JESUS our high priest!

Everyone has to die once, then face the consequences. Christ's death was also a one-time event, but it was a sacrifice that took care of sins forever. And so, when he next appears, the outcome for those eager to greet him is, precisely, salvation. Hebrews 9:27-28
This is from the Message Bible, I have been finding some real treasures as I look up scripture in the message Bible and read the same scripture sometimes eye opening news! Seems like we should know these things but sometimes just reading the scripture in a different translation is an eye opening experience! I am taking a bible course and also teaching Sunday school for youth. This has required me to search the Bible for more truths and study the Bible more. The bible class has been great as it is theology, teaching us how serious these writers & translators took what they were doing. It was no small thing to write the Bible. First of all it is the inspired HOLY WORD OF GOD!
Second, the fear then was much more real than our fear of GOD. We could use a little Holy fear in our lives, replacing the mundane, everyday, our little petty needs or wants, replaced by the real fear of GOD, who GOD is and that HE really does care that much about us. HE gave JESUS HIS only SON to send HIM to earth as a helpless baby, and then to die the cruelest death ever, death on the cross! BUT,,, that death gives us life, as our scripture indicates, and JESUS will be back to take us up to Heaven with HIM! Lets be ready!

JESUS BLESS YOU! Franklin Evelyn Mary & James
