Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
As i walked toward the good friday service, I overheard a little boy asking his dad," Why do they call it good friday? There is nothing good about Jesus dying.
His dad looked into his little boys eyes and asked him to remember those bible stories from his Sunday school class Yes, good Friday is sad, but two days later, Jesus Christ will rise out of the grave into eternal life. God made it abundantly clear through all of the major prophets and the words of Jesus regarding what would happen to Him. Good Friday and Easter morning were clear signs that death would be forever defeated. No more pain, or suffering to us all because of what Jesus did on the cross.
Sigh, as I reflected on the millions of Iranian Christians who were murdered by the Radical Islamic regime since 1979 as a result of the Khomeini regime's skewed way of thinking when it pushed out the peoples choice of leader, the Shah, and ushered in Sharia law to anyone who dared violated their skewed way of thinking.
Sigh, as I reflected on the millions of babies ripped limb for limb by the satanic abortion industry simply because of 'woman's rights.
Sigh, as I reflected on the historically know racism of the Democratic party since the civil war days that lynched black men, destroyed black families by giving woman extra money in Government handouts if they weren't married.
Sigh, as I reflected on the lies said by the Democratic politians that they were never the racist party. Then, I remembered through the years a record number of racist laws passed by them like Lyndon Johnson's great welfare program when he mentioned that he will have blacks voting democratic for the next 200 years.
Sigh, as I reflected on the radical indoctrination of our public institutions with declining academic scores, increased hatred between the races that only fuals riots in the street, especially around major election cycles.
As I reflected on the victims, I see Jesus Christ standing at the gate of heaven with open arms welcoming those who's lives ended abruptly. For them, their bodies were healed without a single trace of any earthly affliction. Jesus healed and made them whole.
As I looked at the rising morning sun, I was reflecting on my own salvation- a decision I made to Jesus in the spring of 1974 at the little country coffee house in the Minnetonka Mills neighborhood. It was a decision I never regretted as I sensed the presense of Jesus walking by my side every day of my life.
While there is still time, I encouraged anyone who doesn't know Jesus as their personal Savior to bow before God and invite his son, Jesus, into your heart with this simple prayer: Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God came to earth to be the Saviour of the world, and that by His death on he cross, He paid the price for the sin of the world, so that whosoever believes on Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.
Thank You for Jesus and thank You for my free gift of salvation. Thank You that by believing on His name, I am forgiven of my sins and and brought into sweet fellowship with my heavenly Father.
Thank You, Lord, for sending Your Son to die on Calvary's cross in my place. Thank You that His innocent life was sufficient to pay the full price for my sin, and the sin of the world.
Lord, I turn from all my prideful sins and from everything that is dishonoring to Your name, and pray that I would grow in grace and in a knowledge of Jesus, until I come to a spiritual maturity, as day by day the Holy Spirit seeks to transform my lowly body into the likeness of Jesus.
Thank You, Father, for Your wonderful gift of salvation and thank You that by believing I am now Your child. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
If you said this prayer, you can be assured that you will see Jesus Christ the moment you take your final breath on this side of the veil.
