us, no matter what we may have gone through, may be going through or may yet go through; for there is not anything that any of us can or will ever have to go through, that He, The LORD, hasn’t already experienced and overcome.
So, be encouraged today, with the knowledge and comfort, that The LORD Himself, personally knows and has gone through, anything and everything that we will face in this life! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 05/20- “It Was An Absolute Necessity—That He Had To Do It All—Just For Us!” (1 Peter 2:24)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 05/20- “It Was An Absolute Necessity—That He Had To Do It All—Just For Us!” (1 Peter 2:24)
Premise Question: Why was it an absolute necessity, that Jesus personally take upon Himself, by carrying in His physical body, all the sins of humankind?
He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
(1 Peter 2:24 NLT)
He, The King of Kings and The LORD of Lords, The Creator of Heaven and earth, while hanging on the cruel cross, personally received and took upon Himself, in His body, all of humankind’s iniquities, transgressions and vile sins. This, so that we would no longer be subject to the power that sin has over us; thereby, enabling us to completely die to the depravity of our pernicious ways and evil desires, so that, we can begin to fully realize all that He’s done for us and then, live righteously for Him. The wounds and afflictions He received in His body, now produces and provides healing and release in ours. (1Peter 2:24 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Jesus Christ personally took upon Himself, by carrying in His physical body, upon the cruel cross, all of humankind’s transgressing sin. Furthermore, He willingly took upon Himself, as a direct result of sin, their deserved death sentences, by dying for them in their place.
This was all absolutely necessary, in order to fulfill and satisfy completely, the righteous requirements of Papa God’s Holy Law. For without the offering up of Papa God’s only Son, the perfect sacrifice, on behalf of humankind, no amount of sacrificial offerings, work or humankind effort, on our part, will ever suffice, procure or produce a righteous life of being absolutely set free to live life victoriously, and then, ultimately, life eternal—living in the glorious light and personal presence of The King of Kings and The LORD of Lords—to forever experience the fullness of His joy and perfect peace, without end.
Something to take note of is: Papa God’s provision of His gracious favor and His merciful redemption was made on behalf of all of humankind, each and every individual, even for those who choose to reject it, by not believing and receiving His only Son as the provision of payment for their sin and death sentence; for Jesus bore their sins, as well!
He lavishly poured out His great love upon all of humankind, but each individual must choose to believe and accept personally, Papa God’s love, grace and mercy offered through His Son, our Savior Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Let each one of us, of humankind, believe and accept personally, Papa God’s most merciful and gracious provision. Then, let us choose to die daily to self and the sinful desires of the flesh, in order to live victorious and free.
And, finally, always be ever thankful for the wonderful provision of healing, made available to us, because of the afflictions and wounds Jesus endured and took upon Himself! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 05/15- “Papa God’s Great Love For His Most Beloved Creation, Humankind!” (John 3:16)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 05/15- “Papa God’s Great Love For His Most Beloved Creation, Humankind!” (John 3:16)
Premise Question: What should our immediate response be to Papa God’s great overture of love towards us, what actions should follow our response and how should we then comport our daily lives?
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NLT)
For Papa God, the Supreme Ruler—The Creator of Heaven and Earth and everything else created therein, had, and still does have, a profound and great propitious love, a benevolent affection, for all of humankind, His most beloved creation. He voluntarily provided, by furnishing the perfect, efficacious sacrifice, His exclusive, one of a kind Son, who was and is and is to come; who being The Living Word, from before the beginning, became flesh, in order to dwell among us, so that, whoever places their complete faith and trust, their full confidence, in Papa God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who is The Savior/Messiah of the world, shall not ever be destroyed, as they shall never cease to exist or die a spiritual death, but will experience an everlasting, perpetual, ceaseless, without end, eternal life of everlasting joy and tranquil peace! (John 3:16 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Our response to Papa God’s great overture of love towards us should be to immediately believe in and accept His gracious and most merciful provision of an absolutely necessary Redeemer, His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ, as our personal LORD and Savior.
And then, we should, with a heart full of thanksgiving, appreciation and gratitude for His love, mercy and gracious favor and for all that He’s done for us, and will yet do for us, in providing us a new life of eternal joy and peace, along with a sure escape from certain eternal death, punishment and eternal separation from the mighty and magnificently glorious presence of The LORD.
Furthermore, our quick and deliberate actions should be to prepare ourselves and others adequately, in order to send them and to go ourselves, armed with the ability to share, Papa God’s clear and concise message of great joy and good news, with everyone everywhere.
Finally, the daily comportment of our lives should be lived in such a way, that it will bring glory and honor to our LORD, by obeying His Word, desiring and then doing His will, and then living our lives as an offering of spiritual worship and praise unto The King Eternal, The Most High, The Sovereign LORD GOD Almighty—Jesus Christ The LORD!

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 04/18- “Atonement For All!” (Isaiah 55:3)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 04/18- “Atonement For All!” (Isaiah 53:5)
Premise Question: What is Atonement and what is the wonderful impact and beautifully gracious, being most merciful result and blessing it can have upon each of our individual lives, as humankind?
“But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.”
(Isaiah 53:5 NLT)
He, Jesus, became The Atonement for all humankind, by being pierced for our violations of Papa God’s Law, becoming the propitious expiation (the extinguishing of sin and guilt, through abject suffering); thereby, clearing a path and making The Way back to Papa God possible, by the efficacious appeasement of satisfying completely the righteous requirements of Papa God’s Holy Commands. He was humiliated, defaced, deformed and oppressed grievously, because of our wickedness and sin. He endured a punishment that inflicted excruciating pain, which produced horrible suffering, enduring it all just so He could bring us His peace; (a cessation from all toil, turmoil and strife). The wounds He received in His body, now produces and provides life, healing and wholeness in ours. (Isa.53:5 PDCP)
Bottom Line: ATONEMENT-Reconciliation of man back to Papa God through the death of Papa God’s Son, Jesus Christ, upon The Cross. Reparations of wrongs done, by man’s violation of Papa God’s Righteous Law and the complete satisfaction and fulfillment of the righteous requirement of Papa God’s Law, all brought to a conclusion through the act of appeasement, by our Savior’s willing sacrificial offering of His life upon The Cross. He, therefore, with gladness and joy, took our place!
Here is an important and most pertinent question and thought for today:
Do you believe? Believe in Jesus and live, even after you leave this place and die, you’ll live and never die, because you believe in Him! Now is the time, today is the day, to believe…For everyone, meaning anyone, who calls on the name of The LORD Will Be Saved! (Acts 2:21) Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/14- “The Good Work!” (Philippians 1:6)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/14- “The Good Work!” (Philippians 1:6)
Premise Question: What is “The Good Work” that Papa God has begun and will absolutely complete in those of us who’ve believed in Him?
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6 NLT)
For it is an established, as well as, being a verifiable and an incontrovertible, completely reliable fact, that the good work that was initially started in you, by none other than Papa God Himself, when you first believed; will continue to perpetually develop and grow within you, not stopping, until He fully finishes the good work of making you perfect and complete, lacking nothing, which culminates on the day The LORD, Jesus Christ, returns for His own. (Philippians 1:6 PDCP)
Bottom Line: “The Good Work” is the work of redemption, salvation and eternal life! The beginning is at Regeneration, where our spirit was dead, in its transgressions and sins, but because of the work of The LORD, now we can be born again, by our spirit coming to life, through the Regeneration of The Holy Spirit within us. So, in the Regeneration of the spirit, we are saved!
(John 3:1-3) ” You must be born again!” Our spirit is dead because of sin! Our spirit is reborn through Regeneration!
The next part of continuing “The Good Work” is: the process of Sanctification, of the soul, in which, we are being saved! (Philippians 2:12-13) A work in progress for us, but that was accomplished and finished on the cross! Each day we must confront ourselves and choose to die to self, with a reverential awe and holy fear, for The LORD! It absolutely is a humongous battle, but with Papa God’s help, we shall, ultimately, win the war!
“The Good Work” culminates with: The Glorification of the body, in which, we will be saved! (1 John 3:1-3) We may not completely comprehend or fully understand now what we will become, but when we see Him, all will become clear and totally understood, because we will literally be just like Him!
One more word in this little teaching—Justification, for it’s the only reason why we are able to experience Regeneration, Sanctification and Glorification! It’s all because of His great love for us, because of what He accomplished on the cross and His Resurrection and victory over sin, death, hell and the grave!
He became the Atonement for everyone, thereby, justifying all those who will put their trust and hope in Him, meaning that everyone who does, it will be just as if they had never sinned! Wow! Now that is a thorough and complete “Good Work”—Justification! (Romans 8:30-39)
The LORD Jesus Christ has truly provided our escape from eternal death for our total being, spirit, soul and body! Thanks be to Papa God for His incredible Gift! (1Thessalonians 5:23-24) He is faithful and He will complete “The Good Work” that He has begun within each one of us! Blessings…

SCRIPT FOR TODAY: PDCP- 03/10- “So Incredibly Gracious And Kind—That He Bought Our Freedom!” (Ephesians 1:7)
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: Double Entendre (meaning)…(1) A prescription (script) prescribed, by The Great Physician, for us to take each day, for our benefit and (2) A script written, for the purpose of giving direction and guidance to us, for our everyday life, in the way and manner we ought to be conducting our daily lives, given to us, by the Great playwright, in the sky, The Author of all that is good, right, just and holy. Blessings…
SCRIPT FOR TODAY: 03/10- “So Incredibly Gracious And Kind—That He Bought Our Freedom!” (Ephesians 1:7)
Premise Question: Is there ever even a remote possibility, that our sin could ever trump, by being greater than, Papa God’s incredible kindness, His great generosity, magnanimous mercy and gracious favor?
He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. (Ephesians 1:7 NLT)
Papa God, who is infinitely wealthy, having an over abundance of generosity and goodwill towards all humankind; poured out His gracious favor and love upon us, by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, for the divine purpose of shedding His blood, in order to pardon, absolve and release us, from the impossible to pay debt of indebtedness owed, due to our sin. In so doing, Papa God has bought, with His own Son’s shed blood, our liberty and freedom.
(Ephesians 1:7 PDCP)
Bottom Line: Quick, succinct and concise answer to the Premise Question…NOPE! Not even an infinitesimal possibility! His grace is sufficient. (2 Corinthians 12:9) His love always covers. (Proverbs 10:12, 1 Peter 4:8) His grace is greater. (Romans 5:17) He is a good Papa, His love is unfailing, His faithfulness is extended to every generation. (Psalm 100:5) And finally, nothing will ever be able to separate us from Papa God’s love! Nothing or no one! (Romans 8:35:39) Papa God has redeemed us and set us free! Blessings…
