In full commitment

This is letter: 49

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Our Theme for the day: In full commitment

In the mid 1960’s the world was caught between the fighting of a needless war. To some it was the best way of getting their point across that they are in control, and to others it was there way of saying we are not going to give in. The Viet Nam war which was fought in Vietnam opened the eyes of everyone on earth to see the full evil of war. Some people believed America had no right to put its head in where it wasn’t needed, but others differed, the big question is still sounding and resounding to our day. What does it mean to be my brother’s keeper? Are we not called upon to protect the innocent, whether they are a problem, or not? It is estimated that 2.7 million men from the USA alone served in the military in Vietnam, and 58,000 die. Many served alongside men, who they died for, trying to stay alive. Some were dedicated to keeping the war going at any cause at destroying one another, but a few were dedicated to ending the war and were willing to die for that cause.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. put it right when he said, “If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.” After His resurrection, Christ met with His disciples in Galilee. At the time appointed, about five hundred disciples were assembled on the mountainside. Suddenly Jesus stood among them. No one could tell whence or how He came. Many who were present had never before seen Him; but in His hands and feet they beheld the marks of the crucifixion of were the battle was waged for your sins and mine. His countenance was as the face of God, and when they saw Him they worshiped Him. Jesus came from glory to earth for two main reasons only, to vindicate His fathers name and to bring mankind back in oneness with their maker.

One day soon all the redeemed and those who had a part in helping to bring the message of hope to them will all bow at the feet of Jesus. After sin, sinners, and war has ended we will all cry Holy, Holy, Holy and sing glory to the lamb which was slain, and war, death and the grave will be no more.

Cody Stephen Heldak says it well in summing up her poem on “War is”, said “War is innocent deaths, War is many tears, and war is an unwelcomed guests. And they all last for years.” But on that day it will be over. We are living in a world of war now were good and evil, Christ and Satan is fighting for the control of the mind and there is no getting around it. But the biggest question today is not how many died last night, but who is willing to die to this world and Satan and gain all even eternal life through Christ Jesus today?

Today God is holding the war in check, but how long? Remember what the prophet saw in Revelation 7, "four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree." And that another angel, ascending from the east, cried to them, saying, "Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads." This point’s out the work we now have to do, which is to cry to God for the angels to hold the four winds until missionaries shall be sent to all parts of the world, and shall have proclaimed the warning against those who disobey the law of Jehovah. Will you not serve beside man who if called upon by God would die for you? Today I give you Jesus He died for us all, serve Him in full commitment today.
