You will search for me but will die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going.” It can be used even today when you have an opportunity to share Christ with someone: "The Lord brought me here today to tell you about him. You may never see me again but on judgement day you will be reminded about this day we met. Without Jesus, you will continue to search for something to fill that empty spot in your life that only Jesus can fill. Without Jesus, we will die in our sins. We have two option in life: A. Heaven or B. Hell. I am choosing option A but you will not be able to come with me because accepting Jesus holds the keys to A. Please accept Jesus today because Jesus and I both want you to come where I am going." Jesus is Lord!!!!!!! John 14:6 NLT 6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. 08/07/2025 Check this verse out and see how the nouns are listed: Isaiah 33:22 (New Living Translation) For the Lord is our judge, our lawgiver, and our king. He will care for us and save us. 1. Judge - Naturally as humans we make poor judgement calls. It is great to have a Lord that is the perfect judge. 2. Lawgiver - God gives us laws to help minimize the dumb stuff we do. We are like a toddler that has to stick that metal fork in the electrical outlet . 3. King - Our Lord is the King of kings, which makes him awesome in my book but it was listed last. Maybe the order was coincidence or is there a reason. We do know that the "Lord of lords" is good at all three. It is written that only our Lord Jesus can save us: John 14:6 NLT 6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. Looks like all other paths take you straight to Hell which is the only other option. Another thing that is written that only our Lord does is: Matthew 6:30 NLT And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? Jesus never leaves us even if we think he has. I too have experienced those days where things seem dark. The enemy loves these moments. Let's not give him the satisfaction by losing hope! Psalm 149:4 NLT For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory. 05/14/2024 Christians show the cross as a symbol to who they are. Did you ever look at a cross really close. The cross itself represents what Isaiah said would be the type of death that Jesus would have to endure when he completed his ministry on earth. But what else do you see. That cross is empty. Jesus was removed, placed in burial clothes and placed in a tomb. In some ways, the tomb should be our symbol because that is the place Jesus took the keys from Satan and conquered death. The tomb was also where Lazarus was raised from the dead: John 11:44 NIV The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” When Jesus released his Spirit on that cross death was being conquered: Matthew 27:50-53 NIV 50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. I am thankful that most Christians do show a cross that is empty. But in many of the Catholic churches you will see Jesus still hanging there. One thing I do know is that when you are hanging on a cross it is physically impossible to conquer death. That cross still represents the suffering he endured for us and that should never be taken lightly. Because our God is so Holy Jesus Christ was necessary before anyone could stand in the presence of the Father. Everyone from Adam on had to wait for what Jesus was going to do. We are fortunate that Christ already paid that price and we do not have to wait. But we have to acknowledge him as our Savior before this can happen. Matthew 10:32 NIV “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. Luke 12:8 NIV “I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
