This past Sunday we received The holy spirit as Jesus ascended into heaven. We have been sent with the power of Gods Gold Spirit to preach the gospel to all lands. Jesus sent us (his apostles) to go and preach. We are to follow his Law through the spirit. The Spirit Comes and shows Us his almighty will.
Today in Religion as we are working away, someone asks me," Michael, What doe sit men when Jesus says 'The Hour as come when the Son of Man shall be glorified'? I started off with repeating what they asked without looking at the bible and then I said, " When Jesus was crucified, and at first many people were making fun of him for not coming down from the cross. But when Jesus Finally gave up his spirit when he knew everything was complete, there was a Earthquake and the curtain in the temple split. And at that moment is when Everyone believed that Jesus was really the Son of Man Because they didn't see it happen everyday an earthquake and the temple curtain splitting when they crucify somebody" And then they understood it.
Also, In religion, what did I learn? I learned about Death and Different places in the Bible that talk about Death. And one of the places That was on My paper was : Revelation 21:6-8. We had to write a sentence or two on how we would explain these stories to a Non christian. So from Revelation 21:6-8 it says:
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Revelation 21:6-8
And I'm not sure why, But this stuck out to me. He his the Alpha and the Omega: Beginning and End. He is the fountain of Holiness. And He will make our enemies burn in there second death because they did not believe. Faith In Jesus will allow us to be Resurrected on the last day; the Day of Life. A lot of stories in the bible explain this like in John 6:51-59 and 1 Thessalonians 4: 13-18.
We are to inherit things in the heavenly kingdom. The Single grain the drops into the soil, the bread of Life, Our Home. Jesus as gone to prepare a place for us. When he knows us completely; he will call us to eternal life. But if we however, Don't do his will and don't let him know us we will burn in the lake of Fire.
We are all God's adopted children through Baptism and Confirmation. We Belong to his family. He is our guide, our life wanting to know us. He wants to be the beginning of our life and the ending of our life. By The Holy Spirit, The tongues of Fire we Are Called to be his disciples and to preach to the non-Christians. We are called to pray for one another, we are called to serve God. God is always with us, even though we walk the rocky grounds of trouble/stress/ pain he will help us through it all the way.
