We need each other

Friends,

Jesus could have gone to be with His Father much earlier than Calvary. He could have avoided the cross. The Father declared Him to be His Beloved Son, in whom He was well pleased. He judged Jesus to have fulfilled the covenant and earned eternal life.

But Jesus does not want to be alone. He went to the cross to gain an inheritance: us.

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 1:22-23 [NKJV]

Christ Jesus is our head. But what is a head with no body?

We are His body. But what is a body with no head?

Without a bride, there is no bridegroom. And Christ knows this. He desires that we be His bride, that we be His body.

Sisters and brothers, walk in a manner that brings honor to our bridegroom. Do not rebel against the head ... follow where He leads.

Be encouraged, Jose

No much time

5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew 25:5 (NKJV)

They all started well in their journey to make it to the bridegroom. Some how they lost focus, threw away caution, went with the flow, became more obsessed with being politically correct, disregarded time and thought they had all and went about life's business as usual with upside down priorities, until suddenly the groom showed up and they were deep into the world which led to their missing out big time.

13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour[b] in which the Son of Man is coming.
Matthew 25:13 (NKJV)

Do you think you have all the time in the world to get this salvation issue right? Time is what we lack, the time is now and tomorrow isn't guaranteed.

Be encouraged,
