S A L V A T I O N Part 2

 Last week in the first part of Salvation we mentioned at least four important things: one, that we are all sinners, two, that the consequences of sin is death, and eternal death to be more accurate, three, that we by ourselves can not resolve the sin problem, and four, that God has provided a solution to our problem of sin, in the person of Jesus Christ, who willingly went to die on the cross for all of us.
This week we are going to look at a text in Luke 19:10, Jesus said "For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost" As you noticed there are three key words in this text; one, is SEEK, two, is SAVE, and three, is LOST.
Jesus came not just to save us arbitrarily, but to SEEK first. And not to seek because he did not know where and how we were, but to give us the opportunity to admit that we are LOST, and two, to allow him to find us and SAVE us.
In chapter 14 of Matthew we find a story of Jesus coming to the disciples walking on water, while they were in the boat. Peter asked him to allow him to come to him walking on the water too, to which Jesus said "Come" verse 28, and Peter started his journey towards Jesus, walking on the water but when he saw that the wing was too strong he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord Save me" verse 30
Peter understood that he was lost without the help of Jesus and he cried to Jesus for help.
Would you say to Jesus, "Lord save me?" I hope you do, I do it every day.
Be Saved, Be Blessed, Be at Peace, and Be Content.

THE GOSPEL part 5

Image
This week we are concluding our blogs about the Gospel, and we will like to take a look at the power of the Gospel in a person. Let's take the apostle Paul for example, in the book of Acts 9: 1-19 we find the story of Paul's encounter with Jesus (the true Gospel) Paul was on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, as his custom was, except that this time the Gospel, Jesus, appeared to him on a light shining to his face and asking, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? We read that the power of the light and words of Jesus made Paul fall off his horse and loose his sight. As a result of Paul's encounter with the Person of Jesus he converted from persecutor of Christians to one of them, he became a believer, a preacher, teacher and writer of the Gospel. The power of the Gospel changed him. In Romans 1: 16 he wrote, "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jews first and also for...

  Welcome to our page. Jeremiah 9:23-24 says, "Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom. Let not the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me. That I am the Lord exercising lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight", says the Lord". Oh what a difference it would be if we could only understand and know God!. Let us all purpose in our hearts to make 2024 the year in which we will know God better and understand Him more. May we all come closer to Him as He also comes closer to us. Make the peace of God which surpasses all understanding be with each one of you and yours. "Maranatha"

The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah

  Revelation 5: 5 says, "And one of the elders saith unto me, "Weep not: Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof"" It is easy and common to think of Jesus as a lamb; by its tenderness, gentleness, and even submissiveness, but it is not common to think of Him as a lion. It is the Bible however that says it. There must be a reason for it. Let us read what Jacob was telling his twelve sons about their future, in Genesis 49: 8-9 "Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son thou art gone up; he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as old lion; who shall rouse him up? Judah was one of the twelve sons of Jacob, and if we read Jesus natural and human genealogy in Matthew chapter 1, it came from the tribe of Judah. Now we ...
