When Most People Think About Jesus, They Imagine A Kind Loving Man Who Was A Master Teacher And Miracle

When most people think about Jesus, they imagine a kind loving man who was a master teacher and miracle healer. Pictures depict him as a shepherd gently tending lambs, blessing children, and feeding thousands with a kind loving look in his eyes. While He came peacefully into Jerusalem riding a donkey to the adoration of crowds spreading green palms as a carpet before him, even when suffering in agony at the crucifixion, He doesn’t curse his tormentors, but forgives them. In His whole life He is the personification of Peace, Love, and Forgiveness, however His Second Coming to earth will be quite a different story.

Thou He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as the Prince of Peace, the Bible tells us that at His return He rides in on a white horse as a conquering judge. All those that are still on earth at that time will not meet a loving PRINCE of Peace, but a judging LORD of Glory For those not prepared to meet the Judge, it will be a day of disastrous destiny that will be their first day of an eternity that will be the opposite of “peace.”

If you are one of these people and have read this far then please realize that there is a time when all those that are not friends of God will not be treated not with Peace, Love, and Forgiveness, but with Harshness, Rebuke, and JUDGEMENT.

Jesus IS coming back to reclaim His authority over the earth to establish his kingdom, so if you do not know Christ and have not received the Peace, Love, and Forgiveness that he offers, do so today. There is no better time than the present because we all have no guarantee of tomorrow.

Prepare to meet Jesus as your KING, not your Judge.

This message is about as simple as it can possibly be, because both the title and the scripture both ask and give the answer.

You are a SPIRIT, that has a SOUL, that is (currently) inside of a BODY. While the body will most certainly die, the soul and spirit are most certainly ETERNAL. The question is, where will your spirt and soul be in eternity?

If you’re not sure, re-read the today’s title and John 3:15 again. The answer 'How' is found in the next verse, which is the most commonly quoted one in the Bible:

“For God so loved the world (that includes YOU!) that He gave His only begotten Son, (to die for our sins on our behalf) that Whoever believes in Him Should not perish but Have everlasting life.” John 3:16

What you BELIEVE (or don’t believe) is where you will go in ETERNITY...and where that will be is entirely up to YOU.

To Which “Eternity” do you choose to go?

The word KNOWLEDGE is defined as the 'acquaintance with facts, truths or principles' It means to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty. Knowledge is typically gained through books, research, and delving into facts.

WISDOM is defined as 'the state of being wise,' which means 'having the power of discernment and judging properly as to what is true or right: possessing discernment, judgement, or discretion.' Wisdom is typically gained from experiences acquired over time.

So, we can see that knowledge and wisdom are two different things. In one sense, Knowledge resides in the MIND, but Wisdom resides in the HEART.

The wisdom book of Proverbs points us to the differences on achieving wisdom over knowledge in order to see life from God’s point of view and how to apply His wisdom in life. When you meditate on and listen to God ’s Word; and obey it, there will always be a Positive Benefit. Proverbs 24:3 says, “ Through wisdom lives are built, and by understanding it is established.”

My friend, if you want to be wise, trust in God and make a place for it in your heart. When you do, your path through life will always be well directed.

The first is where Jesus calls Peter to step OUT in faith of a boat in the midst of a raging sea to safety towards Him, and the second is where God pleads for people to step INTO a boat that would save their lives from a coming storm.

BOTH involved a storm, and BOTH required STEPPING OUT IN FAITH. The small boat is the life we live, the storm is the passage of life, and the ark is the rescue from the storm once our small boat is overcome by the storm.

You see, as today’s title says, all of us must STEP AWAY of what we THINK will save us and STEP TOWARDS what appears to be foolish, but in the end remains your only true salvation. In both stories, lack of faith met their demise, but safety comes to those that keep their eye looking for their deliverance and STEP OUT IN FAITH.

Friend, in both cases you have to make a choice! Will you step out in faith FROM 'the boat' you 'think' will save you TO the only true boat that really can save you, and that is Jesus Christ? When you do, your eternal deliverance is secure.

We are all God’s children, but are you a Natural child of God or an Adopted Child of God? There is an important difference, and here’s why…

While you can legally disown a natural-born child, you cannot “un-adopt” an adopted child, and this same legal principle applies when you are adopted into God’s family.

You see, when we are Naturally-Born into this world, all of us ARE 'God’s children,' but when you are Spiritually-Born (“born again” as Jesus said in John 3:3) and today’s verse also states, you then become an ADOPTED child of God.

Friend, Christ died on the cross to redeem us from death as a natural-born child so that we could become spiritually-born children to be able to be adopted into His eternal family! If you have not accepted His outstretched hands to be adopted by Him, receive His offer of adoption today, and you will never be forsaken!
