Jesus said there would be signs prior to His second coming. He will not leave the world without an evidence that His time is close. Hear His statement, ” And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, AND UPON EARTH DISTRESS OF NATIONS, WITH PERPLEXITY, THE SEA AND THE WAVES ROARING. Luke 21:25 We have not yet seen the celestial, that is yet to come. However, we have suddenly become too well acquainted with the signs found in the ocean.

SEEING THE INVISIBLE. The Lord, who is the true God, while not seen, is made visible in many ways. The scripture states that, the invisible things of Him are clearly seen. Rom. 1:20 Now that sounds like a conundrum. Or could be considered to be contradictory. How can we possible see that which is invisible? We understand them by the things which He has created. Even finding in them an understanding of the very makeup and likeness of the Godhead. Incidentally, in the same verse where that statement is made, the declaration of the creation of the Lord leaves men with nothing whereby they can deny His existence.

1.The law of the land is used to establish an orderly conduct of life and association among the citizens of the country. The law is good inasmuch as it seeks to accomplish a life of peace among the people. Without law anarchy would reign. There is a law of the spirit of life to be found in the Lord Jesus which supersedes all law, in everything that is good. It will develop a code of righteous living for the present which becomes the key to eternal life.

JESUS WAS DELIVERED TO BE CRUCIFIED. The cross was an inevitable event in the life of Jesus. He had committed Himself to the predetermined will and counsel of the Godhead. Purposely and with deliberate planning Jesus came to this world, to be nailed to the tree. Only in eternity will we understand the enormity of this covenant made in eternity by the foreknowledge of God, for us. Acts 2:23

1. THE MOST AMAZING EVENT OF THE AGES. Christianity rejoices in the redemption which was purchased for us by the Lord Jesus. As always, it is the reason for the acquisition. The consummation of an act that is the crowing glory of the whole affair. In the case of Christ, it is His marriage and His Bride which is the glorious divine purpose of the whole of salvation. Spelled out for us and positively identified is the fact that in the giving of Himself as a sacrifice he was to obtain a church, a bride, a very special part of His eternal plan. Acts 20:28 There are certain criteria which are to be found in the gathering together of His bride. Paul notes that they are those who have been called to this high and holy position in Christ. Also that they are a sanctified group of saints. 1 Cor. 1:2 It must be remembered that the Lord has established several requisites in order for one to even find a place in Heaven and eternity with Him. One of those important imperatives is that of holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. That makes holiness to be of the utmost importance. Heb. 12:14

JESUS PRAYED TO HIS FATHER. This is the real prayer of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Jesus knew that the reason for His visitation to earth was quickly coming upon Him. He was about to become, factually, the Lamb of God. He said, “Father the hour is come.” John 17:1 All the Godlike emotions and the human emotions were brought into play in His life. He had been from everlasting. Now, He humbled Himself to be come a man. As a man He was about to suffer further humiliation by being crucified on the tree. An ignominious death reserved for hopeless criminals. He went to the very bottom, the depths of sin and despair that He might be able to rescue and redeem the guiltiest, the filthiest of sinners. He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9.

BETRAYED BY JUDAS. The name Judas or Judah means celebrate. Little did his parents know, when they named him, how celebrated he would become, as a traitor in the fullest degree. At a most sacred feast, the Passover, the act of betrayal, was set in motion. Jn. 13:1 Jesus, in a manifestation of humility, love and cleansing {not according to custom, but a spiritual act}, washed the feet of His disciples, even Judas. He then declared them clean. Judas, however was not cleansed. Jn. 13:10 Study this, there is a place for foot-washing in the body of Christ. Jesus set the example which was to be followed. Jn. 13:14-17 The sop, the bread, in the hands of the BREAD OF LIFE, handed to Judas became the moment of Satan entering into the life of the one who was to betray Jesus.  Jn. 13:26-27

THE PRE-CREATION POSITION OF CHRIST. True Deity is found only, in Jehovah, the true and living God. The Deity of Christ is in the manifestation of His glory. Before Jesus there was no God formed, or made of a substance which may be molded into shape. Isa. 43:10 As with all humanity, Christ was formed in the Womb of a human mother. Jesus, was so named before He was conceived in the womb of Mary. Not yet a human entity, He was declared to be Jesus, Joshua or Savior. Lk 2:21 As with all mankind, Jesus the man, was formed of God To become the one and only acceptable sacrifice for the redemption of man. Coming into this world, it is stated that Christ said, A body you have prepared for me. Heb. 10:5

9/11/01 will always be recorded as a day of infamy. A day when an unprecedented fear became a daily part of the life of multitudes. Suddenly, prayer became prevalent all over the nation, and rightly so.Confidence in the Lord will create calm and peace in the face of any adversity. Everyone is aware that things have changed. Life will never again be as free and as happy go lucky as before. Jesus spoke of the beginning of sorrows. Are we there? I think so.Not only do we need prayer but we need the WORD OF THE LORD to bolster our spirit and prepare us f
or the future. If the footmen have wearied us and caused us to faint, how will we contend with horses?
