Darkness fell and people were saved.

What a day is Good Friday, today Jesus died for you and me. He chose by His own free will to be nailed to the tree for us.

Today two thousand years ago darkness came over Israel, there were strange events. But depite all this things, two men who were not worthy of God’s mercy were saved today.

The theif on the cross and the Roman soldier, who was standing guard. A murderer and a man who helped nail Jesus up.

What are you going to do with your masked existance this Easter?

Crown of Thorns. Part-Two.

Nailed on the Cross for Us.

This is the final act of atonement, Jesus is nailed on the tree/stake/cross for us. He has taken our Sin and failure upon His own body and if we believe in Him by faith, we to are set free from death through His Resurrection.

Jesus died as much for Israel as He died for the world, His death opened a new covenant for all who would believe in Him.

There is no other way to be saved, this easter please consider these matters and make the right choices to give your life to Him?

To be a believer in Jesus is much more than going to Church, it is not about keeping rules, instead it is about pleasing God and being obediant to His word the bible. it is the beginning of a New Life.

Crown of Thorns. Part-One.

Tortured for Us.

Jesus had to go this way to the cross/Stake/Tree, there was no other way for Him to make the Atonement by His blood for our failure and sin.

Pilate did his best to save this innocent and perfect man, but the religious leaders of Israel wanted Him dead.

But it was all in the will of God, that His only Son Jesus would go this way for us.

Isaiah 53:5,   John 19:2-3,  5,   1 Peter 2: 21-24,   3:18.

His Story. Part-Two.

The Holy Bible.

As believers in the death, resurrection and return of Jesus, the Messiah and King of Israel the Perfect man who was wounded for us. We have a book about how to live life and please  the God who has saved us from Eternal damnation. God has laid out in this book that we call the Holy bible human history, from the beginning to the end.

The book tells us what God wants from us and what He does not approve of, this is called Sin. Though we may be saved, we still will have problems with sinning, but we can call on His Son Jesus to help us.

God’s story is hard, but it will be fulfilled or completed in His way and time and man in all his cleverness will not be able to stop it.

This week there are no scripture, because you must read it for your self.

His Story. Part-One.

We Must Never Forget!

We could now be on the verge of another European war with the new Russian Federation, over the fate of the Ukraine. The problems that we face as believers is that of an illegal Ukrainian Revolution, with an un-elected government being recognised in a legitamate way by the leaders of the United States and the European Union.

Over one hundred policemen were battered to death in Kiev, but many leading politicians have accepted the will of the people. Here in many European countries, this type of violence to overthrow a system or government, would not be accepted.

The last time duplicity was used, was by the German Nazi Dictator, Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1945. Many millions of people died in a World Warthat was  fought on many fronts, but essentially it was for the unification of Europe.

ROBOTS. Part-Two.

Humanities Greed.

From science fiction to reality, many aspects of the Robot has many good and practical uses. But then comes the horror of something going wrong! This stems from mans greed, the wanting of more and more.

With a mass production line, comes the cutting of corners and saftey. We already have seen this in trains, aircraft, shipping such as the Titanic. Many disaster, including bad management in relation to the Space Shuttle crashing.

Humanity continues to practice slavery today on different levels, but it all comes back to greed and selfishness.

Proverbs 30:15,   Matthew 23:25,   Mark 7:21-22,   1 Peter 2:15.

ROBOT’s. Part-One.

Invented and built by Humans.

The Robot in science-fiction has been around for a long time, but today many aspects of our daily lives are controlled and influenced  by robotic engineering! But most of us are not even aware of any of it going on around us. The origins of the word ‘robot comes from a Russian word, meaning a servant and was really first used by the great Sci-Fi writer Isaac Asimov.

Today robots are used in a host of fields, such as the nuclear industry, automated car production lines and auto-pilots in aircraft, helicopters and shipping. These can be best described, as pre- programmned machines.

But things are changing at a rapid rate, as the first Asimo robots are now coming into service both as expensive toys and research tools.

There new lines are self thinking machines, their brains work on the minds of mice and they rely on touch. One new device is the wall to wall hoovering model, which is left on the floor to its own devices.

Genesis 12:16,   Psalm 102:16,   Matthew 13:27.

History. Part-One.

Conflicts and Wars.

This is a part of the human condition Sin, it leads us to do what we want to without considering the outcome at a later point. Humanity has always had the problem of disagreements from the family tiff to political, religious rows. Usally someone has offered their services of mediations and this has calmed the situation down.

But as we have seen on our televisons recently many lands are going through various phases of Revoloutions, with horrible violence. It is almost always the woman and children that suffer in these situations. Apart from the Arab Spring, the world is seening rioting and terror in Venuzuela, Thailand, Bosnia, Turkey and now the Ukraine.

Many of these conflicts have a deep rooted Sectarianism to them, which the Media is desperatly trying to hide from us with other names. Despite all of this as believers in Jesus, we have to push on through showing no favoritism. Instead we need to pray for a resolve quicly and a restoration of elected government.

Psalm 2:2,   Ecclesiastes 7:19,   Romans 13:3,   Ephesians 6:12,   Titus 3:1.

Ideology.

Ideology, the ideas of men.

When we look at the world today we are drawn to think of the many closed lands and societies, that do not have or want to have our concepts and what we describe as freedoms.

These nations seem to be closed and controlled, such as North-Korea, China, Cuba and yet there are many lands near and far who practice similar conditions, such as Saudi-Arabia, Iran, Algeria, Sudan, Belarus and the list could go on and on.

Many follow the ideology of men and the party or a system or a king, religion or great leader. Some keep to the ethical code of their revolution. But what does mark them out is all who oppose must be imprisoned for a long time or killed.

It is valuable to read books in relation to Ray Bradbury and Farenheight 451 and George Orwells 1984, with the various films. Both these men were writing about conditions in 1938-1948. They were trying to warn us that any society can turn from what it is now into an idelogical dictatorship.

My Valentine. Part-Two.

Practice.

We are at this day of romance and love, but in these islands and also in N-America many will not be able to get together tonight or even this weekend. Love is not all about meals, cars, romance and roses, especially when we who have faith in Jesus know it is much more.

Today and throughout the next few days we will have the opportunity to share the love of Jesus within us, with those around us. This may be in providing a free place of rest, someone to confide in, cooking meals and so it goes on.

We must not let ourselves be selfish in these acts, expecting a big thank you. Instead we must just do it not expecting anything in return.

Matthew 5,  5:40-48.
