The Stone
“The Stone was cut not by any human hand struck the Statue and crushed it to dust” Daniel 2:34.That Stone that grows into a Mountain and fills the Earth is Jesus.
Christians: As we call ourselves; have we a clear vision of the 'Faith' we proclaim everyday “Christ will come again” WHEN! HOW!! and WHY!!!.
To answer these questions, can we with a vivid illustration of the Prophet Denial’s message in mind, reflect on the glowing imagery of this Stone that grows into a Mountain and fills the Earth in order to explore Christians today and Christianity of the twenty first Century; if we are getting the correct teachings and making the right preparations for the coming Christ.
Consequently, the number of churches and division among Christians each claiming perfection; the Atheists enjoy the comfort of their seats and grilling in the faces of these false ideologies and alien teachings and behaviours of those who call themselves Christians. Let us search the true existence of the word Christian.
Who is a Christian? the bible teaches us about the early Christians in Acts 11:26 “ ….....it was at Antioch that the true believers were first called Christians”. This is where and how the name 'Christian' originated from those who followed and tried to adopt the teachings of Christ Jesus: to find out more on these early believers read Acts 10: 34-47 and Acts 11: 1-30.
In within the reading, we might come across certain confirmations –
Acts 10:41 who the Witnesses of Christ are,
Acts 10:42; the apostles of Jesus testified HE is the appointed one.
Acts 10:43 that sins can be forgiven through the power of his name (Jesus)
Acts 11:18 God has given the Gentiles also the opportunity to repent and live
Christianity: should we also consider the integrity of Christians of our time one could see that this word 'Christian' in reality of the people has been refined and spiritualised out of its old coarse. That the name serves merely as a compliment or a mark of praise rather than a name for those who devoted their life to Christ? If you agree – how best can we walk out of the Mess? This is the 'Call' for us all living today where the old world is failing and believers of Christ waiting for his return to take over the new kingdom of goodness and mercy. Are you ready to welcome HIM?
Here and now is the message of Restoration of Christ's Kingdom on a tidal wave of joy and creativity that will touch the whole world in all works of life; Farming, Teaching, Nursing, Music, Arts, Polities. In fact it is a shock wave that will up-end virtually every preconceived idea in sight about the new Government of Christ to take over the collapsing world Government.
Many in the Christian world have no belief in Christ's Resurrection. Some think its a living memory of Christ's influence. Others believe it's a mere story with no tangible proof or rather a pagan celebration of the Easter bonny egg.
That be the truth, the disciples of Jesus could have backed down on their witness to the Resurrection despite persecution and Martyrdom. This, with the message of Restoration alive, confirms the reality of Christ's Resurrection; who conquered death through resurrection and is coming back to restore His kingdom here on Earth.
There were confusion and exclamations of unbelief swiftly breaking down the news on the hour of the day of Resurrection among human race, the same will be on the hour of the day of Restoration. Christ will take the glory despite the hostility of the vested interest and religious prejudice.
This is new. This is shocking, it is controversial but is true. God will rescue his people from the dominion of darkness and bring them into the Kingdom of the Son who He loves in fulfilment to His words in Colossians 1:13
To God be the Glory in Jesus Name.
