God Bless you and the work that Almighty Jehovah continues to do through your vessel. I felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to write this below. It is lengthy, but worth sharing. God Bless! Your eternal brother in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Daniel<br /><br /><br />The answer to life is simple, though many will try to complicate its simplicity. We need only to go to one place to find the answer; as a result of going to this place we will view the two following places from a different perspective.<br /><br />The first place is a cross on a hill; the scene is over 2,000 years ago, at a place called Golgotha, a hill called the skull. Upon this hill a massive instrument of intense brutality, of which the sole purpose was to inflect the most amount of pain. Engineered for suffering, the roman cross insured prolonged agony and certain death. Though this cross was made the same as the others, this cross was different, upon this roman cross hung a man who was spotless, sinless, and bore the name Emmanuel, for upon it was the same God who is with us as He was that day on the cross.<br /><br />As the Messiah, the King of kings, our Blessed Redeemer hung there, His Blood raining down in torrents, the cross driven into earth becoming the alter, His body was sacrificed and presented as the atonement for every sin committed past, present, and future for all who would accept Him as King. A man who at any minute could call 12 legions of angels from heaven to rescue Him, to spare Him from the mortal pain, though many forget the sin of mankind alone was enough to tear in two the heart of the sinless Lamb. A man who even in death pleaded for the lives of those who drove the spikes deep into His flesh, weeping for the lives of every soul that would reject His death, yet inside encouraged by the souls He would redeem. <br /><br />Upon the last breath, once the Holy Ghost left, the earth moved, the temple veil was spilt, man could now come before Jehovah, and He even caused the hardest of roman soldiers to acknowledge He was the Christ. In death it all seemed to come to life. Salvation was set in place, the Blood of Christ was spilt, this is where we must go, and this is the sacrifice that we must never forget. <br /><br />Such a selfless sacrifice by the King of kings is impossible for our inept minds to grasp, yet it seems to satisfy a longing so deep it must be the key to life. His act of love so incomprehensible it seems easier for the majority to reject the notion. If we can't bring ourselves to the cross of our Redeemer, then there is no further endeavor worth pursuit.<br /><br />Under the shadow of the cross we must kneel, allowing the warm Blood of Jesus Christ to rain down upon our sinful souls, and allowing it to melt the icy heart sin produces. Under the body of Christ we find the key to completion, we see He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. All our questions answered by one man's response upon the cross. It is here that we must acknowledge Jesus Christ bore the burden of our sin, opening for us the door to eternal salvation, and presented His life as a sacrificial payment for our soul damning debt.<br /><br />After we accept Jesus Christ for who He is, after we accept where He fits within our lives, we are ultimately shown another place.<br /><br />In a tomb on loan we see the brief vision of our Savior's body being placed on a Rock. Wrapped in burial cloth and sprinkled with the sweet fragrance of perfume, not the typical burial for a king, but this was not a typical king, this was the King of kings. Just like in life, even in the grave the Son of man had no place of His own to lay His head. He, like His Ekklesia, are just traveling through, concerned more with the will of His Father, and the fulfillment of such a will meant continual sacrifice and separation from worldly substance, so why would this tomb be any different? <br /><br />The door was blocked and sealed, guards posted in an attempt to keep someone from taking the body of Christ, never realizing that the King would emerge from within. Death's seeming defeat of Jesus Christ seemed complete, impossible to overcome, but Jesus Christ is the Overcomer! No man, no tomb, and even the icy grip of death cannot hold the King of kings in an earthly grave. Three days later after hanging on a cross, just as the prophets had prophesied, HE IS RISEN! He's alive and we're forgiven, heaven's gates where opened wide, HE'S ALIVE! <br /><br />Here at the tomb we are validated, we too conquer death, we too are victorious, having seen the tomb empty we understand further the questions we have sought to answer.<br /><br />The final place is the Throne. If you are reading this I can safely say you are still alive and haven't seen the Throne of Jehovah. We can only at best imagine what it will be like to stand before the Eternal and Righteous King of kings. The Day of Judgment will be the completion or eternal damnation for each and every soul that stands before the King. Did you accept Jesus as the Sacrificial Lamb or did you accept the temporary pleasures of a temporary earthly world, the gifts of our adversary Satan? If you have chosen the temporary instead of the eternal, you will receive the same judgment as Satan whose pleasure you shared in and helped to advance in the earthly realm. Eternal damnation, forever from the presence of Jehovah, whether burning or in utter darkness with memories of blatant opportunities to accept the Lamb of God, though nothing will compare to the knowledge of never being eternally bound to the Creator and King. If you have chosen Jesus Christ, and followed after His instruction, enduring the sacrifices faced by separating yourself from a dying world, you will inherit all that Jehovah has given Jesus Christ. Eternal life and the completion of our creation, something we can never comprehend and will most definitely take eternity to enjoy and experience.<br /><br />The last place we go is only the beginning. At that point eternal will take a whole new meaning and at this point in life remains a concept we are incapable of understanding, but that doesn't change the validity of the Truth. Will you enter in as a good and faithful servant and child of Jehovah or will you be cast away as one Jehovah never knew?<br /><br />Nothing in this world is worth our pursuit if it is void of Jesus Christ and His direction. It is not our will that we should ever be concerned with, but rather the will of our Eternal Father. We must come to this place in our life, just as Jesus Christ did His whole life, and follow daily the Heavenly Father's path that is straight and narrow. <br /><br />If it is the answer to life that you seek, here it is....... His name is Jesus Christ.<br /><br />He is the Who, His sacrifice is the What, the When was 2,000 years ago on a roman cross, Where was a place called Golgotha, and the Why.... Because He loved each and every single one of us. <br /><br />If you haven't given your life to Jesus Christ, I urge you too, life is short, but our soul is eternal.<br /><br />God Bless, Daniel EggersDaniel Eggershttp://www.prayersforthepeople.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388370369187844627.post-70164117358941811402009-04-29T19:26:00.000-05:002009-04-29T19:26:00.000-05:00Thank you for the sacrifice you make for us in bei...Thank you for the sacrifice you make for us in being obedient to what the Lord has called you to do.Your message called living in exile on youtube was very powerful.
