For they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God. John 12:43

Jesus provided many signs and wonders, he healed the sick, he gave the blind sight, he even resurrected the dead, however the religious leaders wouldn’t accept him as the Messiah (Christ) because they knew what this would mean!

If Jesus fulfilled The Law, if Jesus is our High Priest, if Jesus has torn the veil with God, then why do we still need religion? This is the issue the high priest had with Jesus, they loved their religion, they loved their positions of authority, they loved their traditions, so they can claim to be righteous.

He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. John 12:48

The religious leaders are trying to earn their salvation through works, however Jesus made it very clear, whoever rejects him is condemned! Nobody comes to the Father except through Christ (John 14:6) You can’t do it, no matter how great your intentions are, or no matter how holy you think you are, you can’t get to God through religion

The veil is torn, meaning you come to Christ directly and you are in the presence of God directly. You are the temple of God, the Holy Spirit dwells in you, your mediator and high priest is Jesus Christ, no man.

Stop trying to earn the approval of man and earning salvation through works, come to Jesus Christ and accept him as your Lord and God Amen!

Return, O faithless sons, I will heal your faithlessness.” “Behold, we come to You; For You are the LORD our God. Jeremiah 3:22

Throughout the Bible , God has continually had the same message “Return”! Throughout the Old Testament, even though Israel was blessed and the chosen people of God, they continually rebelled against God and even worshipped false idols.

Our Heavenly Father has endured a harsh relationship with his creation. No matter what God provides for us or shows us, its never enough! Humans are naturally wicked and greedy , we are never satisfied with the blessings given by God

for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate. Luke 15:24

Fast forward to today, even though humanity remains rebellious, God has had compassion on us. So much that he sent Jesus Christ, to pay the price for our sins! The atonement for our sins has been paid, so we can return to the Father white as snow

Just like the story of the Prodical Son, God is calling you home Return! Return! Says God

Maybe you have strayed very far away, God has a redemption plan for your life and his name is Jesus Christ! Return to your Heavenly Father Amen!

Has a nation changed gods When they were not gods? But My people have changed their glory For that which does not profit. Jeremiah 2:11

Israel has forgotten everything God has done for them during the Exodus, he provided them “Heavenly Manna” and “Living Water” in the desert when they had nothing. He kept them all from harm and getting ill, he even kept their clothes from wearing out. He fulfilled his promise of delivering them to the Promise Land (Israel) yet they total forgot

Israel began worshipping false idols and gods, they began practicing abominations and sorcery. What could these false gods provide for them that the true living God (Yahweh) hasn’t provided? As God says “they changed their glory for that which does not profit”!

How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10:29

Fast forward to Jesus and his Bride (Church) Have You forgotten everything Christ has done for You at the Cross? Yet we continue to live in the world , worship our false idols (musicians, actors, athletes), we make money our new god, we have trampled on the blood of Christ.

Just like Israel forgot what God did for them, don’t forget what God has done for You through Jesus Christ! Don’t insult the Holy Spirit by following Sin, flee from Evil and Satan, surrender to our Lord and God Jesus Amen!

They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:19

God called Jeremiah to preach to the people, but notice God didn’t say this was going to easy, God didn’t say this was going to be fun. God said “They will fight against You”. Notice God is not promising any prosperity for Jeremiah. God is telling Jeremiah get ready your going to be persecuted

However God makes a great promise “They will not overcome You”. Even though our task or battle may seem hopeless or scary, God is not going to allow us to be defeated! If its Gods will, then he will see it through. If we go and do our own will, then that’s a different story

You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. Mark 13:13

Jesus taught us the same thing, Everyone will hate us because of the name of Jesus. If you ever went out to talked or preached the gospel , you are going to face strong resistance. The world is Anti-Christ, the world has an agenda, the world doesn’t want anyone to be saved. So despite the resistance we must still preach the gospel so everyone has the opportunity to come to Christ

Notice Jesus promise to us “Those who endure will be Saved”  So even if your journey is difficult right now, even if your being persecuted Endure in Jesus Name Amen!
