Mother’s Day

YESTERDAY I was reminded to develop my relationships with people.

I think all of us could do better when it comes to connect and keeping connected with our family, our friends, our fellow workers, our neighbors and the wider community.

CONNECT

I live in Kaitaia, in the Far North of New Zealand, and I like to connect with tourists, especially the visitors from Germany. I am from Germany.

I saw a family from Germany today, but I did not manage to talk to them. They probably were on their way to Cape Reinga or on their way back from the Cape.

I have experienced that to connect and keeping connected with people supports me and enriches my life. You have probably experienced the same.

Lately I come across the word WELLBEING.

A pharmacy mailer says, “Prepare for Winter Wellbeing”.

I am also reading that to connect and keeping connected with people is a Winning Way to Wellbeing.

TODAY I want not only remind you but urge you to develop a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

To connect and keeping connected with the Lord Jesus Christ is not only a Way to Wellbeing, but the Way to heaven.

And the Lord Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY to heaven.

“THERE IS NOTHING THAT SO CLEARS A MAN’S SPIRITUAL  SIGHT AS THE APPREHENSION AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE DOCTRINES OF THE BIBLE.” – D. MARTYN LLOYD – JONES in his book Spiritual Depression, which I am reading at the moment with great interest.

“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” – Genesis 9:13

“Step into the Future,” and “Make yours better,” encourages me the April 2014 Telecom New Zealand Limited newsletter.

And “Step into the Future today by signing up to online bills and you’ll go in the draw to win a brand new Toyota Prius C plus 50 other prizes …,” it says  on a separate card.

“Step into the FUTURE”

Whenever I hear and read about the Future, I am reminded of the FUTURE GLORY of the believers in Jesus Christ.

1.  John 14:3

To be with Christ.

2.  Psalm 17:15; Second Corinthians 4:6; Revelation 22:4

To behold his face.

3.  John  17:24

To behold the glory of Christ.

4.  Romans 8:17,18

To be glorified with Christ.

5.  Second Timothy 2:12; Matthew 25:20-23; Luke 19:12-19

To reign with Christ.

6.  Revelation 21:7; Acts 26:18

To inherit all things.

7.  Daniel 12:3

To shine as the stars.

I stepped into the FUTURE GLORY many years ago when the Lord Jesus Christ revealed himself to me.

Some time ago I heard someone talk about religious convictions and yesterday especially I was thinking again about religious people.

When thinking about religious people the seven woes of the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 23 come to my mind. Please listen to the first woe in Matthew 23:13+14:

“‘WOE TO YOU, TEACHERS OF THE LAW AND PHARISEES, YOU HYPOCRITES! YOU SHUT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN MEN’S FACES. YOU YOURSELVES DO NOT ENTER, NOR WILL YOU LET THOSE ENTER WHO ARE TRYING TO.'”

In John chapter three Jesus talks to the Pharisee Nicodemus and tells him that he must be born again.

Are you born again or just religious?
