THE BIG SACRIFICE

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

(John 3:16, NLT)

In order to draw man to Himself, God gave Jesus Christ. He was the Big Sacrifice to redeem us and to set us apart.

Jesus did not look at His status but gave up all. With such humility, God elevated Him to the Highest place of Authority.

You should think about things in the same way that Christ Jesus thought: Christ had the same nature as God. He was completely equal with God.
But he did not try to keep hold of that. Instead, he chose to leave heaven.
He took for himself the nature of a slave. He became like a human.
And when he lived as a man, he made himself even less important.
He obeyed God completely, so that he died. He even died on a cross!
Because of that, God then raised Jesus Christ to the most important place.
God gave him the name that is greater than every other name. As a result, when people hear Jesus’ name, they must worship him. Everyone will have to go down on their knees in front of him.
That includes everything that is in heaven,
everything on the earth and everything under the earth. Everyone will have to agree that Jesus Christ is Lord. When they say that aloud, they will show that God the Father is very great

(Philippians 2:5-11, EASY)

Jesus knew the Cost yet He was determined to Carry the Cross so that you and I can sing Amazing Grace. He looked into the future with Love and Joy as he took one step ahead of the other into His death. He saw You and I spending eternity with Him. He loved us enough to go through the humiliation, pain, rejection, etc.

Today, we talk about Jesus being the big sacrifice but let me ask you, what sacrifice have you made for this Jesus? How are you living your life?

As we run, we must always look towards Jesus. He is the one who trusted God completely. Our faith starts with him, and he will help us to trust God all the way to the end. Jesus accepted punishment on the cross. He chose to receive much pain. He did not think about being ashamed to die like that. He knew that God had prepared something very good for him that would make him happy. Now he has sat down at the right side of God to rule with him in heaven.

(Hebrews 12: 2, EASY)

Your Sacrifice is your symbol of Humility and God will exalt you for whatever you (have) give(n) up for Him.

My Christian friends, God has been very kind to us. Because of that, I really want you to serve God with your whole life. Offer your bodies to him like a sacrifice that continues to live. Serve him with everything that you have and that will please him. That is the true way to worship God

(Romans 12:1, EASY)

Beware of The Liar’s Whisper

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

(1 Peter 5:8, NLT)

There is no doubt that Satan is smart. After all he existed before you were born and he understands this world better. That is why I believe that no human in his natural capabilities can defeat him. Don’t be deceived when someone tells you that Satan is no match for you when you have no relationship with Jesus Christ.

The mastermind of all deceits is Satan. He knows the scriptures too so he is able to twist the truth for his purpose. Nothing on this earth is new to him but he is a liar. Jesus said ‘He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. ‘ (John 8:44,NLT)

Satan knows how to whisper into your ears, right down into your soul. He waits for an opportunity to present his facts about the situation, add all dots to make it appear real. He can make you doubt your partner without a cause, and also make you hate your neighbor for nothing. Has it ever happened to you when every action of your neighbor had a meaning and fits perfectly into certain narrative you had perceived. Then you later approached him/her only to realize that he/she meant no harm and was even surprised that you would think that way.

The Liar’s whisper is real and prevalent. He would whisper about your health, work, business, finances, family and relationship with people, church, etc. He is probably whispering into your ears now. Beware! Don’t believe his lies “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:20, NLT)

‘Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. ‘

Thought for the Day: He Will Answer (11.23.23)

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

He who did not spare [even] His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?

(Romans 8:32, AMP)

God gave Jesus Christ for you. He did not withhold him so you can be rest assured that He will not withhold anything from you. Remember that all things were made through Jesus Christ and with Him, you have all things. Today, be encouraged that God will answer your request(s) in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
