Today is a special day! It's Manny's birthday and we are getting ready for vacation. The kids are going to meet us in Big Bear on Tuesday and we have rented a fabulous place! It sleeps 12 and has everything you could wish for.
Today is also the day my Dad passed from death to life, and each April 17th as we celebrate Manny's birthday we think of my Dad and how jealous we are that he got to see the face of Jesus first! :) The hope of salvation through Christ is we will meet again and enjoy eternity together! At that time we will celebrate forever together!
I am so thankful for the gift of salvation and as we celebrated Palm Sunday I was reminded of the sacrifice Christ made for us. Bill Wiese spoke of hell, and it's reality. It shook me to my core when he said many are already there, in a place God never intended for man. However, those that reject Him choose to go there.
He also spoke of those that say "we are all God's children and there are many paths to God" or "I am good so I will go to heaven", and that is false. We will all spend eternity somewhere and God doesn't send us to hell we choose Him or reject Him.
It's all about a relationship with Christ. BIll Wiese also gave the example, if you were invited to someone"s house and they gave directions because there was only one road that led to their street. But you decided all roads lead to his house, you would never get there and would end up somewhere else. Or how we have nerve to show up at the gates of heaven pounding on the door, saying "let me in" only to hear God say "I don't know you", so there is no reason he should let us in. What a sad moment in eternity that would be for any of us.
So, I said all that to say this: God is a God of love, a God who wants us to know him and point others to the truth. We must do this...
