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.

Crown of Thornes. Part-Three.

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?

Matthew 27:51-55,  Mark 15:38,  Luke 23:45.

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.

Matthew 27:35,   Mark 15:20,   Luke 23:33,    John 19:18,   Romans 6:6,    1 Corinthians 2:8,   Hebrews 12:2.

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.

Easter. Part-Four.

‘Nailed.’

They took him out and beat Him, the Roman soldiers mocked Him, then they forced Him to carry His stake to the place outside the city of Jerusalem. There He was nailed to a cross bar and lifted up on to the stake, one either side of Him were two murderers, thieves. They even joined in the mockery, but one recanted and asked the Messiah for mercy.  Matthew 27:27-56,   Mark 15:16-41,   Luke 23:26-49,   John 19:16-37.

Jesus promised he would be in glory with Him soon.  Luke 23:42-43.

Where will you be this Easter as you eat your chocolate eggs? Will you continue to join the crowds mocking and laughing at Jesus? Will you continue in your empty traditions of even going to ‘Church?’

Or will you finally see yourself, change your attitudes and walk with Him, not looking back?  John 6:29,   Romans 10:9,   Amos 5:4.

Easter. Part-One.

Betrayal.

Easter is not just what it has become, about bunny’s, chicks and chocolate eggs.

Easter is about the death of Jesus the one and only Son of God, for the eternal Salvation of all who have and are and will place their trust in Him by faith.

Today we live in an anti-God society, full of selfishness and pleasure, religion is being pushed aside, especially ‘Christianity.’ In the failure of others (Sin) we have found a way to make excuses, but this only to cover up our own failings.

Judas was an idealist, he wanted Jesus to be that great promised King, who would rid the Roman rule of Israel and restore the Kingdom. But he was also a pilfering thief. His motives done for money, he believed would reveal divine power at work. But he was blinded by his own logic and greed.

Matthew 10:4,  Luke 22:3,  John 6:71,  13:29,  18:2.
