Rejection of Evidence Regarding The Christ

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

Scripture passage:  Mark 14:62-65    “…and ye shall see the Son of Man….”

The value of The Christ’s Testimony before the High Priest

How was Jesus’ testimony received by the High Priest?  First thing we should notice is that he was complicit in having false witnesses present to manufacture charges against Jesus as well as other improprieties associated with this trial.

So we take notice of the position which the High Priest assumed on this occasion, it is a position which a great many men assume in regard to the evidences of Christianity today.  He had asked the question, “Are you The Christ?”  Was he prepared to accept supporting evidence?  Suppose Jesus had responded in the negative.  Then He would have been an impostor, and would have been led off from there self-condemned.

But, when Jesus said “I AM,” was there any attempt in the mind of the High Priest to permit testimony?  Instead of even pretending to give any pretense of willingness to consider the testimony he condemned Jesus for blasphemy.

In a legitimate trial Jesus could have easily presented plenty of evidence but there was a predetermined position of opposition against Him which precluded any evidence from having an effect.  That is the position of many people today: they’ve taken the position of opposition which precludes any fair pondering of proof; and the testimony of The Christ to His Messiahship in its full meaning, to wit, the only begotten Son of God and Savior of any who will accept that fact accompanied with a preponderance of evidence that would overwhelmingly convince any man of anything except that.  It does not carry any weight with them because they have chosen not to believe.

Even then, the mighty Messiah who manifests miracles could have brought a complete halt to that kangaroo court’s proceedings but then salvation’s wondrous plan would not have been completed.  Jesus was still in charge, but He lets the evil ones run their course.  Never forget, this was not the time of their choosing but He chose the precise date.

Disbelieve in the Jesus of the Holy Bible and no matter what else you do in this life their will be no virgins and no raisins for you, not even one – only the outer darkness of bitter regret.  Embrace the Jesus of the Holy Bible while you can because He cares for you.

Danger in Being Attracted to the World’s System

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

He who becomes a friend to the world’s ways becomes an enemy to Christ’s ways and people.  When you begin to love them, you begin to dislike Christ’s religion.  When you begin to worship money you cease to worship God.  When you begin to love the house of pleasure you begin to dislike the house of prayer. When you begin to love bad books you begin to lose a taste for the Bible.  When you seek irreligious associates you draw off steadily from intercourse with the people of God.  When the greedy lust of the world has eaten out a Christian conscience, when it has deadened the spiritual sense, when it has dry-rotted the whole heart, when it has banished The Christ and possessed the soul’s affections then the man is ready to completely to desert the Lord’s camp.  Actually he has deserted!

What is any person worth to the Church, or to God, when his heart is the property of Satan?  He may linger within the camp or even wear the uniform of a church member.  But when the bugle calls to action he is not in the ranks.  When a march of reform is ordered or a strife for God’s law is waged, he is calling for compromise or flat-out “missing.”  Therefore, when the final role call is announced, he won’t be there.

Matthew 7:21-23  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Still, Jesus calls “Come unto Me,” therefore why would you resist Him?

What are You? Why are you what you are?

Matthew 13:36-40  Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. – Jesus, The Christ, as recorded in the Holy Bible

A common saying among the tares is,

“We are all children of God.”

  However that is not what the Scripture or Jesus teaches;

all those who are not genuine followers of The Christ, howsoever good or moral they may seem to be are counted as tares by God and will meet the end appointed unto tares unless they let God “genetically modify” them.  In that same vein, do not kid yourself, it is as though we continue to carry a dormant gene that may become reactivated by the enemy of our soul if we do not stay in close contact with our Savior and Lord.

Stay connected to the vine and be blessed

Pastor Jeffress regarding voting Trump

Robert Jeffress: Christians Not Voting for Donald Trump If He’s the Nominee Are Foolish, Prideful

“It is absolutely foolish to do anything that would allow Hillary Clinton to become the next President of the United States … at least Donald Trump has voiced a belief in a pro-life movement, he has at least talked about religious liberty as he did last Friday, you don’t hear either things coming from the lips of Hillary Clinton,” he continued.

“I believe any Christian who would sit at home and not vote for the Republican nominee … that person is being motivated by pride rather than principle and I think it would be a shame for people to allow Hillary Clinton four or eight years in the White House,” he said.

Be Joyful

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

It takes seventy-three muscles to frown, so they tell us, but only fourteen to smile.  Well, no wonder grouchy people are always so tired.

Happiness depends on happenings; joy depends on Jesus.

Joy is the flag that is flown from the castle of the heart when the King is in residence there.

One is Fighting for a tolerant accepting open holy religion and society and way of life. The other fights for an oppressive, intolerant, enslaving violent sinful religion and society.
