Casting Your Worries Onto Him…

29 Mar

Philippians 4:6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”


With so much going on in the world today, always trust the Most High with all your cares. While many struggle with raising families, mortgages and health concerns it’s natural to worry. Though it is common to worry about the unknown, it’s important to counter it with the Word of God.
The Holy Bible answers the concern of worrying with prayer. By letting our troubles be known to YAH, who sent His son Jesus to pay the price for our sins. YAH did not save us only to let us lead a life of worry about the things of tomorrow. 

1 Peter 5:7 states, “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.“Jesus is the answer! Coming to YAH in prayer and with strong faith, will strengthen your spirit and endurance to win the race of every obstacle in your life. Why? It is one of the sole purposes He came into this world! Matthew 11:28-30, 

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light,” Shalom…

Death Through Adam, Alive In Christ…

26 Mar

1 Corinthians 15:21-22 , “For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”

One absolute fact is that even though having extraordinary faith in Jesus, we all must die someday. This is due to death being the last thing to be defeated by Jesus at His second coming (1 Corinthians 15:26). 

Our earthly death unfortunately may come at any moment, while we are young or old. This is why the holy scriptures says to be ready to meet the Lord (Matt 24:44). Placing our faith in Jesus saves our soul and spirit but the corruptible body will perish.

Jesus Christ has saved us from a spiritual death, on His second coming those still leaving and dead will be raised incorruptible from death’s touch, Shalom…

The Credence Of The Eyewitness Accounts…

21 Mar

2 Peter 1:16, “For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.”

The eye witness accounts of the risen Jesus Christ is one of the foundations of the Christian faith. Being born again and having faith in the Holy Bible is supported by key eye witness testimony.

 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, “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, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.”

The crucifixion of Jesus happened between 28 to 33 AD. With the earliest written accounts documented being the Apostle Paul’s letters. The book of Galatians was transcribed 48 AD and First Thessalonians between 49-51, and the earliest Gospel of Mark written 70 or 80 AD. The earliest being Galatians which was written 20 to 25 years after the ressurection.

Paul after His born again experience (Acts 9) traveled and spoke with those who saw the risen Jesus. Documenting their accounts not only to strengthen His faith but unknowingly ours. Separating facts from mythology and into historical truth. While the Gospel accounts differentiate in all four books in small details (as can be expected as all witness may have seen different details from that day) they all claim that Jesus did die and was risen from the dead by YAH.

I look forward to when we as Believers can give our own testimony of seeing the risen Jesus after the second coming, Shalom…

Josephus

18 Mar

Josephus a Roman/Jewish historian between AD 37-AD 100, is an important extra-biblical individual to the Christian faith. Important due to the fact he documented that Jesus Christ lived and His existence is recorded outside of the Holy Bible. His two most famous works, The Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews which accounts of key people, events and the Jewish way of life.
While I believe the Holy Bible should always be the main source of any account of Jesus Christ it’s always refreshing to hear about our Savior outside of the scriptures (see below), Shalom.

 Now, there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works-a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; (64) and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.

The Big Bang and The Resurrection, The Bible’s Two Great Miracles…

3 Mar

Genesis 1:3, “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.“

Outside of the resurrection of Jesus Christ the Big Bang is one of YAH’s most impressive miracles! The calling of the physical universe into existence from nothing. The Big Bang is astronomers way of explaining how this universe began from a single point and expanded out.

When you think of the idea, nothing can manifest into a physical form from nothing. Space, time, planets and gravity came into existence from nowhere to form perfect harmony for sustaining life. The individual creating the universe also must exist outside of it, as nothing is created from within if nothing existed first.

Once the world fell into sin from the fall, YAH once again said “Let their be light,” and sent Jesus into the world to save us all. John 8:12, “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Born of a virgin, perfect in nature and without sin. 

Two miracles, one proven through the scriptures and recorded eyewitness accounts, the other through science and theory. Both pointing to a omnipotent divine creator, willing to invade time and space to create and save His creation, Shalom…
