Christ is all that matters

http://bible.us/116/COL3.5.NLT So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father. Bible.com/app

Jesus

I'm reading about Jesus' crucifixion and it makes me emotional every single time.  It's not only because of the way He was treated, the pain and suffering He had to go through, but there's also another reason...His crucifixion was my fault!  Not just mine, but every other human being on this earth!  We and our sins caused that Jesus had to be crucified.  People are always going on about how the Jews killed Jesus.  Yes they sure did, but God caused their spiritual blindness, so that we, the gentiles, could become part of Abraham's seed, be grafted in. :)  

Jesus was led to the slaughter like a lamb, not resisting.  The only holy worthy Lamb to be offered for our sins.  No other sacrifice could suffice or please God anymore.  He did it of His own free will, because He was being obedient to His Father in heaven.  All for us!  Because He loves us.  To make us free from the bondage of sin and death!  Oh what a wonderful, indescribable love God has for us.  Yet, most reject His love, mocking their Creator, turning their backs on Him. :( 

I pray for the Jewish people, because when they see Jesus coming on the clouds, they will mourn bitterly when they look upon the One they pierced.  Thank God He is RISEN and He is COMING BACK!  :D

I pray also for all people that God open their hearts and minds so that they come to accept Jesus as their Saviour, before it's too late.  Pray for yourselves people, pray for Israel, pray for all people!  Love the Jewish people, as God loves them.  Stop with the anti-semitism!

Get ready people, Jesus is coming!  Maranatha!

Zechariah 12:9-14  It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves; all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.

Isaiah 45:22  "Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

Philippians 2:8-11  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

You can read about Jesus' crucifixion in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  Get out that dusty bible and get to reading!  Get to know Jesus.  :D

Thanks for reading.  God bless you in Jesus' Holy name!
