JESUS NEVER FAILS

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS

"Both nations and individuals have tried Christianity and abandoned it, because it has been found too difficult; but no man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure. The Love of God—The Making of a Christian, 680 R"

This jumped out at me this great sunny beautiful day the Lord has made for all of us!

Matt 11:29  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. nice

The direct result of yoking yourself up under the teachings and precepts of His yoke for life, is you allow Him to handle all your frets, worries, and troubles so that our souls find and experience His divine rest. In this understanding our hearts and souls are strengthened and the result is a deeper and more meaningful relationship with our Father who art in Heaven and with the Son of Man. So don't just cope with the mundane things today! Yoke up with Jesus! And joy will come and the blues and blahs will be overcome by His glorious presence! You can be assured all His promises are Yes! Rest will come and your struggles will fade! Praise His holy name!!! Amen!

God Bless you! Love you all!

Jesus Has Died On The Cross And Has Risen For You!

Jesus Has Died On The Cross And Has Risen For You!

What a great sign statement we have on our Community Fellowship Church (CFC) sign outside this week! I want to thank my oldest Grandson for coming up with it! He and I were at the church prior to Easter Service this week, and we accomplished what we came to do, change the statement on the church sign! It reads “JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS AND HAS RISEN FOR YOU!” Speaking of statements and signs, Jesus stated many important things during His last week and hours on this earth, plus He did miracles, and performed sign’s, causing people who watched him to wonder in total amazement, “Who is this man? In telling and showing his disciples who He was, He performed things normal humans cannot do! Just a short time before He entered Jerusalem He raised Lazarus from the dead! When it was over with it was said many who witnessed this became His followers! His church was growing so rapidly the Pharisees and Sadducees were getting worried about losing their positions in the church hierarchy. As we know they were so worried they started scheming to kill him just hours after He entered the city gates. We know that they succeeded, but was it them that schemed who were victorious? Well in fact no they were not the ones who could claim victory over killing someone who was totally innocent according to Pontius Pilot, who had just ruled he could not find anything this man had done wrong, but they cried out crucify him, crucify him and give us Barabbas! So they took him out of the city and nailed him to an old rugged cross. He was beaten so much he was hardly recognizable. His beard pulled out in patches, stripes across his back, with wide cuts from the metal shards in the ends of the whips used. Barely alive still they made him carry his own cross to Skull Hill or Calvary, as known and softened for the Christian folks of today. Through it all He said not a harsh word against his enemies. Instead He prayed for them. He said “Father forgive them for they know not what they do!” His mission to build a bridge for sinners to be saved was almost over and so He prayed and said “Father In to thy hands I commit my Spirit.” And as soon as He prayed, the Word of God and said, “It is Finished”, the Breath of God departed from His body, (Temporarily). On the third day, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early in the morning to finish the burial ceremony and an Angel said to her, “Why do you look for dead amongst the living? He is not here He has risen!” She ran back to tell the others and they thought she was crazy! What do you think about the resurrection? Did it really happen? If you think not, then you need to check the historical facts. On the other hand, if you believe in the Word of God and you access this is totally true and it did happen so we have Hope in being saved and going to heaven,  then you need to take an immediate decision and ask Jesus into your life and forgive you of your sins. If you do you will be saved and when you walk out of the Church building, you need not ever worry about going to heaven! Just believe by faith, read and study your bible, and you’ll know for certain you are saved and your headed home where Jesus has prepared a room for you. Your name is now written in the Lambs Book of Life! Yes, Jesus finished his mission, but His gift of Eternal Salvation is ongoing for all who call on His name, until He returns to get His children! God Bless you all! I pray you discover the real reason why Christians celebrate Easter!  God can light up your life with the love, mercy and the grace of Christ our Lord when you ask him to come into your heart! God Bless you all! Pastor Dan
