5/26/2006 " Jesus wept."
He is a God of emotion, and I am sure that His heart breaks at the choices of His creation 5/18/2006 I want to hear from you!If you have visited my space I would like to know who you are and if you found anything intresting here. If not what can I do to make it better.....thanks!  5/14/2006 Voice Of Grace" I tell you the truth, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:43
What did the thief on the cross do to warrant help? He wasted his life...who was he to beg for forgiveness? He pubicly scoffed at Jesus. What right did he have to pray...."Jesus remember me when you come into Your Kingdom"? Do you really want to know the truth? He had the same right as you do to pray....In his place, that is you and me on that cross next to Jesus. Naked, desolate, hopeless and left alone to die. That is us. That is us asking, for Jesus to remember us...We do not boast, we do not produce any list of accomplishments. Any sacrifice on our part appears silly when placed before God on a cross...We like the thief , have one more prayer. And we, like the thief, pray. And we, like the thief, hear the voice of grace.
"Being made right with God by His grace, we could have the hope of receiving the life that never ends." Titus 3:7
You may be a decent person, you may pay your taxes and kiss your kids and sleep with a clean conscience. But apart from Christ, you are not holy. So how can you go to Heaven apart from Christ? All you have to do is believe. Accept the work already done; the work of Jesus on the cross. Accept the goodness of Jesus Christ. Abandon your own works and accept His. Abandon your own decency and accept His. Stand before God in His name, not yours. Is it that easy, you ask? There was nothing easy about it at all. The cross was heavy, the blood was real, and the price was extravagant. The cost would have destroyed you or me., so He paid it for us. Call it simple. Call it a gift. But do not call it easy. Call it what it is.....Call it grace.
"Everyone who believes in Him is freed from all guilt and declared right with God-something the jewish law could never do."
Acts 13:39
" For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed His blood, sacrificing His life for ours."
Romans 3:25
" Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
Roamns 5:9
