    Life After Death: Law, Eternity, And The Changed Mind

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021
     | 1,786 views

    There are two pieces, at least two parts of the human experience that every human will partake of: being born, and dying. That's right. The death rate for humans is 100%. I don't think people like to be reminded of that. It's a shocking thing to consider in fact.

    The question is: How has Jesus restored your life? Just as Jesus brought physical healing to the man by the sheep gate through the power of His words, He has brought you spiritual healing through His death, burial, and resurrection.

    Last week we started talking about what Jesus has done for us as we approach the Easter season. We looked at the long list of things that Jesus has done for us but finally decided that the greatest thing that Jesus did for us was to provide Himself.

    God said both Nebuchadnezzar and Cyrus were His "servants." One brought national ruin; the other brought restoration. We need to trust that whoever is leading - king, prime minister, president - that God has placed them for a reason.

We envisioned how he would bring about prosperity and freedom to our nation; but if he lost, we envisioned the end of the world. Anyone of any political party ...read more
