ONE MAN DIED FOR EVERYONE!

"One man died for everyone.  That puts everyone in the same boat.  He included everyone in His death so that everyone could also be included in His life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own."  This statement, made in the book of 2 Corinthians,  is truth personified.  I, as a person perfectly imperfect, know of its truth.  Christ died for all men and for each person, individually.  Therefore, each person is qualified to be included in knowing and  carrying the life of Christ within him or herself; the resurrection of Christ after His burial personifying the new life available to us.  AND this new life carries the Spirit of our Lord.  We, then, live in the very Life of Jesus Christ and He in us. Simply put, God in us.

Sound like magic?  a trick of some sort?  mysterious? a great, big, fat lie? No, there is no lie or magic. Hard as it is to fathom, this Word is the absolute Truth as only God can perceive it. (Truth from God deserves a capital T, otherwise truth can wear a small t.) God is the only one who can perceive this Truth and the only one who can help us to find Truth.  God's Truth is to be respected, loved, worn in our hearts and minds, and fought for.  His Truth is everything!

For this reason, those who have accepted this Truth, have been asked to be a speaker for this Truth, a witness by their actions of this Truth, and a person who carries the Lord within his or her heart. And why not?  This man died  for me. He died that I might live. He died that the whole world might not die in self and vanities.

The world is like a finishing school for the next life.  It is a costly school, but perhaps by serving God here we will be better adapted to the next world when we die. (These are my thoughts; the Word of God does NOT suggest this!) The next world.....?  I dream of a life as shown in the Book of Revelation, but I expect we each shall know it some day in one way or the other.  I hope to see God in the next life, and I hope He will be glad to see me.

Don't forget that One Man who died for each of us!  He is pertinent to all that is good.

Keep smiling!  God is watching! Jo
