The LIVING GOD #AROSE

Posted on by

All things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled…a bone of him (Jesus) shall not be broken…They shall look on him whom they pierced. Luke 23:36,37   “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.  The veil of the temple was rent (torn) from top to bottom; and the earthquaked and the rocks rent. Matthew 27:50-60…That evening Joseph of Arimathaea went to Pilate begged the body of Jesus and Pilate commanded the body be delivered.  Joseph took the body, (Nicodemus came and brought myrrh and aloes John19:38) wrapped it in clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb which he had hewn out in the rock and rolled a great stone to the door ….Next day chief priests and Pharisees came to Pilate saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver(Jesus) said, while he was alive, ‘After three days I will rise again.‘ …so they made the sepulchre secure by sealing the stone and setting a watch.  As it began the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome brought sweet spices to anoint Jesus body in the sepulchre and behold there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came – rolled back the stone and sat upon it.  His countenance was like lightning and raiment white as snow.  Angel said to the women, Fear not: for I know that you seek Jesus, which was crucified.  He is not here: for HE IS RISEN  come and see the place where the Lord lay.  Go quickly, and TELL his disciples that HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD.…As they went to tell behold, JESUS MET THEM SAYING, ALL HAIL – BE NOT AFRAID: GO TELL MY BRETHREN …..” Matthew 28

The Meaning of Easter

Oh #HappyDay!  Why do we celebrate #Easter?  Imagine the depths of #dejection felt by the followers of Jesus Christ when He died on the cross.  But, it was necessary to God’s ultimate plan for saving humanity.  For three days, what kind of doubt and humiliation did the disciples endure?  But, with the Resurrection, Jesus Christ conquered sin and death.  Praise God!  What does it mean for us?  What does it mean for our sin and even our temptations?  What does it mean about the consequences of our death?  What kind of power does that resurrection make available to us right now?

The LIVING GOD #SWEAT

Posted on by

#GOD did become #human through #Jesus Christ!  Do we think that much about GOD experiencing our humanity?  Talk about a humbling encounter for GOD.  He experienced pain, labor, hunger, rejection, lies, anger and ridicule – yet, He showed love through it all.  As Jesus went into the garden of Gethsemane that evening to pray to God, his father, He had all the weight of our sins upon Him.  Luke 22:42 “Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Thine be done.  An angel from heaven appeared unto Him, strengthening  Him.  being in agony He was praying very fervently, and HIS SWEAT BECAME LIKE DROPS OF BLOOD, falling down on the ground.”  The chief priests, officers of the temple and elders arrested Jesus and after torture had Him crucified.  Jesus Christ loved us so much He willing gave himself as a sacrifice to die for our sins.  Heb.9:22 “According to the Law, one may say all things are cleansed with blood, without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin”   “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” Rom. 5:8,9

The Unpardonable Sin

What is the one #sin that God will not #forgive?   Well, quizzically it is not the ones getting the most #headlines these days.  In fact, even the stories about this sin are not about the sin and its horrible consequences, but rather about the personality espousing it and their right to hold said position.  Would a loving God really refuse to forgive because of something we do?  What decision, if truly made, prevents committing this sin?  How can you know if you have committed this sin?

The LIVING GOD #FLIES

Posted on by

Many moons ago, I walked morning to elementary school and back home afternoons (a mile each way) on the High Plains of the #Texas Panhandle where the wind bl-o-ws!  I remember having a recurrent childhood dream of being pushed by the wind and then I would lift my legs and be carried on the wind over my house thereby lowering my legs to walk up the steps to my front door.  Swift & Neat.  Yes, that was my childish wish/dream, but God’s Word tells us of His wonders beyond even our comprehension in 2015.  “The LORD reigns, let the people tremble: He is enthroned above the cherubim…”Ps.99:1  “He bowed the heavens also and came down and darkness was under His feet.  HE rode upon a cherub, and DID FLY, and HE DID FLY ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND.”  Ps.18:9,10

The Way To Walk

You may not remember it, but if you are now ambulatory, you once had to #learn how to #walk.  A #Christian has to be born again and therefore has to learn to walk all over again.  Should we try to copy Jesus Christ?  Should we try really hard to be good?  How does acceptance differ from obedience and how often is each required?  What is involved in walking with Jesus Christ?  And like a toddler, there are adventures we cannot even imagine that will come only when we have learned to walk in Christ.
