Jesus, Remember Me

Ever wonder why there were two crosses next to Christ?..Why not six or ten?..Ever wonder why Jesus was in the center?..Could it be the two crosses on the hill symbolize one of God’s greatest gifts?..The gift of choice...The two criminals were convicted by the same system...Condemned to the same death...Equally close to the same Jesus...But one changed!..We’ve made some bad choices in life, haven’t we?..We all look back & we say, “If only I could make up for those bad choices."..We can!..When one thief on the cross prayed, Jesus loved him enough to save him...When the other mocked, Jesus loved him enough to let him... He allowed him the choice...He does the same for us! M.L...""Jesus, remember me when you enter Your Kingdom." He said, "I will. Today you will join Me in paradise." Luke 23:42...Let this be your choice, today

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

When Jesus took His last breath here on earth...the soldiers at the scene of the Cross were dividing up the spoils, as was their way. But this time, the pickings were slim. No money. Jesus had lost even the clothes on His back, exchanging them for some wood & nails. He had no home of His own. His only visible means of support had been His network of friends - but now they were mostly scattered orhidden. Alone. No last will, nothing to probate. He'd given over the care of His mother to someone else. He had no children -- no legacy, as this culture saw it. And now, He was being stripped even of life itself. Nothing left but a corpse, in a grave, the stony end. Nothing. And what of us, who live our lives in a world stuffed with stuff, putting our treasures in the retirement account of earthly life, some of us with families, some with friends. What of our life of blessings & curses? The end. Of the beginning. Because it all comes to the same stony end. And all that's left then is what had been there all along, hidden beneath all the stuff of life. A loving God who is with us & for us. Jesus who was left with nothing, who went into the tomb, but didn't stay there. Nothing became everything. And we can share in that everything now, while we are still alive, whatever we might have. Lord, You are at the end of everything. You are at each new beginning. You are in between, where we are now. You make something worthwhile out of nothing. Help us be part of the Kingdom for which You have set us apart. Amen.

Jesus, the Way to the Father

Jesus, the Way to the Father
Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.

Jesus, the True Vine

Jesus, the True Vine
I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. John 15:1-3
Pray For Lost Souls
Deep in my conscious I am aware that I am helpless and only the Holy spirt can penetrate the heart and minds of those who are without Christ.All I do is sow seed.It's God-and only God-who can make the seed bare fruit.I stress to you that prayer is a indespensable element in preparation to go out and do God's work (will).And I seek to organize as many people as I can together in prayer-praying for the lost.Prayer is the mightiest force in the world.
