Today's Message: The Good News
There is no more important message in all the world than the Good News that Jesus died for our sins.

The book of Isaiah reveals to us two prophecies concerning the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, which are called "Advents". The first Advent prophesied that the Messiah would come as a Servant, very common and despised by the leader so of that day, and this we know to be true. “For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” - Isaiah 53:2-4. The physical appearance of Jesus is not what brought the people out, but the Spiritual divine intervention by God was felt by those around Him. There was an inner peace and beauty about Him. When He spoke the crowds were drawn to Him, and taken by what He had to say. Jesus Words were different then what was given in the Temple by the religious leaders, and when Jesus taught even the religious leaders listened to what He had to say. They knew that what Jesus spoke was true, and that teaching was against what was being taught in the Temple.

When Jesus Christ went to the cross, He carried your sin to the cross also for you, He was that Passover Lamb that was slaughtered for the sins of the people. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” - Isaiah 53:5-7. Jesus was corrected, judged, spit upon, and cursed, took the insults and sufferings because He was not doing it for Himself, He was doing it for each person that would believe on His name, and seek repentance to the Father in Jesus name. As Jesus hung on that cross and the curses went out to Him, God watched down upon His Son dying on that cross and allowed it. God loved you so much that He would let His only begotten Son go through shame and cursings, the whipping, spitting upon, and the thorns being driven into his skull all to pay the price so that you and I could come to Him in repentance, and ask forgiveness for the sins we do. “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” - Hebrews 2:14,15 .

Isaiah also prophesied of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, only at this time Jesus would not come as the lowly carpenter's son. At Christ's second coming He would come riding on that beautiful white horse, and a Man the world would worship and respect, for at His second coming every knee would bow and tongue confess that He is Lord. At Jesus Christ second coming He would be recognized as the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” - Revelation 19:11-16 . Jesus' second coming will be at the seventh and last trumpet as given in the book of Revelation. This will be the end of this earth age of the flesh, for at that time all mankind living in the flesh shall be changed in the wink of an eye into their new incorruptible bodies. Those spiritual bodies shall never age or become sick but will be as the angels have. At this time all souls that were Biblically illiterate while in their flesh bodies will see the truth of God's Word and understand completely all the truths of God's Holy Word. At Christ's second coming the truth will saturate the entire world, and all those evil things that distracted our minds while in the flesh bodies will be removed from our midst. Praise the Lord!

Today's Prayer:
Dear God,
Lord, though we don’t know the day nor the hour, You already have the blessed event of Christ’s return on Your heavenly calendar.  Even as the Son of Man ascended into heaven He will come again, but this time we have the blessed hope of ascending with Him in the air and joining with those of like precious faith.  Thank You for loved ones and witnesses of the truth who have repeated this glorious life-transforming message to us over the years preparing our hearts for this major event.  May it be the resounding message from our lips as we anticipate the glorious moment when we will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye. In Jesus' Name..........Amen.

Have a wonderful and blessed day/night and enjoy the rest of your week.
