Man’s Doctrine
Some people believe that you have to earn your way into heaven. Evidently they believe that the work of Christ at the cross of Calvary was insufficient to purchase our salvation. They seem to disregard the words of Ephesians 2:8-9 and make up their own set of rules.
But the doctrines of man are not regarding only the questions of salvation. Men seem to make their own set of rules for how to live that are not found in scripture. There are rules about foods, dancing, music, and more. Most of the rules are restrictive and go well beyond the Lord’s Word. They tend to be a legalistic road to salvation.
Jesus was very harsh about such rules. He was the embodiment of grace and the rules of man so clearly defied His grace. Here is what he told the Pharisees.
“Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: These people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. They worship Me in vain, teaching as doctrines the commands of men. Disregarding the command of God, you keep the tradition of men.” Mark 7:6-8 (HCSB)
When a teacher tells his followers that there is something more than grace necessary for their salvation, the teacher is a false prophet and the best thing to do is walk away. Jesus went further in His condemnation of the church leaders.
He also said to them, “You completely invalidate God’s command in order to maintain your tradition!” Mark 7:9 (HCSB)
If you want salvation, you will find it in Jesus Christ, and ONLY in His grace. You cannot earn it. You cannot inherit it. You cannot buy it. You can only receive it.
How can you receive it? Believe in the Name of Jesus Christ. Accept Him as your Lord and Savior. More simply put …. Just ASK.
“So I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. Luke 11:9 (HCSB)

Feeding the 12,000

How much food would it take to feed twelve thousand people? I was once given responsibility to plan for feeding that many people in case of emergency. How would you feed them? How much food would it require? I had to determine that answer and report the quantities to my military superiors.

There is usually twelve slices of baloney per pound. Therefore, for twelve thousand people, it would take a thousand pounds of baloney per meal to give each person a baloney sandwich. That doesn’t count how much bread will be needed. At 24 slices per loaf, it would take a thousand loaves per meal. When I reported that it would take a ton and a half of baloney per day and three thousand loaves of bread, I was asked to determine where we could get that quantity of baloney and bread.

Jesus and His apostles were actually confronted with that same problem. With five thousand men, plus women and children, there were about 12,000 people listening to Jesus preach in the country. When Jesus told the apostles to feed them, they were dumfounded at the task. They had no means to buy a half-ton of baloney; and where will you find a thousand loaves of bread in the middle of the country?

Mark 6:38-44 (HCSB)
38 And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look.” When they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39 Then He instructed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 So they sat down in ranks of hundreds and fifties. 41 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to His disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
42 Everyone ate and was filled.
43 Then they picked up 12 baskets full of pieces of bread and fish. 44 Now those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men.

I wish I had thought of that solution as a military planner, but I doubt my superiors would have understood. The remarkable fact is that Jesus fed these people with three fish and five loaves of bread. After they were done eating their fill, there were twelve baskets of bread and fish left over. When one young boy contributed all the lunch he had, everyone was fed.

When we give what little we have, Jesus multiples it beyond our imagination. Give what you have and watch Jesus put it to work.

Somebody Touched Me
During Jesus’ time a woman was not allowed out in public during her monthly period. She was not only not allowed in the public company of men, but had to stay at home and only women could be in her presence. During this time she was considered unclean according to the law. If she even touched another person, the other person became unclean.
Matthew 9:20 (HCSB) Just then, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for 12 years approached from behind and touched the tassel on His robe,

This is a woman who has tried everything she could to change her situation. She had been bleeding for 12 years. In all that time, she has been a social outcast; she cannot leave the house; she cannot associate with other people; she cannot touch anyone else. She is no better off than the l***r.

She has spent all her money looking for a medical answer, but to no avail. She is still bleeding.

Mark 5:26 (HCSB) (She) had endured much under many doctors. She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse.

But she heard about Jesus and of His healing power. She believed that Jesus was the answer to her condition: her life of exclusion, outcast, disdain, and the physical problems that caused it all.

Mark 5:28 (HCSB) For she said, “If I can just touch His robes, I’ll be made well!”

So she broke all the rules, leaving home and walking into the crowd. Then she went even further into danger: she actually touched the tassels of His robe… and she FELT it. It coursed through her body … she was HEALED … and she knew it.!

Mark 5:29 (HCSB) Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was cured of her affliction.

She saw Jesus as her only hope in a hopeless world of affliction and rejection. She believed and her faith was rewarded.

Whatever the hurt facing you …. Whatever the illness, rejection, sin, or condemnation facing you, you can follow this woman’s example. Just reach out and touch Him … call on the blessed name of Jesus and He’ll hear your cry … and see you through the darkness.

Sinners in Heaven
There will be criminals in heaven who have committed horrible crimes. There will be robbers, murderers, molesters, thieves, and any other form of criminal you can imagine.
There were two men who hung on the cross beside Jesus. Both were revolutionaries who were being executed for their murders and treason toward Caesar. One railed out against Jesus, seeking for his own physical salvation from the cross. The other had obviously been listening to Jesus and observing what was happening to him. This one saw Jesus from a different light.
Two others—criminals—were also led away to be executed with Him. … Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at Him: “Aren’t You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!” But the other answered, rebuking him: “Don’t you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment? We are punished justly, because we’re getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” And He said to him, “I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise. Luke 23:32, 39-43 (HCSB)
What just occurred there? One rejected the truth of Jesus being the Messiah. The other recognized several things: (1) Jesus is the Messiah; (2) death on the cross is not the end of existence; (3) Jesus was going to rule in His Kingdom after dying on the cross; (4) Jesus had the power to “remember” this man in His Kingdom.
He recognized Jesus as Lord, expressed it before mankind, and obviously believed that Jesus would be resurrected. What significance does this have? Read Apostle Paul’s reminder about salvation.
If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 (HCSB)
One criminal rejected Jesus. The other accepted Him. The second one was promised, “Today you will be with Me in paradise.”
If murderers and thieves can go to heaven, can you make it? There is no sin too great to overcome the promise that, “If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Share this joy with someone who thinks their sin is too great to allow them into heaven…. Maybe that person is you.

Father Forgive Them
When Jesus was arrested and put to death, the people who were doing this to Him were fulfilling many prophecies concerning the Messiah, or Savior.
One of His own twelve turned against Him and betrayed Him; as foretold by scripture.
They had Him flogged; as predicted in scripture.
They drove nails through His hands and feet; as foretold in scripture.
The soldiers gambled in front of the cross to see who would get His get His robe; as predicted in scripture.
They paid thirty pieces if silver for the price of betrayal; as foretold in scripture.
When Judas Iscariot tried to give the money back, they used it to buy a potter’s pit. This too was predicted in scripture.
But the real wonder of it all is that most of these things were performed by the very people who had been teaching the prophecies about the Messiah they were expecting to come at any day. They performed the very acts that they, the teachers of the law and prophecies, had been teaching would occur. Yet, they were not able to see that they were fulfilling their teachings.
Is it any wonder that as Jesus hung on the cross, He prayed these words:
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided His clothes and cast lots. Luke 23:34 (HCSB)
These people, who were the teachers of the prophecy, were so blinded that they could not see that they were performing the very deeds foretold for centuries; and they didn’t even know what they were doing. And they stood and watched as the Roman soldiers fulfilled yet another prophecy by gambling for his clothes.
We, who have read the prophecies can see their error, but can we see our own fulfillment of the prophecies of the end times? Look around you and ask if Jesus might have the same prayer for you: “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…”
