He Died for YOU

He Died for YOU

Kim and her six year old son prepared to eat dinner at a restaurant and her son asked if he could say grace. As they bowed their heads, he said “God is good God is great, Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert and liberty and justice for all! Amen.”

 
Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby; Kim heard a woman remark, “That’s what’s wrong with this country. Kids don’t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why I never!”

 
Hearing this, her son burst into tears and asked, Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?”
As his mother held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at the boy and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.” “Really?” her son asked. “Cross my heart,” the man replied.
Then in a theatrical whisper he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started the whole thing), “Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.”Naturally, of course, Kim ordered ice cream for her son at the end of the meal. What happened next came as a complete surprise. Kim explained.
“My son stared at his ice cream a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, ‘Here, this is for you, Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes and my soul is good already.’“The story illustrates the power our words may have upon others, either for good or for bad.
It seems to me that since we want to be ready for Jesus’ coming, we will also want to make the best use of our time. And since part of that preparation involves encouraging and strengthening our fellow believers, and our family members, we will want to be very careful in what we say.


The Bible emphasizes these themes clearly. Satan is like a lion seeking whom he may devour. Troublous times are coming, it tells us. The Lord is coming. Time is indeed a precious commodity. How we treat each other is an important part of that preparation.

Let us Prayer !

Luke 24: 6-7
6: He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7: Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Have you every got something for free?

Somehow every time someone tells me this is free, I find out later that it cost me something in the end.

I had once had a phone call once and the guy on the other end said Hi Mr McNab I have great new for you today, you just won and all expense paid Vacation for two, to the beautiful island of Jamaica.

He said how does that sound I said well that sounds great.

He then started to tell me more about the package and other things I could do while there in Jamaica.

After we were on the phone for about 15 minuets and got all the stuff needed out of the way, he said now all I need to do is to forward him $139.00 for the processing fee and I will be on my way.

Then I said, I thought you said it was free, $139.00 is not free to me.

There is only one thing in this world that is Free and that is salvation, WHY ?

Because Jesus gave his life for you and gave it to you for Free.

But it was not free to God dears Son, he would have to paid the price for you,
Free to you, but it cost the life of God dear son.

John 1

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

If God is so good and if God is so wonderful WHY?

Why did God permit Sin?
Why did he create the earth?
Why did he permit our firth parent to sin?
Why did he make me?

The only answer I have is because of Love

It is a hard question to understand unless you understand what true Love really is all about.

STORY: The Prodigal Son
STORY: The Father Love for his Son

Truth is we are all like the Prodigal Son and God the father is waiting for us and rejoice when one his children except Jesus sacrifice on the cross and come home.

Because the Father Loved his children, even when they ran away His love followed after them, the Father did not say well that’s over, He stayed waiting for the return of his runaway Children

Satan is always trying to keep us from knowing one thing, how much God cares and Loves us.

A few years ago there was a young girl, who brought a friend to church,

As the friend heard the pastor and how much Jesus loves her. This young girl gave her life to God and was baptize.

When the parents found out about it they got angry and got a layer and sue the church. The Court was in favor of the parents because the girl was only 16 and considered a miner

You don’t need parental permission in this country to get an Abortion but you do need it to get Baptize. How amazing!

Is there something wrong with this Picture?  How far have our morals falling in this country

When Noah finished building the Ark, the great door in the side was open and Noah said to the people.

There is safety only in the Ark; soon there will come a flood to destroy the earth.

But no one went in Why? Everyone was too busy with the cares of this world to believe a foolish old man about something that never happened before. Really Rain like if water will float up to the sky and fall down again, impossible.
They all said He is just a crazy foolish old man as everyone laugh at him.

When you except Jesus as your savior can you expect to have problems too. 

Why 1Peter: 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

We will have problems but Jesus will be there to help us through.

Remember Peter for only one second took his eye off Jesus and he started to sink. And like Peter all we have to do is say Lord save me.

Satan will put many roadblocks in our way even people we know. He will use every means possible to lead us the wrong way. And a way from the finish line “away from God.”

Satan hates Jesus and he hates people who love Jesus all the same.

For three and a half-year the deciple followed Christ, yes they loved him. They were also proud to be associated with him.

Jesus said one day let us go to Jerusalem, There the son of man will be betrayed and they will kill him but I will “rise again the third day”.

As Jesus made his way in to Jerusalem his deciple were full of joy as they heard the people saying Ho-san-na blessed is he that comet in the name of the Lord.

Now they thought that Jesus would take his place as King of Israel “But he did not”

And only a few days later in the upper room, After washing the deciple feet and breaking bread and giving them the cup that would represent his blood shed for all mankind.

He said one of you will betray me. When we Sin we too betray Jesus

They could not believe what he just said. “Who witch one of them?”

STORY: In the garden 3 times Jesus came looking for someone who understood
The arrest filthy men put there hands on him as if he were a Thief
The trial they beat him and spit on him
Hung on a cross He said Father forgive them for they no not what they do.

Jesus disciples were there watching him as he hung on the cross. They could not believe that he would let himself be crucified.

All there hopes all their dreams of Jesus being King and they by his side.
There had hoped that he would redeem Israel from the grip of Rome.

But now every thing hung on the cross.

As they looked, they heard Jesus say IT IS FINISH and bow his head and died.

Their hearts almost stop beating when there realized that Jesus was now dead.

Is it over, is it all over they though to themselves.

There minds were so blinded by Jesus death that there did not remember Jesus saying the 3rd day I will rise again

John 19:31
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

That Sabbath day was a special Sabbath day
It was a hi-day “it was the Sabbath and a feast Sabbath” making it a Hi-Sabbath

Death by the cross was slow and the Jews did not won’t the body of Jesus hanging were all could see what religious leaders done.

Jesus Disciples watched as Joseph and Nickodemos remove the body of Jesus and place it in a tomb and seal it.

In the book of Luke 24:1-7

1. Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices, which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
6. He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
7. Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

That evening two of the disciples were walking, and as they walk they did not noted the man walking with them.

Till he said what kind of communications are these that ye have one to another, as walk and are sad

One said to him art thou only a stranger here in Jerusalem and have you not know what had come to pass in the last days.

Jesus said what things

Luke 24:
21. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the “third day” since these things were done.

Jesus looked with love in his heart and said O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

God with usAnd beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

They felt hope as he talks for it is what Jesus would have said

As they reach there home they invited him in but he did not except but they said the day is far-spent come and enter and spend the night

So Jesus went in (our savior does not force himself on anyone) he will come in only when he is invited to.

As they sat for the evening meal they look

Their companion spreads forth his hand in the exactly the same way their master used to do.

They look again and low they now see in his hands the prints of NAILS
Both exclaim at once it is the lord Jesus. But he vanished out of sight.

As they look at each other and said did not our heart burned with in us as he talked with us.

They go to tell the others

When they find the disciples and knock for entrance and the door open for them and another unseen enter in with them.

As the disciples tell that they seen Jesus and how he open the scripture to them and was know in the braking of bread.

They heard a voice saying PEACE BE UNTO YOU.

They started back in terror for his radiance fills the place; Love was shining from him it was coming out his face.

Then he spoke the word of love that left no need for douth, and just because he knew our heart he spoke our feeling out.

Why are you so troubled why are you in fear; see my hand and see my feet for I my self am here. Reach out now and handle me till all of you been shore.

My life is more then spirit for I am here in flesh and bones.

Before Christ left he made a promise that he will come back for all that believed in him

STORY; The little Girl and her new doll
She wonted to give the best she had

God the Father gave the best heaven could give his son Jesus Christ

God gave his life for all who by Faith will believe & Trust in Him

 
What a shame that so many will pass-up the opportunity to accept Jesus as their savior and accept His free gift of eternity Life.

All because they are too busy with the cares of this world to believe a foolish story about something they believe never happened. A God dyeing for me impossible, they are all crazy and foolish people, as the world laugh.

But when the door of the ark closed and it started to rain, it was too late.

Forgiveness is free for who will believe, but it was not cheap! Jesus had to die to pay the price for you and me.
