An infinite sacrifice!

 We spoke about love ❤, true love being lacking in our world 🌍 because we don't understand what it means to love. We are selfish in our "love". In our so called love for others, we really put ourselves first. I will only love you if you love me first, I will only sacrifice for you if you sacrifice for me. But today we want to look at real love, what is real love about ❤🤔? In order to understand real love, we must look at the One who is love, the Lord Jesus Christ and learn from Him. Let us behold Christ today and let us ask Him for the power to be like Him in this life

Let us behold Christ on His throne 🤴🏾 as He sees Adam and Eve have fallen into sin and are facing eternal death 💀. Let us behold Christ as He offers to take their place, as He offers to empty Himself of His Divine power, to come to the earth as a man, a man of sorrow, tempted man and to suffer the punishment that I deserve, that you deserve. Let us behold Christ,  the eternal Son of God as He become a babe 🤱🏾 in the hands of His creature ,Mary. Let us behold Christ as a child being under the care of human parents. Let us behold Christ,  the Son of the eternal, as He is being taught by His human creatures to speak, to learn and to do different things. What a sacrifice, what humility, what love!

Let us behold Christ as He faces temptation from Satan 😈, a being He created Holy but who rebelled against Him. Let us behold Christ as He is starving to death in the wilderness. The Creator of all things suffering from want of food and being tempted. Let us behold Christ as He goes around healing the sick, mending the brokenhearted, feeding the hungry, going around doing good. Let us behold Christ as the people whom He came to save accuse Him of having a demon, persecute and harass Him. Let us behold Christ having to escape from one place to another in order to continue doing good . Let us behold Christ, what a sacrifice, what love !

Let us behold Christ in the garden of Gethsemane, as He facing the supreme test 😥. Will He lay down His life to save sinful, wicked, selfish, ungrateful and foolish humanity?  And what life will He lay down 🤔? Eternal life. He was facing the laying down of a life of eternal bliss, the love of The Father, the adoration of the angels and other worlds, the life of being God . No one will ever be asked to do such sacrifice and what did Christ choose ? He chose to lay down His life for me and you, sinners, ungrateful and foolish sinners. Christ basically say if I have to die to save them, then i will die. I love them so much that I would rather not exist forever so that they may live 😮

I will take their death, eternal death so that they may have my life. What love ❤! Amazing love ❤! Jesus gave up all for us and all He ask us is to give up the evil things that are destroying us. You cannot love your sins more than Jesus loved the Father. You cannot love your alcohol, your movies, your anger, your lust more than Jesus loved the Father and yet Jesus was willing to be separated from the Father,  from eternal bliss to save you, to save me. This is love, this is sacrifice. To love is to sacrifice. If you love Christ you will sacrifice all that is necessary to be with Him. To love others is to sacrifice for their wellbeing. The One who loves most will sacrifice most.

Let us then friends behold Christ, behold His love, His sacrifice and let us ask God to do all to make us like Jesus. Lord, help me to love like Jesus, help me to live like Jesus. No love without sacrifice, for to love is to sacrifice ❤💔🙏🏾

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 

John 15:13

A new Constantine: Will Trump become more religious ?

 On October 28, 312 AD, the battle of the Milvian bridge took place between Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius. Rome was in the midst of a civil war . Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments. Daniel 8:21 Speak : is how a nation create laws, a nation speaks by its laws So now that we have these definitions, let us go and see which nation on earth that the Bible speaks of during the end of times. There is only one super power nation coming out from an...

The spiritual nature and the degradation of marriage

Man was made in the image of God.  What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What is God like ? The Bible says "God is a Spirit." What comes to mind when you think of a Spirit? You think of something not limited by physical restraints, something unseen, something greater than the physical.  God made man in His image, He made a spiritual being covered by an earthly body. We all have the breath of God within us, we all have a spirit within us. The spirit within is the real person, the character.  With the spiritual nature we relate to God and with the earthly nature we relate to the earth.  So let's break it down a little bit so we can understand . What are the things we find in the spiritual nature ?  In the spiritual nature we find love, patience, longsuffering, mercy etc.. The spiritual nature is all about relationships, that's the most important to the spiritual nature, its highest goal. Why do I say this ? Remember what we said in the beginning, "God ...
