Summary: The devisions of a house and the answer as to ,Who was responsiable for the Death of Jesus?
A House Divided Jesus told the people that “ A house divided cannot stand “ That statement was true then and is true today, not only in our churches ,Nation , political system but also in our familys. A house divided will start to disintegrate, the family as a body and become a battle ground of ,accusation and words that become hurtful. As you have learned before ,the Bible gives us all the answers to all the questions of this life. So what is the answer to this problem ? First, you have to understand the question.What divides a House ? The answer is, politics, religion , sex , laws , rules, money and power. Lets take a look at the scripture and teachings that Jesus taught us. Matthew 10:34-37,10:21-22. “Think not that I come to send piece upon the earth: I came not to send piece, but a sword. “ The other side of Jesus , can you recognize the difference, to me there is no difference. The mission of Jesus, from the Father hadn’t changed, the people changed. Their hearts then as today started to become hardened and unacceptable to God and His will for their lives. “A mans worst enemies will be those of his own household.” There is a separation in the families today that was prophesied by Christ over 2,000 years ago, and there is nothing that we can do about it. Most Christians forget what the mission of Christ was all about, it was to enlighten mankind into the choices that he has in eternity. Divisions in the family will continue to grow because of the insurgence of unrightiouness in the schools and world. To understand prophecy , is to understand Jesus ,and what He was saying. In these end days the house of man will continue to fight among itself and continue to fall. Many people fight over who was responsible for the death of Jesus. Do you really want to know ? Would the answer, somehow, give you piece of mind or satisfaction on being able to say that you were right ? Ill give you an answer to that question, Who was it that was responsible , was it the, Romans , Jews , Gentiles or all of us ?., The answer that all have been avoiding and ignoring , is God. God was the responsible one. Need proof ? Ill give you the scriptures that prove it. John 19:10-11 , 3:16 , 5:30, 6:39 , 8:28., 14:26 , Gen 22:2-18 , Matthew 3:11, 10:40., Luke 22:42. God allowed man to kill the body, to preserve the spirit, for remember God is total, Spirit. God and Jesus, an the Holy Ghost, being a House together as One, could not be divided, so the responsibility of Jesus death, was Gods. Lets stop here for a moment an look a little deeper into the scripture , well go to John 19:10-11 , and the rest of the references you can look up later, all these ,plus others will show that this is true. “ If Satan cast out Satan, His kingdom shall not stand. “Jesus said this, didn’t He ? John 19:10-11,...Then said Pilate unto him, “Speakest thou not unto Me ? ,knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee , and have power to release thee ?” Jesus answered, “ Thou couldest have no power at all against me , except it were given thee from above{GOD} ; therefore He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin .” Here if you notice, as with the other scriptures that I have given you , proves that the responsibility of the death of Jesus belonged to God. Now a house divided , fits in perfectly here, because the Father, Son and Holy Ghost represents a House, {In my Fathers house, there are many mansions } and the decision to sacrifice the Son had to be unanimous between the three. Think about it. Now Jesus stated that ,if Satan cast out Satan, then how can his kingdom stand, the same applies now for if a man comes forward with the truth and be cast from the church, how then can the church stand., on the other hand if a church cast not out a man who is abominable to God and teaches not the truth, how can the church stand in the day of Judgment. {Light and Darkness } Remember that God will allow a false church to stand and will allow false preachers, teachers and doctrine to stand and even flourish , until the rapture and judgment. God does not and will not inter-fear with your decisions in this life. Those of you who are lost, here today, has your house become divided by , money , rules , respect , disobedience , lawlessness , or is there a battle over who runs the house , if your answer is yes to any of these questions, then your house is divided against itself and it will fall, physically, which is apparent, but most importantly, spiritually. That was the cause of the American Revolution, a House divided ,Divorce , Congregation-al breakup , Church failure , discontent and riots all the result of a House divided. Father against son, mother-in law against daughter in law, can this cycle be broken, not in its entirety, only selectively. You may ask, what do I mean? The scriptures will be fulfilled just as Christ gave it to us, but there is one scripture that gives certain applications that will save some households, “ If a man stand uprightly before me , I shall save his entire household.” Its all in the hands of a man, to worship God in Spirit and Truth. This verse is self explanatory. The head of the house can change the destiny of his house, even thou it may be divided at some point, God can bring it back together unto stronger footing. The choice is yours. As this world, as a household of man, continues to self destruct, the individual must make a decision on weather to allow his house to be divided or to call upon the one who can get it back on a firm foundation. The house divided will fall , children are killing parents, parents are killing children, what more will it take before you realize that your house is in trouble, when will it be enough to say, “I need Jesus, I need a change in the direction of my house. “ There is so much in this verse that I cant get it all in , under one sermon. but let us take the time to ponder what we have heard, let us look at the condition of , our Nation, State , Church and ourselves. Remember that a house divided will not stand. ars.
