Born To Die So That You Might Live
I have been meditating on this message but before i preach it
next week i have to share this especially to my FACEBOOK
FRIENDS WHO MAY NOT BE BORN AGAIN!
The bible in Luke 2:12 says,"And this will be the sign to you:
You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a
manger...." c.f (Luke 2:67)
Have you ever wondered why the angel told the shepherds
that the Babe would be wrapped in swaddling cloths and lay in
a manger was a sign?
A manger is actually a feeding trough for livestock. You know
what a feeding trough looks like? It is basically a big
rectangular block of stone/wood with the trough hewn out of
it. So baby Jesus, who was wrapped in swaddling cloths, was
placed in such a trough.Leaving all the comfort and love the
father had for him to come and fulfill the scriptures just to set
you free.In death Jesus was wrapped again in the white
linen,the swaddling linen (Mark 15:43-46) Can you see the
similarities?
Wrapped in swaddling cloths and laid in a manger, baby
Jesus would one day be wrapped in linen and laid in a tomb.
That was the sign the angel was referring to. It pointed to
Jesus death.
Jesus was the only child in all of humanity born to die. Once
you realize that, you will realize how much God loves you.
You will realize that He gave up His Son for that one purpose,
and that His Son willingly came for that one purpose to die for
your sins and mine.
Can you imagine living your life knowing that you are just
qualifying yourself to die on the cross to save the world? That
was the life that Jesus lived. He lived to die, so that we might
live and enjoy life abundantly today!
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO REDEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO
GOD,THINGS DO HAPPEN BUT DONT LET CIRCUMSTANCES
FORCE YOU TO BE SAVED.THE TIME IS NOW.SEE,BELIEVE
,ACT AND RECEIVE CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR!
am here to help you if you are ready!
