Food for thought

"And He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for our sins only , but also for the sins of the whole world."

Propitiation, of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Jesus is the payment, no more, no less but do we continually believe this? He paid the ultimate price for our wicked, deceitful hearts,so whosoever shall believe in Him, shall be saved. We shall be given a new heart . We live in the flesh and it is a thorn in our side, what we do with it is our part. The decision to live for Christ will look ludicrous to unbelievers and even some believers will not understand where we are coming from , for we are all as believers on the road to sanctification, but are at different places. Do we find ourselves judging others when they do not see what we see or do we keep our focus where it belongs. "What's between John and I is between John and I." None of us want to see the wickedness in our own heart but that, my friend, is exactly what we need to see. We must look straightforward into that crushing humbling mirror so as to root it out. We must realize when we are given a new heart of flesh we will detest our fallen nature. Liam Neeson in Schindler's List saw that reflection after saving many from the Holocaust, for he had a heart for the Jewish people and made a vast difference. So many gathered to thank him for what he had done but when he looked at the expensive car he owned ,he wept bitterly. " I could have done more, I could have done more." Are we willing my friend to see what obstacles are keeping us from doing our all in all for our Lord and Savior? May I challenge you to look deep inside and ask? How much does it mean to me? How much does it mean to me?

Heavenly Father we have but one job and focus , to be about our Father's business. We must preach the gospel in our actions and in our speech ,lest we feel the crushing sting of knowing we could have but didn't. Open our eyes ,ears, and heart so we may be all You designed us to be for Your glory for ever and ever , In Jesus your Son's name amen.

"Are ye able said the Master to be crucified with Me?..."

Love to all in Christ Jesus C:)
