OFFORING IT UP

IF, of the 28,430 drops of blood that Jesus shed on ‘Good Friday,’ each drop covers each sin of each ‘One’ of us, then we can only begin to understand the beginning of the ‘error of our ways’!

For of the 28,430 drops of blood that Our Lord shed on behalf of the whole world, few consider the magnitude of this one act!

Failure to reflect on such sufferings is to say, ‘it does not matter, that was His job’!    This is a sacrilege of the greatest magnitude!   Compassion is lost, and evil steps in.    Then Jesus, the Lamb of God is taken for granted!    This cutting, piercing, hurt enters into the very core of our Christ, and rests within His Heart!    He, who died so violently, and loves so deeply, still ridiculed, and persecuted, even today, thousands of years later!

What does it take, for a soul to realize his breath is not his own?    That each breath is on loan?    What does it take to delve deep into the recesses of who we are, to realize we are but a vapor?    For that is what we each are!    Our being, is because of the love of the Father!

For foolish and unbelieving souls believe that they are here without a Father.    That they are here on their own accord!    The greater gift is wisdom; and wisdom is fear of the LORD!    For our LORD completes us!   Without Him there is no being!   Without Him there is no living!    Without Him there is no life!    Life is of God, and God is life.   They are ONE!    We, His children draw our life’s breath from Him!   It is He who breathes into each and everyone of us!   It is He who thought of us, and it is He who completes us!    We can not arrive at anything without the ‘love of the Father’ to guide us!

What difference does it make?    The difference is eternity!   Many believe that heaven is absolute!   In other words, it is a given, everyone gets there!     Well, it is true, heaven is absolute!   However, there is One who is a mediator between heaven and earth!   One who is the ‘gate-keeper’!   One who holds the key to the kingdom of heaven, and whom everyone must enter, namely, JESUS CHRIST!

Those of us who profess Christ, His teachings, His life, and His will, do so under the instruction of the Holy Spirit!   It is God the Father that desires that His Son be given the glory, and the Son who gives glory to the Father, and through the Holy Spirit the the Three are One person, makeing up the Holy Trinity of God the Father!!

This incredible fact can only be experienced when, salvation is ‘desired’!    Desire, comes from the heart.    When the heart aches to be loved, forgiven, and embraced, the soul calls out to God for forgiveness!     Then , the power of the Holy Spirit, will lead the sinner to Jesus Himself!    The depth of understanding, the forgiveness of God, is so profound that no mere man can explain it!    For God is omnipotent!   We have only to call upon Him, and He will lead us to a greater love than ever imaginable.

Life is a ‘life-long’ prayer!   It is meant to be a life-long love affair with God!

For simply put: One day we are here.    We know not why!   One day we are gone!   We know not how!

Now that He has chosen to give us life,   To return home, Jesus must be called upon, embraced, and loved!

Book of Luke: Chapter 9 verse 23-24

23) Jesus said to all, “Whoever, wishes to be my follower must deny his very self, take up his cross each day, and follow in my steps.   24)Whoever, would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.   25) What profit does he show who gains the whole world and destroys himself in the process?” 

Book of: The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians: Chapter 4 verse4-7

4) “Rejoice in the LORD always!   I say it again, Rejoice!   5) Everyone should see how unselfish you are.   The LORD is near.   6)Dismiss all anxiety from your minds.   Present your needs to God in every form of prayer and in petitions full of gratitude.   7)   Then God’s own peace, which is beyond all understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
