Tag: So Jesus

                         

Remember the day when you first saw that someone special.  What was it like ?   You just wanted to show them how much you loved them and wanted to be with them.

 

If you ask someone who had been married for 50 years, how did you do it?

They would tell you, we fell in Love.

It was not always easy; we had our problems along the way, but the harder the problem the harder we worked to get through them.

 

For someone to stay in Love you must be willing to do Cretin things.

 

Willing to admit that you are not always right….

Willing to put your pet project aside in order to see your help mate achieve there goal…

Willing to Listing to your help mate when you have something importance to say…

Willing to take time and just be a friend….

Willing to love, when you are treated with no love in return.   

 

The world just don’t understand what is means to say the word LOVE

 

Just how far would true love go?

There was a song back in the 70tes that said. I walk a million miles, cry a million tear, swim the deepest seas, clime the highest hill, just to have you near me.

 

The problem with people is that when the test comes we often fail. True love knows no boundaries, it knows no limits, it will cross over any obstetrical to get to the one who is Loved.

 

Love is not by what you see              Good looking people

Love is not by what you hear            Good sounding people

Lover is not by how you feel             A feeling can be wrong

 

Love is an expression of giving, the more it is cultivated the more it will grow.

 

John:3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

Love is not taking but Giving, you must be willing to Give in order to stay in Love..

 

Let us Pray !

 

 

What is Salvation?

 

 

The Bible said that all that is needed for our salvation is for a person to except Jesus as their savior.

 

Simply put; Salvation by Faith “All that is needed is simple Faith in the son of God” as my redeemer

 

What does Jesus then tell us to do to show that we love him and have forsaking this world of sin.

 

John 14: 15

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

 

Would it not be correct to say that when you are in love, that you are willing to do anything that someone special asks you to do?

 

John 14: 23

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

 

Jesus is saying that He will come and make his home with you, for if you love me you will show it in your outward works.

 

Works can’t save anyone works only shows the one who you love.  If Jesus is in you then the works of Love will show through you to others.

 

 

John: 15: 10

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

 

Keeping the commandment can’t save us; it is only a way that helps Gods people to stay in his Love with Him. It shows to the world that I have giving my life to the power that is high then I.

 

 

John: 8: 51

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

 

What is he saying here….

 

What type of death is Jesus talking about here in John 8:51.      Do we not all die?

 

Many of the prophets kept Jesus sayings and are dead!

 

Here is where we need to let the Bible and the Bible alone speak for its self

 

Too many times we are told by religious leaders what the Bible is saying. The Bible is wrote in common language so that every man for himself can go and read for himself what God has said.   Never let someone try and tell you what the bible said, read and see if it is so.

 

Rev: 2: 11

 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

 

God’s people, who know the truth, understand that this life is not the death Jesus was talking about. It is the death that comes after the first resurrection, the second death, those who will die a second time in the lake of fire. This is an eternal death that there will be no coming back from.

 

Rev :20: 6

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

 

We all must take part in the first death, if not, how would there be a first resurrection.

The only people who will not take part in the first resurrection will be Faithful Enoch for he walk into heaven, and Elijah who was taken to heaven in a chariot of fire. Even the great Prophet Moses had to pass through the portal of death because of sin. There will also be a group of Christian people living in the last days who will not see death.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:

16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

What a day that will be,    Can you say Amen

 

What a day that will be, to see Jesus coming our of the eastern sky, and hearing him shout to the sleeping Saints, awake my friend for I am coming for you, to give you that reward I have promised, that where I am you will be also.

 

It’s hard to imagine what that day will be like, God people for the passed 6000 years have been laying down their life on the old world.

 

But when the Lord comes they will be awaken, could you imagine standing there looking up and some old Saint saying hey Friend could you please more over a little you are standing on my chest.

 

People who have been buried for Hundreds even Thousands of years going to meet there Lord.

 

If you are a child of God it don’t matter where you die or how you die. Jesus has giving his Angles charge over you, and they have Marked the very spot where you have laid down you life.

 

 

Rev: 20: 14

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

 

Rev: 21: 8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

It is one thing to die on this earth, but quite another thing not to have a part with Jesus and die the second death.

 

Don’t you just love when the Bible answers Questions and not man?

 

What a Gold Mine the Bible is to those who love the Lord.

 

How many preachers do you think would have elaborated on what Jesus was talking about, and each one come-up with a difference Idea about never seeing death? But the word of God makes it so clear.

—————————————————————————-

I was at a Friends Funnel who I knew for many many years, and his wife ask me if I would like to say something. So I got up and told how we got to know each other and a few old boat stories.

 

I then said I am glad he gave his life to Jesus before he died.

 

Then I quoted from 1 Thessalonians 4:

16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 

I then said what a day that will be when we see Jesus coming back and those who have die believing in him will rise on that day, I can’t wait to see my friend again.

 

 

I was giving the worse look you could have ever imagine by a man of the cloth, that church Pastor was angry at me for quoting the Bible in his church.

 

He was mad and then started preaching on 1 Thessalonians 4:16 but when he got to the part that said and the dead in Christ shall rise first

 

He jump over it and went on to verse 17, and saying that, that is why when you die you go straight to Heaven.

 

After the Funnel was over he shook everyone hand but mine…

 

Satan is always looking to lead you away from the truth, and the shame of it all, he uses so called men of God to do it.

 

Jesus said in  Mark:7:7: Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of  (God)    NO the commandments of (men).

 

 

As Christians, from the start satin has been trying to block our way.

He puts roadblocks in our way, but some how we get through with God help.

 

So he digs a pit for us to fall into, it takes a lot of faith to get out of it. Sometimes we loose faith and don’t always make it.

 

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

 

Satin will put many roadblocks in our way. He will use every means possible to lead us the wrong way. Away from the finish line “away from Jesus.”

 

For three and a half-year the disciple followed Christ, yes they love 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”.

 

When Jesus made his way in to Jerusalem his disciple 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 thwart that Jesus would take his place as King of Israel  “But he did not”

 

 

 

Only a few days later in the upper room, after washing the disciple feet and breaking bread and giving them the cup that would represent his blood shed for all mankind.

 

He said one of you would betray me.

 

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

 

 

Jesus knew what he came to do; and because of his infinite Love for us He was willing to give his live in our place,

 

 

STORY:     Jesus In the garden:

 

 

He did not have to go through the pain and suffering, He could have called His Father and he would have send Angles to rescue Him.

 

But then how could he be man substitute

The arrest:  They came out after him as if he was a murderer

The trial:  He was marked and beaten before un-hold men, Even one of His own disciples denied that he even knew Him.  

Then they hung Him on a cross:

 

But here on the cross is what he came to do, to take the place of you and me, to die the death that will bring us life, but now ask yourself WHY?

 

Because of His LOVE for You

Jesus disciples were their 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 bowed his head and die.

 

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

 

Is it over, is it all over they though to them self

 

Their minds were so blinded by Jesus death that they did not remember Jesus saying the 3rd day I am going to 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 weekly Sabbath and a feast day Sabbath” making it a Hi Sabbath:

 

Death by the cross was slow and the Jews did not want the body of Jesus hanging were all could see what they had 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 inGalilee, 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 to a small town called E-may-us, and as they walk they did not notice a 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 thing

 

 

Luke 24: 21

But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemedIsrael: 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 foolish 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? And 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 him self on anyone) he will come in only when he is invited too.

 

As they sat for the evening meal they look

 

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

 

They looked again and low they 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

 

They go to tell the others

 

When they find the disciple 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 scriptures to them and was know in the braking of bread.

 

A voice said 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 dough, 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 he will come back for all that believed in him. All that truly Loved Him, and keeps his commandments, not to be saved by keeping his commandments but because they want to show they Love Him.

 

Let me quote 1 Thessalonians 4: 16 & 17 again

 

1 Thessalonians 4:

16: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

What a promises my brother, do you believe what Jesus said, he is coming back for all who Love him and have kept his commandments to show the World who they Love.

 

I hope that you are there on that beautiful day when Jesus calls all who truly Love Him to come and live with Him in that paradise home he built just for you. Don’t miss it my friend, it is there for all who put Jesus first in their lives.
