The Calm Before The Storm :)

Remember when Jesus came?  So many wanted Him to fix THIS world.  The Romans were taxing the people unfairly (not to mention too heavily).  The people were greatly persecuted.  For many years, Mary and Joseph had to raise Jesus basically on the run for their lives. The rulers were rich; the people were poor.  Very poor.  The “people” lived in a time of despair and persecution.  And that is not even the worst of it!

Enter Jesus.  Some of the people thought that the “Savior” would “fix” the world on earth, but Jesus came to show us the way to Heaven.  To pay the price for our sins, so we would not have to.

But for some, that was not enough.  They wanted Jesus to “fix” their current world. And so, sadly, they rejected Jesus.

“Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.”-John 15:20

Flash forward to today’s world.  Jesus didn’t come to fix our current world either.  He came to show us the way to Heaven and to pay the price for our sins.  And Thank God He did ?

The road is about to get very bumpy for those who truly follow Christ.  But Jesus will be with us, loving and supporting us, through every minute.  Do not fear, for no power on this earth can take Heaven from us.
