The Agape Letters
February 15, 2005 The Days Ahead!
John 16:1-3
“All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
Where would the gospel of Jesus be were it not for those who were willing to die?
Certain punishment and even death followed each of the apostles during their ministries!
Even as today, studying to become a lawyer, the students must prepare both defense and prosecution briefs for case assignments.
At the appointed time these students must present their case before the court in a mock trial consisting of their peers and a presiding judge.
Not one of these students wish to receive a judgement DENYING victory!
Satan, the accuser of the brethren, is prepared to present evidence during The Days Ahead that will lead to persecution and even death for Believers in Christ.
To be found quilty of TOTAL DEDICATION and SERVICE to God, will bring a Spiritual VERDICT of Victory, but a CARNAL verdict of death.
Knowing the VERDICT prior to Judgement and Sentencing, the apostles STILL continued
PLEADING the Case of Christ to ALL!
To HIM who sits on HIS Throne in Judgement!
Great is Thy Name in ALL the earth!!
Judge me now, O' Lord to be faithful and true!!!
