Christ had to be from the line of David, we are shown that He is.

The star, the wisemen, all unique events for Jesus, the Messiah.

Never again to happen for never again will the be a need for a Savior.

The very ones entrusted with the care of the people, knew not the Creator of the people when He came among them.

Yet the people wanted to hear Him.

When we die it all goes to someone else. Houses, cars, clothes, land money all of it will pass. Only what is done for Christ will last.

These days we are in are not days of the apocalypse, they are days of the apathetic church.

There are so many questions concerning this event. Today we are going to do a surface examination of the rapture: A pre-trib event.

We spoke of how He was like us, but not of us. How He came to show us God, to die and redeem mankind.

This High Priestly prayer He prayer in John 17 answers a lot of questions about Jesus, and who He thought He was. He is God and He unequivocally states it here.

He prays for the disciples, He also prays for all those that believe because of the disciples words. That my friends is you and I! Jesus prayed for us 2000 yrs ago.

We have tried so hard to make Him like as we are. In reality we should be striving to be as He.

Paraphrasing John 7:7 they dont hate you, for you are of them, yet they hate me for I show them their works, and that their works are evil.

Do we show the world a light on their sin. their evil or do we tolerate and accept their sin as if all is well? We love the sinner, but we can not tolerate, condone nor turn a blind eye to their sin.

We are at another crisis, where the doom sayers are out and about and another false prediction has come and gone.

We are called to prepare them for the Rapture to go with us, we are not instructed to prepare them for the Tribulation, the Rupture of the earth.

Tell them of Jesus who died for them so they so not have to face the Tribulation.
