Daily Devotional. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the Right Hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Hebrews 12:1-4. Christ, as The Son Of God, came to earth to take the Wrath of God, designed against man, upon Himself, that ALL (wo)men, who will choose to, can freely be Forgiven of their sins, and upon death, Be with Christ in Heaven, FOREVER. For Christ, as the Son Of God, He not only suffered the pain of the cross, BUT ALSO HAD ALL THE SINS OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD HEAPED UPON HIS SHOULDERS AS HE HUNG ON THE CROSS, FOR US, AS AN EXAMPLE FOR US TO KNOW, HE SURVIVED, SO CAN WE. And we won’t have any “sin weight” on us when we’re called Home. Through Death is the ONLY way we can proceed on to Heaven. No living man has ever “been TO heaven”, as some try to claim. A few of the Prophets have had glimpses OF Heaven, but never living and gone TO Heaven. Christ has described Heaven (through men) the way HE wants us to understand it, AND HE WILL ALLOW NO MAN TO CONTRADICT HIM WITH THEIR NOT-AGREEING DESCRIPTIONS OF THEIR PERVERSIONS OF WHAT THEY “SAW” ON ONE OF THEIR MANY AND LUCRATIVE $$$ TRIPS INTO HEAVEN. IT JUST HASN’T HAPPENED. What Christ says about Heaven is enough to Encourage us to “Keep the Faith” as we prepare for, through death, going to Heaven. Christ has “Paid our Way”, given us all the details we need to Desire to go there, and that’s enough, nothing else needed. Grab ahold of the Horns of the Alter and Rejoice for whatever plan Christ has for you to GREATLY, Be Blessed.
