THE CROSS IS CENTRAL TO CHRISTIANITY

God's blessings shall follow for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: THE CROSS IS CENTRAL TO CHRISTIANITY 

TEXT: LUKE 14:25-27  
SATURDAY JULY 8TH

Key verse: 1 Peter 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled. 
God calls Jesus, whom people despised, My righteous servant. This same Jesus that people spoke against, criticized, and cast stones upon. There was no iniquity or wickedness in Him, but why are they speaking against Him? Why were they talking evil and planning to do him evil constantly? This is the Founder of Christianity. The cross takes a central place in Christianity. You need to know this in case you are looking for ease. Your thought might be, why shouldn’t people praise me with all my goodness? I thought people should be clapping that I am not doing wickedness anymore and that I am now godly. What is happening to my spouse? 
That is the mystery of Christianity! You are not part of the evil in society or the lies in your workplace; you are not part of their corruption and embezzlement. You go to work early and you are diligent at your desk. You begin to wonder why they are aiming at you. Why is it that when they are thinking of who to retrench it is your name that comes first? Know that this is the life of a Christian in a society that hates light, truth, and anything righteous. If you don’t know it, you may easily get offended when you begin to face these challenges. Jesus said except a man drinks My blood and eats My flesh he has no portion in Me. This is His type of life you must share to have real eternal life in you. You are passing through some pains now, you are passing through some rejection now, you are passing through some persecution now, you should know that is the mark of Christianity which indicates that you are on the right way because your Master too went through that way. Jesus recommends the cross to everyone that wants to follow and serve Him. If your mind is to be on top, the greatest and honored in the society, you are not part of Jesus. If that is where your mind is then you have lost the vision of Christianity. 

Thought for the day: Suffering is part of Christianity. 

Song for the day: The old rugged cross 

Bible reading for the day: -Job 38-39; Acts 15:1-21

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
