PSSSST ..HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOSSIP ABOUT JESUS?

Psssst have you heard the gossip about Jesus? Yeah, I heard it but I went to the book and found out it is not written. Jesus was not poor or broke or homeless. He did not wear second hand clothes and he did not go dumpster diving for dinner. He was born in a stable which seems to indicate poverty but the truth is that Joseph had the money to provide a room at the Hilton but it was sold out, there wasn't even a room at the Econo Lodge. He had no choice but the stable. When Herod wanted to kill all the babies from 2 years up God warned Joseph in a dream to flee to Nazareth. Joseph had the money to flee to another land and get them a house to live in..........then the three Kings came with gifts.....yes you heard me right the three Kings were not at the stable the night of his birth they were following the star that appeared on the night of His birth. They came to the house in Nazareth. They brought gifts, wealth with them for the babe. Do you remember when the queen of Sheba came to Solomon the richest King on the earth she brought him gifts of the riches of the Kingdom.... A caravan.....do you think 3 Kings would travel especially with wealth without guards and soldiers into an unknown country. They brought enough wealth to support Jesus and His family for years to come. He had a traveling ministry of 12 men plus the women who followed Him and for a time 70 more. His ministry was so prosperous He put the thief in charge of the bag. As for Him being homeless the religious crowd uses the scripture the birds of the air have nests and foxes have holes but the son of man has not to lay His head. That does not mean Jesus was homeless. That is a kingdom scripture. Jesus is the head of the church the church is His body. He had no body of believers to lay His head on. Jesus had a house. The word says the disciples asked Him,WHERE IS YOUR HOUSE AND HE SAID COME AND SEE. Jesus did not shop for clothes at the local Salvation Army. The coat He wore on the day of His crucifixion was so valuable the soldiers gambled for it. It was a coat fit for a KING. Jesus did not go without meals nor those with Him. Just because he ate green corn out of the fields and helped Himself to the fig tree was the exception not the rule. He could feed five thousand with two fish and five loaves. He could order the sea to give up enough of a catch to sink the boat. So beloved don't waste your time with the rumors....open the book and read the truth.....God would not send His son to earth and not provide for him when His message was that God is the provider... Trust Him with your needs. Glory to the Holy one of Israel!
