Jesus is Risen

For Christians all over the world, this Sunday is a day of celebrations.  Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was crusified, died, and rose again to Heaven to be with God, the Father.  He took all our sins on his body on the Cross so that we might have life everlasting.  However, you need to repent of your sins and accept him and you will receive the Holy Spirit.  Many say they have never sinned.  But, since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, everyone born from them and after them was born in sin and must be redeemed from everlasting death.  When you repent and accept Jesus, your life changes.  It doesn't happen all at once but it will happen.  Things you thought were fun like getting drunk and taking drugs, you will realize are not what you should be doing.  People say that Christians who are saved from sin have no fun.  However, there is no better life than life with Jesus  in your Heart.  You are no longer afraid of death because you know you will spend Eternity in Heaven which is so much more beautiful than we can even begin to imagine.  You don't want to miss Heaven and spend Eternity in Hell, burning with an everlasting fire and pain, in darkness, completely separated from God.  The Bible explains it all very well and everyone needs to read it and believe it.

Church

Did you attend the church of your choice today? We did. The pastor had a great message on salvation. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are not going to Heaven. A lot of the world today thinks everyone goes to Heaven. - NOT! Also, they are not up there looking down on us. There are so many myths around about Heaven and so many who have died believing these myths and lies are now in HELL. It is very sad. I listened to a man who went to HELL for 23 days and he came back to describe it and it would scare you greatly to hear him tell what he saw there. It isn't all friends and fun and green bubble up either like you hear on St. Patrick's Day. It is a rude awakening. Another thing that isn't going to get you into Heaven is being baptized as a baby by sprinkling a little water on you. Or your folks are Christians, so that makes you one - wrong! Like they say, you can sit in the garage for years and you won't be a car. Three famous people died in the last few days and I don't know where they are but I hope they weren't unpleasantly surprised. I just heard that Billy Mays that pitches all kinds of products on TV just died today at age 50! Where did he go? You aren't promised anymore than the breath you just took, so are you ready to meet your maker?

Death

Death comes quickly and unexpectedly many times. Yesterday our daughter-in-law's father suddenly died, age 71. I don't know that he had any warning but he had accepted the Lord Jesus as his savior so now we know that he is in Heaven. That is a great comfort to everyone and the family. Are you ready to die? Do you know where you are going - Heaven or Hell? It's time to be sure. This maybe your last breath you take. There are no guarantees.
