Are you saved? Jesus is the door to heaven. Have you come to this door? The Gospel is preached to announce to mankind the door to salvation and it is found in a person the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation

Luke 13:22 “22 And he went through one city and village after another, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.23 And one said to him, Sir, [are] such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,24 Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.”

John 10:9 “9 I am the door: if any one enter in by me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and shall find pasture.”

There is much uncertainty and unrest in the world today. In the Gospel we proclaim good news to mankind because in the person of the Lord Jesus we have a place of refuge. Jesus is a refuge for the sinner. He came into the world to save sinners and bring you salvation from your sins. Have you come to Jesus for refuge?

 

Psalms 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.”

Isaiah 28:14-16 “14 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.15 For ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol have we made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.16 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste.”

Hebrews 6:17-20 “17 Wherein God, willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose, intervened by an oath,18 that by two unchangeable things, in which [it was] impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,19 which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil,20 where Jesus is entered as forerunner for us, become for ever a high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.”

We all face many storms and challenges in our lives. Each day that passes is more uncertain but the Bible tells that through all the storms of life God has provided an anchor for the soul in the person of the Lord Jesus.

Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation 

Acts 27:1-2 “27 But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus’ company.2 And going on board a ship of Adramyttium”

Acts 27:13-25 “13 And [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.14 But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.15 And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven [before it].16 But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;

17 which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.18 But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,19 and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.20 And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.

21 And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.22 And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.23 For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,

24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.25 Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.”

Acts 27:39-44 “39 And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;40 and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

41 And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.42 And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.

43 But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;44 and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.”

Acts 28:1 “28 And when we got safe [to land] we then knew that the island was called Melita.”

Hebrews 7:18-20 “we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,19 which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil,

20 where Jesus is entered as forerunner for us”

19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)20 for *our* commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,21 who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.”

Luke 15:20-30 “20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;

23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.25 And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.26 And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.

28 But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.29 But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:30 but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.”

Exodus 15:22-27 “22 And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.23 And they came to Marah, and could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore the name of it was called Marah.24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25 And he cried to Jehovah; and Jehovah shewed him wood, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There he made for them a statute and an ordinance; and there he tested them.26 And he said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do what is right in his eyes, and incline thine ears to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the complaints upon thee that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who healeth thee.27 And they came to Elim; and twelve springs of water were there, and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.”

6 and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.7 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.”
