"Jesus answered and said to them, 

                       You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God." *

Those of us who have been born again, born from above literally, by God's grace and mercy, not of anything we have done or will ever do, it is a gift of God, not of works, have been given a second chance. To worship God and enjoy Him forever.                                                                                                                                                         

I see in nature the very mind of God. God's beauty in His creation. The endless created wonders of an all powerful, sustaining, gracious, caring and loving God. Who invites those who are burdened and heavy laden who have heard the call, to come to Him 

                                           

                                            

Mankind launches telescopes into the vast advance of space to observe the cosmos and come back with  more questions than answers. Theories and hypothesis crumble and disintegrate into oblivion as what has or is a belief that they rallied around creating  more problems than answers. When in reality the universe is far more mysterious and complex.That it doesn't make any sense within the confines of mankinds limited knowledge and  conclusion. With the result, the universe should not even exist.**  Yet it does.                                                                    

                                            

The Holy Scriptures of the Christian faith, the Bible speaks to us  with these Words: In the beginning God created the heavens and earth. That indeed he spoke it out by His Word. Who was in the beginning with God and was God. For that Word, (the devine reason that orders the cosmos and gives it form and meaning) , that Word is,was and forever will be/is Jesus Christ. (John 1:1-5)                                                                                        

Two thousand years ago God sent that Word into this world. He made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. The Son of God took on a body of flesh, blood and bones, humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death on the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.   

                                              

When mankind, represented by Adam and Eve,  doubted the Word of God and disobeyed and  listened rather to the serpent, (the adversary of God...the devil or satan)  who told them, you shall not die but  you shall be like God. They listened, disobeyed God's command and were cast out of the garden of Eden. Scripture tells us all things were then subjected to futility, vanity, uselessness, pointlessness, to corruption by God Himself.  Disobedience and disbelief in the God who formed them from the dust of the earth  was judged. The sentence of death was bestowed on all God's creation. And the entire creation fell into disarray. Not only for them, but also for all their progeny.That is all the human race that comes after.  But God has not left us without hope.                                                                                                                                                                                             

                                                              

That Blessed Hope is the gospel message. For without the shedding of blood. Rrepresented in the Old Testament animal  sacrifices, which scripture tells us," in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.  For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins." For by man sin came into the world, so that only by a man, not just any man, but the Word,  God's One and Only Son, who was not tainted by sin and corruption. Obeyed His Father, came down from heaven, born to a virgin and thus was perfect in all aspects, of His humanity. Maintaining His purity despite living in a sinful world. The divine, Word clothed Himself in human flesh, took on the nature of man. Jesus the One and Only Son of the Father  spoken about 750 years before His birth by Isaiah the Prophet:

For unto us a Child is born,

Unto us a Son is given;

And the government will be upon His shoulder.

And His name will be called

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

                                                      

Jesus willingly obeyed  and always did His Father's will. And in him God he Father is well pleased. and He tells us to "Listen to him." For He has the words of eternal life, forgiveness for sins, and escape from the ravages of Hell. For the fer of the Lord is  the beginning of wisdom. And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.(Proverbs 9:10)

                                                  

And a man in the synagogue with an unclean spirit (demon) cried out in the presence of Jesus  saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”  Yes even the demons believe and tremble. So do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matt. 10:28)

For Jesus Christ, The Son of God, Son of Man Himself proclaimed "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No One comes to the Father except through me."(John 14:6)

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) 

Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.  (John 5:17-18)

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.  I and My Father are one.” (John 10:27-30)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.(John 3:16-17)

And when John in his revelation was in the Spirit on the Lord's day he saw One like the Son of man, with eyes like a flame of fire, out of His mouth came a sharp two edged sword and an exhibted an appearance like the sun shining in its strenght. John fell at his feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on John, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.  I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. (See Revelation 1:12-20)

                                                   

Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2)

For when you honor the Son, you honor the Father who sent him....For in him (Jesus) dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. It took a perfect man to secure our salvation for as Jesus himself said, "to have a place in the kingdom of God, you must be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect." No mere moral man or woman could pay that required cost. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And in God's sight there is no one righteous no not one. (Rom. 3:10-18; 26)

                                                          

Jesus was given given a divine task that would secure the deliverance of mankind from bondage to sin and a place in the Kingdom of God. The human race, lost, fallen and blinded to God's truth would be given a second chance. God would open hearts to believe, confess, repent, believe, trust and obey. Jesus came to deliver us from the wrath of God. And bestow upon undeserving sinners everlasting  life That is the Good news. "For God has delivered us from the power of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,  in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.(Col. 1:13-14) That is the  Gospel:

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,  and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,   (1 Cor. 15:3-4)

Jesus came into the world to save sinners. To remove the shackles of a heart blinded by the god of this age, the enemy of all mankind, the devil, satan and deliver us into the kingdom of His love. For if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God has raised Him from the dead you will be saved. Saved from the wrath of God that is coming and into eternal  life, with a citizenship in heaven. In the presence of God and the glory of his power. There is no other way to escape the judgement of God. For the world and its desires are passing away more and more each day.  Those who have the Son have life. Those who have not the Son shall not have life but the wrath of God abides on them. (1 John 5:12, John 3:36)  

                                                 

  “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matt. 7:13-14)

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Rev. 21:8)

Those  who believe in the Son have everlasting life; and those who do not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. (John 3:36)

                                          

Come to me all of you who are tired. You are like people who have worked for a long time. You are like people who have carried heavy things. Come to me. If you do that, you will find a place to rest.  Do what I teach you to do. Listen to my message and learn from me what is true. I am very kind and I do not make myself important. I will help you. Then you will have peace in your mind.  I will not tell you to do things that are too difficult. I will not tell you to carry anything that is too heavy for you.’ (Matt. 11:28-30)
