9 Tishri 5766 HIS Kingdom is Preparing for Completion!
Luke 14:26-30 NIV
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'
Most Believers in Christ read this scripture and understand the weight and the cost of losing family, friends and even their own life.
Yet, many will overlook the lesser mention of the plan God had in place for each of us, even before HE gave us HIS Son as our sacrificial lamb necessary for salvation.
There is without a doubt, no person who would start something on this scale, intending for the cause to fail before it was completed.
Seeing that after 2000 years, HIS kingdom is still being built upon the Solid Foundation of Christ, our RESURRECTED Savior, not left as unfinished by someone who was defeated by death!
Our Hope for Salvation and Eternal Life is in HIS Victory over Death, Hell and the Grave, anything less would have been worthless!!!
O'Lord, YOUR plan was purposed before time began!
That in Christ, and HIM alone, I will be saved
for YOUR eternal Glory!!
My Faith is built on nothing less,
than that of Christ, the Solid Rock and HIS
finished work at Calvary!!!
Amen
