Of God and Mankind

When the Lord Jesus Christ used five barley loaves and two fish to feed five thousand men not counting women and children (Matthew 14:13-21), the people were so stunned by this miracle that they wanted to make Jesus king by force but the Lord left the place without their notice (John 6:14-15). The people still looked for the Lord Jesus because they wanted more of such miracles. However, when they had found Him, He told them something else that stunned them - that His body was real food and His blood was real drink and whoever ate His body and drank His blood would have eternal life and He would raise such person up on the last day (John 6:51-56). When the people heard this, many of them stopped being Jesus' disciples and left because they felt the teaching was too difficult to follow (John 6:60, 66). Rather than call them back to offer explanations since He meant what He said, the Lord Jesus asked His Apostles if they too wanted to leave to which Peter responded in Jo...

What some or even most Christians don't understand is that without the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour from death, there would be no Christianity. While He was on earth as a human being Jesus said He came to die for the sins of mankind and that He would be tortured and He would rise again from death. He said it and He did it (Luke 24:44-48). Clearly, this is a pointer to the fact that Jesus Christ is God because no other Prophet in the history of mankind made such authoritative pronouncement about himself that came to pass. Prophets of old made prophecies concerning others and the future that came to pass but only Jesus our Lord and Messiah made a prophecy about Himself on such a critical subject as death and resurrection and came back alive to confirm it. The Resurrection story is so compelling that it not only began the Church Era (Christianity or Body of Christ), but the Apostles of Christ all died as martyrs for their faith in the Gospel Messag...

Dear friend, are you in the habit of getting angry when someone offends you or when you offend someone you keep malice and expect the person to come beg you? There are cases of even married couples who quarrel and keep malice for up to three months! The question to ask is, if the Lord Jesus Christ were to come for His Church today in Rapture, will He take such people along with Him? The answer is absolute no! This is because malice is not of God but of the devil or satan. Anyone who has been joined to Christ Jesus in Salvation has become a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17) and all unrighteousness should not be found in such person. What does one gain in keeping malice with another person? Each time you see the person, there is bitterness and pain in your hearts and you pass each other without saying a word. Now if you get to heaven and see the person, no doubt such malice would still occur. Unfortunately, the Lord Jesus cannot allow such persons to enter His Kingd...

The King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, First and Last, our Messiah and Saviour Jesus Christ gave His life as a ransom for the sins of mankind. He did it to destroy what satan or the devil had done when he (satan) deceived man to disobey God's command not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden. Sin entered the world as a result of man's disobedience to God's command. Death then entered the world, man became enemy with God and was destined to hell fire because heaven was shut. The Lord Jesus Christ reversed all this on the Cross of Calvary. Praise be to God for this wonderful gift He gave to mankind. As a result of what Jesus did, grace flows into the world and into the lives of true Christian believers. Grace is God's FREE gift to mankind that nobody can earn. You cannot obtain Grace on your merit or by the good works you do. Good works as a Christian are necessary but Grace is...
