Nothing is more important than the gospel of Jesus Christ.  NOTHING.

 

In 2020, we have taken a few steps backwards:

Creation, Individual Identity, and the idea of Marriage and Family are all under attack.

 

But none should be.

 

The Gospel is before you.

 

Jesus laid down His life freely that you may be free.

 

He laid down His life freely that you may have Him.

 

He laid down His life freely that you may be able to lay it ALL at His feet, forever surrendering your ties to the world and all that it has to offer—and this is because the world has NOTHING to offer.  NOTHING.

 

Solomon tried IT ALL.  He denied himself NOTHING.  Sex, Parties, Wealth, Wisdom, and everything else.  To which he concluded:

Ecclesiastes 2  10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;  I refused my heart no pleasure.

My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor.  11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;  nothing was gained under the sun.

 

To which Solomon replied:  “Life Is Meaningless” and “He puts eternity on man’s hearts yet no man can fathom His work from beginning to end.” 

 

The meaning of life has been sought and pursued from the beginning of time.

 

And God has responded, and responded in full.

 

In Job, He questions the broken man with:

Job 38  4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?  Tell me, if you understand.

 

To Moses, He declared:

Exodus 3  6 … “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

 

To the great Nebuchadnezzar, He stopped him mid-sentence and changed his destiny:

Daniel 4  31 The words were still on his lips when a voice came from heaven, “This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you.

 

The God of the Old Testament IS the God of the new testament.  

He is above the world and all of our desires.

He speaks to Prophets.

He is above Kings.

 

And He is waiting for us to accept His Son, who went to the pits of hell that we might have life.

 

Go into God’s House.

Lay down your possessions and your dreams and your pride and your sin … and put them at His feet that He might put a freedom on you that you can never receive from anything on this planet.

 

Revelation 4  10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:

   11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,

   to receive glory and honor and power,

   for you created all things,

       and by your will they were created

       and have their being.”

 

 

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
