Preaching Christ Crucified
from the pastor's desk....
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word,
Just to lean upon His promise,
Just to know thus saith the Lord!
Many blessings of the Lord be upon each and everyone of you today! Keep looking up,our redemption draws near! It is closer today,than it was yesterday!
John 10:22-33,"And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication,and it was winter.And Jesus walked in the Temple in Solomon's porch.Then came the Jews round about Him,and said unto Him,how long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ,tell us plainly.Jesus answered them,I told you,and you believed not:the works that I do in my Father's name,they bear witness of Me. But you believe not,because you are not of My sheep,as I said unto you.My sheep hear My voice,and I know them,and they follow Me:and I give unto them eternal life;and they shall never perish,neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father,which gave them Me,is greater than all;and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones to stone Him. Jesus answered them,many good works have I shewed you from My Father;for which of those works do you stone Me? Then the Jews answered Him,saying,for a good work we stone thee not;but for blasphemy;and because that thou,being a man,makest thyself God." (KJV)
It's always amazing to me,that people can read this passage of Scripture and completely miss what Christ Jesus,our Lord,is saying.The Jews asked Jesus to plainly tell them if He was the Christ of God,He did,and then they proceed to pick up stones to stone Him.The reason they wanted to stone Him,was because He said God was His Father,thereby,making Himself equally as Divine as His Father.The stiff necked Jews thought He had blasphemed God,and wanted to kill Him.
What is equally amazing to me,is that we can have all sorts of celebrities on T.V. today who can claim Deity,and multitudes will flock to them and pay their hard earned money to listen to them talk about their over inflated ego's,and brag about all the good works they are doing for their fellow man,and no one is the wiser for it.
The Only Divine Son of the Living God,has come from heaven to give eternal life to all who will accept Him,and He will not even so much as turn a head anymore to an ungodly,debased,wicked generation of sinners.Yet the same people will scream themselves hoarse,when one of their idols,comes to town or is on television.
Cultists will beat your doors down,and people will invite them into their homes to listen to them denigrate the Son of Almighty God,and treat Him as though He is as common as sliced bread.Please reread the context which I provided,and make your decision today to follow the Christ the Son of the Living God.This is the ONLY hope for a world spinning out of control,and to destruction.Jesus is coming soon for His church.....As one old pastor used to say....."Get in,get out,or get run over." Choose you today,who you will follow into eternity.The Son of God,who is over eternity,or false idols that you worship! You can't have it both ways! .............in the Master's service.......pastor John.
