Grounded in the Truth
In John 16: 33b – Jesus said, “…… In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
When we fail to learn from history we will certainly repeat it.
Satan tempted Adam and sin entered the human race. I can see Satan doing a victory lap for he had succeeded in bringing imperfection to God’s creation.
When God brought fire and brimstone to destroy Saddam and Gomora I’m sure Satan had a huge party.
When God flooded the earth and only Noah’s family survived Satan had to think he won and it’s all over.
And when God’s only begotten son Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem Satan must have gone into overtime until Jesus hung on the cross at Calvary “The King of the Jews” and gave his life as a ransom for the sin of mankind. Jesus came not to free the Jews from Roman occupation, but to free man from his sin, whose penalty is death.
When Jesus snatched the keys to hell and the grave, death had lost its sting.
On the third day Jesus Christ rose from the grave, ascended into heaven as the intercessor before God on our behalf.
John 14:6 Jesus answered. “I am the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but through me.”
To a world without God all is hopeless.
The believer knows that God is in control. Nothing just HAPPENS! Everything is ordained by God to fulfill HIS purpose so that God alone will receive honor, glory and praise, for HE alone is worthy.
This Easter season we celebrate the ultimate sacrifice that made a way for sinful man to reach the sinless creator, after being washed whiter than snow by the blood of the lamb “Jesus”.
In order not to be tossed to and fro by the winds of change or the maligning tongue of lies we must be grounded in the truth.
Jesus is the Truth!
Do you know Jesus? If not, ask him to forgive you of your sin, believe that he is who he said he is, and ask him to guide you in the narrow way to the Father who is in heaven.
God is as close as a simple prayer.
When you pray this simple prayer the old is passed away and the new makes you a child of the King of Kings, Lord of Lords and your pathway to eternal life began.
Join a body of believers tomorrow on Palm Sunday and celebrate with us the majesty and beauty on Easter Sunday the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
After all it’s all about Jesus. – RTM
