MY FRIENDS, WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE THE ONE’S WITH THE NAILS AND HAMMER?
My friends let’s make it very personal today let’s bring Calvary to our homes for “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 (NIV) Christ knew the journey for him would not end, until His death, resurrection and ascension.
So today the journey continues within us, His chosen, who our Savior is depending on to finish His mandate in the 21st century two thousands years after He walk thru the Jordan trail “down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering like a lamb that is led to the slaughter.
But today, the Messiah, Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is going to walk down every Road, Street, Avenue, Blvd, and Lane. But I also need you to understand His final destination is each of our addresses. Consistent with this, He starts at the betrayal by one of His own Disciples for a mere 30 pieces of silver.
The scrutiny before Annas who was the head of the officiating priestly family, and then through the Court of Caiaphas the High Priest as the charges
of blasphemy or claiming to be God are brought before him, as He is slap and spat upon and “brought as a lamb to the slaughter.”
He is then led through the roman halls of justice as the Jewish rabble rang out crucify Him Crucify him as He is scourged in the sight of the multitude, clothed in purple, and a crown of thorns, placed on His Head as the rabble taunt and salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews.
And now, He arrives at our lovely home and like Judas we have had the privilege of being in the presence of Christ and also like Judas our daily plans just don’t coincide with what he is expecting out of us. John 1:11 (KJV) tells us “He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”
My friends we are his own, we are His chosen generation, the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 (NKJV) Christ is in our home today He has made the pilgrimage all the way to our hearts, and the response from His chosen is, we have decided to pick up the nails and hammer and crucify our savior anew.
With each nail representing doubt, a lack of faith, wasted time in front of our TV’s. In addition; the nails of gossip, covertness and dishonesty but the final nail is the many god’s we choose over the one who gave it all for our salvation, but then we pick up the hammer and each time that God’s Spirit attempts to make a full transformation in our lives we veto God’s plans until another day when our own plans are worked out.
Satan than encourages us to take the hammer and use it to seal our destiny, my friends ask yourself today why do we have to be the one with the nails and hammer why want we give our all to the one who gave it all for us and Choose today to “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Matt 7:13-14 (ESV) but my friends, because of God’s love, grace and mercy, He has chosen you and I to be a part of that few. If we believe and endure.
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
