    based on 11 ratings
     | 27,049 views

    The gospel of grace! Because of Jesus, the Father promises US, ’Never will I leave or forsake YOU.’

    “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Those words were so raw with emotion that we still have them in Aramaic, Jesus’ mother tongue: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?

    Both Matthew 27:45 and Mark 15:33 tells us that as Jesus was hanging on the cross darkness covered the land. Then Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 quote Jesus as asking, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

    "My God, My God ,why have you forsaken me." Matt. 27:46; Mark 15:34 The fourth word of Jesus from the cross discloses a sense of hope when we remember the whole psalm from which it comes. Psalm 22 does indeed begin with desperation: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you ...read more

    People have an opinion, a point of view. Oftentimes, speaking our point of view changes very little, if anything, except how it makes us feel – "I said my piece!" Point of view is everything however in terms of how we understand life and deal with living

     | 99 views

    If we love God what would be our response to those who don’t think like I do, don’t look like I do, don’t feel like I do? Do I miss God in someone because I’m looking for myself in them?

    If Abel’s sacrifice was simply offering God his best, then Jesus Christ died for nothing except as a good example. Then we must agree with the world in saying that there are many sincere ways to God. Many people are sincere, but are sincerely wrong

    Why must it be only through the Blood that we can be saved? Genesis 4:1-12 We are told today that mankind is naturally good at heart.
