Highway to hell.
Good morning warriors! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted anything here, but today God wanted me to write about the highway to hell.
Jesus tells us that way to life and to Him is narrow.
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:14.
In the previous verse, Matthew 7:13, Jesus tells us: Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
This is why it is called the highway to hell, because that is exactly where it leads. In fact I can picture it as an interstate during rush hour! The enemy is busy and at work, leading people to destruction.
Several years ago I asked God to break my heart for what breaks His. He has done that. I hurt for people knowing they are going to on the wrong path and going to hell. I, like Jesus want everyone to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and enter heaven.
In my time with the Lord, He has shown me the highway and how crowded it is, and it breaks my heart. It truly looks like a interstate highway during rush hour. So many people headed to destruction.
We need to be following Jesus to the narrow gate that leads to life everlasting. We also need to be telling people the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and get them off the highway to hell. Be a blessing today to someone and share the Gospel with them.

Blessings,

Good morning warriors! How many times have you seen someone get healed, and not thank God for it?
Today I am reading in the book of Luke. I am reading about the ten men healed. You can find this in Luke 17:11-19.
11 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”
These ten men had the same problem, leprosy. Upon learning that Jesus was visiting their town, they cried out. Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! Indeed they were in desperate need of heavenly intervention. Not only were they suffering from the dreaded skin condition, but lepers had to identify themselves by yelling, “unclean unclean” so that people would not get close enough to be contaminated by them. They had to live apart from others and could not participate communal life. Their condition was incurable from an earthly perspective.
According to Leviticus 13-14 the priests were responsible for examining those with skin diseases and pronouncing them either clean or unclean. Once the men were declared “clean”, they could return to full participation of the covenant community under the blessings of God.
In verses 15-16 this guy didn’t care what anyone thought; he was not ashamed to give God vocal praise and to pay physical homage for intervening in his life. Many people even believers, only want physical blessings from the Lord and lose out on the true spiritual blessings that come through worship, praise, and thanksgiving.
The word translated saved can also mean deliver or make well, depending on the context. I know after all the surgeries and the car driving through the house and landing on top of me, I was giving a lot of praise and worship to Him. By rights, I should have been killed, but He had other plans for me. I have not ceased in praising Him or worshipping Him since then. I am sure we have all had situations where we knew God intervened in our lives. Did you thank and praise Him?

Blessings,

Good morning warriors! Are you worthy of God’s Kingdom? That is what we all strive for. Paul spoke to the Thessalonians about it in 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12.
God’s Judgment and Glory
3 We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.
This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— 6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed. 11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Though the Thessalonians were experiencing difficult times, their faith was strong. Trials expand faith, just like exercise develops muscle. After all, how will you know God is bigger than your problems unless God gives you some you can’t handle on your own, some “faith weights”?
Other churches were being encouraged by the Thessalonians spiritual commitment, patience, and love for one another in spite of the persecution they were enduring. Remember, you go to church not just for yourself but also to impact the lives of others through meaningful service. Don’t disconnect. When believers suffer for the faith, they are gaining greater Kingdom rewards and authority.
What’s the most frightening doctrine in the Bible? The doctrine of hell. If you don’t know Christ, pay attention; a day of reckoning is coming! Eternal destruction means never-ending pain and regret. Those who like to hand out with satan in life will be away from the Lord’s presence after death. There will no answered prayers in hell. There will be no light and no peace. Those who choose God on the other hand, will experience glory unspeakable when they pass from this life.
Paul knew that if the Thessalonian church was recharged by prayer, it would have an even more powerful witness;” The name of our Lord will be glorified by you”.
If you go through a particularly difficult season and choose to lean on the Lord in prayer, somebody may look at you and ask, “how can you smile at a time like this? How are you standing when you ought to be stooping?” The answer will be that “those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength, they will run and not become weary” (Isaiah 40:31).

Good morning warriors! Are you carrying one another’s burdens? Are you helping a brother or sister burdened by sin? This is what we are called to do is carry one another’s burdens. You can find Paul’s teaching in Galatians 6:1-10.
Carry One Another’s Burdens
1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

When you help a fellow Christian in trouble due to a sin from which they can’t free themselves, you must do so with a gentle spirit. Gentleness doesn’t mean soft-pedaling the diagnosis or the prescription. We’re not to compromise the truth. Instead, we are to treat the person as we’d want to be treated, with patience, care, and kindness, restoring him or her with the least amount of pain possible. But be careful. Watch out that you aren’t tempted as well. The tempter who wreaked havoc in your brother’s life has his eye on you too.
Burdens don’t necessarily imply sin. The burdens of life can include all sorts of weighty problems; physical, relational, financial, and emotional. Believers are to serve one another like spotters serving those who are lifting weights. When the strain of a burden becomes more than an individual can bear, a spotter helps life the weight off his chest. Carrying the burden of another can take an unlimited number of forms, including prayer, making time for a person, providing practical assistance, giving financial assistance, and providing a listening ear. Such burden bearing will fulfill the law of Christ, the law of love.
No one is too good to serve and carry burdens. After all, the Lord Jesus served His disciples by washing their feet. If the Master didn’t consider Himself above service, how can we?
The only one to whom you should compare yourself is Jesus. Do that, and you’ll never think more of yourself than you ought.
Helping with burdens doesn’t mean carrying someone’s full load for them so that they are alleviated of all responsibility. Each must be willing to carry his own backpack.
It’s right and good to invest materially in that which brings you spiritual life and growth. Reciprocity in ministry keeps believers from becoming selfish and self-centered.
God has established certain laws that govern the universe He has made. This is true in the physical world (ie: the law of gravity). But it’s true of the spiritual world as well. Paul articulates an important spiritual law or principle when he says, “whatever a person sows he will also reap”. A farmer harvests exactly what he plants. If he sows potatoes, he won’t be looking to harvest green beans. Decide what you want to harvest spiritually, and let that control what you decide to Sow.
The law is universal (it applies to all people everywhere) and inviolable (it proves true without fail). Don’t kid yourself into believing that you can rebel against God without consequence.
Remember, that there’s an appropriate seasonal time gap for the purpose of development between sowing and reaping.
We are to sow in the Spirit by busily doing good works that benefit others in Jesus’ name. And while we are called to show love to all people, we are to have a special love for the people of God.

Jim

Good morning warriors! Christ came to fulfill the law, not abolish it. Matthew talks about this in Matthew 5:17-20.
Christ Fulfills the Law
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
The law or the prophets is a way of referring to the Old Testament, which was intended to point to Christ. He, in fact, is the theme of the Old Testament scriptures. In order to provide us with righteousness, making us acceptable before God, he had to live a life of complete obedience to God’s law.
Unless, as a disciple of Jesus, you are committed to growing in righteousness, the heavenly Kingdom will not be expressed in your earthly history. The scribes and Pharisees were concerned only with the external righteousness.
God not only considers our actions but also our thoughts and words. He’s concerned with the motives of the heart.

Jim

Good morning warriors! Today I am in the book of Hebrews, specifically in chapter 6. We have all had friends that were once on fire for God but then suddenly turned away and stopped going to church. Let’s look at chapter 6 which tackles falling away. You can find it in Hebrews 6:1-12
1 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting, we will do so.
4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation. 10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. 11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. Hebrews 6:1-12

Some feel that verses 4-6 the description isn’t a reference to believers. Some say that the people described here have merely tasted the heavenly gift, but didn’t go all the way to ingest it. But Hebrews also says that Jesus tasted death for everyone. You can be certain that He didn’t just nibble death, He died! The people described in verses 4-6 are Christians.
So what’s going on here then? The author of Hebrews says if such people have fallen away, it’s impossible to renew them to repentance. Some interpreters think this means Christians can lose their salvation, but the rest of the Bible clearly teaches our eternal security in Christ. So if this text teaches that believers can lose their salvation, it also teaches that it’s impossible for them to return to Christ. Remember the author has just urged the readers to “go on to maturity”. The problem is that they are in danger of having hardened, rebellious hearts because they refuse to press in on spiritual growth. To persist in this state is to forget what God has done for you, acting like those who crucified the Son of God and held Him up to contempt. To stubbornly refuse to follow Christ in obedience is to mock Him.
It’s impossible to renew such unfaithful believers to repentance, But we should ask impossible for whom? After all Jesus said “With God all things are possible” Mark 19:26 The issue then is not God’s inability to bring someone back to repentance, it’s man’s inability to do so. God has to directly intervene.
In verses 7-8 the author is not describing eternal judgment here. The Bible speaks of fire in hell, but fire is also used to describe God’s discipline of believers.
God’s purpose in saving you was not merely so you will go to heaven when you die, He wants to use you here until you die, and then reward you with your Kingdom inheritance when He returns. Your usefulness increases as you grow in spiritual maturity during y our pilgrimage from earth to glory. Keep pressing in, keep seeking God, and get closer to Him. He will grant you the wisdom you need to complete the tasks He wants you to do. You will also grow in your relationship with Him. I don’t know about you guys, but He is my best friend!!!

Good morning warriors! In the day of Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit came upon Peter, he gave a great sermon. The ending of the sermon called for repentance. Let’s look at that part in Acts 2: 37-41.
Call For Repentance
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
The New Testament is clear that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, apart from works. But repentance and baptism are to accompany faith. To repent is to turn from sin too God. It is also a change, a change of heart, a change of attitude, and a change of actions. To be baptized in the name of Jesus is to obediently go public with a profession of faith in Him.
Since the goal of repentance is to reduce or remove the consequences of sin, Peter was calling on the Jews who had witnessed and endorsed the crucifixion of Jesus, to publicly renounce their actions via baptism.
With three thousand conversions to faith in Christ, the church was off to an amazing start.
Let’s keep the fire going strong, stand up for Christ, stand up in your faith in Christ, and share Him with someone today.

Blessings,
Jim

Good morning warriors! Do you know your role as a servant in the Kingdom? Paul tells us about it in 1 Corinthians 3:5-17.
The Role Of God’s Servants
5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
If believers are to align themselves with anyone, it should be with the Lord, not with His servants. He’s our source of spiritual life and growth.
Spiritually speaking, the only foundation you want to build on is Jesus because He paid top dollar, so to speak, to save you from your sins so that you might have eternal life and fellowship with God.
To obey God’s Word and be faithful with what He has given is to build wisely using precious metals and stones. But to disregard His Word and live for yourself is to build foolishly using worthless materials. Such work just won’t last. “The Day” is a reference to that time when Christians will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Under the revealing gaze of the Lord Jesus, the quality of our work will be tested by fire to determine our level of loss or rewards.
The verse 15 affirms the eternal security of unfaithful believers who enter heaven with little or nothing to show in terms of service to God and His Kingdom.
It is no small thing in God’s eyes to bring destruction upon His church (His Temple),
Are you serving the Lord today? Reach out and show someone the love of Jesus!

Blessings,

Jim

Good morning warriors! I hope you are doing well. Today let’s look in the Book of John. I want to specifically talk about chapter 14:6-7
6 “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6-7
There are some things in here that are so powerful. First of all, He is telling us that He is the only way to get to the Father. The awesome part of that is in verse 7 He tells us HE is the father!! So let’s breakdown verse 6. He says that He is the way the truth the life. He is the only way to get there. Not by good works, which are good to do but we can’t enter into Heaven by works. He states He is the truth. Earlier in the book of John in verse one John states:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. John 1:1
So the Word was there from the beginning and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The Word is the truth. God only speaks truth, therefore the Bible is God breathed, therefore, it is the truth. So Jesus is telling us again He is the truth or the Word. He is also telling us He is God. That makes it even more awesome that Jesus (God) set aside His deity to walk as man among His people. There are many reasons why He came. Most know for the sins of the world, which is true. He also came to defeat the works of the devil, and to also warn of the pending destruction of Jerusalem later in 70 A.D. He also showed us how to live and to deal with people. We need as followers to share the love of Jesus with everyone we can, but first we have to HAVE the love of Jesus within us. If Jesus fills our hearts with the Spirit, our hearts are full. Out of our hearts comes what we speak. If we have the love of Jesus in our hearts that is what will come out of our mouth. If we have evil in our hearts, that too is what will come out of our mouth. Stay in His love!
Ok so we have established that He is the way, and He is the truth. He also says He is the life. This means eternal life. Through Jesus we have eternal life given to us freely by a loving God. Through his great gift, we can spend the rest of eternity with Jesus! We have been adopted into His family when we are in Jesus and He is in us.
He further states that if we know Him, we know the Father, because He IS the Father. He also says we have seen Him. Of course He was talking to Thomas, the great doubter. There is one in every crowd, we have seen them and talked to them. Are you a Thomas? Read the book of John again, slowly absorbing it in, and you will have no more doubts. Everything that Jesus did was for man, which is why He called Himself son of man. He showed us how to treat others, to love others, to help others and to heal others. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead resides in all of us who believe. It’s there, given freely, use it! Remember He is the way the truth the life. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to get to know Him, so you can spend eternity with Him? You can, very easily. His yoke is easy, believe!

Good morning warriors! Do you fellowship with God? He is the light, and if we aren’t in the light, we are in darkness. Let’s look at 1 John 1:5-10.
Fellowship with God
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.
When John describes God as light, he calls to mind Jesus’ words as recorded in his Gospel; “The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19). The function of light is to reveal things as they truly are, to expose. If you shine a light down a city alley at night, you’ll see cockroaches scatter because they want to do their dirty work in secret. If you want God’s personal presence and activity in your life, you must be willing to allow His light to expose sinful thoughts, attitudes, speech, and actions that are inconsistent with His character.
Fellowship with God is determined by our walk not by our talk. Only as we live fully exposed to the truth of God is the ongoing cleansing work of the blood of Jesus activated to reveal, cleanse, and empower us to address the sin that has been exposed. Then fellowship with God is maintained and expanded. Failure to do this keeps God’s work dormant in the life of the believer.
When we confess our sins to God, we are agreeing with that God’s Word reveals about us. We are admitting that what the light exposes is not just a mistake, a bad habit, or a mere product of our upbringing. It’s sin. This allows forgiveness and cleansing power to flow. To deny your sin is to call God a liar and forfeit the hope of His Word doing it’s transforming work in your life.

Blessings,

Jim

Good morning warriors! Today I am looking in Isaiah 53. This is Isaiah’s prophecy of Jesus the coming Messiah. This prophecy occurred 700 years before Jesus came.
1 Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4 Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the LORDmakes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the LORDwill prosper in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
So when we take a closer look at this prophecy, it’s pretty accurate, almost spot on. The great sin of Israel’s leaders and people was their failure to recognize their Messiah when He came. That is because He didn’t come as they thought He would with all the pomp and circumstance. No, He came as a man and a servant of man. A carpenter’s son. Jesus set aside His deity to walk as a man, and they couldn’t see it. He grew up right in front of them, however didn’t show His majesty. He had no appearance that we should desire Him, and he was in turn despised and rejected even though they knew the Messiah would be coming. They knew the scriptures, they had all memorized them. Yet still, they didn’t recognize Him.
He preformed many miracles and other signs and wonders right in front of them, yet they still didn’t believe. He taught and spoke to them, yet they didn’t believe. He bore our sicknesses and carried our pain (thus the signs and miracles) but they regarded Him as stricken.
The religious leaders were scared of Him, and jealous because more and more people were following Him. This made them nervous, especially when He turned over the tables in the temple. He hit them where their hearts were, in the money. The religious leaders were concerned for two things, money and status. They were supposed to be leaders and shepherds of their flocks. They were so worried about Jesus, they had Him killed. Beaten, flogged and beaten beyond recognition as a man, then hung on a cross. He was pierced for our rebellion and crushed for our iniquities. Our punishment was on Him, He took on the sin of the world and by His wounds we are healed. During all of this torture, pain and suffering He went through, He didn’t utter a word.
At the end, he uttered the words, “it is finished”. What was finished? It was the works of the Father that is finished. He had completed His mission to do the work of His Father. He didn’t have to, but He knew it was a price WE couldn’t pay, so He came and paid it. He paid it all for us. We need to give thanks every single day of our lives for what He did for us. Do not let a day go by without thanking Jesus. It was our death that He paid. The cross was ours, yet He paid it.
This my friends is why we need to follow Jesus. We owe Him. All He wants is our heart, a heart longing for Him. He is sitting at the right hand of the Father with His arms open wide for us.
So pick up your cross and follow Jesus. Seek Him and you will find Him.

Blessings,

Jim
