JOHN 3:16
John 3:16-17
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 is one of the most recognized, most
memorized and most spoken verse in all of Scripture. It can be seen printed on
T-Shirts, Banners and even on signs at sports events. This one verse sums up
all of Scripture: God loved humanity, but humanity sinned and thus, is
condemned to Eternity in Hell, but because of God’s great love for us, He sent
His only unique Son, Jesus Christ, God in human form into the world that thru
Him. His death and His resurrection, whoever comes to Him in faith and
repentance will not die, but have Everlasting Life!
Without salvation from our sins, the whole world is
condemned to Hell. No matter what kind of life we would have lived; even if we
were to become the richest person who ever lived; to die and spend eternity in
Hell would not be worth it. Beyond death, there is no second chance; no
repentance, no forgiveness.
Hebrews 9:27-28
It is appointed for men to die once, but after this
the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who
eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for
salvation.
Jesus Christ is God’s FREE GIFT of Salvation! We
cannot earn it nor do we deserve it. It is unmerited (not earned) grace
(undeserved favor).
Ephesians 2:4-9
But God, who is rich in MERCY, because of His great
LOVE with which He LOVED US, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us
alive together with Christ (BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED), and raised us up
together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that
in the ages to come that He might show the exceeding riches of His GRACE in His
KINDNESS toward us in Christ Jesus. For by GRACE you “HAVE BEEN SAVED” through
FAITH, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is the GIFT of God, NOT OF WORKS (not good deeds), lest anyone
should boast.
Examine the words I capitalized; meditate on these.
Think and see how very much God loves a world gone wrong; how much God loves
you! God has made a way for us to escape the judgment to come. He has provided
a sacrifice for our sins. It all started that night in Bethlehem, Israel, where
Jesus lay in a lowly manger. This is the event that would change the world
forever!
So many of us get depressed because we get caught up
in what we have not obtained or cannot achieve. I urge you to focus on what HAS
BEEN DONE for you! Heavens gates are wide open, accepting anyone who would turn
from their sins and towards Jesus Christ. Salvation is for ANYONE who would put
their faith in Christ. No matter what you have done, where you have gone, where
you are now, there is Forgiveness for you! Come just as you, where you are and
grab hold of God’s Free Gift of Salvation!
For all those who trust in Christ, the day is coming
when everything will made new, corrected, made clear. This is the greatest news
for the poor, the lame, the diseased, the hopeless and all those who ruined
their lives and desire another chance. This world is temporary, it is fading;
Eternity is forever and Heaven is perfect! Don’t let the troubles of this life
bring you down. What God has for you in Heaven makes ANYTHING you can possibly
go through down here to get there…worth it! Look at the amazing verse:
1 Corinthians
2:9
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear
heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared
for those who love Him.”
WOW!!
God says you can’t even imagine the awesome things
He has prepared for those who follow Jesus. Nothing can explain it, nor can you
compare it with ANYTHING great you can think of. Think about it! Think about
ALL the things you could possibly wish for if God granted you EVERY and ANY
wish you desire…ANY…are you seeing this is your mind? Money, Fame, Health,
Peace, Rest, Food, Amazing Travel, ...ANYTHING!
With all you can dream up…your Every wish…God says
“IT DOESN’T EVEN COME CLOSE” to all the things He has prepared for you! WoW!
Makes you want to stop focusing so much on all the things you Don’t Have, and
focus on all the things you have to look forward to!
God has given the world a PRICELESS GIFT: JESUS
CHRIST!
Every day, think on these things. Focus your mind
and heart on God’s Gift…to YOU! Think about what all this means. I know life
can be hard, but God has made a way. Let Christ remind you of why you were
created, saved and whose child you are and where you are going. When Jesus’ disciples were amazed at the
power given to them to cast out demons, Jesus replied:
Luke 10:20
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the
spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written
in heaven.”
If You Are A Christian; REJOICE! Because YOUR NAME is WRITTEN IN HEAVEN!

CHICKEN LITTLE THINKING
CHicken LIttle THinking
Do you know the story of Chicken Little? He was a
little chick on a farm that had the unfortunate experience of being hit on the
head by an acorn. He didn't know it was an acorn, so he immediately thought the
sky was falling. What was a chick to do? He did what any other chick would do;
he went to sound the alarm to the rest of the farm animals.
As you can imagine, the whole farm was in a panic
and ran to seek shelter. Mr. Fox was only too happy to help his fellow
creatures with finding shelter from the impending doom: his den. Needless to
say, Mr. Fox ate well that evening!
The moral of this children's classic is; stay away
from acorns and foxes.
More seriously, stop being so panicky and gullible.
How many acorns have landed on your head that you imagined it to be the falling
sky? How many rumors and "concerned" friends have you listened to that
told you of falling skys, but turned out to be acorns? How may foxes have you
encountered? People posing as helpful agents, only to take advantage of your
vulnerability?
You have to remain cautious of every bit of news you
receive and every circumstance. Evaluate the situation carefully and rationally
before reacting. It is so easy to act first and think later and so hard to fix
any damage as a result. Being rash and impulsive wars against you being a
better you. Now sometimes the sky will actually be falling, but even then,
don't run around like a chicken with her head cut off; make it your priority to
maintain a leveled head.
I know for some, training the mind not to act on
emotion can be a huge challenge, but the benefits of such as just as huge.
Being a strong and successful woman, in her personal and public life takes
work. Pause before reacting. Take a deep breath. Give yourself space to think
rationally, “then” proceed.
With everything and anything, the more you practice,
the more successful you will be at it.
"That which we persist in doing becomes easier
for us to do; not that the nature of the thing is changed, but that our power
to do is increased. - Emerson
Don't think like a chicken, be shrewd as a fox.
God Bless

FATHER FORGIVE THEM
Father
Forgive Them
As our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ hang dying on
the cross, one of His last statements was, “Father forgive them, for they do
not know what they do.”
This declaration comes on the heels of Him being
falsely accused, mocked and made fun of, publically humiliated, spit on, a
crown of thorns crushed into His skull, physically beaten, flogged with whips
containing jagged bone fragments which ripped his skin with every blow until He
was beyond human recognition, 3 3-4 inch nails driven through his flesh and
bones and hung on a cross, left to die slowly with his organs failing and
rupturing one by one.
These people were evil! they plotted and planned and
forced His brutal execution. So how could Jesus say that they didn’t know what
they were doing? They knew EXACTLY what they were doing and loved every minute
of it! How could He turn and forgive them?! It was UNFORGIVABLE what they did!
That’s Jesus for you!!
I love Jesus! He not only talked the talk, but
walked the walk! Earlier, He had commanded the people to love their enemies and
forgive those who despitefully use them. To forgive even if it meant 70 x 70
times a day!
Jesus knew what we fail to see and understand. Sin,
such as hate, bitterness and unforgiveness is from Satan, not God. It is
foreign to the humanity that God created; a disease, an alien invasion. Acting
like the devil is basically being demon possessed or at the least under the
influence of the evil one.
Like the drunk, drug addict or psychotic person, the
actions they carry out are done in a “right” state of mind. From Jesus’
perspective, that “right” state is God’s state of mind. So in effect, He could
forgive ANYONE by reason of “INSANITY”.
This holds true for us also. When people do you
wrong; hurt you, use you, treat you evil, forgive them; “By reason of insanity!”
These evil people are doing things which are foreign
to God’s will for them. They are under the influence of another; Satan. They
are not acting rational or “sane” as God created them and therefore are “Insane”.
When you view people from this “God perspective”,
you’d be surprised at how much easier it is to forgive people and let go of
past hurts. Someone hurts me and I say to myself, “I forgive them, because if
they were under God’s influence, they would not have done that.”
This is not “letting people off the hook”. It is
thinking scripturally and obeying God. It is also good for your own soul. We
have enough to deal with in our everyday lives, carrying around the baggage of
hurt just weighs us down even more. Set yourself FREE! By forgiveness and right
perspective, leave the evil and hurt to God to deal with and only allow your
mind to focus of good things.
It’s a new year; a better year. Start it off right
and finish it right by acting right. You could “choose” to discount everything I
have said and ignore everything that Jesus commanded, but then; would that make
you “Sane” or “Insane”?
They know “not” what they do; you “do”! Think About
It!
God Bless
