The Saviour

Hebrews 2:16-18 For it is clear that he did not come to help angels. No, he came to help Abraham’s descendants, 17 thereby becoming like his brothers in every way, so that he could be a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God and could atone for the people’s sins. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. #Bible ISV

You’ve heard the saying “Don’t tell me what to do until you have walked a mile in my shoes”.
Well that’s just the point, Jesus didn’t just walk a mile, He lived a life in our skin!
Jesus lived a life just as we do, going through all the same issues and problems we face in this life. Jesus dealt with the same emotions, anger, and pain this life produces because of sin.
Satan who held the power of death, held humanity in slavery and fear of death until Jesus the Christ delivered us from that fear.
Jesus being God through His Love for us came and became one of us. He lived the life we aren’t capable of living, never giving into the temptation of sin.
He lived the perfect righteous life.
Jesus as a human being could of just walked into Heaven with no accusation of sin. But Jesus took all of mankind’s sin upon Himself and suffered death in our place. Freeing us to be able to enter Heaven with no accusation.
Jesus defeated satan and death when He died on the cross, and rose from the dead.
Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Throne of God Almighty where He helps us in every way possible.
Jesus is the Way to God the Father, He is the Word of God, the Truth, and He is and has given us the Life.
All we have to do is believe that Jesus is our Saviour, repent of our sins, and begin to live this Glorious life He provides, not living in fear of death any more.

The Light of True Freedom

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. #Bible

Once we were those who were blinded by darkness groping around stumbling, falling down, constantly being wounded by our sins, living to suffer the consequences of our sins, and even controlled by our sins.
Once we existed in the darkness of ignorance about our Creator God. We knew only the passions of our flesh, and its lusts.
This darkness kept us enslaved to a life of suffering, unsatisfied though we had everything, nothing gave us joy or happiness.
Then God chose us to come into His presence, into His Marvelous Light. We became Gods chosen, His royal priesthood, and Holy nation, a people for His own possession, His Family.
As God’s Royal Priests we proclaim our Father’s Love to the world. We share the invitation from God to the world. That Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. To all who would believe.
We proclaim Jesus is Lord, and we share His Word, the Holy Scriptures to a world stranded in the darkness of ignorance and the binding slavery of sin. We proclaim Freedom in Light, where all is visible, to all who would believe in Jesus the Christ. We live in the Joy of the Lord, happy, and wanting to please Jesus in our service to Him.
Come into the Light, believe in Jesus.

Believe

John 14:1-6  “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.  And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. #Bible

Don’t worry, Jesus tells His Disciples. While Jesus has just revealed His betrayer, and informed Peter of His three denials of Jesus, not to mention His death on the cross. The Disciples are a bit concerned and nervous with what will happen next.
Jesus tells them as you believe in, trust and depend on and have faith in God the Father, Do so with Jesus also.
Jesus tells them of the many mansions, rooms, abodes in His Father’s house. He points out that if it were not so He would have told them. Jesus never gave His Disciples opportunity to disbelieve Him before and He isn’t now.
Jesus gives the Disciples the good news, that He is going to prepare a place for them.
Jesus isn’t leaving the Father God’s house, He’s just going to another abode, or section of the Father’s house, and He will return for them also.
The Disciples will be received by Jesus and will reside with Jesus.
When Jesus said they know where He is going, it figure’s Thomas the realist would be the one asking where. Thomas wanted to be sure, just like he did with Jesus rising from death.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me, Jesus says.
Just like when Jesus appeared to Thomas and told him to put his hand in His side and his finger in His hand, and believe. Jesus now confirms the only way to see or know the Father God was by Jesus. In fact Jesus Goes on to say if you see Me you have seen the Father God.
We Christians today basically go through this same process in coming to know God and knowing through Jesus the Christ, the One and Only Unique Son of God. Who has given of Himself as the Father has, in giving us our foretaste, or proof of our residence, our abode with our God in eternity. By giving us our God, the Holly Spirit to reside in our mortal bodies with us even forever.
Jesus is still at work preparing our home in our Father’s Home. I can’t even imagine how wonderfully awesome it will be, because our God Jesus has been working for thousand’s of years to accomplish His task.
I can’t understand how or why anyone would reject our Wonderful Savior, our Wonderful Father God. Can He do any more to show us His Love for Us?
I say believe and be saved from the wrath that is coming very soon for those who reject their Creator God.
