Stopped and Stood

And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen among us; and, That God hath visited his people.-Luke 7:11-16***Approximately 30 years after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and born into the Israelite tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and Jesus went to Galilee. Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. Some Israelites began to recognize the identity of Jesus. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, and Jesus is the spiritual rock. Aaron and Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi. Over 1,400 years before Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Aaron and Moses were born to Amram and Jochebed. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness, according to the commands of the Lord God. The spiritual rock followed the Israelites during their 40-year journey to the Promised Land. Jesus is judge of the living and dead. Jesus is and an advocateand  mediatorand Prophet, and author of eternal salvation, and founder and perfecter of faith. Jesus is the Word, the Alpha and the Omega, the Lamb of God, the Messiah. Jesus is the bread of life, the light of the world, the true vine, the good shepherd and the doorJesus is the Chief Shepherd, the Shepherd and Overseer, the Righteous One, and the resurrection and the lifeJesus is the way and the truth and the life. Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, the apostle and high priest, a great high priest, and Savior, and Jesus is LordJesus is the Lord of glory. Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, is the King of kings and Lord of lords.-Genesis 1:1-4:26, 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-8:4, 9:1-10:48, 1 Corinthians 2:1-16, 10:1-33, Philippians 2:1-30, Colossians 1:1-29, 1 Timothy 2:1-15, 6:1-21, Hebrews 4:1-16, 12:1-29, 1 Peter 2:1-25, 5:1-14, 1 John 1:1-2:29, Revelation 1:1-20, 17:1-18, 22:1-21
