Wicked separated from the just

The angels will come forth and sever the wicked from the just.

This is truth! I didn't make that up, I didn't say it- JESUS said it! Read it for yourself--

Mat 13:47  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

Mat 13:48  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Mat 13:49  So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

Mat 13:50  And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 13:51  Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

The wicked and the just.

There is NO middle ground, NONE. There is no gray area to fall into, no fence to sit upon. At the end of the thousand years all will be decided. Every single one of us will fall into one of two categories- wicked or just.

People want to believe that there are no real wicked or just, but something in between the two. But deep down I think everyone knows there is one or the other.

We make choices and those choices ultimately make us one or the other, just or wicked.

We choose to love or not to love.

We choose others or self.

Love or evil.

It's not up to us to choose who is evil or who isn't…  that net was cast into the sea and gathered of every kind.  At the END of this world-  ANGELS WILL come and then and ONLY then will all the evil be destroyed, and the wicked and the just permanently and forever, and ever, eternally separated. ALL wicked will be DESTROYED.  The wicked WILL be cast into the furnace of fire- there WILL be wailing and gnashing of teeth.  This is the HELL everyone is talking about all the time- only it's not a place people will live, it is a place they are punished according to their evil as they are destroyed permanently, blotted out of existence, as though they'd never been.

Think about it for a moment. 

The just will be alive for eternity without ANY pain, without ANY tears, but how could this EVER be true if the just will be missing the wicked loved ones that are destroyed forever?

Have you ever lost a loved one? If you have then you know the pain of that loss.  You also know that while your love for them doesn't fade the initial pain of your loss does lessen, the tears come less frequently- life goes on.  I believe, and I could be wrong, but I believe that for a 1000 years after our Savior brings all the just to heaven, during that time, during that 1000 years the just will ALL know WHY their wicked loved ones didn't make it.  They'll comprehend the why, they'll mourn them and when that 1000 years is over, and they've had a 1000 years of full comprehension, they will KNOW why the wicked need to be destroyed permanently. To not destroy them would be EVIL, truly evil. To allow the wicked to live when they've chosen the path of destruction would be against what they truly want. They won't WANT to be saved if it means love in Christ Jesus.  They only would want to be saved if they could continue to live and live forever in their selfishness, in their wickedness, and that cannot be allowed- THAT IS NOT LOVE.

Jesus would have us all love.

In HIM we can all love.

We need to choose Him, to choose love through Him.

Please Father in heaven, please …we would be YOUR through your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior!

In HIS LOVE always and forever!

AMEN. 

Jesus- Not of This World

Jesus- NOT OF THIS WORLD. 

Jesus an alien?  Such a strange thing to say isn't it? But by His own admission, Jesus is not of this world and we call any being not of our world an alien, yes?  

Our own Creator is NOT of this world.

He MADE this world being OUTSIDE of this world. He didn't create what He existed upon.  He, being NOT of this world, made this world exist, He spoke this world into existence. Our Creator spoke US into existence. Then our Creator agreed with His Co-Creator that IF mankind chose to disobey their single command to not eat of a single tree that they would OFFER to save those who would choose to obey their commands and all their commands would be grounded in LOVE.  However, the price to save them would be high. One of them would need to prove that their love IS love and is true, and is right!  To do this- one of them would take on FLESH, human flesh, flesh of a creature they created and in doing this they would have to leave their God powers behind and TOTALLY depend upon the powers of the God that would remain flesh-less, the God that would remain OUT of this world. The God in flesh would prove that a human being could depend upon a God not of, and out of this world for ALL things. 

Our Savior- Jesus Christ- the declared SON of God declared the FATHER, is the co-Creator who became flesh and divested Himself of all power.  He walked this earth in flesh knowing what He had been, knowing He was NOT of this world. He walked this earth and regained all the knowledge of His Father, God in Heaven. He lived His life consistent with a human being dependent upon His Creator. His human flesh made Him susceptible to all the same temptations as EVERY other created human being.  A part of Him wasn't CREATED- the part of Him that made Him - God, Co-Creator, the begotten Son. Yet that part had agreed to give up His God power. To have GOD even in our created flesh lower Himself in that way yet retain all His God-power, would mean very little, practically nothing. It would not prove that a human being is capable of obedience. 

Yes,  God in human flesh with the knowledge of His own God-hood, knew He could not use any of His God-power or He would forfeit everything He longed for, human begins knowing the love of their Creator.  Yes, they could have destroyed all HUMANS, but they didn't want to! Their nature of LOVE prevented them from haphazardly creating humans only to kill them off entirely when these beings of free will chose to disobey, when they chose self over God.

Joh 8:23  And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

We are from beneath- we are NOT gods of any sort! Jesus is from above- NOT of this world, but He took on FLESH and walked this world, taught in this world, lived in this world as a human being, died in this world, was resurrected in this world, and returned to HIS WORLD to prepare for us who choose to believe in HIM and His world, His love, His ways, His truth, His life,  so we could go to HIS WORLD and live with HIM for a thousand years, and then He would return to this earth with us.

By the GRACE and MERCY, through the LOVE of our Father God, our Savior God, our Holy Spirit God, may we be taken by HIM to live with HIM forever and ever, and ever!

In HIS name, In HIS love now and forever.

AMEN.

In the beginning was the Word

Redemption through our SAVIOR'S BLOOD- truth!

By HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED- truth!

PEACE through the BLOOD of the cross- truth!

Reconcile ALL THINGS unto Him - truth!

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 

Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 

Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 

Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 

Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Too often people don't comprehend that GOD - the Son- had a hand in CREATION.

People read GOD created, and believe instantly that GOD the Father alone did the creating.

This is the truth-- Eph 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ

Jesus was THERE.   God with God! God the Father and God the declared Son.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

The WORD was WITH GOD.

The WORD WAS GOD.

Jesus was with GOD - God with God through the entire OLD TESTAMENT!  Jesus wasn't a nameless spirit put into flesh and called the Son of God.  Jesus was GOD with GOD, Jesus has been from everlasting to everlasting just like the FATHER.

Psa_2:7  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Zec_6:13  Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

The counsel of peace shall be BETWEEN THEM BOTH.

A DECREE was DECLARED- and when that decree was declared ONLY then did the designation of Father and Son come into being.  They agreed.  Father and Son, neither one greater than the other, both in agreement in all things.   Does anyone truly believe the SON is a lesser God than the FATHER?  That the HOLY SPIRIT is still lesser than God the Father, and God the Son?   They are equal.

Our Savior- GOD- divested Himself of His power to take on flesh! Our Savior emptied Himself to take on flesh. And when He did that, He put Himself in God's hands, trusting in Him as we are to trust in Him, as our Father.

Our Creators our Redeemers, our Keepers- our Gods!

Please, please Father, bless us and keep us in YOU. Forgive us, redeem us through the power of Your Son! Please.

In the name of Jesus Christ our LORD! Now and FOREVER! Amen.

Servants

Serving others- we call this sacrifice, when in truth it is a blessing.

1Co 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

A servant unto all.

Mar 10:42  But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

Mar 10:43  But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

Mar 10:44  And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

Mar 10:45  For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Mar 9:35  And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

Do we truly comprehend this?

As we go about our lives struggling not to be treated as servants, we lose sight of our needing to be servants.

When we are asked to serve ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE how do we respond to that?  Do you serve them cheerfully? Or is there resentment?  Think about it seriously before you answer. The resentment doesn't have to be a burning rage of anger simmering under the surface.  The resentment can be teeny tiny a minor irritation, a tiny annoyance.  The resentment can be telling another days later in exasperation that people are asking you to serve them.  The exasperation can even be laughed at an attempt to hide feelings.  Seriously, we have to look at ourselves and be true to ourselves and seek forgiveness for our sinning ways- all of them. We can't hide behind the exterior we WANT to possess, we have to expose all of our errors. We have to confess our sins!

Do we want to be servants?  Truly, do we understand our need to be servants?

Rom 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Rom 12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Rom 12:3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Rom 12:4  For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Rom 12:5  So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Rom 12:6  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Rom 12:7  Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

Rom 12:8  Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Rom 12:9  Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Rom 12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Rom 12:11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

Rom 12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

Rom 12:13  Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

Rom 12:14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

Rom 12:15  Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

Rom 12:16  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Rom 12:17  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

Rom 12:18  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Rom 12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Rom 12:20  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Rom 12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Read that, and read it again and again, and again.

If we are failing to live up to this picture of how we should be, we need to seek a closer walk with Christ, to acknowledge our guilt, our failings, and our need to repent.  We need to seek Christ in all things, we must seek the Holy Spirit. We must TRUST that God will perform in us any necessary work that He MAY know us and we may know Him and we may be HIS now and in eternity!

Please, Father God, please create in US clean hearts! Renew RIGHT SPIRITS in us! Please Father, please! All by the mercy and grace of our LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST!

Now and forever.

Amen.

Satan whispers to us

Are we really to sacrifice nothing? Are we really not supposed to feel the pain of depriving our flesh? Is life with Christ truly supposed to be all fun and games? Satan will make following Christ seem IMPOSSIBLE! Satan will pull out ALL stops to get us to give in to Him. Satan wants us to STOP fighting the fight. Satan wants us to STOP warring against our own flesh. Christ's yoke IS easy, Christ's burden IS light! But Satan would have us believe Christ's yoke is the hardest yoke upon earth. Satan would have us believe the burden of Christ is heaviest burden of all. Satan will slip into our lives whispering to us that we can never be enough. Satan will tease our thoughts with the lie that we must fight our flesh and bring it into subjection as we mortify all our evil deeds ON OUR OWN, OF OUR OWN ACCORD.  And when we fail because we DO inevitably fail as we fight the fight on our own, Satan is right there ready to guide our lives down his path to destruction.  Satan LIED to get man to sin and why mess with what works? Satan will lie to EVERYONE of us!  Yes, we are to KEEP under our bodies and bring them into subjection-- THROUGH CHRIST. Yes, we must be temperate in ALL things- THROUGH CHRIST. Yes, we are to mortify the deeds of the body- THROUGH CHRIST.

If we read all the following verses I've collected and leave out the comprehension that we only succeed in Christ, then we are completely and utterly lost.

As someone who battles many flesh lusts, as someone who has many deeds to mortify, as someone who needs to bring their body under subjection- I UNDERSTAND!  I WAR DAILY!  I AM A WRETCHED HUMAN BEING!  And I must NEVER forget that CHRIST ALONE can save me from myself!

There is a VERY good reason we are told this--

Mat_6:34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Truly there is enough evil in each day as it comes, we don't need to borrow on tomorrow's evil. 

We need to pray for DAILY BREAD, not weekly bread.

PLEASE FATHER IN HEAVEN, please forgive us! We are weak wretched creatures with weak wills. Be all for us that we cannot seem to be whether by will or not. Please! Be our ALL in ALL.  Through the grace and mercy of our SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, by the HOLY SPIRIT in US! PLEASE, save us from ourselves! Please!  THANK YOU!  Amen!

1Co 9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

1Co 9:25  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

1Co 8:13  Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Rom 8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live

2Co 6:4  But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

2Co 6:5  In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fasting

2Co 11:27  In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

Col 3:5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry

2Ti 2:22  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

1Pe 2:11  Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul

1Pe 4:1  Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

1Pe 4:2  That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

1Pe 4:3  For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:

1Pe 4:4  Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you

Luk 21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Luk 21:35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Luk 21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Rom 8:12  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Rom 8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Rom 13:11  And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

Rom 13:12  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Rom 13:13  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

Rom 13:14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Gal 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Gal 5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Gal 5:24  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

1Jn 2:15  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1Jn 2:16  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1Jn 2:17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Amen.

We know God the Father through God the Son

 Mat 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

We know God the Father through God the Son.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Was WITH God.
WAS God.

God with God.

There is NO doubt that Jesus is a God in His own right.  A God who is ONE in AGREEMENT with GOD the FATHER.

All things are delivered to JESUS the Son by God the Father.
No MAN knows the SON but the FATHER.
No MAN knows the FATHER but the SON… AND….

….AND we can know the FATHER if the SON reveals the Father to us.

Remember this--

Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

NO man can come to the Father but by the SON.

Joh 14:7  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

When we KNOW JESUS we KNOW the FATHER! This is TRUTH.

Joh 14:8  Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Joh 14:9  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

If we SEE JESUS we SEE the FATHER.

Joh 14:10  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

The FATHER- dwells in the SON, the FATHER does the works that JESUS does.

Joh 14:11  Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

They are ONE in FULL and TOTAL AGREEMENT! There is nothing the Father and Son don't agree upon, not a single thing! But there ARE TWO of them- they are NOT and never were ONE BEING. They are NOT and never were ONE GOD, to say they are ONE GOD is like saying a marriage between one man and one woman makes them one human being. It makes them one family, it makes them one in agreement, but it does not join them together and take away their humanity, any more than God the Father and God the Son become a single God.  When we talk family we KNOW there are more than one in a family. When we talk marriage we know there are more than one in a marriage. When we say God- there is no instant comprehension that there are two, and it's that way because it's not realistic.  In fact there are THREE GODS who agree as ONE.

Act 5:3  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Act 5:4  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Three GODS, NOT ONE GOD!  They agree as one and we can KNOW them all by knowing Jesus who took on flesh, human flesh, God in human flesh. Some people say they can be known as three by calling them a trinity, but they are not ONE GOD and a trinity is three person as ONE GOD.  They are a TRIO of THREE GODS.    When we know ONE we know the other and it's not hard to comprehend that because we understand that we as people often speak for one another. And when we speak for one another we are doing so because we are in agreement with them- we have an understanding- we know what they want us to say, they trust us to speak for them.

We can KNOW the Father through the Son, by the Holy Spirit.

All by the grace of our LORD, our SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST now and forever!

May we know HIM!

Amen.

He gives hope to the hopeless

So you think you're immune from self-centeredness? Do you think you are safe from going your own way? Do you think that you'd never turn away from your Savior?

Peter thought he would never deny Jesus- he was wrong, very, very wrong.

Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

ALL of us have gone astray!  Sheep wander it's in their nature. Sheep need a shepherd. Sheep need a sheepdog. Sheep left to their own devices will definitely go astray.

Mat 18:12  How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

Mat 18:13  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Mat 18:14  Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Rom 3:10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Rom 3:11  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Rom 3:12  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Rom 3:13  Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Rom 3:14  Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Rom 3:15  Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Rom 3:16  Destruction and misery are in their ways:

Rom 3:17  And the way of peace have they not known:

Rom 3:18  There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Rom 3:19  Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

We NEED a Shepherd, and CHRIST is that Shepherd.

Christ is the Shepherd who died to save His sheep.  Our  lives meant and mean so much to Him!  Can we even begin to comprehend this? Can we?!

We've been given HOPE.

We don't have to live HOPELESS!

So many choose hopelessness, so many cling to this world, to THIS life refusing to believe in the HOPE of a better world, a better life.

Over and over our God has shown us in His word through history, that HE lives, HE loves!

Our CREATOR did not have to die for us, but He did! He ransomed us. He paid the price for us.  He could have shoved us aside, He could have destroyed us and created something entirely different, but He didn't because we were worth that much to Him.  We have PART of Him that can connect to a part of US.  Made in HIS IMAGE.

Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all

We need our SHEPHERD!

We are guilty, He is innocent!

We deserved death eternal, He died that death so we could live.

Daily we die.

Rom 8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Daily we must die to self and live for HIM. We are sheep for the slaughter, but sheep who have a Shepherd. Sheep who have been given the promise of everlasting life in Christ our Savior. Sheep whose Shepherd sacrifice Himself for us, to give us hope in ETERNAL LIFE.  This pasture we are living in is corrupt and there are wolves every which way we turn. The wolves may kill us in this life but the wolves can never take eternal life from us. The wolves cannot take our HOPE from us.  Our Shepherd HAS SAVED US ALREADY and the wolves cannot take HOPE from us, they cannot take our Eternal Life not ever, we are saved by GRACE…

Eph_2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God

1Jn_5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

By the grace of GOD! We believe on His name, Jesus Christ our Savior now and forever!

AMEN.
