The Alien the Widow & The Orphan |Immigration

Two things I will be addressing here. Please read to the end before making up your mind about this suddenly hot topic which has been brought to the political forefront and IS NOTpolitical and should never be politicized.

LEVITICUS 19_The Alien, Widow & Orphan.png

Leviticus chapter 19 verses 33-34

Everyone is talking about what’s going on with the immigration problem that we have.
Scriptures tell us from the beginning that God tells the Israelites they are not to take advantage of three groups of people.

God doesn’t make a distinction of ethnicity or color or how wealthy one is in order to take care of the person.

God’s only provision is this:
Do not forget:
1. The Aliens
2. The Orphans
3. The Widows

DEUt 24_The Alien, Widow & Orphan.png

Deuteronomy chapter 24 verses 19-22 

I. What I am saying and what we must do as Christians:

— All of the above groups are to be taken care of.

— It is shameful that political leaders and news media are using this horrible and imperfect law to push their agendas.

— I don’t care much for politicians and news media outlets. They have dug their own graves with the public because they are no longer viable sources who speak the truth.

— I am only speaking to those who profess to be Christians. If you call yourself a Christian, then you must, and I repeat this, m.u.s.t., follow God’s commands over any law that will contradict His statutes.

— Taking care of the alien(foreigner), the widow and the orphan is a statute to all mankind and not just what you think is right or wrong.
— We have a problem in making aliens orphans. And we know what God says to do to those two groups.

— It’s time as Christians, not whether you lean Left or Right, to come together and take care of the unborn, the kids of incarcerated parents, the alien kids and the rest of the orphans. And this should not be a question in our minds.

— Why? Because just like the Israelites, all of us including the native Americans, which I have native blood running through my veins, migrated at some point to this beautiful land we call home.

II. Now what I am not saying:
— I am not assuming for our country to keep allowing people just to get here. If we do this, we will soon be financially ruined.
— I am not saying to allow the continued infiltration of criminals who want to cause harm to our society.
— I do not want people from any other country who want to escape their awful situation and try to change the laws and Constitution of my United States.
— If you come here, don’t expect a permanent handout. But assume that if you work hard, you will reap the rewards afforded to any citizen who wants to work hard and live in peace with others.
— Do expect to help someone in need without wanting and forcing the government to help out.
Because the Bible tells us we are to work hard with our hands, be in peace with others, help the alien, widow and the orphan.
Right now, there are thousands of foster kids, alien kids and unborn kids that need our help.

It is neither a Democratic or Republican problem but a Christian problem.
Go out and do what is right, just and will glorify our Lord and Savior.

What are your Giants? Go Slay Them- The Lord is with you!

“”…..10 I am eighty-five years old today. 11″I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in. 12″Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim (Giants) were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken.”…””

Trials Come & Go~ Eternity is Forever |Monday Prayer

 

Mark 11_24.png

 

…Lord, my prayer is for me to be entirely healed from the lungs, heart and stomach area. I believe this because you say it to be true.
Not because I am anything but because you are everything. Not because I am worthy or sinless but because You are righteous and merciful. Not because of anything I have done for you but because of your everlasting love and compassion for me. You are worthy oh Lord, You are all-powerful, all-knowing and eternal. Lord, I lift my prayers up to You because You are the only one that can answer them. Jesus, Your Son is the Great Healer, and Your Spirit comforts me. What else do I need but to praise and thank you for everything that You have done in my life.
Healer and Redeemer, thank you for allowing me to commune with You. To walk and listen to You. Help me to hear what You say and truly listen to You. To be guided by You and to be filled by You so that I too can be on the same page as Your Spirit when He is hearkening to me to do something…

The above prayer was from my journal a few years ago. I wrote it so that I would be reminded of God’s unending love for us. I also wrote it as a prayer of hope and encouragement. Time and time again, God tells us to trust Him unconditionally. Because He protects us unconditionally. He is above every problem we face and is the ultimate solutions for everything natural and supernatural.

Today, if you feel that your health is failing, or that the circumstances in life are overwhelming your total being, trust in the Lord with all your hearts and do not lean on your own understanding.

He will take care of your health, finances or emotional problems happening in your life. It may not happen instantly or all at once, but in His perfect timing.
All He asks is for you to commit yourself to His Son Jesus and to ask Him to forgive you of your sins. It doesn’t matter what you have done unto until this very moment. What matters is that you put your trust in Jesus who has paid the ultimate price for you by dying on the cross almost 2,000 years ago.
What matters is right now, not the past, and what you do from this point on. Don’t wait, Jesus is there for you. Ask Him to forgive you for all the wrong things that you have done, no matter how horrible you think they are.
Ask Jesus to heal you of all the things that people have to you, no matter how vile they may be. You will see that His love for you is impossible to understand because Jesus will give you peace beyond what you could fathom.

Just do it, he will take care of the rest. He may not heal you instantly, He may not fix your circumstances right away, but He will give you peace through the storms of life. He will, in the long run, heal your whole being. Eternity is what matters. Eternity is your ultimate goal.

Banning the Bible-Futile Indeed |First Amendment Threatened

Article [I] (Amendment 1 – Freedom of expression and religion) 13
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The above is a direct quote of our sacred Constitution. I say scared because these rights are God-given and not man-given. There are men that have tried taking the common man’s rights which has caused great and terrible havoc on humanity.

This month we in California have seen the incredibly ignorant way the governor has been stripping away the right of all the people. In his warped mind he thinks he is helping out the little guys. But he and the rest of the leaders cannot see past their noses. In adding more foolish laws like this California AB2943 and making it sound like it’s a great idea.

Here are the reason why this bill and any other bill like this is wrong:

~ First off– I oppose any addition to any laws that take away rights in order to stop people from their God-given Faith and free speech. Leave it to California to try to do something like this.

~ Secondly, I oppose this type of bullying not just because I am a Christian pastor but as a citizen, husband, father and grandfather. This bill is horribly shortsighted and does nothing for the First Amendment.  Banning the Bible is futile

∼ Thirdly, by trying to stop a group of people from “hurting” another group, Jerry Brown is doing the same exact thing that he is “trying to fix” and that to me is foolish and shortsighted.

~ Fourthly, anytime you start taking away God-given rights, you start on a very slippery slope.

A slope that ends up with Hitler, Lenin, Stalin and Mao types. Just those good “humanitarian” men I’ve just mentioned, are responsible for killing roughly 132 million people.

This is a considerable number killed by men who had great intentions but little by little, took away people’s rights, until they were the all-powerful dictators we know them to be.

To Christians, it is time to wake up from the comfy slumber we are in! What must we do?

  1. Wake up from the slumber!
  2. Pray and fast for California, and our country.
  3. Pray for those lost souls in leadership.
  4. For all to come to the full knowledge of our Lord and Savior.
  5. Do something. Being saved is a verb…it takes action. A call to Christian action! (Click on this link )
  6. Pass the information on to others.

Time to Step Up |Home Missions |StayMissions

“8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”– Book of Acts chapter 1 verse 8. Berean Study Bible

 

This is to all my Christian brethren. I include myself in this. The need is urgent. The time is now:

There are Staycations, now as Christians we must do StayMissions.  Our country is in a mess because we have imploded as a church. We were to go to the ends of the earth to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations. But we were supposed to start at home, then our city, then our state and country. After this, we were to go all over the world.

Home missions.png

I live in California and this state is a horrible mess spiritually.  I have started praying and fasting for our city and state. I would ask that you lift up your home town and state. Also could you add California to your prayers please?The leadership in charge has become anti-christian. But I know how the story ends and am not worried.

We are to preach the gospel in full. Not just the feel good stuff but the full counsel of God. We, are not to be afraid and we must follow God first and then men. This means that God’s Law supersedes any man-made laws which contradict our faith. This is the reason for my urgency in sharing Christ’s love in my immediate area of residence.

I ask you to prayerfully consider making in home missions or as I am calling it StayMissions in your area. This could be in nursing and convalescent homes, homeless shelters, orphanages in your area jails, hospitals etc. The list is endless and the rewards are worth it…

A land flowing with milk but no honey please! |Resurrection Sunday 2017

…9 as unknown, yet well-known; dying, and yet we live on; punished, yet not killed; 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 

Paul’s 2nd Letter to the Church in Corinth Berean Study Bible

It is Resurrection Sunday. Today we usually get up early enough to go to the Sunrise service and celebrate Christ’s triumph over death and sin.
I want to talk about what has happened for the last two Resurrection Sunday’s. We have had visitors migrating into our property. They fly in swarms, looking for a place to make their own. Last year we called the beekeeper. And we’ve had to do this again this year. Last year came as a total surprise when our neighbors called to tell us that there was a swarm of bees in our property. This year we knew what to do and called the beekeeper as soon as we saw a few of the scouts buzzing around our yard.

FullSizeRender-1.jpg
Swarm of Bees

I was sulking about the fact that for the first time in a very long time, we were unable to go to any service for Resurrection Day. We’ve gone to Sonrise service since our adult kids could remember.
The bee swarm sank all hopes of going to any service. Our get-together was harshly interrupted by the swarm and an emergency in the family. All of us felt an emptiness we could not shake.
The crazy thing about this is, that during our Seder-Marriage Supper of the Lamb Rehearsal (as I am calling what we had in our Bible study) I spoke about the haste in which the Israelites prepared their food during their first Passover.
The Israelites would have to remember the slave to freedom period for all eternity. I correlated this with the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus on the cross and how the times of the Temple sacrifices were precisely done during the same time that Jesus hung on the cross. There are no coincidences in His perfect timing.
I was standing guard outside, making sure people passing by on the sidewalk would stay away from the bee swarm. Alone, and at a low point this year, and I was feeling sorry for myself. You see, like the Israelites, we had to leave the house when we saw a few bees enter the bathroom window.
We had our kids and our grandkids with us. I didn’t want anyone getting stung by the bees. So we left all our food, drinks and festivities in haste! I told my wife and kids to leave the house for safer pastures. I would remain behind to stand guard and make sure people knew there was a bee swarm close to the sidewalk. Now I understand why The Lord had me here on this extraordinary day.
My Jewish neighbors were walking to their synagogues with their families. I had to warn them not to get too close. The day gave me a chance to warmly say, “hello” to them and explain why they had to be careful It gave me an opportunity to tell them that I was unable to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and I also wished them a blessed Passover.
They were warm and interested in my explanation and what I was having the beekeeper do to relocate the swarm.
This past Sunday was The Lord’s perfect timing. My Orthodox Jewish neighbors walked through like they always do on Friday nights. Sunday just happened to be Easter and Passover. The Lord had me there so I could be a sweet-smelling aroma to those that don’t know the incredible love of Jesus. The sacrifice He made as the Paschal Lamb of God who took in all of humanity’s sins on the cross and nailed them once and for all. Like Passover, God has the cross as a permanent reminder for us to look up at the lifted Savior who gave His life so that we would all one day be Risen after death.
I am share my joy and peace, even when my house is literally swarmed with thousands of enemies that could have made me murmur and complain like the Israelites when they had to leave in haste during that first Passover.

IMG_3697.PNG
End of His perfect Day #Resurrection Day

I did not complain because Christ is in me. He lives in me, and I have to share Him during the good and bad times. As I pass through this wilderness while waiting to finally get to the real land flowing with milk and I have to say it, yes, honey! He has Risen! He is Risen indeed!
P.S. Another blessing in disguise, had we gone to services and then to a family gathering, we would have had the bees all over the house. That would have been a bad Easter stinger!

Husband Essentials | Men of God Series

…24 The LORD bless you, and keep you; 25 The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; 26 The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’…
Numbers chapter 6 verses 24-26 NASB

There are a few essential things that men must do as husbands and dads. The most important thing is to pray for his family.

If a man can’t pray over his wife and children before they go to bed like the above prayer, he has already lost the battle for the next day.
You see, as men, there are things that we must do. The Lord makes this very clear. We are to love our wives and as an extension, our children. As husbands, we are to love them enough to die for them.
One of the most critical and essential things that we must do before any physical or emotional priority is to pray for our wives and our kids.  You see, the enemy has been working overtime these last few decades.

It seems that the family is under attack at an alarming speed. Satan and his minions have systematically dismantled the family structure, and the effects will be long-term. These effects are some of the most severe society has seen in history.

If you don’t believe me, look at civilizations and empires where the family was divided in such a way as our modern Western culture. They did not survive and neither will we if we don’t get back to Biblical essentials, or basics.
The first essential is Prayer. We pray when we commit to Christ. We pray when even before knowing our Lord and Savior. It is a human trait that is ingrained in our spirit even when our faith is not there or is very weak. We must pray for our wives and children for:
~ For Blessings, as in above verse in Numbers 6:24-26
~ For Protection This means that we will pray for our family and have them protected by the most powerful way we know, The Lord’s protection.

https://kcdn.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/psalm-91.jpgPsalm 91 as a whole but specifically verse 15 tells us that we can call upon God and He will answer us and will be with us through our troubles and from the terrors of the night or through what we would call dark times. But the entire Psalm is of God protecting us like a great Eagle protects its young.
~For Strength– We must pray for our wives and kids to be strong in the Lord. That they not tremble or be dismayed by anything that this life sends their way. Why? Because the Lord is with them. There is nothing the enemy can do to them.
~ For knowing the will of God and His desire for their lives.
We have been called according to His purpose, and that in itself is comforting. Because once we know He has our best interests, we can move forward from whatever trench we are stuck in. We may be weak, and we may fail, but He will always come to our rescue.

The last thing is the most important for all of us, especially the men, So goes the father, so goes the family. A weak father makes a weak and divided family. There is nothing greater for a man to give his family than eternal life.

All this is useless if we don’t know who God is. So I invite you to get to know Him as I know Him. Take the first steps to making your family secure their eternal lives. Throw the first lifesaver over into the dark and perilous waters….and grab the first one yourself. Then go and save your family….

No Policy Formed Against Little Ones Shall Prevail |Immigration

Screen Shot 2018-06-20 at 1.43.06 PM.png

I find it pretty interesting that Christians are being divided by the immigration concerns that are plaguing our country this week.

My fellow brothers & sisters in Christ, this should never be! We are told to obey the laws of the land and the people running it.

But when it comes to common sense and what is moral, we should always obey God’s Law before Man made laws. This is one instance where we God supersedes any country’s laws.

But I have a few slides for Christians to really chew on.

If you find yourself mad at your government:

Screen Shot 2018-06-20 at 1.51.17 PM.png

We can’t be the world’s bread basket anymore. We need to take care of our people. I am of Mexican descent.When I was 18, I wanted to play soccer for the biggest university in Mexico.

The admissions counselor told me straight out, that their home-grown kids were priority over me. You didn’t find me crying in a corner nor was I screaming like a lunatic to get my way. I didn’t sit and protest that my rights were violated. And I sure didn’t take a knee because I was feeling victimized.

At 18 years of age, I said ‘forget you‘ to the counselor and walked out of that office. The next day I was coming back here. Was I dejected and angry? Yes, but I resolved to go where I was wanted. I didn’t complain about my treatment by the Mexicans. My sister went through something similar trying to get a job over there. Since she’s a citizen of the US, they told her the same thing, Mexican citizens took priority.

Now for those that I am calling the Christian deflecters. Deflectors try to justify a wrong by another wrong. An example would be like what we are hearing:

  1. US Citizens in prison have to be taken away from their kids.
  2. Veterans kids are also ripped from their parents when the one or both parents serving have to go overseas.
  3. Orphans in this country need the same benefits afforded to the illegal ones.

All very valid points. But the problem is still there. You have just justified one horrendous act for another gut wrenching one. You have also not shown pity for the kids being held in cages, like little animals. This is not what Christ would do nor is it something you would do to your neighbor’s kids. So why is it alright to do to those that are not from this country?

Screen Shot 2018-06-20 at 1.36.52 PM.png

What part of what God tells us to do are you not getting? This country is the City on a Hill. It is a lamp that cannot be hidden away. God has blessed us too much for us to try to justify any wrong policies we have in place.

What is it to walk with God?

Screen Shot 2018-06-20 at 1.43.06 PM.png

  1. Those kids crossing by themselves are already in fear. Some of those little ones have seen horrible things. As a human being do you really want to add more to their nightmarish travel?
  2.  We as Christians need to stay filled by the Spirit so that we don’t get tainted by the blackness of this sinful world. 
  3. We are the bread basket to those that need it.Not the Government.
  4. If you fall into the political trap, you are being played by satan. 

God wants us to stay unpolluted so that we can see the world for what is. A dark veil that is blinding people with hatred.

Screen Shot 2018-06-20 at 1.42.49 PM.png

Just in case you are saying to me that God commanded only the Israelites to follow those commands. Jesus said this in one of his famous parables.

To all Christians, including myself, time to act in unity, and fellowship. When we see a policy that is a lie from the pit of hell, act on it. Don’t defend it and hide behind the,”Well bro, we have to follow all of the laws and submit,” excuse. Do what is right and what glorifies your Savior.

Imagine if Jesus would have said,”Father, I am not drinking from this cup You gave Me. It is too much and your Word says specifically that Your people are stiff-necked and wicked. I think they should all get what they deserve, don’t You?”

.. What a terrible thought that would be, if our Savior rejected us….

We must be the hands and feet. We must be God’s eyes…We must have God’s heart. It is up to us and not Leadership.

The Beautiful Game |Russia 2018 World Cup

Today I want time to talk about something that happens only every four years. With worldwide hypnotizing effect in every corner of the globe… and why my wife will be a Football (Soccer) Widow for the next four weeks…

When I was a kid, I played every sport that I got my hands and feet on. It started out in kindergarten when I realized that all the different balls weren’t for the same sports.

Although I used my basketball for Soccer. I played Pee Wee and 1 year of little league but I was at second base and couldn’t stand the fact that only two payers were having all the fun. I started concentration on American Football, Basketball and as the rest of the world calls it, The Beautiful Game of Football, Futbol, Futebol, Fußball, or what we here in the States call Soccer. Either name is okay since soccer is the oldest name for Football everywhere else.

Kaká courtesy of faithcases.blogspot.com

Of those, basketball and Soccer were the sports I fell in love with. Why? Because this overactive kid and his brothers were too hyper for anything less. (We later started playing Sandlot style baseball, and that was fun. The organized little league was way to slow for all the neighborhood kids.)

I would play soccer year-round with my dad’s teams. I would go from school to soccer, to homework and then outside to play basketball until my mom would call us in to eat and to go to sleep. That was my life throughout my childhood and late teens. Now let me back up a little bit and explain why I love The Beautiful Game of Soccer:

It was 1970, and that is when I realized how colossal soccer was throughout the world.
I saw the beautiful game played by magicians floating passes to each other with delicate pinball style quickness. I was enthralled by players with names like Pele, Carlos Alberto, Rivelino, Gerson, and Tostao.

Pele Goals: Watch The Best Of Them And Find Out Just How ...

They made the beautiful game look well, beautiful.

From that moment, I wanted to touch, pass and kick the ball with the same rhythmic Samba-like movements that I have seen from the original team and from the future Brazilian teams that made me fall in love with the beautiful game even more.

They weren’t the only ones that made me dream big dreams. The Dutch teams of Johan Cruyff and the German teams of Franz Beckenbauer were different in style and power but taught me how to play total football.

Now I jump to this World Cup. It is Russia 2018. Thirty-two teams have made it to the cup. It is the only legitimate World Cup. There are more teams trying to qualify for the World Cup (over 208) than there are countries listed in the United Nations (193). How that works is beyond my scope of thought.

This is why I love the Beautiful Game. The thirty-two teams who will be vying for the most coveted trophy in the world of sport, have survived the grueling process of just getting to the tournament. These are the best of the best for the past four years. Why four years, because the process to qualify is that tough.

My wife already knows what will happen starting tomorrow. When the first game begins, she, along with millions of other wives will be World Cup Widows.

This phenomena occurs every four years and is globally widespread. All I can say is that I have a very understanding wife. Because this Thursday, I will leave everything behind to be captivated and in the moments, for the next four week period. The moments in time when the most beautiful game in the world will make people dream big while awake and rooting for their country. This beautiful game will also have people dreaming of World Cups past and new legends being made with names like Messi, Iniesta, Ronaldo, and Neymar.

Now to get myself psyched up for tomorrow…and the next four weeks…

The Only Peace that Appeases | Peace With God |Suicide is not the answer

 

“14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.…” ~ Jesus         

Berean Study Bible

When I hear of a Christian passing on, I feel for their family and pray for them. I know that one day I will see them again. But when I hear of a non-believer passing on, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, because I know that they will never see what we believers will see! When a Christian closes his or her eyes for the last time in this life, they enter into an incredible and profound spiritual consciousness that only comes from a relationship with Jesus. This is what the Bible says will happen to those who put their trust in the only Savior of the world.

I know that some will read this and say that it is not possible to have only one way to heaven. I will answer this in another post. For now, I genuinely want to keep on the subject that impacted me the most this weekend.

I wrote the following on June 8, 2018, and then decided to write more in-depth into this tragedy.

…One thing I know, Anthony Bourdain was a brilliant writer who rivaled the best of writers… and I will miss his wittiness and deep thoughts in everything he set his mind to write about….

The tragedy of suicide and the effects it has on loved ones left behind. The first thing I thought of was about his family. All those left behind who are going to miss him. The second thing I thought of was the fact that another person committed suicide within a few days of another ‘famous’ person’s. As Christians, we are to be the light of the world to all those in darkness.

I cannot wait for the day when there is no more suicide or death. I can’t wait for that day because too many people are so thick in the darkness of despair, hopelessness, addiction, loneliness and worse off, without anyone to talk to.

Whoever is reading this, know that God loves you unconditionally and for eternity. That whatever is going on in your thoughts, Jesus can guide you through the maze of confusion and despair.

He is Here.png

Also know that you are not alone if you are looking for comfort in:

~ Alcohol and Drugs will not because these are only physical and temporary relief to the cause.

~ A relationship with somebody is only temporary happiness. Since it may satisfy your mind and body but If you are not in total balance, this too will only leave you craving for a more genuine relationship.

~ A great job with lots of money won’t do it either. Just ask all those that have ‘Made it’ in life. They may be successful, but most are lonely at the top. Their insatiable search for meaning is still there.

~ Traveling the world looking for yourself and finding nothing is not the answer either.

~ Getting into shape won’t help either.

~ Going to counseling is very helpful, but that will not help your spirit, who is crying out for something better in this life.

All the above will certainly help you become a better person, but this will not make you feel better spiritually.

Most people will work on getting better physically. Some will strive for better physical and mental health. Again, these are good things. The most important thing for people to improve on is their spiritual health.

I am not talking about trying to be a better person, although this is a good thing. Nor am I saying that you should leave all your worldly possessions behind and give it to the poor. Again, this would be great if you could do it but that would leave you broke and in dire need of help yourself. Plus, that’s not what God wants from people.

~~ Only God and His saving grace can heal what is really hurting. It is not your mental thinking or your body being weak.

It is a deeper issue that no one wants to talk about now in society. It is the issue of the spirit. It is only when you fix the spirit and bring it into balance with God, the Creator of the universe that you will feel satisfied. 

God knows us all intimately and wants us to get to know Him personally. Once we ask Him to come into our lives and do a great work in our spirits, we can finally rest in the only peace that appeases the spirit.

~ If you’re reading this and you do not know the peace that only Jesus can bring into your heart and mind, do not wait, ask Jesus to take all the bad stuff that is in your mind and make it His own.

~ The Bible tells us that we are not beyond redemption. That God loves us that He sent his son Jesus to die a horrible death.

You see, it was my sins and all my wrongdoings that caused a war between my mind my body and my spirit. That war kept me from having a healthy and deep relationship with others. That war kept me from having balance in my life. The battles that were blowing in my mind and heart were too much for me until I realized that there was a God who loves me so much, who decided to humble himself and take on a lesser role by coming down to earth.

Now get this, that The most powerful Being in the universe would pause everything He was doing, become a baby so that someone could feed, clothe, and clean Him, is the most my mind-boggling thing. The Creator of the universe would make Himself a human being, die a horrible death for my sins and revive Himself three days later! Just for me! And just for you!
That’s how much God loves you personally. Get to know Him. Get to know Jesus, who has paid the price for me…and for you. 

Ask yourself this, if Jesus went to the trouble of doing all this for you, don’t you think you owe yourself some time to get to know Him better? What would you lose? Do it now! Get to know Him in a personal way.
