This is Namma for Christ with the
two hundred fifty-second inspirational message dated Wednesday, July 19th, 2023.
The title of this message is “Something Better – Luke 19:10”.
The first two words of this message’s title are also the words
of the title of the inspirational
song/video (with lyrics), “Something Better” as sung by Christian artist “Blanca” featuring Christian artist Tauren Wells. The below passage
of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the New Testament. The scripture
is from Luke 19:10:
Luke 19:10
New
King James Version - (NKJV)
10 for the Son of Man
has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
The above passage in Luke 19:10
is what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ told us that is what He came to do:
Jesus has come to seek
and to save all who are lost!
In the below verse – we
are reminded that it is because of God’s LOVE for us that He sent His Son Jesus
to this world:
John 3:16
New
King James Version - (NKJV)
16 For God so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Recently,
I went with my mother to attend a funeral of a mutual friend who was also a
faithful and long-time member of my mother’s church. The pastor of my mother’s
church gave a powerful and anointed message that I knew I had to share.
The title of his message was, “I’ve Got a Home in Glory”. Below are excerpts
from the message and the scripture for this message is listed below as found 2nd
Corinthians 5:1-10.
The pastor began his message by reminding us that this dedicated woman of God (of whom he was giving the eulogy for) lived
her life – for the Glory of God! She served the Lord in her church “faithfully” – even towards the end of her life -
when her health started to decline. She would still make an effort to come to her church – until she “physically”
could not - due to her illness. The
pastor provided a beautiful analogy between “our physical bodies” or our “temples” and our actual “homes” – the places
that we "live in". He also referenced that God has a “new” home – for all
believers - already prepared for us – a heavenly home.
Below are
excerpts from the message:
“She’s moved from one house to a “new” house. We
will all have to move, one day… This old house – this old body is NOT made for heaven! We’ll ALL have to move from our present home, one day... “Flesh” can’t inherit the kingdom of God!
In our own bodies, we’ll experience pain… but, “we” (as Christian believers) know Jesus! He’s
a Doctor - who has more medicine in the “hem
of His garment” then all the pharmacies in the world! God told us in His
Word – that there is another building – a building, not made by human hands – that is eternal! See the below verses from 2nd Corinthian 5:1-10
-
2nd Corinthians 5:1-10
New
King James Version - (NKJV)
5 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent,
is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan,
earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from
heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall
not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent
groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further
clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now
He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who
also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we
are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we
are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not
by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased
rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
9 Therefore we
make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For
we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may
receive the things done in the body, according to what he has
done, whether good or bad.
No matter what we’re “presently” going
through – let us HOLD ON for “Something Better”!
