The Blood. Two.

Resurrection, not Re-incarnation!

Jesus physically died and in the same way rose from the grave with the marks of His execution, we know this because of doubting Thomas wanting to see the holes in His hands!

Jesus appeared to Mary the former prostitute in the garden, He appeared to His Disciples, to the men travelling to Emmaus and over 500 people said they saw and met with Him over the forty days between His rising and Ascension back into Heaven.

Jesus was not reincarnated he was the same person on human form and when he returns all who brought those marks on Him will see Him marred.

John 20:26-28,   Galatians 6:17,   1 Peter 1:8,   Revelation 1:7.

Risen from the Dead. Part-Two.

The foundation of the Faith.

If you claim to be a Christian believer, but you do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus? You will have some serious problems in relation to your salvation, because Jesus Victory of death is the key to our New Lives in Him!

The resurrection continues to be the focus of the Disciples and Apostles in their teaching and preaching throughout the New Testament and it lays the basis for our faith.

We all have to die, but for us believers it will be the crossing over into Eternity to be with our Lord and Master Jesus.

Acts 17:3,  Romans 8:34,  1 Corinthians 15:13-14,  20,  Colossians 3:1.

Death and Resurrection. Part-One.

Destiny.

Jesus knew from before He was born in human flesh to the Virgin Mary, that He was destined to die. This is because He was the promised Messiah, first to His own race Israel and then to all in the world who would believe by faith in His works.  Luke chapter 2.

Jesus made it a point to tell His Disciples that he was going up to Jerusalem and on the third day He would arise from the grave.  Matthew 16:21, 17:23, 20:19, Luke 9:22, 13:32, 18:33.

Jesus had to shed His blood, for without blood there can be no removal of sin. Jesus was the perfect man who did not sin, co that He fulfilled the Jewish legal requirements. Hebrews 9:22.

Sexuality. Part-Two.

Jesus.

Many proponents of same sex marriage, who claim to be ‘Christians say ‘that Jesus in his ministry never spoke about homosexuality, but rather that we should practice love and not Judge others or each other.’

But they are wrong, because Jesus does speak about the Sin and the ultimate fate of those who practice it. If we claim to have a faith in Jesus and a relationship with God, we must adhere to His teaching in the bible. The bible says many things, such as not stealing or sleeping with another man wife. some of the language used is very graphic.

But god wants the best for us, if we are left to our devices, choices and selfishness. Then we end up in disaster. The bible is full of such accounts. With the Lord he pointed out a situation,. Later the Disciples and Apostles lead and inspired by the Holy Spirit within them wrote further instructions to the believers.

Matthew 10:15,  11:24,  2 Peter 2:6-8, (Genesis 19:5, 24-25),  Jude 7.

Easter. Part-Two.

Failure.

Many of the Disciples of Jesus believed that they could follow Him any where. Peter boasted about it, but Jesus warned him that he would deny him three times.  Matthew 26:31-35,  Mark 14:27-31,  Luke 22:31-34,  John 13:36-38.

We can all make claims to what we believe in, but when it has to cost us something, fear of man sets in and we all run away. Mark 14:50-51, John 18:15-18, 25-27.

This was just the beginning of a series of events that are part of the Easter Story, all of this was in the will of God.
