Good Sunday morning! What a glorious day in the Lord!
Believe
Jeremiah received a message, go to the king's ambassadors in Jerusalem wearing an ox yoke and tell them to submit to Nebuchadnezzar and then they would be allowed to stay in their land as slaves. At that same time there were false prophets in the land telling those same people that no one could conquer the Holy Land. We know from history that Nebuchadnezzar's armies did conquer and they destroyed Judah. The choice those people faced is the same as ours is today. Believe in Christ and be saved, or don't believe and you are already doomed.
Noah chose to believe God's message. He built an ark according to the Lord's specifications, and then he and his family entered into the ark and were saved. Jonah chose to run from God's command, but later repented and told the sailors to toss him overboard into a storm. Such a thing preceded certain death at that time, being tossed into a stormy sea was not a way to an extended life. However, the sailors and Jonah believed, and as soon as Jonah hit the water, the storm stopped and Jonah was swallowed by a large fish. Later Jonah was spat out by the fish and he took the Lord's message to Nineveh where a great revival took place. John wrote many incredible things down. He did not fear the judgement of the world, but believed in Jesus both during his time traveling with Jesus and in the great revelation given to him late in life. Tradition has it that John died of old age, the only disciple to do that. The other disciples believed and followed Jesus, and spread the Good News to the ends of the earth. A choice has been made; will we speak, write, sing, preach, share, and live the Good News of Jesus Christ? Yes, we will and may His name be forever praised!
God bless you on this fine Sunday morning. Believe, pray, and live!
