Your best life now
I don’t know why Christians are so obsessed with this “Jesus the Christ” figure…get over it already, he’s 2,000 years old!
In all seriously now, WOW…good find. There’s so much I could say, but I have to head out. I’m not surprised that they are rejecting Jesus though.
Yea, me neither. I don’t understand why people still talk about Buddha and Lao Tzu, or Alexander the Great, or Pluto, or Socrates, or Aristotle, or Caesar. Since all of them are just as old as Jesus, if not older. Since when did a lapse of time dictate whether a person should stop being studied, and in Jesus’ case worshiped? haha, I’m glad we do agree on one thing, we both aren’t surprised they are rejecting Jesus.
JesusRocks (nice name), you are right its hard to see why people are obsessed with this man called “Jesus”. The message of the cross is foolishness except to those who are being saved by it. Man has sinned against a holy God. If one rape makes a man a rapist for life, one lie makes a man a liar for life. And if in your life you have told only one lie you will be guilty of breaking the ninth of God’s moral laws (The Ten commandments). With out holiness it is impossible to see God. But you see the message of the cross says that God sent Jesus his only son to take your lie or which ever sin you have committed and pay the penalty-which is death. Jesus who was righteous and holy died on the cross with your sin tag on him to appease God’s wrath. And if you only repent and put your trust in Jesus, God will forgive you once and for all and impute on to your account Jesus’ perfect righeousness since he became your substitute. That is the message of the cross. To some it is foolishness but to those it is saving it is the power of God to salvation.

I hope everyone knows I was being sarcastic…just look at my blog and you will see
Ha ha…nice blog there! Thanks for visiting.
Just a few thoughts:
1. – 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 – “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. For it is written: ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
2. – Galatians 6:14 – “But God forbid that I should glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
3. – Philippians 3:18 – “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ; whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame – who set their mind on earthly things.”
4. – 2 Timothy 4:3 – “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”
5. – 2 Peter 2:1-3 – “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.”
6. – Matthew 7:15 – (words of Jesus) “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you, depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.
Let the Word of God speak for itself. The cross is our banner. Let it be lifted HIGH for the whole world to see.
Thank you pastor Rick.It behooves us to read and live by the Word of God.
