Jesus Died For Sinners

Jesus Died For Sinners

Jesus took the place of a sinner, a murderer , a thief. 

Jesus took the place of one condemned to die.

A man hated for his many, many crimes, a man who deserved death.

The prison doors were opened, the captive was set free

and all pardon was given to Him. 

I wonder did He behold the innocent taking His place?

Could He have believed in the Christ that day?

The day Barabbas saw Jesus taking His place?

Jesus took the place of every sinner, of every sin.

He came to set the captive free, free from sins bondage.

To save them from certain death, eternal death. 

To release us from the punishment we deserve, Hell.

He paid our debt, he died for the sins of mankind.

Did Barabbas do one thing to deserve His freedom? 

No, He did not deserve it, He did nothing to obtain it.

Barabbas is a symbol of every sinner. 

Jesus gave himself for your sins, for my sins.

 "Jesus paid it all, all to him we owe. "

John 18:28-40

sinner, jesus, Barabbas, freedom, sins, forgiveness

I just wanted to add this... You know, the people chose, Barabbas over Jesus.    But we all know, Jesus was born to die for the sins of the world.
He was God in the flesh.  He willingly went to the cross for our sins.  

The bible teaches if we offend one of the commandments we are guilty of all.  So knowing God's Word is true, we are all undeserving before God.

 James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Are We In The Autumn Of Our Country?

Are We In The Autumn Of Our Country?

 Autumn was made by God's creative hand.

Each color, each thing that blesses our land.

We know God has been so good to us:

This nation grew strong, when in God was trust.

One nation under God  blessed  by His light;

But because of sin, we have turned from right.

Are we in the autumn of our country?

Are we at risk , of losing liberty?

Though we know Autumn's  months are colorful;

Filled with apples, corn and festivals.

Then the colors we enjoy now will fade;

And the cold will chase autumn away.

Our God looketh down from upon high;

I'm sure with a sadness in His eye.

A nation that once feared the Lord seems  gone;

But we as Christians must continue on.

When the Autumn months have come and gone;

But the world goes around and on and on.

Looking at what all we have left behind.

But  it will be too late to change our mind.

 Thank the Lord for what all He's given us;

He's  been more than just a God to trust.

He's  blest this country so and has been;

Our Father, our Savior, and  our best friend.

One nation under God  blessed  by His light;

But because of sin, we have turned from right.

Are we in the autumn of our country?

Are we at risk, of losing liberty?

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

Thoughts About Religious Freedom

Thoughts About Religious Freedom

As Christians we believe the Bible and live by the Bible.  We believe God.  We believe in religious freedom.  We believe in raising our children by our own convictions.  For someone to start telling us how to raise our children, when God tells us differently, we have lost freedom.  I do not believe in abusing children, but I do believe in spanking children.  There is a difference.  The Bible tells us if we spare the rod we hate our child.  It does not say spoil, it says, HATE.  Is God a liar that we should not trust His rule?  Anyone who speaks contrary to Biblical teaching or forces us to go against our God given conscience, He has stripped us of freedom men from the past died to give us.

When you tell a child he has more power than his parents, there will be some big, big problems in this country.  When we spank our children it's because we love them and care about what they become.

Proverbs 13:24

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

For Our Children We Cry - updated after Obama's Speech

For Our Children We Cry

God has given us freedom;

Freedom to live in Him.
But He does not give freedom;
For us to live in sin.

Men have died and men have cried;
For freedoms now denied.
Sin resides and will not hide;
For our children we cry.

God says protect, not neglect.
There little hearts from harm.
But sin has reigned and profaned;
And left our children unarmed.

Return to God, leave sins sod;
Lest America die.
If we repent with knees bent;
God's mercy will apply.

after Obama's Speech:  

I would like to let you know that when I wrote this poem it was and is about the spiritual battle of heart and soul.

In this poem when I wrote the quote "our children unarmed"  it means without scripture and moral teachings.  Teaching that guides our children to follow the ways of God. 

God's Word helps arm our children against teachings that are damaging to them, our homes and our country.  

Our children need Jesus.  I do not believe in arming children with guns.  I believe in arming our children with truth. 

 I do believe in owning guns as Americans 

but not in the hands of children.

God teaches the way of blessing to America through these Verses verse

2Choronicles 7:14
 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
 Deuteronomy 11:27-28b
 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD

Oh Beautiful Heaven, I'm Waiting - By: S Nikitenko

Treasure Box ~ Heaven

Oh Beautiful Heaven I’m Waiting

By: Susan Y Nikitenko

2009 Revised August 16th, 2011

Beautiful heaven waiting for me;

Oh home, prepared by my Jesus.

He awaits that great day, with much love ;

This sinful body to free us.

No more lame legs, deaf ears or blind eyes,

No war injured men or women.

All sickness, handicap, pain, disease;

We’ll find none, no, not in heaven.

No more memory of past mistakes;

Happiness, forever lasting.

Such perfect praising, on Him gazing;

Humbly bowing, crowns forth casting.

Hallelujahs, anthems, songs we’ll raise;

Poetry of praise we’ll recite.

To magnify our Awesome Lord;

All day long, but there’s no more night.

All the days or nights of suffering ;

That bring discouragement and grief,

Within our Saviors comforting arms;

We’ll find great peace, and such relief.

All the Memories of this painful world;

Will not be remembered anymore.

When we go to live with our Jesus;

In our new home forevermore.

Yes, there may be pain and hurting here;

But Remember, there's a better day.

When Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;

Will gently wipe all tears away

Oh Beautiful heaven, I’m waiting;

While I serve our God faithfully,

And praising each day our Jesus;

God’s sweet Son, Who died for me.
