REMEMBER: You Are DUST, and to DUST You Shall Return

REMEMBER:

You are dust, and to dust you shall return.

REPENT,

and believe the GOSPEL+. 

+  +  +

ALMIGHTY GOD . . .

THOU hast created us out of the dust of the earth. 

Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and repentance, that we may remember that it is ONLY by Thy gracious gift that we are given Everlasting Life, through JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOR+.  Amen.

+  +  +

ALMIGHTY and Everlasting GOD Who hates nothing that THOU hast made and Who forgiveth the sins of all who  heartily repent; 

  Create in me a clean heart, O GOD; 

and renew a right spirit within me. 

That I, lamenting my sins and acknowledging my wretchedness before THEE, 

May obtain of THEE, the GOD of all mercy and truth, a perfect remission of my sins, 

Through The LAMB+ of GOD, JESUS CHRIST our LORD, 

WHO+ lives and reigns with THEE and Thy HOLY SPIRIT, 

ONE ELOHIM,

to the ages of the ages. 

Amen.  

+  +  +

 Repent, and be baptized 

every one of you 

in the name of JESUS CHRIST

for the remission of sins, 

 and ye shall receive the gift 

of the HOLY SPIRIT. 

Acts 2:38

+  +  +

Ashes to ashes, 

dust to dust 

in sure and certain hope 

of the resurrection 

unto Eternal Life, 

through  

Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA , 

our LORD. 

+  +  +

 

HE+ SHALL PURIFY...

Behold, I will send My messenger, 

and he shall prepare the way before ME:

and the LORD, whom ye seek, 

shall suddenly come to His+ temple,

even the Messenger of the Covenant, 

whom ye delight in: 

behold, HE+ shall come, 

saith the LORD of Hosts.

But who may abide 

the day of HIS+ Coming?

and who shall stand 

when HE+ appeareth? 

for HE+ is like a refiner's fire, 

and like fullers' soap:

And HE+ shall sit as a refiner 

and purifier of silver: 

and HE+ shall purify the sons of Levi, 

and purge them as gold and silver, 

that they may offer unto the LORD

an offering in righteousness.

+  +  +

Now the GOD of peace, 

that brought again from the dead 

our Lord JESUS,  

that Great Shepherd+ of the sheep, 

through the Blood 

of the Everlasting Covenant,

Make you perfect in every good work to do HIS will, working in you that which is well pleasing in HIS sight, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.

 to whom be glory for ever and ever. 

Amen. 

Hebrews 12:20-21

The Time of the Preparation for the GREAT PASSOVER is upon us once more. 

Repentance is due now .  .  .

for WHO may abide 
the Day of HIS+ Coming ?  

As the people of YHWH were in the wilderness 40 years, as Our LORD JESUS CHRIST was in His+ wilderness being tempted by the devil for 40 days, let us SET ASIDE these next 40 days before HOLY WEEK and even now, remove the leaven out of our hearts and homes and lives.  

As followers of JESUS,  we know HE+ forgives the repentant one.  But let us walk these days in the awareness that we are mortal: 

"Remember: you are dust 

and to dust 

you shall return," 

REPENT and 

BELIEVE the GOSPEL.
