Oh Come Let Us Adore Him, Christ the Lord.

"14 We must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. But God will not take away life, and he devises means so that the banished one will not remain an outcast." 2 Samuel 14:14 ESV

   This is just a small blog during a time when Good Friday and Easter is brought so low to be credited to a creature that was made by the Creator. Rather than ramble on about why society has been lead astray. Let this article be of rejoicing and gospel calling to those who have fallen away and have truly missed the point of life and of what it means to be a christian.


I chose the verse above because this is the truth, this is Christ, this verse points to Christ in a place of the old testament. Yes context of the story is key as well in 2nd Samuel, but hey it does work. We must all die, that is true, not a single Human being on this earth will outlive time and existence. All will meet their due end. Water that is spilled on the ground and swallowed up by time and the soil from which we were created. You can throw all you want at me, I honestly don't care. Truth is, you and I will die. Are you comfortable with the unknown? Of not knowing IF there is an eternity, and IF  there is, are you fine with not knowing if you're heaven or hell bound? the naivety is senseless.

Christ some 2,000 years ago, walked some of his last steps. And with him dragged a Cross. with him blood dripped to the ground HE CREATED. all the thoughts must have rushed back to his head, thoughts of his childhood, of birthdays, of laughter with friends and family, of spending time with his father being a carpenter. Tears must have streamed from his face... knowing that these final hours would some of the most painful. He knew though, HE KNEW that God had devised a means that those who were lost, the banished, the out cast, the ones he loved could return.

And then the metaphorically triumphant Hallelujah, Christ speaks and says "it is FINISHED". This is the beautiful final chapter.He gives his soul, he takes our sin, he crucifies our sin, became and embodied our sin so that we may have fellowship with the father. Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.I once was lost but now I'm found, twas blind but now I see. This Article is simply a call to stand in awe at the greatest moment in history, The Crux of time!  the exact center point in time, everything up to this point was pointing to him, and everything after has been because of him.Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for your bride,your body, your brothers and sisters,your children. Thank you for giving us new life so that we may worship and glorify you and magnify your name forever and ever. Amen.

Soli Deo Gloria.
