 UNIVERSAL SALVATION IN CHRIST

Isaiah 45:1-8

Verse 8 – “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.”


      The main focus of this passage is in the verse 8. 
Salvation was given to us when Jesus Christ sacrificed His life on the cross for our sins. Universal Salvation is the reconciliation between God and the sinful humans of this world. When we look at this specific verse in Isaiah, we can see that salvation will spring up from all parts of the earth. This verse is emphasizing the universality and inclusivity of the Salvation of God. Salvation is given to all who seek it and accept it. This passage is focusing solely on the power of God. From all these verses we can see the greatness of the Lord that we believe in. The Lord who has created the whole universe and who is almighty is also the same Lord who is by our side and gave His life for our salvation. 
Through salvation, we gain power, strength, riches, and forgiveness all from the Lord. This all will be given to us as a result of us accepting Christ and living a life that is pleasing to Him. On this day let us reflect and accept that perfect salvation of God, which has been given to us. 

Prayer
Dear Lord, thank you for graciously showering us with your amazing love and showing us your unconditional love through your sacrifice on the cross. Through that sacrifice, we were able to obtain salvation and we give you all the praise for this amazing act. Lord, we pray that you allow us to be living testimonies for you in this life and allow us to praise you in all facets for all that you have done for us. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen. 

Thought for the Day
Let us reflect on the amazing salvation that we have obtained from the death of Christ on the cross for our sins. Let us understand the importance of this act by Christ and let’s worship Him and praise Him in all ways.

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind wh...

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tel...

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things...
