PULLING US=INTO EVERLASTING LIFE

 

PULLING US=INTO EVERLASTING LIFE

 

Today=we read about

ANOTHER ONE

Of Jesus’ more difficult teachings

 

About HOW HARD it is

To enter through

THE NARROW GATE=into heaven

 

“Strive to enter

Through the NARROW GATE……..”                                                                                                Luke 13:24

 

Jesus tells us

That the GATE=to EVERLASTING LIFE=

Is not wide and spacious

 

IF that is true=

What are we to do?

 

First of all=

We must STAY CONNECTED

To the Holy Father

And to his Son=Jesus

 

And we must let go

Of things=particularly

The excessive desire=FOR MATERIAL THINGS

 

And we must try

And let go=of past fears-

Hurts-and anger

 

But we CAN still

Make it to HEAVEN

We can let OUR GOD

PULL US=INTO EVERLASTING LIFE!

 

For what is impossible

In this world=

IS POSSIBLE=with God and Jesus

 

“Jesus looked at them

And said=

‘With man=this is impossible

But with Gd=

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE’”                                                                                                    Matthew 19:26

 

“’If you can’=said Jesus

‘EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE

For the one=who believes’”                                                                                                            Mark 9:23

 

So there you have it

WE CAN

Still make it to Heaven

By staying=CONNECTED to God

And to Jesus

 

We can still

Enter the narrow gate

IF WE BELIEVE

 

We need to REMEMBER

That there is someone

Who HELPS US=squeeze through

The narrow gate

 

Jesus PULLS US INTO

EVERLASTING LIFE

Sometimes kicking and screaming

But he does it=nonetheless

BECAUSE HE LOVES US!

 

PULLING US=

INTO EVERLASTING LIFE!

 

“Stand up=

And praise the Lord=Your God

Who is from EVERLASTING

To EVERLASTING”                                                                                                                        Nehemiah 9:5

 

“Before the mountains=were born-

Or you brought forth

The whole world

 

FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING

You are God”                                                                                                                              Psalm 90:2

 

So whatever CHALLENGES

You are finding=In this life

 

STAY CLOSE=stay connected

To God the Holy Father

And to Jesus

 

They will be PULLING US=

INTO EVERLASTING LIFE

All things

ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVERLASTING LIVING Holy Father God!
