I lived in the far corner of Northeastern Washington with my beautiful wife for 16 years, but now live in my home state of Wisconsin. God has blessed me tremendously and I am so thankful for His grace, and the people He has put in my life, and for His work in and around me.

Racisim

There is so much bitterness going on in the world today.  We have a history of racism in this country as well as many others.  It has been going on throughout the world probably since there were races.  Our country is struggling with this.  It has gotten tremendously better since several decades ago, but we still have work to do.  And racism is not the only problem.  Right now we see hatred on both sides toward and from most races.  We see people judging entire people groups because of what a few have done.  We see disrespect toward those who serve and try to make this country a better place.  We see people looking down on others because of their situation and others taking advantage of it and the system.  We see bitterness toward those who believe differently, whether it would be politically, religiously or what their opinions are about certain issues.  What are we to do?  What did Jesus have to say about this and what was His example?  It’s pretty simple, really.  Be kind, love others and treat each other right.  One parable comes to mind that tells us how we are to treat others.

Events of Jesus’ Resurrection

Jesus’ ministry did not stop at the cross.  In many ways it had just begun.  Christ said, “It is finished.”  Dying on the cross accomplished God’s goal.  But part of the victory is conquering death so that we may be raised into eternal life.  Without the resurrection, He was just another prophet.  But Jesus is more than that; He is our God, our Savior, our Lord.  He also had to prepare His disciples for their ministry.  And He revealed Himself to many.  One day He will return and reveal Himself to all.

Jesus’ Sacrifice and Glory in Isaiah

Long before Jesus came to this earth, there were prophesies throughout the Old Testament of His coming.  Many did not understand and many opposed Him.  But many believed and were redeemed through Him.  As we mentioned in the previous post, God had a plan for us through Christ.  And Jesus fulfilled scripture.  Isaiah 53 is just one example.

God’s Plan Through Jesus and the Cross

We have been discussing Jesus’ words on the cross.  God had a plan all along.  Jesus proclaimed that He accomplished it.  God spoke through Isaiah nearly 800 years earlier about this time.  Daniel mentions the coming of the Messiah over 400 years earlier and gives a specific date.  God’s message gave hope, and that hope was through Jesus Christ.
