Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 (KJV) reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

A Certain Someone

The Words of 
Jesus the Christ
the Son of God:

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said, among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner; this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had hear his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.-Matthew 21:33-46***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God sent the angel Gabriel to Mary, a virgin, and the angel Gabriel told Mary that she was going to conceive a Son of the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost), and the Son is to be named Jesus, and will be called the Son of the Most High. Joseph was the craftsman pledged to wed Mary. An 
angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph and told Joseph not to be afraid to receive Mary as his wife, and told Joseph that the child in Mary's womb was conceived of the Holy Spirit, and is to be named Jesus, and Jesus will save his people from their sins. In Bethlehem, Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, was born into the tribe of Judah  to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Shortly thereafter, an angel of the Lord stood near a group of shepherds and told them that a Savior, Christ the Lord was born, and a multitude of angels suddenly appeared, proclaiming a divine message. Through divine revelation of the Holy Spirit, Simeon in Jerusalem was able to see and hold Jesus, the Christ of the Lord. On the 8th day after Jesus was born, Jesus was circumcised. During the 12th year after Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary found Jesus in the temple in Jerusalem, listening, asking, understanding, and answering. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world, and testified that Jesus is the Son of God. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men, including Andrew and Simon Peter, to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Notably, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist, and identified Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, and Simon Peter identified Jesus as the Christ of God, the Son of the living God. Some Israelites identified Jesus as a great prophet, and other Israelites identified Jesus as the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven. Throughout the following years, Jesus was identified as the spiritual rock, and a great high priest, and the author and finisher of our faith.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 1 Corinthians 10:1-33, Hebrews 4:1-16, 12:1-29

Reference Scriptures:
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.-Psalm 118:22-23
