“Eli, Eli lama sabachthani? that is, My God, My God,
why have You forsaken Me?”
(Matthew 27:46)
LIVING FOR JESUS - Daily Prayer
JESUS, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Lord,
Precious Lamb of God forgive us when we fall back into the world
that You came to free us from! Lord, You said we are to be “in” the
world but not “of” the world and I pray for discernment to know the
difference that I may witness to Your Glory and seek none for myself.
Jesus, so often I find myself saying things and dropping Your Name
and have missed the True Purpose of calling on Your Holy Name
for it is never about promoting self! Lord, guide me in Your Light
and keep always in my heart Your Truth that when I speak that You
will be heard and Your Peace will be with men.
AMEN
DECEMBER 05 THE JESUS QUESTIONS
Jesus is about to take His Place on the cross, one single event that will
forever change the course of history as no single event had ever done
or will ever do!!! When the written history of mankind is reviewed there
will always be the Bible and the story of Salvation and this single event
of Jesus being crucified on the cross has no comparison in all the
other books ever written in the history of the world.
Time has been divided into AD (anno Domini) and BC (before Christ)
with AD being taken from the full original Latin phrase
“anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi”
(meaning “in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”)
so as long as “time is recorded” then the life of Jesus will have to
be acknowledged because nothing can change the Truth that for
these several thousand years now that the life of Jesus has been
the world standard for keeping a record of world history.
All the libraries of the world would have to be purged and every Bible
destroyed just to begin trying to refer to life without referencing
Jesus Christ!
That single event will NEVER happen again and therefore no single
individual will ever accomplish what Jesus did in 33 years on this earth.
The fact that Jesus was sentenced to death by crucifixion which was
prophesied hundreds of years before crucifixion was even used was
another historical fact that will never be reproduced in the history of mankind
because God and only God knows the future and has complete control
of the events that occur, therefore even if a great conspiracy arose
and had the following of all men, then those living at the beginning
of the conspiracy would have to somehow come up with a scenario
that a 1000 years after they wrote the details of the conspiracy that
the conspirators would have to invent something that would somehow
use the enemies of the conspiracy to prove the validity of the conspiracy?
This scenario of enemies being used to prove themselves wrong is
ludicrous but it is exactly what happened with Jesus Christ
BECAUSE his VIRGIN BIRTH, LIFE, DEATH BY CRUCIFIXION,
BURIAL, and RESURRECTION
were predicted thousands of years earlier and were accomplished not
by those who were following Him but were brought about by those who
could only be classified as being against Him, why else would they
sentence Him to death on a cross just as it had been written of the
Jewish Messiah when they were trying to prove that Jesus
was “NOT” the Messiah? Today some will claim Jesus is a myth
but never in the history of the world did the world change the way
time is recorded because of a “myth” —
Jesus walked the earth, was a Jew, and was crucified on a cross
BECAUSE HE IS THE SON OF GOD!!!
Matthew recorded this single event with simple detailed Truth:
“And when they had come to a place called Golgotha,
that is to say, Place of a Skull, they gave Him sour wine
mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it,
He would not drink. Then they crucified Him, and divided
His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken by the prophet.
‘They divided My garments among them,
and for My clothing they cast lots.’”
(Matthew 27:33-35)
This single event has been recorded in every single Bible ever published
and is still being put into print today. The Bible has sold more copies
than any other book in history and will never be overtaken as the
number 1 selling book of all time so therefore there NEVER will be
a single event, spoken of by acknowledged prophets that will occur
thousands of years after the prophecy and that event will come
about exactly as written by the prophet yet accomplished by the
actions of those opposing the prophecy — and then the event, though
unpopular as it was with the world powers at the time, would be written
and published year after year and the world powers could not suppress it —
these facts surrounding this single event of
Jesus and His Death on a Cross
IS in itself the
PROOF that JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!!
