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..
tenderly with arms wrapped about you.
