| Lesson 81: The Law of The Old That is Covered in the New Testament: The Way Of Life 4/13/2014 by turtle30c John 11:21-28 KJV (21) Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. (22) But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. (23) Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. (24) Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. (25) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: (26) And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? (27) She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. (28) And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. The purpose of life and the purpose of death. If wages of sin is death, then how much sinning does it take to die? If belief in Jesus brings eternal life, then why do we still die the physical death. If we be dead we must consider what bring life more abundantly. The devil would love for us all to die before our due date. He would love to destroy the universe. Hitler killed over 2 million people, and Dr. Kevorkian assisted in how many suicides, justifying it by terminal illness. Hitler justification was hate. Is the war we fight overseas about hate, or about protection of a people. Was Hitler trying to protect a group and took out revenge on a people who would not bow to him. If the wages of sin is death we need no one to kill us, our payment is coming from God. Yet if life also comes from God and we face death then there is victory after death or maybe before if the rapture of the church comes. To be able to live an abundant life one is to live for the Lord, yet we know good people outwardly even see an early grave. We have no way of seeing the heart of man, not the physical but the spiritual heart of man to know what is taking place. Yet belief in a Savior brings about eternal life. Is it mind control or simply understanding the need for salvation. That our own evil ways are beyond what God original plan for man was. Is our belief based on our own understanding? Most would agree in religious world these type of questioning is fruitless. Yet to explore the reasoning we believe so strongly in a resurrection might be necessary, if nothing more to understand, giving a clean slate to someone and allowing them to start over is sometimes necessary in life to see drastic change in a person. I believe religion is more then psychology. Yet to understand that God’s ways brings to life in this world, a safer environment then what we might create, is true. The point is to believe in Jesus is to understand He came and live in the flesh and walked among the people to bring hope. God desire is to return one day with the Son to live forever with a people that will desire Him being in charge, so He can take away all the pain and sorrow out of our lives. To never feel persecution, hate, evil, death, turmoil of sin, and corruption. Jesus felt the evil of this world, yet while among us, He shown light of what it would be like to be with Him everyday. Jesus called for Lazarus to come from the Tomb, and he rose again. There would be no more sorrow if Jesus is living with us all the time, because the tombs we might build would be empty. Miracles happen to explain to us what it will be like to be with Jesus on a regular bases. Our bodies change to incorruptibility like Christ in heaven. Our need for healing gone, our need for tears gone. Think what that would be like for a minute. Martha understood that resurrection would happen in last days but did not know if Jesus will was to see Lazarus rise again today. Think for a moment while Jesus walked the earth He healed many that would receive Him, and brought hope to the lost. Miracles happening left and right to bring hope. Do you need hope, do you need a miracle, do you want Jesus to return today and not later. Yet all the while having not the understanding why it not happening today. Is it God’s will to heal today, if not today maybe tomorrow. It is God’s will to make us all whole, but God’s timing and ways are not ours yet, only salvation is ours today and hope of a tomorrow. Healing will come when the darkness fades for eternity, but not until. God’s timing. Are we seeped in sin, and not willing to try it God’s way. Why not first take a step towards faith, if you receive not the healing God will give you the strength to carry on. Do not let the devil steal your life from you. Do not let evil be your focus or revenge. Evil sometimes has to die, before life can bring hope. Only through belief in Jesus and His way can we see miracles of God for the benefits of His people, and not the miracles of God that bring about destruction of evil. Dear Heavenly Father there are those that would love to steal my faith today, but it can not be removed by devil’s hand, because your seal is on my life. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
