Dear Warriors,
We do not live in a friendly world. Every day we battle behind enemy lines with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We all need to remember that the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds.
This Sunday we transition from the Old Testament to the New in Chapter 22, “The Birth of the King.” The eternal Son of God is going to take on human flesh and dwell with His creation for around 33 years. There is today like there was 2,000 years ago great controversy as to His real identity, His radical message, and ultimate mission.
Remember this poem by Robert Frost called, “The Road not Taken?”
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
Let me ask you, what road are you on? Jesus stated emphatically that there are only two roads – the narrow and the broad. One leads to life and the other to death. What difference has the Lord Jesus made in your life in the past and today? He said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”
“Christ at the Crossroads” is my message title. I do hope that you will join us in person. The evil one longs to keep us isolated, fearful, and disillusioned. Jesus came that we may have life and experience it in relationship with one another.
Because He is the only way,
Glen
