The Steps of Jesus

Communion The steps of Jesus is the reminder for us all. Taking the cup and eating the bread serves as reminder of what Jesus did on the cross; the Father forgave the sinner, was satisfied in his holiness as He pored the wrath on his Son. You might ask, why would He do that? Why kill His own Son? Well it's because of who He is, and it's because of who we are. God by nature is love, and by nature is holy--on the cross these two sides meet. The cross of Christ reflects holiness and incomparable love; humans are lost, guilty, fall short in our own righteousness; everywhere we look, we see murder, hatred, and crime, but that is only from our human perspective--from God perspective the scale is much higher. Every person that comes into the earth, comes in to the earth guilty, sinners before God (Romans 5:12).

Being a sinner, guilty before God, Jesus however, makes an intervention for those who believe in Him. "Yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors" (Isa 53:12). Therefore, the people who eat the bread and drink the wine remember Christ on the cross paying the price that should be paid by us--Jesus Christ shields the sinner before the Father on the cross.

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scripture

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures , that he was buried , that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:3)

The Last Moments of Christopher Hitchens life

Christopher Hitchens is one of the leading atheist of our times, they call it the new atheism now. He also is the author of a book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” that was just recently released; heavily opposing religion and any idea that God exist. But right now Mr Hitchens is in his last stages of the esophageal cancer. The New Your Time describes his last moments of life like this: “Some of these articles were written with the full consciousness that they might be my very last. Sobering in one way and exhilarating in another, this practice can obviously never become perfected.” Another words, Hitchens has little time left. Smoking and drinking was something that Hitchens needed to quit, life was more important then the pleasures of these habits, not mentioning that he had a feeding tube installed since June. He had power in articulating his worldview to others, the ideas, but were these thoughts the reality of our world? You could notice that Mr Hi

Why Job DID NOT cursed God?

http://www.skybluevaping.co.za/image/data/journal/1383-1.jpg The tone of the conversation was different when Satan appeared before God second time. Not because Satan repented or agreed with God, but because his hypothesis fell short. Satan just destroyed Jobs wealth and his children (seven sons and three daughters) using evil men, fire, and wind arguing that this was the reason why Job served God in the first place. Job response to his lost was not a cursing God attitude but a humble worship. “ Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord ” (Job 1:20). When Satan appears before God second time, God asked him the same question as he did in the first conversation, "' Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? ” (Job 2:3). Since what Satan hoped for become eventually not t
