Jesus died for our sins...



 Jesus died for our sins...

The Wrath of God fell on Jesus...

He stayed until the end! He consummated our victory on that Cross!

It's done!

Anyone who believes can receive the remission of sins through Jesus!

You receive? It is of Grace and oela Grace.

Understand what happened on a Good Friday:

According to the Gospels, Jesus was nailed to the cross on Friday at noon, dying at "the ninth hour", or three in the afternoon. It was customary to place a plaque at the feet of the crucified, so that everyone would know the reason for the condemnation. The sign at the feet of the Messiah read: "Jesus, Nazarene, King of the Jews" (in Latin: INRI - Iesus, Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum). At the foot of the cross is Mary, her head turned upwards.

A few hours later, Jesus, with dry lips, wished for water. His mother understands and asks the soldier to help her. Instead of water, they offer drops of vinegar. Suddenly, Jesus pronounces in Aramaic: Eli, Eli, lamma sabacthani?, which means: "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" These are the words that open Psalm 21(22). For Eliphas Levi, the correct translation would be "My God, my God, how much you glorify me!"

For three hours Mary suffered with Jesus. Kneeling, she embraced the cross and tenderly kissed her son's wounded feet. Then she heard Jesus say, "It is finished. Father, into your hands I commend my spirit"; then He gave a great cry, expired, reclined His head and died, as Mark informs.

The Gospels relate that at that moment an earthquake shook the earth and a dark darkness covered Palestine. They all fled, saying, "This was indeed the son of God!" At 6 pm, Jesus, considered dead, was taken down from the cross. Maria fainted, being supported by those who were close. Afterwards, she received her dead son's body in her lap, warming it in her heart.

They wrapped the Messiah in a linen sheet and the image of the Savior was engraved on it. Maria, numb before the event, shelters her dead son in her lap. She embraces him with a vehement gesture of love and lies down beside him. She envelops him in an attempt to bring him close to her soul. With passion, she draws Jesus to her, as if she, the procreator of life, wanted to challenge God for having imposed this suffering on them.

Before having her son taken into the darkness of the grave, Mary caressed Jesus' face one last time.

EASTER AND PAGANISM!

 




AWAKEN from this SLEEP of DEATH...

Speak the TRUTH to your CHILDREN.

To the sincere servants of Jesus a warning!

We are coming to another Biblical Feast called Pêssach, but along with it a religious syncretism that we must abstain from. Let's go to some commandments established by the disciples of the Messiah:

“But write them to abstain from defilement from idols, from fornication, from what is strangled, and from blood.” Acts 15:20

“I say rather that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to YHWH. I do not want you to be participants with demons.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.” 1st Corinthians 10:20-21

With that in mind, I want to make a few observations:

They changed the elements of Passover: From the Lamb to the Rabbit. Bitter herbs and unleavened bread for chocolate eggs. This change is intended to honor and worship a pagan deity, the goddess Ishtar, also known as Easter, Ostera, Ostara, Eostre. Millennia before the biblical Easter was celebrated, some peoples like the Babylonians already celebrated the return of the “Goddess of Spring” holding an Egg in her hand while watching a rabbit (the symbol of fertility), jumping happily around her feet. Therefore brothers, in the face of these facts, celebrate the Feast of Passover with its correct elements! Do not give chocolate eggs to your children, teach them the truth, the Gospel with lamb, unleavened bread and bitter herbs (1st Co 5.8).

“Cast out the old leaven, that you may be a new batch, just as you are unleavened, since the Messiah, our Passover Lamb, was slain. Therefore, CELEBRATE the Feast of Passover, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and malice, but with the Matzot/unleavened bread of sincerity and Truth.” 1st Corinthians 5:7-8

*If you have any doubts, research about the Ostara Festival (Easter) and who she was and you will understand where the eggs and the rabbit (hare) come from.

One

  broken is closer to God...

This may be one of the reasons why God allows tragedies, pain...

A broken heart is a repentant heart, sad for its sins, wanting to change its life. God approves of those who are brokenhearted and ask forgiveness for their sins.

God cannot resist a contrite and broken heart. When someone comes to God repenting for sins, he forgives and restores. God comforts the broken heart and restores hope and joy.

the Lord is near

those with a broken heart

and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Psalm 34:18

He alone heals the brokenhearted

and takes care of your wounds.

Psalm 147:3

Sacrifices That Please God

they are a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart,

O God, you will not despise.

Psalm 51:17

For thus says the High and Lofty,

who lives forever,

and whose name is holy:

"I dwell in a high and holy place,

but I also dwell with the contrite

and humble in spirit,

to give new life

to the spirit of the humble

and new breath to the heart of the contrite.

Isaiah 57:15

My body and my heart

may falter,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my inheritance forever.

Psalm 73:26

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

2 Corinthians 12:9

Sacrifices That Please God

they are a broken spirit;

a broken and contrite heart,

O God, you will not despise.

Psalm 51:17

Godly sorrow does not produce remorse, but repentance that leads to salvation, and worldly sorrow produces death. See what this godly sorrow produced in you: what dedication, what apologies, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what concern, what desire to see justice done! In all you have shown yourself innocent in this regard.

2 Corinthians 7:10-11

It wasn't my hands that made

all these things,

and why did they exist?"

asks the Lord.

"To this I esteem:

to the humble and contrite of spirit,

who trembles at my word.

Isaiah 66:2

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord,

it's over me,

because the Lord anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to care for those who are

with a broken heart,

announce freedom to the captives

and deliverance from darkness to the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn and give to all who mourn in Zion

a beautiful crown instead of ashes,

the oil of joy instead of mourning

and a mantle of praise

instead of depressed spirit.

they will be called

oaks of justice,

planting of the Lord,

for the manifestation of his glory.

Isaiah 61:1-3

"Blessed

the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed

those who cry,

for they will be comforted. Blessed are the humble,

for they shall inherit the land.

Matthew 5:3-5

CONSOLATION COMES FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT!

 You know, more and more I understand the words that Jesus left described in Revelation 21:4

4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes.


There will be no more death,


nor sadness,


I don't even cry


, nor pain


, for the old order has passed away."

Y ' all can't imagine the number of people suffering from losses. You see it in grief groups, miss you. Jesus knew the pain would be unimaginable and left these words of comfort... The Holy Spirit help all of us who go through these trials and be approved



It's not easy to understand the ruptures... The questions why? Why did it have to be like this? It's not easy to deal with what it feels like... when it hurts

God can change decisions because of your sincere prayer...



  2 Kings 20

1 At that time Hezekiah was sick unto death. The prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, Thus says the Lord: Put your house in order, for you will die and not live.

2 Then the king turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,

3 Remember now, O Lord, I pray you, how I have walked before you with faithfulness and integrity of heart, and have done what was right in your eyes. And Hezekiah wept exceedingly.

4 And it came to pass, when Isaiah had not yet come out of the middle of the court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

5 Go back, and say to Hezekiah, the prince of my people, Thus says the Lord God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you; on the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord.

6 I will add to your days fifteen years; and I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.

7 Isaiah said more: Take a paste of figs and put it on the ulcer; and he will heal.

8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, What is the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that on the third day I will go up to the house of the LORD?

9 Isaiah answered, This shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will fulfill his word which he hath spoken, Shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

10 Then Hezekiah said, It is easy for the shadow to go down ten degrees; do not be so, rather turn the shadow back ten degrees.

11 Then the prophet Isaiah cried out to the Lord, who turned the shadow back ten degrees, by the degrees that it had already declined on the sundial of Ahaz.

12 At that time Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

13 And Hezekiah gave audience to the messengers, and showed them all his storehouse, the silver and the gold, the spices and the best ointments, his armory, and all that was in his treasures; There was nothing that he did not show them, neither in his house nor in all his dominion.

14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and asked him, What did those men say, and where did they come to you? Hezekiah answered, They came from a very far country, from Babylon.

15 And he said, What did they see in your house? And Hezekiah said, They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing in my treasures that I would not show you.

16 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD:

17 Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in my house, and that which your fathers have stored up to this day, shall be carried away to Babylon; nothing will remain, says the Lord.

18 And even some of your children, which shall proceed from thee, which thou shalt beget, they shall bear; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.

19 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said more: Well, is it not so, if in my days there will be peace and security?

20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool and the aqueduct, and how he brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
