Mockery of the Crucifixion

Matthew 27:

Blatant Mockery of the Crucifixion

Will not be unpunished

Matthew 27:29-31
And mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

Jesus' death on the Cross was never meant to be mocked by anyone. This is sickening, outrageous, despicable, passed being ungodly, it is devilish! To Christians, are you satisfied how your attitude has given the enemy carte blanche to mock the crucifixion? Hear what Mordecai said to Esther.
Esther 4:13-14 "Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
For if thou altogether hold thy peace at this time, then shall their enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knows whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
Christians, think about these words!

Do Not Forget the All-Mighty God
If we forget God, Satan will rule

Psalm 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
II Chronicles 14
And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

If God is no longer relevant in the lives of people, Satan will rule no matter who or what the situation may be. The Scripture clearly states that those who forget God will be turned to destruction. Satan's aim is to steal, kill, and to destroy, and he does not care how he does it or to whom: whether it is a nation or a church.
It is time for the churches to respond to the call in Joel 2:12-13, Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
How long will the church sit at ease while the enemy is deceiving the vulnerable and those seeking assurance in finding peace with God? God is merciful, and He will forgive. The church has been asleep while the enemy has brought destruction and ruin.

Who is on the Lord's side?

Philippians 3:
Enemies of the Cross of Jesus Christ
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

The Bible teaches all believers how we are to live in this world. It also gives us precepts to follow whereby we can live honestly, and uprightly as lights in this dark world of sin. Yet, there are preachers who deceive people who are living sinful lives by endorsing standards which are contrary to the word of God. For those preachers who refuse to face the reality concerning the truths of God's word, they will surely lead others along with themselves into destruction.
The Scriptures are clear concerning how true believers and followers of Christ ought to live (Romans 12:1-2; Luke 9:23; I Corinthians 5:9-13).
These are only some of the texts which give us guidelines concerning what the word says. The word of God has not, and will never change despite how defiant people behave. God will forever stand by His word which is and will always be true.

Why Should I Forgive?
Matthew 6:9-15, Genesis 13:1-10

We will find people in every organization, group, family, whatever the setting who hold power. Some receive a position because of association, family, trade or by whatever means. The problem with some of those who hold power is that they abuse their authority even though they have power. An individual may have power, but limited or no authority to exceed their power. Still, some would even dare to do so. They are in the church community, principalities, rulers, in high places, in all areas of government, family, and the work place. The problem at times is that those who do not understand the use of power, and even if they do, will blatantly abuse their boundaries. Let us bring to mind a few who are listed in the Bible:
*Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel 3-4. This man abused his power and in the end, he paid for it by humility and his acknowledgement of the only One and True God Who has ALL power.
*Jehoram who killed his brothers and paid the price for his murderous behaviour, II Chronicles 21:1-4 - God saw his evil deeds.
*Herod thought he could kill all the babies in his attempt to kill Jesus. Even as an adult, Herod planned to kill Jesus (Luke 13). Herod really thought himself to be mighty and powerful. While he spoke, God's vengeance was upon him (Acts 12:21-23).
So, you have power to act in any way you choose, and to abuse anyone whom you desire to harm. God is watching, and He has a day to respond to all those who abuse their power and authority. Which one of these persons do you represent?
Psalm 50:21, "These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thought that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

God's silence is not an indication of overlooking evil!

PERSECUTED BUT NOT FORSAKEN

Persecuted BUT not Forsaken

II Corinthians 4:8-11

This passage serves to remind believers that even though we will be or are persecuted, we are not forsaken. There are many believers in Christ who are being persecuted in multiple ways, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and so much more. Nevertheless, we are reminded that even as they hated Jesus, we too will be hated and mistreated. Let us all be encouraged to persevere and not lose heart. We still have a better home awaiting us even though our outer man perishes.
Brothers and sisters, let us be strong in the Lord. Know that He is with us in every situation, although it may not appear to be so. Jesus is with us and will never leave us alone (Joshua 1:9).

Persecuted, but not forsaken!

That I May Know Jesus

Philippians 3:10

Knowing Jesus should be uppermost in the mind of every believer. There is a difference in knowing Him, and knowing about Him. To know Him means going the way of the Cross. It begins with self-denial, presenting our bodies as living sacrifices before Him and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds. God wants the best out of us, and we must be willing to surrender to His will.

Do you want to know Jesus? Give your heart to Him today and He will come in and abide with you as you surrender to His will.
