Forty Days

April 21, 2014

Jesus walked the earth for forty days and was seen by many to prove to them that He was alive and everything that He had told them is true. Then He ascended into Heaven. This is not the end of the story, Jesus is coming again!! It may be today.
Time is short and we must be about the Lord’s business of witnessing and winning souls to Him.

Acts 1:11
Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Jesus is Dead

April 19, 2014

Jesus is dead. All hope is gone. The disciples, Joseph of Aramethia, the many women who followed Him, prepared to go on with life without Him. The rulers still feared Him and ordered the grave to be guarded.
These people, human like we are, had various emotions the day Jesus died and the 3 days following. Lack of faith, we might think.
What would we have done? Probably the same thing. But wait! Morning is coming!
As we wait for tomorrow, let us meditate on Jesus and the great sacrifice He gave for us, so we can be saved.

Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Seven Sayings of Jesus

April 18, 2014

In the Bible there are seven things Jesus said during the 6 hours He hung on the cross. Because today is called Good Friday, most Christians will reflect on the death of Jesus on the cross.
So much is said in those 7 sayings that volumes of books have not been able to explain all of it.
Forgiveness, Heaven, honor of parents, relationship to God the Father, physical needs, finished work and finally death.
Jesus suffered that death for you and me. Praise The Lord.

Luke 23:34: Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.
Luke 23:43: Verily, I say to you today, you will be with me in paradise.
John 19:26–27: Woman, behold your son. Behold your mother.
Matthew 27:46 & Mark 15:34 My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?
John 19:28: I thirst.
John 19:29-30: It is finished.
Luke 23:46: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.

Jesus Paid It All

April 16, 2014

“When the Lord Jesus Christ became my surety . . . He went to Calvary’s cross, and all my guilt was charged against Him. He settled for everything, and then He cried, ‘It is finished.’ And on the basis of that finished work, God can freely forgive, and justify completely, every poor sinner who trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ.” ~ Dr. Harry A. Ironside

This quote is from a great preacher who is probably forgotten or never heard of by most young Christians, but he knew how to explain that our sins are completely forgiven by the death of Jesus on the cross. Jesus paid for all our sins on the cross and all we have to do is repent, admit to him that we need forgiveness, believe that He paid for ALL our sins and ask Him to forgive our sins and make our lives new.

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Palm Sunday

April 13, 2014

John 12:12-13
On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna:Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Little Sins

April 8, 2014

“A little thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little sins do mischief to the tender heart. These little sins burrow in the soul, and make it so full of that which is hateful to Christ, that he will hold no comfortable fellowship and communion with us. A great sin cannot destroy a Christian, but a little sin can make him miserable….”
Charles Spurgeon

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Fanny Crosby

April 6, 2014

“It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank him for the dispensation. If perfect earthly sight were offered me tomorrow I would not accept it. I might not have sung hymns to the praise of God if I had been distracted by the beautiful and interesting things about me.” Fanny Crosby
“Redeemed” “Blessed Assurance” “Rescue the Perishing” and over 8000 other hymns, some that we have in our hymn books, were written by Fanny Crosby who was blinded at 6 weeks of age by an incompetent doctor.
Her life affected multitudes of people through her beautiful hymns and praises to God.
God took a tragedy and turned it into a testimony that still is being used in our lives today almost 200 years later.

Isaiah 42:16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths that they have not known:
I will make darkness light before them,
and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
