WHAT CHRIST DID IS MAGNIFICENT - 1 Corinthians 15:19-23


 1 Corinthians 15:19 If our hope in Christ is for this life only, we should be pitied more than anyone else in the world.

 20 But Christ has truly been raised from the dead—the first one and proof that those who sleep in death will also be raised. 

 21 Death has come because of what one man did, but the rising from death also comes because of one man. 

 22 In Adam all of us die. In the same way, in Christ all of us will be made alive again. 

 23 But everyone will be raised to life in the right order. Christ was first to be raised. When Christ comes again, those who belong to him will be raised to life, ... 


 Thank You for giving us hope and life. 

 Wow, GOD. 

 When this season is but a distant memory, I never want to forget Your great sacrifice.  

Thank You doesn't seem sufficient...

Thank You for Christ. 
Thank You for Easter.
Thank You for your word.

My Divine Devotions: The test really is simple

-
December 20, 2010 Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. What would it look like if we humbled ourselves before God and asked him to look deep into our heart? What does your family heart look like? How does the heart you show to your spouse, kids and family look? How’s your heart when it comes to your coworkers, neighbors and the maid who sweeps the floors where you work or study? The only test that counts is the one conducted by God. On a scale of one to 10, where do your thoughts rank? And, are you using God’s criteria or your own? The test really is simple: Love God with all your heart and love others as yourself. God’s grading system is simple: Either we pass or fail. Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking.

Following Jesus is for sinners, unbelievers and those who aren't perfect. – Matthew 9:13

Matthew 9:13   Go and learn what this means, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ (Hosea 6:6)   I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.” Good sermons have a way of piercing hearts.  Andy Stanley’s   Follow, Pt.1 Jesus Says   sermon made me examine my heart in a big way. I suggest that you listen to the podcast because the message is good for nonbelievers, but especially amazing for those of us who love the Lord. Andy’s key points: ü Being a sinner is a prerequisite.  The o nly people who resist Jesus are those who "think" they are fine. Be careful! There’s no sin, addiction, illness or sin situation that puts you outside the Lord’s circle. ü Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify you.  None of the Lord’s followers believed for several years. He chastised them several times. ü Following Jesus is purely an invitation to relationship. Rules don’t make a relationship.   God’s kin

Why I write this blog

Family and friends, My entire reason for maintaining this Journey blog is to inspire you to seek God (Matthew 28:19-20) and to read the Scriptures for yourself so that your soul might live on in eternity in His glorious presence (Revelation 21:11).  I've experienced His powerful presence here, right now on earth. This is why I'm passionate! But I'm overwhelmed just thinking of His future fully-revealed glory!  I can't wait! Love, Blanca
