EASTER. Two.

Cross and Tomb!

Jesus died on the cross/stake/tree between two criminals, murderers who deserved this death!

Many events took place around that Roman torture peg, darkness for three hours, Jesus promising the repentant sinner paradise!

When Jesus died he was laid in the tomb of a rich man Joseph of Arimathae, one of the many secret believers in that time!

Today this same message is as powerful as the events on that day, we see many movie depictions of these events! There have been thousands upon thousands of books written over the last nineteen-hundred years, taking a standpoint from every possible position?

But today is another opportunity for you to choose wither you will repent, confess, seek forgiveness and walk with Jesus?

Luke 22:20,  23:43,  Matthew 27:45,  John 8:12,  Isaiah 1:18-19,  53:12,  2 Corinthians 3:4-6,  5:18-19.

EASTER. One.

Garden of Tears.

If you ever get the opportunity to visit the Holy land on one of those Church tours, this is one place worth visiting! It is not much, but for believers it is great place to remember the cost that Jesus paid for us, even the shedding of tears to blood and that well before the Cross/stake/tree!

Jesus went to pray on that little hill and He took His Disciples, of course he knew the sequence of events that were to follow! He knew those loyal men were weak and physically tired and would fall asleep! He knew what Judas was up to and the men of violence were on their way!

With this we open the events of three days that have changed the world, because of the so many individuals who lives like our who have been changed for evermore! The question is what are you going to do with this opportunity to seek, confess, and repent of your failure?

Knowing that a loving unconditional God will forgive you and never bring to book again that sin?

Luke 22:39-47,   John 12:27,   18:1-9,   Romans 8:32,   Hebrews 5:7.

Disibility? Part-One.

Is not a Limitation!

Many people today forget that to be disabled is not a loss that it once was to an individual? We  are seeing this with the Para-olympics and in many other sports fields, but there are as many people working daily across the professions that are disabled in some way but they are not limited to what can be achieved?

The Bible tells us about many conditions that people were able to live with, such as lameness in the case of Mephibosheth and the leprosy of Job.

In the New Testament even Paul had a nagging problem!

But there are other disabilities that have to be addressed in relation to mental illness and their was Saul and Herod, who due to their power led to thousands being killed! So their is a time and place for disability and not all people can work or should because they could be a danger to others?

2 Samuel 4:4,  9:6-7,  Job 2:7-9,  2 Corinthians 12:7.

The Chasm? Part-Two/

Many have it in this life?

These many include the many who claim to be Christians, but the reality is that they are imposters!

They are like the greedy evil people of this world who are now enjoying the fruits on the backs of others, but God is not blind and He will not be mocked when all of humanity will have to face the Judgement seat of God!

What many forget is that there is no once saved always saved and it is up to us to work out our own salvation by keeping on the path of truth!

The chasm that is in place between us and God has been filled by Jesus, since He is the only way to salvation! It is he who we must seek and who real followers must press on with daily!

1 Samuel 25:36,  2 Thessalonians 1:4-10,  James 5:1-7,  Revelation 22:11.

The Chasm? Part-One.

The Chasm between Classes!

Our world and society today claim that it is free to live and do as one pleases?

But we soon discover that this is not so, since in society we know that there is a massive widening chasm between the rich and poor classes!

The amazing thing is that class still exists, we see this blatantly on offer in relation to all that is not happening with the survivors of the Grenfell tower disaster in W-London. U.K. it is also seen in many other places such as the far-east, where old people are cleared off their lands and out of their shanty towns by prospecting planners and corrupt officials!

But there is another chasm that the bible speaks about in relation to all of human failure, this separates us from God and without faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus we cannot cross it into Eternity?

Luke 16:19-26,  Psalm 50:22,  Malachi 3:18,  John 3:36, James 1:11-12.
