"Proof to Ponder"

"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." (Psalms 110:1)

 Not that I need to prove anything, because I don't; none of us need to prove that what the Bible says is true, it is not our job to try and convince anyone, that is the work of the Holy Spirit. We, on the other hand, need to be prepared to share God's love and let the Holy Spirit work on conviction and revelation. There are several really good movies on the proof of the resurrection of Christ. There is really no need to try and prove that it really happen, but if you wanted to assure anyone, just the fact that the disciples were killed for their testimony is proof enough. Who would be willing to die for a lie? I know that I wouldn't. If I knew something was a lie, it would stop me from being willing to die for it; wouldn't it you? It's not like the disciples were getting rich by spreading the Good News. They were outcast and being persecuted for their testimonies and for proclaiming the name of Jesus. We have it so easy here, we seldom face persecution for proclaiming Christ; at least not yet, not here in this country. Just pray that you are ready when Jesus comes back for His church. If you are not, then be prepared to face the decision of your life, because you will need to make that choice. Personally, I think we need to get the truth settled in our hearts right now, because if you don't accept it now, then it might be harder to accept it later, especially because your life will depend upon your choice...

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won't become weary and give up. After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin." (Hebrews 12:1-4) NLT
