The Reason Jesus Came

December 5, 2008 - 8 Kislev, 5769

On This Christmas season I wanted to reflect for a moment on the opposite end of Jesus earthly life. Christmas is a day arbitrarily chosen as a day to celebrate His birth, but why was He born. He came to be the sacrifice that would take away both the power and guilt of our sins.It is through His blood that we have the victory over Satan.

I have embedded below a video of the song We are the Reason. The song was originally written by David Meece and redone by Avalon. The video below shows clips of scenes from the Passion of the Jesus Christ played to the Avalon version of the song.

When you view the video below think about this. If God loves us enough to send His Son to suffer so brutally then He will not withhold any good thing from us. Allow this video to strenghthen your faith and love for the Lord. As for me He is worthy of my all. If my association with and witness for Christ results in the loss of freedom, possessions or even my life then He is worthy of such sacrifice. Many now suffer for Him and soon in America Christian will suffer as the result of dramatic changes soon to unfold.

The sea was blocking their path in front of them and the Egyptian army was pursuing them from behind. They were in what seemed to be an impossible situation. (Exodus 14)

April 28, 2008 - 23 Nisan, 5768

In this commentary on chapters 10-11 there are some powerful lessons about walking in faith:Because God loves us He acts for our good. The Word of God is a sure anchor.

Patterns of the Saints

April 7, 2008 - 2 Nisan, 5768

When one studies the lives of the saints in the scriptures, a clear pattern commonly emerges as they walk towards victory. There are three stages as they fight the good fight of faith. There is the initial move of faith followed by a season of trials in the wilderness. At the end of this season the child of God reaches the turning point where God brings the victory.
