Sometimes when we start our day, we find ourselves in the most compromising of situations. Perhaps that is why the Good Lord deems we should not know what lays before us.
It was on a Sunday afternoon when we came upon a estate sale and decided to stop and ‘explore’.
When we were exporing I came upon a Rosary. The Rosary beads led me to believe the person was a Roman Catholic. So I asked the man in charge of the sale if she had a ‘Sacred Heart of Jesus’ picture. He showed me many others, but I only wanted the one I requested.
Whereby a conversation originated. He asked me where I go to church. Having told him, He told me he use to be a ‘Deacon’ in the Catholic church but left the church because of the scandal. He said, ‘he could not in clear conscience’ remain within the church, because he did not approve of the scandal, and therefore had moved on.
At this point I told him: “You can not improve upon Jesus Christ!” Jesus Christ is in the body and blood of the Eucharist! The transformation of bread and wine is Jesus. The world is trying to destroy Christ’s church. It will never succeed. It is evil that wishes to profess and demoralize the Church. Once again I stated my position that Jesus is the church and His church will not be destroyed. He walked away.
People around me were in awe. I was fine with it. I will tell you this, if you have ever been betrayed, or set up to look like you have done wrong, then you know what I am talking about.
Jesus Christ is being ‘flogged’ in the days in which we are living! How? The betrayal of morality. The imoral is forcing its way upon the moral.
It’s been said, “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything”! If you can not stand with Christ then what kind of friend are you?!
Chapter 26 verses 69-75 BETRAYAL:
69)”Peter was sitting in the courtyard when one of the serving girls came over to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” 70)He denied it in front of everyone: “I do not know what you are talking about!” 71)When he went out to the gate another girl saw him and said to those nearby, “This man was with Jesus the Nazorean.” 72) Again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!” 73) A little while later some bystanders came over to Peter and said,”You are certainly one of them! Even your accent gives you away!” 74) At that he began cursing,and swore, “I do not even know the man!” Just then the cock began to crow 75) and Peter remembered the prediction Jesus had made: “Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times.” He went out and began to weep bitterly.
Book of John: Chapter 6 verses 50-52-53=54
51)“This is the bread that comes down from heaven for a man to eat and never die. 51)I myself am the living bread come down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread he shall live forever; the bread I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.” 52)At this the Jews quarreled among themselves, saying,”How can he give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Thereupon Jesus said to them,”Let me solemnly assure you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son Of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54)He who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
Book of John Chapter 20: verses 30-31
30)”Jesus performed many other signs as well-signs not recorded here-in the presence of his disciples. 31)But these have been recorded to help you believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, so that through this faith you may have life in his name.”
