NOW, to the one who doesn’t understand this message of Salvation
It is a matter of letting yourself go… letting go of the grip that you have been holding onto so long, and release yourself by the way of faith and believe the message that was told.
Faith is the easy part! It is the fleshy part of the unbeliever that has a hard time!
((scripture says: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak))
You see, Jesus was born here on earth. His birth mother was a virgin. Unbelievable? To one who has to hold onto things tightly; he can not/will not understand or accept…
To a faith-believer it is a matter of okay God. What is next?
What is next, the baby was named Jesus. God’s Son, and Mary’s earthly son.
He grew up, acknowledging His Heavenly Father every chance He had. He did many miracles. He healed the sick, lame, blind, deaf and mute. He even rose ones from the dead. He healed lepers, outcasts, and even the ones who were possessed. He turned water into wine at a wedding. He “seen” things afar off… He felt….FAITH…. in the ones who “believed.” He was God- HE IS GOD!
The people of His time didn’t believe in Him. They seen the “boy” grow up to a “man” and he couldn’t possibly be “God!” Blasphemy!
So, they turned their backs, and belief. No faith. No light. No hope. Yet, this is what they chose!
You see, an atheist has the same complaint! How could a loving God (they say sarcastically) send a man to hell?
Well, God doesn’t! An unbelieving man sends his own self to hell. FACT.
This JESUS who left heaven came to earth for you. He longs for your soul and spirit to become one IN Him. He longs for you to believe in Him so that you may be with Him (and His family) in heaven with His Father. This is the Father’s, our Heavenly Father’s heart. For YOU to BE with HIM.
And, the only way this can happen positively for you is for you to surrender one thing… your heart, by way of blind faith! A step into the unknown, but to God it is a step in the right direction, through His Son Jesus, to HIM.
The Atheist can’t do it! Why? they need to touch, smell, feel it. Their hand is so tightly closed off to this message, that their heart is literally hindered/blocked. Hardened. Callused. The only thing that will give them breakthrough is by merely saying YES to Jesus. Simple faith.
Simple faith- Simple yes- is it simple? Yes, it is!
Jesus, a boy, grew up man, led a holy, pure life. He is our example. Oh, how we all have failed. But, keep on walking…. Walking by faith!
At 33 years of age, His time was up. The unbelievers had enough. They wanted Him dead. His miracles weren’t enough to capture their attention, it only infuriated them to murder. Murder was in their hearts. Hate. Abort the plan, they thought.
But, God is God, is God!
Hate was man’s motive for the cross.
LOVE was Christ’s motive for the cross. Love endured it.
He was beaten unrecognizable. Whipped. Tortured. They ripped out the hair from His beard. Taking a spiky thorny plant and made a crown. Hate was so happy with himself. He was mocked, degraded, YET, said not a word, nor cried out.
LOVE made it possible. Love made the tree.
The soldiers made Him carry the cross. His energy gone, yet He kept on walking… (in faith) He was not about to fail. He endured the cross for the joy (us) so that we would be free of hell and death.
A man, Joseph of Arimethea, was made to carry His cross the rest of the way.
Laying Him down, bloody, bruised and broken. Hurt beyond hurt, alive, yes, still alive. They nailed Him to the cross, hands and feet. He could barely breathe. Hanging there with the other criminals… Yet had compassion. For us- the future. For them- the past. For the Father who was heartbroken. His beautiful Son, who was tortured for our sins.
You see, what the Atheist can’t believe is this. Why would a LOVING GOD do this: they don’t care that it was Jesus! All they see is the crime committed. Yet, do not see the crime they are committing for themselves. The crime of stolen faith, theirs, by the one who steals, kills, and destroys. Yes, Satan. And, often times, they don’t even know that their blindness is because of lack of faith.
Back to Jesus. The One who loves YOU. He died on the cross for you, so that in this space and time could see this: “CHILD, I LOVE YOU, I love you with my life.” I love you to death.
However, as Christians know, Jesus didn’t remain dead in His grave. But let me not get ahead of myself.
He was crucified. Not one bone was broken.
God looked down upon His Son. And turned away.
For the Son took on ALL the sin of the world upon Himself. Yours, mine, future and past, all for LOVE. The love of the Father, and the love of you.
He cried, it is finished. Because it was….finished.
The very ending insult was also prophesied, His side was pierced. Water and blood spilled out.
Finished. Jesus dead. The world stopped. I wonder if time stopped, hiccuped if you will, then the earthquake…. the veil torn…. the Father, I believed cried.
The story didn’t end here with the end… death…
It started again….. time moved forward.
Death didn’t win! Jesus rose! On the third day after His death, the stone was rolled back, and it was empty! Jesus wasn’t there.
He rose. Death lost it’s sting. The grave can not hold us! The devil lost.
The believer who has faith enough to accept this fact is very blessed. Heaven belongs to you if you stop…right now….and accept this fact, and ask the Lord Jesus into your heart.
Let’s do it now.
Jesus, Thank you for loving me so much that you thought about me. Thank you for seeing me on that cross. Thank you that You have stirred my heart enough to capture my attention.
I do not want to hold on to unbelief any longer. I want to release this unbelief to You, and believe in you, Lord. I accept the scripture that was mentioned that the only way to heaven is through You, Lord. I ask that YOU become my Lord and Savior, and save my soul for death and hell, Lord.
Forgive my sins, and unbelief. And, bless my faith in You, Jesus.
Thank you for the cross, and all that You endured for my salvation.
Thank you for welcoming me into Your family. I am so grateful! I can now have a forever future with You, Lord.
In Jesus name, I pray. Thank you! Amen
Now, for this to be finalized…go and tell someone. Bible says for you to confess Jesus before others, so that He will confess you before His Father.
Welcome to the family of God!!!
If you still don’t understand this message, or need prayer, I will be happy to share MORE of Jesus with you.
Your sister, Lorraine
