The joy of Easter


Jesus Christ: The joy of Easter is understood and found in trusting and obeying Jesus Christ

Everything God does is motivated out of love. God is love. He can't act in any other way than in a loving way. When God created the heavens and earth he showed His great loving heart. There hasn't been a single moment when He hasn't acted justly. God can't act unjustly! God's decision making is always perfect.

To the impure man the events of Jesus' death on Calvary's Cross appear foolish. Jesus had died. The story of His loving teaching was ended and, with it, all man's longed for hopes and dreams. Such a train a thought misunderstands God's awesome power.

To believe in God's resurrection power we need to be mindful of His creative power. Let us recall that God is life. God Triune is the author of life. He speaks and what he speaks comes to fruition.
He commanded "let there be light and there was light". God has the miracle-working power to raise the dead. Man must come to believe this; for until we are born again we worship Satan and not Christ.

Jesus's reconciliatory death on the Cross offers us new life. His sacrifice on our behalf was accepted by God. He died sacrificially that we might be born anew, by faith in His atoning death, to a right relationship with God eternal. The depths of His love when understood will inspire us to follow Him in producing great, loving deeds. Just as fear locks doors; love opens doors.

Calvary shows that God's door of mercy is open. Jesus Christ is the door to truth and eternal life. He is the way, the unique way, out of "deadness" into "aliveness". How do we progress from viewing Jesus' death as foolish to being life-critcal for us. We must grasp that nothing that God does is foolish. Calvary is the work of God's holy hand.

Although wicked man carried out this unjust act against sinless Jesus Christ, God countenanced it. God is wise. The events of Calvary show his wisdom in a remarkable way. Satan had mankind in his stromghold. We were all perishing; for we had transgressed God's holy Word. Only Christ who was righteous could atone for man's unrighteousness. This He did!

The only way to come to believe this is by revelation. God will only reveal this to his creation if they hunger and thirst for righteousness. This is a journey that can't be hurried. If we truly love the Gospel of Christ God will bless our efforts with success. Easter is understood by studying and demonstrating the holy teachings of the Holy Bible.

Be diligent in your studying of the old and new Testament books andas God matures you your growing love for Jesus Christ will glorify God and you will know by revelation the vital importance for mankind of Calvary.




God's love is like a beautiful relaxing bubbly bath that beckons the burdened to be baptized clean in it. Today I shall speak up against camp comedy, falling into the wrong bathing habits and refusing to bathe in calm waters.

The prideful are restless to the very depths of their nature. As television becomes more violent you will notice that our exposure to people promoting homosexuality will increase. The violent and wicked will increasingly hide their treachery behind the skirt of comedy. Let us all protect ourselves and our children; for lewd sexual innuendo is being merchandised as innocent behaviour.

This is a lie. Fellow citizens of the world, let us fight this evil. Let us always teach that perversion has no place in an honest-before-God lived life. Ten righteous people were not to be found in Sodom. The unrighteous will be judged on judgement day.

In Sodom we note that the anger level of its citizens is ferocious and out of control. The men burn lustfully for intercourse with other men. Whenever sin is full blown loss of control is seen. Lewd unlawful behaviour must be offered huge resistance; for it is at the extreme end of spiritual illnesses. The prideful are restless to the very depths of their nature. In their many moments of madness they act irrationally. We can see by their actions that they are prepared to sacrifice (harm emotionally) their victims.

We learn from studying about Sodom that homosexuality is associated with violence. Wherever there is violence there is injustice and God hates injustice. Pure-hearted Lord God, homosexuals and lesbians and all others who behave abhorrently can hear the peeling siren from your police car. Help us to help them out of their bubbly bath of burst burdens without falling in and getting scalded.

Father, we have all sinned and fallen short of Your glory. We deserve no more than to be banished to a temperature tormenting bubbly bath where we can suffer indefinitely from the tonsillitis of our treachery. Help homosexuals and heterosexuals to acknowledge that their sins are not silent. Let us all work for increased purity; for mankind's sins shout against us all and reach the ears of Almighty God. Lord God, Your creation, men women and most recently children are being assaulted by wave after wave of violence from corrupt television program writers, producers and actors. Teach us to watch only dignity enhancing programs.

Divine law sentences all humanity to death. Death means eternal separation from the love of Our Creator God. Divine grace, seen in the righteous character of Jesus Christ, offers fallen man a way out the punishment of God's judgment of death on sin through faith in His finished, redeeming reconciliatory work. Infinitely beautiful redeemer God, we can't do what you command us to do without Your help. In Romans 12: 2 You command us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind.

Turning to Ezekiel 36: 26-27 we read I (God) will will give you (mankind that I lead to Jesus Christ) a new heart and a new mind. I will take away your stubborn heart of stone and give you an obedient heart. I will put my spirit in you and I will see to it that you follow my laws and keep all the commands I have given you. Blessed God who judges wickedness. Blessed blessing above all blessings, all the glory of salvation belongs to You. We read in Isaiah 61:10 that all beautiful blessings come forth out of God's gracious hand.

Jerusalem (the redeemed of the Lord God) rejoices because of what The Lord (God) has done. She is like a bride dressed for her wedding. God has clothed her with salvation and victory. Pure God we understand, often belatedly, how vital it is to love You with pure love. We read astonished in Your holy Bible that in Sodom there were not 10 genuine followers of You. Assist us daily to remind ourselves that You will punish unredeemed mankind, in order that our chances to repent before You are increased.

Special Father, Friend and Lord God, we pray for a deeper longing to talk about the loveliness of Your liberty. Inspire us, God of inspiration and revelation, so that we might trust in Your Beloved Jesus Christ and His atoning work and that You might dress the naked in robes of righteousness. Let us pray for all oppressed fellowmen and women. Lord God I believe that You hate homosexuality and lesbianism because in these illicit unions sexual oppression is involved. I believe that unnatural role playing is employed by the victims; for men were not designed to behave as female substitutes.

Any lifestyle which is unnatural reminds students of life that Satan, the father of lies, is not slumped in an armchair waiting for fallen angels to rock him to sleep nor is he sucking his thumb wondering whether or not to actively promote impurity. Like a roaring lion he is uprooting God's word in the hearts of our fellow neighbor. He is a formidable enemy of God Triune whom we shall take very seriously.

Lord God triune, on too many days many lack the energy and desire to rock themselves awake. We see so much evil in the world and too many of us are closing our eyes to it. Armies charge at armies with their leaders daily promising a safer world. I believe that the deployment of armies can provide no solution to mankind's deep-seated challenges. Father, month by month the people of our world are becoming more wary of each other. Be merciful and wake us gently from spiritual retirement; so that we can hunger and thirst for increased purity to the wonderful glory of Your holy name above all names.

Teach us all that "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds". Teach us that terrorism is not to be pulled down with state of the art technology. Precious peace promoting readers, violence produces violence. Only God Himself can take just revenge on those who perpetrate terror. Let us accept our losses and turn to Him with rejoicing hearts. Let us remember that Our unique mighty God alone gave victory to the Israelites over the armies of Egypt. He caused the walls of Jericho to fall. He can give victory to us over any spirit that dishonors His holy name.

The Goliath of terrorism can only be brought down if, united in love, we hunger and thirst for increased purity. We have a God to whom wonderful power, glory and honor belongs. Holy Jesus Christ, Our God of peace help us to incline our hearts to trust You to bring increased serenity into our not always enthusiastically bubbling-for-peace hearts. Amen.
