Hebrew Lesson #2

It has been a while since I posted any new Hebrew words. While looking for the pronunciation of a Greek word we wish to use for the name of our boat, I ran across this phrase. I hope you use it often!

Shalom Alechem...Barukh Hashem Y'shua!

(Peace and Blessings in Jesus' name!)

Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog!

I am so glad you stopped by!

What you will find here is my feeble attempt to convey my thoughts on the world we live in today and how it pertains to God's eternal purpose and will for all of us. I may ramble from time to time, but I hope I don't lose you as you travel down His pathway with me.

As we anxiously await our Savior's return, I hope you will come back often. Add my blog to your Favorites, bookmark it, or become a follower.

Thanks again for dropping by, and be sure and leave a note in "comments" to let me know you did.

In Christ,

Karen

The Gospel of Jesus Christ, simply put:

Because man has been at enmity with Him since Adam’s fall in the Garden of Eden, God required a blood sacrifice be made to atone for the sins brought upon all of mankind through Adam's disobedience and to provide a way to redeem mankind.

God the Father stepped out of eternity, laying aside his robe and crown, and into the world as a sinless human being.

God the Son, Jesus Christ, became the sacrificial Lamb who would take upon Himself the punishment for those sins... yours and mine.

Jesus was beaten and scourged, spat upon and reviled, then nailed to a cross - for your sins and mine. He died - for your sins and mine.

But three days later, Jesus rose back to life, forever defeating death and sin and, after presenting Himself as a testimony of His Divine act to the Apostles and over 500 others, He returned to His heavenly throne.

Through this selfless act, Jesus has provided sinful man a way back to God the Father and assurance of eternal life.

You, too, can have the salvation Jesus Christ secured for us by repenting of your sins and placing your faith and trust in Him as your Savior and your God.

Won't you take a moment to consider Jesus, what He willingly did for you, and the gift of salvation He is offering?

To Jesus Christ be the glory and the praise, both now and forevermore.

Maranatha!
