The Passion of Christ

GREETING,
As I am setting here tonight my thoughts are on the Passion of Christ. And what he went through A little over two thousands years ago for mankind. As we enter this Holy week I hope that you too will spend some time thinking about about what Christ means to you. Christ said in Luke chapter 12: 51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No , I have come to divide people against each other ! NLT . There has never been anyone like him nor will there ever be. There has been wars fought over him and nation's divided over who he is NLT. People have tried to make him in to what they wanted , they have twisted his words , went against what he stands for , molded Him into there religious beliefs . Man has been trying from the begining to bring him down to thier level . Jesus warned us about the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod in Mark 8: 15 . He asked his disciples one day as they where walking to Caesarea Philippi ,Who do people say I am , A lot of folks today are still missing who he is. I think Luke said it best in Acts 4:12 There is salvation in no one else ! God has given no name under heaven by which we must be saved " NLT FOR GOD LOVE THE WORLD SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. John 3:16 NLT That is why he endured the cross . It was for me ,it was for you , it was so that know one would have to perish , that know one would have to face death with out him . He came to save the lost, HE DIED FOR OUR SINS. He suffer on the cross , he payed our debt , He died so that we could have life. My prayer is that you , if you don't know him , would call on his name . Spend some time with him this week, this week is not about the easter bunny, but about a savior,that bridged the gap from a fallen mankind to a Holy God. My prayer is that you would come to know how much that he loves you and want to have a relationship with you. HE will never have to endure the cross again, the debt has been payed in full!! Keep looking up he IS coming back . Amen
