Our paragraph topic is: (Christ's answer) Part 4.
Christ is patient. He is loving. He is merciful. He is caring. He is understanding. He is kind. He is the kind of teacher who wants all to be able to grasp that which he is teaching. There are some that will. There are some that won't right-a-way but, later with time, will come to understand. Then there are those who just refuse to understand because they are set in their beliefs and refuse to allow themselves to change. Their eyes are blind, their minds are closed and their hearts are set against that which would bring them joy and happiness. Instead they cling to that which they have known for years and refuse to allow room for anything else to enter.
God speaks to the heart. He speaks to the will of those who seek that which is wanting within each of us. He calls to the need within that would be fulfilled and as yet, has not. The heart knows. The heart feels. The heart yearns. The heart understands that which comes from the creator and returns to the creator. Life was given by the creator and returns as it was given, not death. Death is not of the creator. Christ told the Sadducees: "But as to the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God?"
Christ died on the cross to sacrifice for the sins of all mankind that we would not have to suffer the pains of punishment for our sin. We are sinners. From the beginning of time we are sinners and were given the punishment of death through the sin of Adam for his transgression in the garden of Eden. That transgression was never paid for until Christ came down from heaven, became man, and suffered the pain of death for all mankind. Through his passion and death he lifted the punishment of death for all mankind. Those who would believe in him as the son of the father and obey his commandments will have new life eternal.
Have you not read what was given to you from the mouth of God himself? Do you not believe his words? Do you not understand? Are you so blinded by today's world that you have no grasp of the consequences of the actions that you take on a daily basis? God is patient. God is merciful. God is kind. God is Loving. God is caring. He knows all and sees all. I am thankful that he held my hand along the journey of my transgressions. I pray that he will be patient with you along your journey. He is the God of the living and not of the dead. Are you the walking living today or are you the walking dead?
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage nd then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
