MY FRIENDS, JUST BLAME IT ON THE CHRISTIANS, THEY DID IT!!

Christianity did not start as a religion, but as a movement with it’s main focal point centered around one person, Jesus Christ. The name Christ comes from christos, a Greek word meaning “anointed.” It is the equivalent of the word mashiach, or Messiah, in Hebrew.

So to be Christ, or the Messiah, is to be “the Anointed one of God.” Priests and kings were anointed during this time, So Messiah or Christ is a King chosen and anointed by God. (Our Rabi Jesus His Jewish life and Teachings)

The Hatred for Christ and His followers begin in heaven when Satan’s desire was to be like the most High, and it continued at His birth when Herod tried to have the baby Jesus killed and continued throughout His ministry. This hatred for Christ went to another level with each step that led up to Christ Crucifixion and resurrection at Calvary.

Then Nero who searched for a scapegoat for the burning of Rome, begin persecuting the Christians ruthlessly by torturing and executing them in the most hideous ways and it has continued throughout History with the death of millions.

2000 years since the death of Christ and Christians are still being crucified, decapitated, shot, imprisoned, persecuted, harassed, their property confiscated and churches destroyed. But where I need you to focus at today is how strong is your faith, and how committed are you to what you believe in.

Suppose your faith comes down to your livelihood, or whether you can provide for your family or not “If You Don’t Stand for Something, we will Fall for Anything” that quote, as a Christian, must have some type of meaning as we make it personal and ask ourselves, what does the name of Christ stand for in my life? And does that name have some kind of impact on my belief and how far I will follow a name, or a movement?

In addition, if we have decided to make Jesus Christ and His life, our life, than the weight of the cross on our shoulders is inevitable, and only the one who carried that cross for you and I can be the one who determines our destination and how heavy our cross will be.

But my friends, it starts with the faith of a mustard seed, and with that small amount of faith “if  you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matt. 17:20 (NKJV) not even the thought of death, because how can any-one kill someone who is already dead.

Yes “dead in the anointed one, our redeemer, the one who gave it all so that we may live throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity, in His pure and holy kingdom. So today my friends if your faith is being stretched to its limit, or to what we consider the breaking point, remember if Christ is our life, than He can only be the one that determines what our limits are.

But our “God is faithful; he will not let [His children] be tempted beyond what [we] can bear. But when [we] are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that [we] can endure it.” 1 Cor. 10:13 (NIV) because this is all about preparing us for a time, a place, a Situation, and circumstance, that if He would allow it to happen today we would not be able to handle it.

So as Christians, led by Jehovah, let’s stay strong and endure as we lift up our eyes to the hills From whence comes our help? And soon we will see Him in all of His majesty and glory, coming through the clouds above, and His reward will be with Him, life eternal.

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
