THE THREE CHEERS

Do you need cheering up today? Has life been wearing you down a bit lately? If so, I thought we’d look at the three cheers of Jesus and hopefully they will do what He intended them to do and cheer us up too.😊

Matthew 9:2 NKJV Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”

1ST CHEER - The Power of God to forgive sins and the power to heal. Jesus says, “Cheer up!”  Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever and so what He said then still applies to us now.😊

                                                                                ***

Matthew 14:27 NKJV But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

2ND CHEER - the Presence of God. We can cheer up because Jesus is with us in the person of the Holy Spirit. He’s always with us and He will never abandon us! (Hebrews 13:5) No matter what we face, or what we’re afraid of, we’re never on our own. God is right there with us in the trouble.😊

                                                                                ***

John 16:33 NKJV These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

3RD CHEER - the Promise of God. We have the promise of peace in the trouble and the ability to overcome it through Jesus. 

                                                                                ***

Jesus has forgiven us our sins and paid for our healing, we have His presence at all times no matter what the trouble, and such a wonderful promise of peace and overcoming ability.

The Power, the Presence, and the Promise of God. Jesus has given us three reasons to cheer up, now can I encourage us all to give Him everything that’s pulled us down, and just believe what He says and let Him cheer us up too. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x😊
