THE MESSAGE

1 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV) 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, ... 
   In a recent documentary a person died in a remote mountain area, no trees grass or vegetation of any kind existed. Rocks covered everything, there was no place to bury the body, a sky burial was ordered and the deceased carried in ceremony to a hill, was left in the open to be consumed by birds. Every land has its culture and beliefs about death, it is the process of life, however not everyone has the hope of eternity that God is providing for His creation.
   God's eternal message is clear, live this life so that others recognize God in us. He is giving to man the way to eternity with Him, it is through His Son Jesus. John 11:26 (NKJV) "And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die."
   Many religions claim authority and insight into the spiritual dilemma we face with death. God gives man the ability to use this life in preparation for the next, what we do here affects where we will be in eternity. The most high God has made One way, through His Son, no other way or name is given. Acts 4:12
   Then why all the confusion, because God's message to most men is foolishness, and they will not look like a fool to others, even if it means an eternity of suffering. Living for God in this life is such a small price  to live eternally, in the life to come.
   Do you understand the message of the cross, have you received Jesus into your life, it is "foolishness to those who are perishing."
Heavenly Father help me to live so that others may see You. Let the breath you have put in us be used so others may find You. May all we do reflect You, so that anyone can find the way to You, by Your light. Let Your message resonate in this life, that others may hear and see You. Amen
