Do you ever wonder?

Hello Beloved,

I know that I always end up saying the same thing, but I just feel like this is what I am suppose to do.. I am not a writer, I am not a teacher, I am not anyone special... I just write down things that stroll thru my thoughts..  If it should help someone along the way then that is a plus .. I do this to remind myself of what it is I am suppose to do and Who I  believe in..
In the Gospels is where we learn about Jesus Christ.  If we listen to what we read then we are learning ( or should be learning) what we as mankind should be doing..
When Jesus was on the cross is something I have been thinking about today.  You can read it in each one of the four Gospels.  In Matthew 27: 33-54 is what was on my mind today.  Mark 15: 33-39;
Luke 23: 34 ; John: 19: each Gospel has an account of the death of Jesus Christ.
When Jesus was up on the cross who was there with Him? We know from reading scripture that soldiers were there, there was also the two thieves and some of the woman who followed Jesus. 
What was Jesus doing on the cross?  Why was He there?  Who was He there for?   We all know that Jesus went to the cross on His own... That was why He was born.  He was on the cross for mankind who believed in Him... You and me...    Well, He was also there for the ones who put Him on the cross ...... Soldiers stood there and heard Jesus speak while on the cross... They heard him say" My God , my God why hast thou forsaken me?"  They also heard Him cry and give up the ghost. They
cast lots for his garments!  Do you think any of them had an idea of who Jesus really was?  I do.
The centurion heard him as He talked on the cross and said " Truly this man was the Son of God."Mark 15:39.   This is amazing to me... Here was a man who had to be there because it was his job to be there... a man who had done this many times before... ( A centurion was the soldier over 100 soldiers, had to have been in the service for 15-20 years) He had to have seen men crucified  before..  Had heard all manner of words from others ... but never heard  before"  Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."  Luke 23:34   Image what it must have been like for that centurion.. Do you think that he must have become a true believer after what he had witnessed?  I know that you have all probably thought about this before but it was something new for me to think upon.
Just ask Jesus to come into your heart..  just say..... Lord Jesus please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and change me into what you want me to be... I love you Lord Jesus ..I pray your will be done... in Jesus name... Amen     Now get a  bible out and read and study everyday... trust in God to see you thru your life.... Go to a bible believing church  and May God have blessed you with tender mercy and understanding,
smile it is a free gift from God for all to see and share with..

If I Offended You

Hello Beloved,

If I have offended you, well, forgive me please; BUT with this BUT comes a few questions.

Why have I offended you? What have I said that was so wrong?   Why is it okay for people to say that God is not real or that Christians are just sprouting off religious garbage?  Why is okay for you to be offended but not Christians?   Why is it okay to say the Bible is outdated and old and really does not apply to today?  Why is it NOT okay for Christians to tell you that the Word of God is as true today as it was yesterday?
Here is one for you:
Have you ever even opened the Word of God( the Bible) and read it?  So, if you said yes, you have read it, then how about this?   Did you understand it?  Did you even go into it with the hope of
understanding?  Did you ask first for understanding of what it says?  Did you know that the word
FAITH: trustworthiness, faithful, fidelity, steadiness, expectation, hope belief ; means hope.
Do you have hope ?  What about if you said No to these questions... Then where is your leg to stand on?  Are you just going by what you have heard others tell you?  Are you willing to read the Word of God and make your own decision?
You may be saying well let me ask you a question.  What makes you think the Bible is the truth?  What makes you think your God is the only god?   Well, I will answer that like this..
When I was very young I heard the Word spoken and something inside of me sparked it was and it is called FAITH.  I heard the Word and it filled me with hope.  I have hope that what I heard is true and faithful.( reliable)  I do believe that what the Word of God says is true and faithful... I believe that He is faithful to keep His Word...   
I would rather have faith in God and find out that I am wrong; than to have no faith in God and find out that I am wrong..  I believe that He is coming back... I want to be ready for when He does.  You know He is coming back the same way He left..   Yes, I can prove that , once again I have to go to the Word of God ( Bible) and show it to you... Look in Acts 1: 9-11  It tells you that He was taken up in a cloud.     Now look in Matthew 24:30 ,  read what it says:  " they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of  heaven with power and great glory."  Do I believe all this........YES I DO.
I believe every word of the Holy Scriptures to be true and tested true.
So, I will be telling you what I think and if you are offended then just remember I as a Christian can be offended also by what you say is true.    My true has been proven over and over .  Jesus Christ is coming back soon and I pray that I can be ready.
John 1: 1  The Word was with God and the Word was God..
John 10:30   I and my Father are one.

I am not trying to be argumentative  I am just telling you what I believe to be the truth. 
God is real and that is what I believe.
