THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Billy Graham was given a limousine in which to ride. After speaking in the engagement, the driver was taking him home. Mr. Graham had never driven a limousine, and asked to do so. The chauffeur allowed it since they were on the freeway.
As he began to drive, the limousine was so quiet, before he knew it, they were traveling at 80mph! A state policeman pulled them over. When the state policeman saw Mr. Graham's license, he went back to his car to make a radio call. He said, "I need the supervisor, we have a VERY important person here!"
Supervisor, "Who is it, the President?"
Policeman, "No. MORE important."
Supervisor, "Well, WHO?"
Policeman, "I'm not sure, but his chauffeur is Billy Graham. I think it may be JESUS!"

Matt 19:16
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
KJV
*********************************************************************************************
JESUS is this "Good Master!" Indeed, He is Master of all, and master of my soul! Is He not GOOD MASTER?
He is GOOD! He has been so good to me! He has saved me from sin, promised eternal heaven, and is present with me every day. He calms the "storm" of the world around me and gives me peace. All the good that I have has descended from Him.
His presence is not demeaning toward me, but rather is open and loving. I find at His feet the perfect place for my soul. There is such peace in His grandeur.
He is RABBI, MASTER TEACHER. His teachings for my edification are above reproach. His doctrine is divine, and His manner is kind and gentle. There is no error in His instruction. His words are as pure gold to my soul. All His instructions lead to sanctifying my soul, and giving me wisdom for right decisions.
And He is MASTER of all. He turns the world, or stops the world at His divine will. He keeps the planets moving in perfect symetrical patterns. Indeed the entirety of the universe is suspended and held by His WORD!
And He is MASTER of who I am. He beats my heart and causes me to breath. Without Him, I would be nothing. I will gladly be His servant.
Oh! Come! Come my friends and own Him as your Master. His grace and mercy are conduits through which He grants: salvation, justification, sanctification, and ultimately glorification.
Love ya,
