EASTER! Two.

‘What is Truth?

Many people today no longer bother with the truth, they live or exist in a world of lies and selfish want?

So we learn that it was the same in the Roman Empire, people were out for themselves and truth had no place or very little?

Jesus offered Pilate salvation, Jesus revealed his purpose for coming, but Pilate failed to comprehend and thus refused!

But he still knew that Jesus was an innocent man and that the religious leaders had Pilate in their pocket, so he rationalised to please them but other wise he was left doubting for the many years to come?

This salvation is still available and is waiting for all who will trust today!

John 3:11, 18:37-38, 1 John 3:19-20, Revelation 3:20.

EASTER! One.

Jesus reveals Himself to Pilate!

These two verses reveal much about the Lord and it would be wise to read Isaiah 53 today slowly and consider what Jesus has done for us who are born-again!

Easter and Christianity has many traditions and they way they see Jesus most of the time is not based on the Bible, but rather the feeling and impression of what we want Him to be?

Jesus does not claim Kingship of Himself, but rather confirms what Pilate the Roman says, He also reveals His Kingdom and his purpose of coming into the World!

These few lines sum up his role for us as much as the twelve verses in Isaiah 53!

Psalm 22:6-7, Isaiah 53:2, 12, Mark 9:11-13, John 18:37-38, 1 John 3:19-20.

Pastoring!

The role of the Minister and all believers?

In the daily life of Ekklesia much is placed on those at the head to lead the members of the congregation, but we forget that ministering is a shared role and as believers we have much to offer in the comforting of friends within and outsiders too!

Organization and denomination must not be a block to encouragement, to comfort in pain, death and illness, since we are all of one family who have faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus our Lord while also knowing that we have ben forgiven our past failings and are free to Eternity, if we remain faithful and right with God?

Colossians 3:1-6, Matthew 16:23, John 11:25-26, Romans 6:2, Colossians 4:2-6.

The Genome!

DNA Profiling, Medical history/prediction and racial Profiling?

If Nazi Germany had what we have today, Hitler would have discovered that one in four of the nation had Jewish roots and maybe even his own line too!

Genetics have proved essential in police and intelligence work, medicine and the prediction of illness, unless one is run over by a bus, involved in an air collision and so on?

Racial profiling has become an obsession for some to find out where they come from and there have been some surprising, if not uncomfortable truths to face up to? White people are not so white after all and facial details, color of skin can mean very little to what is revealed about us in our DNA!

God made us in His likeness and that is why Jesus His one and only Son was sent into the world, so that by faith in His death, resurrection, ascension and return we might be saved?

John 3:16, Psalm 80:7, 139:14, 2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 3:5.

Humanism, rationalism and Secularism?

The new religion of the State!

The way that politicians now talk is not of God or Jesus, but of pluralism and the three ism’s in the title of this post?

The Church or one should say Churches sit on their hands compromising sin and then wonder why the nation is in a mess, maybe many don’t since they are too comfortable to care?

Media and advertising hide it with everything but the essential truths, but secretly many of them will have a holy Christmas!

Last year many of us could not get to distressed loved ones and the pain of that genocide of grief as old people died in agony, while our leaders partied and jested about the fools who would never know?

Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:7, 12, 14, John 3:3, 17-18, 2 Corinthians 10:4, Colossians 2:8, 1 Timothy 3:16.

christmas Story!

How relevant today is the authority of Jesus?

With the gay and transgender movement, a breakdown in society and corruption, dishonesty in government, probably not a lot!

But this changes nothing in relation to the word of God, the authority that comes with Jesus virgin birth, death on the cross and His rising from the will Eternally remain the same!

His Ascension, the giving of the Holy Spirit to believers and promised return, opens events for Armageddon and the Day of Judgement at the end when the world will see Jesus-God as the Judge of humanity?

We need to follow God and remember His laws do not change, but for us who are saved He has fulfilled the Law for us!

Isaiah 7:11-14, 9:1-7, 53:1-5, Luke 1:35, Romans 8:32, Ephesians 1:21-22, Hebrews 1:8, 13:20.

Ignoring Biblical Truth?

We will do what we want to do!

This is the statement of the age with the Ekklesia in relation to homosexuality and thus the sins of the nation that the world believe is right, if Christians break their own laws?

One has to keep pointing out these truths to a dead Church, that keeps disobeying God and justifying sin when they must know the truth, otherwise the clergy are not really saved by the blood of Jesus?

There is much arrogance now, but a day of Judgement is coming when we have to give account to Him of our actions!

The moral ground on COP26?

‘Silence of the Lambs!

They were neither invited or they sat back to see what profit was in all of this for them?

Climate protestors have seen many Church people acting in a unwise way in blocking roads and disrupting the lives of the self-employed, proving to us that many of the clergy have never done a real day of hard work but rather spent time thinking about nothing and having an easy life?

For many of us on the frontlines of service this is of course far from the truth, dealing with the emotional states of people, violence directed at us by the guilty and also helping people get their rights in a indifferent world is tough enough!

Sadly there is no moral ground when it comes to making money, but investing and using it we can have some flexibility?

Then again looking a Coulson the slave trader we have another problem with our moral compass!

Exodus 23:7, Ester 3:4, Luke 16:15, Acts 28 :18, Romans 3:30, 2 Corinthians 8:24.

People lack of knowledge of God?

Why!

Because Christian ministry is more interested in themselves, in being gay, in justifying sin and so they are no longer able to preach the Good News message of Jesus, whom they now deny by their actions!

The world and society is looking on and saying to themselves, ‘Well men think they are woman and all the rules are broken, why cannot I kill whom a I want too?

Is that a too harsh claim, tough because it is true and the gap between the rich and the poor is growing, a situation similar to both the rise of Lenin in Russia 1917 and Hitler 1928, when the poor had enough of the rich?

Will it happen here in the west, probably not, but what will happen is anarchy, which if today is not terror related will be the norm and why not, when no one is giving the nation a moral compass!

Isaiah 5:13, Hosea 4:6, Matthew 12:35, Luke 1:53. Philippians 4:8, Titus 2:10.

Kindness?

Lacking even in Ekklesia?

We may tend to think this is an old fashioned term, but it is not and it is something more of we need today amongst all believers and in the world too!

Sometime we will meet nice people who will help us and there are still a few out there and not all are Christians, but they do the right thing, help pay at the till when we are short of money, give us a bit of petrol for the car when we have not enough and even help us with a breakdown at the side of the road?

We too may show the same kindness and be richly returned as mentioned above, this is what God wants for us to do, to do what His son did to live like Him and stop being selfish, indifferent and hating from hurts!

Romans 2:4, 12:8, 2 Corinthians 6:6, 9:9, Galatians 5:22, Colossians 3:12, 1 John 2:5-6.
