Processing
I'm using my blog to process my conversations that I had today. For right now my spirit is grieved. I just feel it in my chest- sadness. How I want people to know Jesus. What really does keep people from this free gift we have in Christ. As I think of the Farmer's Market, where we hand out free water- it's free and this is just a simple less than a dollar gift and there are people that refuse this free gift- I am sure for a number of reasons; but on the otherhand this free gift that God gives is immeasurable so valuable, eternal, so necessary, so full of life; however people refuse this gift as well- maybe again for a number of reasons.
I am saddened how the evil one distorts and how he is a liar. How humanity distorts who God is and His Son- how the LORD wants belief= belief in who He is- not to make Him into something that He is not. I'm reminded of God's kingdom and how a kingdom is different- there is a supreme authority. That is who my God is a supreme King- a loving King. God, does this sadden Your heart when people don't believe in Your goodness? I can't imagine. I want to shout- God is good and His mercies endureth forever. His mercy endureth because we are sinful- people are sinful- I sin, George Bush sins, my pastor sins, priests sin. However, God is not sinful and sin makes Him sad. How He longs to make people sinless and pure again through the atonement (payment) for our sin through His Son Jesus. That is love- that Jesus loved us so much that He died for us that we could be made blameless- to be brought back into His original perfect plan. That there is eternal life though Jesus Christ and Him alone. It saddens me that people see this as narrow- but it's beautiful- that God dwelt among us- Emmanuel and He came to be our payment so we could have hope that He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him (Jesus), since He always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens' who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, b/c this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever. Buddha didn't die and arise again for people; Mohammed didn't die and arise again for people- Jesus claimed to be God- "I and the Father are one"..."From that time Jesus Christ began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes and be killed and be raised up on the third day." Matthew 16:21.
By God's mercy and grace may I continue to love Him more and more; for there is no other that compares to His love, His kindness, His grace, His tenderness, His powerfulness, His sovereignty, His holiness- Jehovah-tsidkenu, the Lord our righteousness, Jehovah shammah, the Lord is there; Jehovah-shalom, the Prince of Peace, Jehovah-mekoddishkem, the Lord sanctifies you, Jehovah-rapha- the God who heals; Jehovah-jireh= the God who provides, Jehovah- God's being His essence; Adonai Lord and Master, El Roi the God who sees and El Elyon the God most High and the list continues- there is no name above His name. Praise be given to God.
