New Bodies

Jesus told them, "the sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age (eternity) and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry or are given in marriage. For they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection. Luke 20:34-36

Ever wondered about this?

The book of Revelation also says there will be no more crying, no more sickness.

If you are attached to your mate you might find it hard to believe you will no longer be married, however I am sure the time you have spent with each other on earth will make you eternally good buddies and if it has not been so good, when you are in the Lord's presence the things that bugged you here you will understand there.

I imagine there will be a lot of catching up and understanding in the Light. Jesus has a way of illuminating things we do not fathom or understand.

I have had a dear friend die and I am looking forward to see him in eternity for he died horribly with cancer. To see this man in his new body will be great and to see him now that He has spent time in the Lord's presence and had all the kinks ironed out will be greater.

All questions will be answered for those who love The Lord and walk according to His promise.

The Samaritans did not believe in eternity.
How sad! How sad there will be many who miss a glorious opportunity all because if unbelief!

Personally I am looking forward to forever.

By the way the phrase: 'those who are counted worthy' just means those who accept Christ as their Saviour. You do not have to earn eternity with works just faith.

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
