I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
- Luke 2:6-7
We didn’t have room for you when you were born. We turned You away. Yet what do You do?
Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
- John 14:1-3
You forgive us and prepare a place for us so we may be together anyway.
Your love is amazing.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
The problem of Jesus is not a question of whether He actually existed.
Jesus is not a mythical character. He is a person well documented not only in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (these are the Christian accounts of His life together with information in numerous letters incorporated into the New Testament) but also in other religious and non-religious historical texts.
Many details of His life and His crucifixion on the cross by the Romans are widely accepted and agreed upon by historians today. Whether you believe in the Christian God or perhaps other Gods or even if you are an Atheist, Jesus is a person who can not be ignored as someone who walked the earth and had a significant impact on the world.
Of course, all human beings have to be born. And that is exactly what Christmas is all about - it is the celebration of the birth of this man, Jesus of Nazareth. It is worth reiterating that this is a real event that happened and is of great importance to Christians because of who Christians believe He is - so important that we still celebrate it today.
Which leads me onto the actual problem of Jesus.
For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
The Heart of Christmas
He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
Dear tumblr, implementing photo capture was a good move :)
Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much. But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.
The feeling of love can not be seen, rationalised nor measured - no one can actually prove love exists. Yet one would struggle to deny it’s existence based either on one’s own experience or the account of others.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
- 1 John 4:8
2 Corinthians 5:7
- Because not everything in life can be seen
Live by believing. Live by experiencing. Live by accepting.
This bible is only a month old - now when I read Revelation I have to hold it in a certain way or I will start losing pages!
