Today's devotional reading for:
Monday, Mar 30, 2020 Beneath The Cross Of Jesus
“And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.”
— John 19:17–18
Did you know that the Jews have built a bus stop at the foot of Golgotha?
Bus after bus lines up there, waiting for passengers.
When a bus leaves, it passes right by the mouth of the “skull.”
Once I was standing near the bus stop with a church tour group, and I pointed out the features of the skull. As I did so, four or five people not associated with our group came to see what I was pointing at.
They couldn’t figure it out.
To them Golgotha meant absolutely nothing.
But it should mean something to all of us, because there all the ingredients came together for our salvation.
The first ingredient is humankind’s sin.
If people had never sinned, Christ wouldn’t have had to come to earth and die for us.
The second ingredient is God’s justice. God must punish sin because His eyes are too pure to look upon it.
If He didn’t punish it, He wouldn’t be God.
Combining humankind’s sin with God’s justice always and inevitably produces Hell.
Therefore, we need the third ingredient: the infinite, inexpressible unfathomable love of God.
The Creator’s love for His creation compelled Him to die for the creature’s sin. How vast is the love God has for you and me, past our ever understanding it.
Someone once said to a minister, “There are hundreds of religions in the world, and they all have their own ideas.
How do you know yours is right?” He replied.
“No, there are only two religions in the world.
They are either ‘do’ or ‘done.’
The other religions in the world teach that man will be saved by what he does: Do this and don’t do that.
But Christianity is the only religion that teaches ‘It is done.’
It is finished.”
Which religion do you trust for everlasting life?
Look toward Golgotha, where the three ingredients came together perfectly, providing for your salvation.
There Christ proclaimed, “It is finished.”
Thank God today for granting you eternal life because of what happened at the Place of the Skull.
“Beneath the cross of Jesus, I fain would take my stand,
A shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land, A home within the wilderness, a rest along the way From the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the day.” Frederick Maker | ||||||

Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
