PASTOR'S CORNER

  Job 10:1-22 A well know psychologist William Moulton, surveyed three thousand people and asked the question “What do you have to live for?” 95% of those polled said they were enduring the present while they waited for the future. They were simply waiting for something to happen. Some were waiting for their children to grow up and leave the home. Some were waiting to take a long desired and well-earned trip to forget about the present. Some were waiting for another year to begin to start over. Many of them polled said “They were waiting to die.” What is sad about some of these answers is this!  All these people who took the survey and answered were waiting for tomorrow without realizing that all they have is today.  What do I mean?  Yesterday is gone, and for many people tomorrow will never come.  We know this is to be true, look back to this past week; you don’t even have to go back to last month or last year. Just this past week alone!  For us as family

  Psalm 24:1-10 When Jesus cried out “It is finished” and yielded His spirit up to the Father. He was truly dead .  Meaning!  His spirit left His body and went to be with the Father, and the body (the shell of Jesus) left behind was a corpse.  He had no heartbeat, no brain waves, no blood pulsating through His veins.  Jesus was dead ….He died a literal death, just like what we see around every day.  Hebrews 2:14 we read “Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,” We need to understand….  Jesus had to be forsaken by the Nations and this world system.  Jesus had to take the place of the guilty (you and me, rebellious sinners).  Jesus had to be forsaken and abandoned by the Father, as He poured out the cup of wrath on His only begotten Son.  See Jesus had to say “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matt 27:46
