Remember Sunday's coming!!!!

No Need To Mourn!!!!

My mom reads the newspaper everyday to see who has passed away. My aunt sent this obituary to me, but there is no need to mourn over this person. I know, what a cruel thing to say, but you will understand it at the end of this blog.

Calvary

Jesus Christ, 33, of Nazareth, died Friday on Mount Calvary, also known as Golgotha, the place of the skull. Betrayed by his disciple Judas, Jesus was crucified by the Romans, by order of the Ruler Pontius Pilate. The causes of death were crucifixion, extreme exhaustion, severe torture, and loss of blood.

Jesus Christ, a descendant of Abraham, was a member of the house of David. He was the Son of the late Joseph, a carpenter of Nazareth, and Mary, His devoted Mother. Jesus was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem, Judea. He is survived by His mother Mary, His faithful Apostles, numerous disciples, and many other followers.

Jesus was self educated and spent most of his adult life working as a Teacher. Jesus also occasionally worked as a Medical Doctor and it is reported that he healed many patients. Up until the time of His death, Jesus was teaching and sharing the Good News, healing the sick, touching the lonely, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor.

Jesus was most noted for telling parables about His Father's Kingdom and performing miracles, such as feeding over 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, and healing a man who was born blind. On the day before His death, He held a Last Supper celebrating the Passover Feast, at which He foretold His death.

The body was quickly buried in a stone grave, which was donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family. By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb. Roman soldiers were put on guard.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that everyone try to live as Jesus did. Donations may be sent to anyone in need.

Mark 16:5 & 6 says this....

And entering into the sepulchre (the grave), they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. (v. 5)

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. (v. 6)

So there is no need to mourn his death, because he is not dead, he is risen.

I Was On His Mind

Well today was Easter and this morning in church they sung this song. I think the song was really for me and I really wanted to post the song, but I didn't have the words. I said something to my mom about wanting the words and she told me she had them. I am just very thankful for what Jesus did for me. I know some may think that I am nuts, because most people think Christians are nuts. But I have tried Jesus for myself and I will live for him the rest of my life, no matter what anyone says to me. AND I REPEAT NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS TO ME!

When He was On The Cross

I Was On His Mind

by: Mike Payne & Ronny Hinson

v. 1

I'm not on an ego trip; I'm nothing on my own,

Make mistakes, I often slip, just common flesh and bones;

But I'll prove someday just why I say, I'm of a special kind,

For when He was on the cross I was on His mind.

Chorus

For He knew me, Yet, He loved me,

He whose glory makes the Heavens shine;

So unworthy of such mercy,

Yet, when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

v.2

The look of love was on His face and thorns were on His head,

Blood was on His scarlet robe, stained a crimson red,

Though His eyes were on the crowd, He looked ahead in time,

For when He was on the cross I was on His mind.

Chorus

For He knew me, Yet, He loved me,

He whose glory makes the Heavens shine;

So unworthy of such mercy,

Yet, when He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

Today we celebrate a risen Savior, but it is also a time to think upon what he has done for all. That he shed his precious blood. At one time a priest would offer a goat for the sins of the people. But in Hebrews 9: 12 it says this.... "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his (Jesus') blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." When it talks about Jesus entering in once into the holy place, what it means is he only had to go in one time. Unlike the priest who had to go into the holy place every year to seek forgiveness for himself and all people.

So as I think about the resurrection of Jesus today, I think about the words that Alfred H. Ackley penned back in 1933. "I know that He is living; whatever men may say."

Easter

This coming Sunday is Easter and many will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. I am not going to write a big long blog, but I posted a video that I made. I think the video will be worth more then me writing a blog. I will probably not write anymore until Sunday or Monday. I don't want to take anything away from Easter by writing some other blog. (Click on the box below and a new window will open to view the video.)

Who Said Everyone Is Perfect?

I have been thinking a lot about people who might struggle with being perfect. Well I have news for you, no one is perfect! And I have a few examples of people who were not perfect, and some of these men are called saints now. I had this thought of looking at seven of the twelve disciples. These seven were not perfect, but they walked with the perfect one (Jesus).
Nathanael was a skeptic. In my own opinion Nathanael looked down on Jesus because of where he was from. In John 1:45 and 46 it says... "Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph (v45). And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him. Come and see (v46)."
Matthew was a tax collector. In Bible days most tax collectors took more money then what they were suppose too. In Matthew 9:9 it is a beautiful sight to see Jesus call someone that most people hated. "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him (v. 9)."
Then we have Doubting Thomas. John 20:25 says this... "The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the prints of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe (v. 25)." Later he did see Jesus and he believed.
James and John were the brothers so full of themselves. They thought Jesus would surely grant their request of where they thought they should sit in Heaven. Mark 10:35-37, "And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire (v35). And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you (v. 36)? They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory (v. 37)." In another part of the Bible we see that James and John's mother came with them to make this request. This goes to show that James and John were momma's boys. Nothing wrong with being a momma's boy, just don't let your momma run your life (this goes for girls too). Matthew 20:20, "Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him (v. 20)."
Now for the last two men, Peter and Judas Iscariot. Two men who betrayed Jesus the same night. Peter denied Jesus three times. Here is what Peter told Jesus, Matthew 26:35, "Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples (v. 35)." Not only did all the disciples lie to Jesus, because they all ran when the men came for Jesus. But Peter denied him three times and lied to him also. In Matthew 26:75 we find out the he remembers what Jesus said to him and it upsets him. "And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice (three times). And he went out, and wept bitterly (v. 75)."
Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for money. Luke 22:3-6, "Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve (v.3). And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them (v. 4). And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money (v. 5). And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude (v. 6)." In the end Judas sees he was wrong to betray Jesus, he repents, then he goes and tries to return the money. But in the end, Judas plays God himself and takes his own life.
Six of the seven men, even if they may have sinned, went on to do great things for God. Some wrote books in the Bible and they all were martyrs. Even up to their very last breath, God still used them. This only goes to show, that God does not use perfect people.

The truth about the bones.

Late Monday night I was flipping through the channels and for some reason stopped on Larry King Live. I read the caption at the bottom of the screen and I became angry. If any of you don't know they are trying to say that they found the bones of Jesus. I listened for a little while longer, then decided to change the channel. But before I changed the channel, I heard them say that Jesus came from a poor family(and that is true) but they said that the bones they had found was found in a tomb of someone from a middle class family.

Well guess what, I don't believe that Jesus' bones is there anyways. You will not be finding his bones anywhere at all, because he ascended to heaven. But he was not buried in some middle class tomb. He was buried in a rich man's tomb. In Matthew 27:57 it says, "When the even was come, there came a RICH MAN of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also was Jesus' disciple:" And it goes on to say, "He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered(v.58). And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,(v.59) And laid it(the body) in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre(tomb), and departed(v.60)."

Now I know you people are going to believe what you want. But I know that Jesus died for my sins, and he was buried and rose the third day. Some people say they believe in God, well why can't you believe that God raised his son from the dead? God is an all powerful God! At the end of "The Passion of the Christ" it shows the body disappearing from the clothes and then the clothes are empty. In the Bible, Peter stooped down to look into the tomb, all he saw was linen clothes lying(John 20:5).
