Why Jesus Came For Everyone

Why Jesus Came For Everyone

Jesus said in Matthew 15 that He came only for the lost house of the sheep of Israel so why do people think he died for the sins of the whole world? What is the scriptural basis for this?

Old Testament

Isaiah 65

I was sought by those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’ To a nation that was not called by My name.

Isaiah 49

This passage talks about being

a light to the Gentiles

my Salvation to the ends of the earth

And now the Lord says, Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, So that Israel is [d]gathered to Him (For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, And My God shall be My strength), Indeed He says, ‘It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’ ”

Isaiah 42

I will bring forth justice to the Gentiles

He will not fail till he has brought justice to the earth

I will keep you and give you as a covenant to the people and as a light to the Gentiles to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison

Sing unto the Lord a new song and His praise from the ends of the earth

I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”

“I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles, 7 To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the prison,

Gospels

John 1

Jesus is the light of the World

Jesus' life is the light of men

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not [a]comprehend it.

Jesus is the true light who gives light to every man coming into the world

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That[b] was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

It's not about blood - those who are born of God will have the right to become children of God

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Jesus is the Lamb Of God who takes away the sin of the world

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Poetry For Jesus

God bless you all who are reading this and I pray you have a blessed day

Pray to Jesus saying

I love you God

Fill my heart

Fill my soul

Make me whole

I am precious in your sight

Fill me up

With your light

Fill me up 

With your joy

Fill me up 

With your glory

and your presence

in my soul

for all to behold

as I shine 

the Love of Christ

Day and Night 

Shining within

from out to in 

your light shines in

Then like  a burning light

for all to see

I become a walking 

testimony

Of Christ inside 

a burning light

The gospel 

message

burning bright

When any man enters in

To the presence of my soul

Let them truly know

That Christ is within

And not be in any doubt 

or any whim

as to who is the Lord

The Saviour and King

His name is Jesus 

Jesus 

Jesus

Forever He Will Be

That Lamb Upon The Throne

Of my heart and others

And I desire to live

As others also

Living in the light 

Of the Glorious I Am

Walking in His Presence

Walking In His Light

Shining To All Before Me

The fact that He Is Right

And Blessed And Loves Them

With A Purity Way Beyond

What the sins of this life

would indicate is possible

to go beyond

but it's true 

we can

leave this life of sin behind

and walk daily with our Saviour

In the beauty of his land

The Kingdom Of Heaven is within

An invisible realm in my soul

A realm that breathes within

Making me whole

And walking with the Son

The Son who came for me

And died upon that cross

For all eternity 

To flood my soul with His Love

For All

Tues 27 and Wed 28 August - GOT UP AT 3AM AND STAYED UP BOTH DAYS!!!

Tues 27 and Wed 28 August - GOT UP AT 3AM AND STAYED UP BOTH DAYS!!!

Well am I not doing well???

That's six days in a row now, I think, that I have successfully arisen 3am and actually stayed up as well without going back to bed at one point !!!

This is, I am sure, what the Lord wants for me - to carve a night time vigil lifestyle even though it might mean I typically crash out at about 9 - 10pm every night; no bother!!!

The peace and excellence of work done early in the morning completely overrides any pain of getting up early...can I continue to do this though???

This BLOG was actually conceived to MOTIVATE ME TO DO AND OBEY THE WILL OF GOD IN THIS ARENA, TO MOTIVATE ME AND TO ANALYSE WHERE I WAS GOING WRONG.

WELL IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN WORKING.

GIVE IT A MONTH !!!

Supermarket Evangelism - Jesus Loves You by the Potatoes ! !

Crazy Evangelism in the supermarket - spoke to 50 ladies about Jesus and how He Loves Them ! ! !    Crazily I went to the gym but was sensing, afterwards I had some time to kill because I was not ready to pick up a picture my wife had bought privately on Ebay at a set time.  So I had time to kill after my gym workout, about an hour or so.

So you know what - I felt the Lord tell me to do some EVANGELISM ! ! !  Now I don't know about you but have you ever tried just to walk up to people cold and start talking to them about God ? ? ? It's not nice and in a busy street the noise of the traffic  can sometimes hinder things as well.

Well you know what the Lord had other ideas.

There is a BIG MORRISONS SUPERMARKET near Wood Green in North London.  The Lord told me to go in THERE, where it was NICE AND QUIET and tell 50 ladies that Jesus Loves Them!!!  Why ladies ? ? ? I guess because I'm a man there's an inherent fear of witnessing to ladies, particularly GOOD LOOKING ONES, and just walking up to them and talking to them about the LOVE OF GOD ! ! !  And do you know what - I DID IT!!!  AND I REALLY REALLY REALLY ENJOYED IT, EVERY MINUTE OF IT ! ! !  It was FUN walking up to people and letting them know that Christ loved them, and because I did it in a sensitive, not brash way, MOST OF THE PEOPLE EVEN NON-CHRISTIAN WERE APPRECIATIVE OF IT!!!  YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE REACTIONS THOUGH ON SOME OF THE FACES - IT'S PRICELESS ! ! ! HAD some GENUINE CONVERSATIONS THOUGH, BOTH WITH EXISTING CHRISTIANS BUT ALSO WITH LADIES WHO WERE TOUCHED BY THE FACT I CHOSE THEM TO SPEAK TO, AND THEY WERE REALLY TOUCHED BY THAT.  INDEED ONE LADY CAME BACK TO ME AND SPOKE TO ME ABOUT HOW SHE WAS INTRIGUED THAT  I HAD CHOSEN HER TO SPEAK TO.  ANOTHER LADY TURNED OUT TO BE FROM NIGERIA AND WAS SHOPPING TO MAKE APPLE PIE FOR HER KIDS TO EAT ON THE FLIGHT AND TO STORE AND EAT IN THEIR FREEZER BACK HOME!! SHE REALLY OPENED UP TO ME THOUGH RIGHT THERE AND THEN INSIDE THE SUPERMARKET - WHAT CRAZINESS ! ! !

I WAS SO PLEASED ABOUT THIS AS QUITE OFTEN GOD ASKS US TO DO STUFF AND WE COMMONLY DON'T DO IT, SO I WAS REJOICING I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING RIGHT (FOR A CHANGE!)

Love you all who are reading this!!!

To be a preacher ?

I believe in God, a Saviour, and in Jesus Christ my eternal Lord and Saviour!!!

I believe He's a Good God and wants EVERYBODY TO KNOW LOVE AND SERVE HIM, and I really want to COMMUNICATE THAT TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE - HOW DO I DO THAT???  Twitter and Facebook are massive platforms these days and other social media is incredible but I LOVE THE FACE TO FACE INTERACTION OF PEOPLE AND THEIR RESPONSIVENESS AND I WANT TO GIVE MY LIFE TO FACE-TO-FACE EVANGELISM AND REACHING PEOPLE FOR JESUS CHRIST.  IS THAT WRONG?  IS THAT CRAZY? OR IS THAT THE WILL OF GOD?  WHAT ABOUT FULL/PART TIME?  WILL I EVER BE GOOD ENOUGH OR NEEDED ENOUGH TO BE ACTUALLY REQUIRED TO LIVE AND PREACH FOR JESUS?  THAT IS MY DESIRE BUT WILL I EVER MAKE IT A REALITY?  

I GUESS A LOT DEPENDS ON ME, REALLY.

HOW I LIVE FOR GOD.

HOW I OBEY GOD.

HOW I SERVE HIM.

HOW I SERVE AND LOVE OTHER PEOPLE.

HOW I MANAGE MY WIFE AND FAMILY.

HOW I READ AND OBEY THE PRINCIPLES WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

HOW PROACTIVE I AM IN WORKING WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS.

And a lot more!


If you are reading this make sure you pray a prayer inviting CHRIST INTO YOUR SOUL and RECEIVE HIM AS YOUR SAVIOUR.


I LOVE YOU ALL

Poetry For Christ



Pray this PRAYER

Jesus

Help me

Deliver me

Guide me

Show me

Your way

Infinite

and

Everlasting

I

want to walk

daily closer with thee

humbly I bow my knee

In Christ it's the ONLY WAY

Into Christ DAILY I WILL PRAY

Seeking and serving

Humbled and waiting

I will do the will

Of my SAVIOUR AND LORD

Jesus is HIS NAME

Holy are HIS WAYS

Blessed are THE DAYS

Of the one whose SOUL IS

CARVED INTO THE ROCK, THE NICHE, WEDDED AND CLEAVED

INTO CHRIST

AND NEVER HE WILL LEAVE

Every day upon this earth

The soul of one who waits

and longs

for the heart of the Saviour

to fill his own

the arms of the Redeemer

to embrace his own

the eyes of the Master

to PIERCE THROUGH HIS SOUL

Like a servant waiting

watching

adoring

praising

lifting arms on high

following daily that path

to . . .

eternal . . .

life . . .

Amen
