The Darkness. Two.

Risen from the Dead!

It is still hard for many believers who accept that Jesus has died for their failure to then believe that the Man-God rose from the dead on the third day?

The challenge of faith is to believe in the impossible and then apply it, this is much more than just trusting it is proving God to be true to His word!

Without the resurrection, there can be no Salvation, no overcoming the sting of death and no entering into the promised New Life! Over five-hundred people witnessed Jesus in Israel between His rising on the third day and His Ascension back to heaven!

John 11:25,   Acts 10:39,   Philippians 3:10,   Hebrews 11:1-3,  1 Peter 1:23.

The Darkness. One.

Exodus and Easter.

God made His presence known on these two important occasions of deliverance for His people Israel from their slavery in Egypt and for our individual deliverance by Jesus shedding of blood on the cross/stake/tree for our sins!

God in His character is not dark, but rather pure light, truth and holiness and without sin, but we are told something of that dwelling place that we can never enter and that is a place of darkness!

This time of the year should be one of reflection on our own calling and salvation, while also hoping and praying for those lost around us that they might see the light that Jesus offers and turn to Him in confession and repentance of their own failures, seeking His forgiveness?

Genesis 1:2,   Exodus 10:21-22,   2 Samuel 22:10-12,   Psalm 18:11,   Matthew 27:45.

Mind, heart and Soul. Two.

The cost of Refusing?

Life is what we make it and death is something like birth, we have no choices in the matters? But what most religions fail to tell their believers is the truth, about the one creator God and what happens after death?

Some claim we are suspended in the heavens, another says that if we kill ourselves for the cause men will get one-hundred virgins and still others claim that there is a half-way point or being good we will be on cloud nine for Eternity?

All of these ideas and concepts are wrong, because they are not mentioned in the Holy bible! We must first see our fallen condition and seek God for His forgiveness, then we must change our attitude towards Him and try not to return to our old ways?

Genesis 1:8,  Exodus 9:23,  2 Chronicles 2:6,  6:23,  Job 11:8,  Psalm 11:4,  53:2,  Matthew 5:3,  13:44,  Mark 12:25,  14:62,  John 1:51,  Romans 1:18,  1 Corinthians 6:9,  Galatians 1:8.

It’s Hurricane season Again. One.

Harvey, Irma, Katia and Jose!

Four storms in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, that have caused utter devastation and loss of life! But the Monsoon rains in India, Nepal and Bangladesh another annual event, has left nearly two-thousand people dead?

Nature is a beast, when it is at its worst?

Has humanity allowed this too happen by the burning of fossil fuels that are heating up the world and has N-Koreas Hydrogen bomb test effected the Earths crus to cause a 8.2 Magnitude Earth Quake to shake Mexico and Central-America today?

Science deals with seen and believing facts, Faith deals with the aftermath of the humans Spiritual condition and standing with God! Psychology opens us up tour problems, but Faith in God is the only power in the universe that can heal and put us right again!

Isaiah 17:13,  Job 9:6,  Proverbs 3:8,  Matthew 4:23,  Luke 6:19,  Hebrews 12:26,  Revelation 22:2.

Take Heed. Part-Two.

‘I Want?

Temporary pleasure is not worth loosing out on the Eternal joy of a personal relationship with Jesus? We are a bought or purchased people, by the offering of the blood of Jesus for our remission of past sins!

Jesus blood was not a transfusion life giving blood, it was being accused on false charges an innocent perfect man and being beaten so that His back was like a ploughed field! All this was before being nailed to the cross, between two men who were murderers!

So when we desire or we want, we need to stop and think again on the cost that our Lord paid for us? So that we do not throw away those pears to swine for a moments pleasure and the filth that is an abomination to God our Father?

Psalm 147:3,  Isaiah 53:5-6,  Matthew 5:20,  Romans 6:22,  2 Corinthians 6:17,  Ephesians 5:9.

Mind Set. Part-Two.

Prisoner or Free?

Where are we today with God? Are we still in the world of darkness and sin or have we seen our need to repent and turn to Jesus and be set Free? it is our will and our selfishness that controls our lives, but it is Satan who is our real Master?

If we glimpse that need that we need to get right with God, then we must act upon it to seek Him and know that we are forgiven! Jesus died for us, not because we deserved it but rather that God could by us back to him through the blood of the final atonement!

The choices lay with us, wither we choose today or deny and face tomorrow in Eternal Damnation, separated from God Eternally?

John 3:3,  14-21,   8:32,   14:6,   Romans 3:22-23,   6:22-23.

The revelation of Jesus. Two.

Passover Lamb.

We are about to celebrate Easter in the Christian world, the most important time of the year after Christmas? But these events in historical time covered some thirty-three years and much of these years little is known about Jesus?

Believers in the early Church as mentioned in the New Testament books referred to our Savior as our Passover Lamb, this points to their Jewishness or Israelites that they considered themselves to be!

Blood has always been required by God for the cleansing of failure/sin, but the death of Jesus shedding made the final atonement possible! We now take communion only in remembrance of His death and await His return with the promised hope of Salvation.

Romans 3:23,   6:23,   1 Corinthians 5:7,   Isaiah 53:7-10.
