Easter Message

The Table of the Remnant

 

"I am thinking about Jesus. I'm thinking about the time of His crucifixion, how everyone had denied Him. Everyone was turned away, afraid. He was so come against and then He was murdered. And we, all of us, were there because we, collectively we, all of us who have chosen sin, there isn't one, not one among us, among all of us created by God in His image, there is not one among us who did not participate in the sin that murdered Him, the sin that swallowed Him up and consumed Him like the cracker that you put in your mouth, and He's consumed. Not one of us didn't participate. We all stood there when the sky turned black and when the Living Eternal One gave up His life. And we were all there because we all put our sin into Him as nails in His wrists and His feet. And we all did it, and then afterwards the blood that came out was given as a gift.

 

We owe and we owe and we owe. All the love we can muster, all the love we have in us. And there should be nothing in the way of Him, nothing. All we like sheep have gone astray, everyone turned to his own way. But Jesus comes to save us. Jesus speaks and says, "Come, come, and reconcile yourselves to Me. I am the door to reconciliation, I am the door to restoration. I am the door between you and the Father."

 

And let this generation shout from the housetops. Let there be a light in the city on the hill, and let us see ourselves at the cross. Not just nailing our sin into Him, but bowing before Him, blood-covered, and live our lives accordingly.
