@@deebz2626 That's a pretty ignorant statement. I'm guessing you've never read and studied the Bible. Try it sometime if you want to know the truth about who God is; or you can continue to be clueless and miss out on eternal life with the God who lovingly created you. Your choice.
Recently the Lord has been taking me through a hard lesson. I've really struggled to be a good "keeper at home" and we've just lived in such a hectic and messy house with myself just having more work than I can handle. I was so discontent and miserable when I read an article written about the story in the New Testament where Jesus is on a boat with his disciples and they get into a storm. They wake him up very afraid they will die, and he rebukes them for not having faith. I realized we think that Jesus wants us to be in calm waters, He wants everything to go well for us. That's not it, Jesus wants us to have faith in Him, and therefore peace in Him, despite being on a sinking ship! Truly it is the peace that passes all understanding!
Everyone, including us Christians need to hear this. How is it even possible to deliver such a powerful message in just a few sentences. God is speaking through you Pastor Mike. Be blessed.
It’s pretty clear in scripture where the hearts of men were. The religious leaders already decided if anyone claimed to be the Christ they would be put to death. And others did indeed come to Him only for provision and not relationship. I used to tell people all the time that if God wasn’t going to save us of our sins and decided we all deserve death and Christ never died for us, He would still deserve all the praise. But the fact is He did die for us to cover us and that means relationship is greater reward.
The leaders were not opposed to someone claiming to be Messiah. But they wanted a temporal king to deliver them from the Romans, not a Savior from sin.
💯 Mike is right on it. Way too many of our brethren see Jesus from the, "what have you done for me lately?" or "what can you do for me now?" attitudes. It is heartbreaking. This is one of the reasons why I affirm Total Depravity. All creation testifies of the majesty of our Holy Triune God. We resist the obvious Truth. We resist His continuing work in us. O wretched man that I am. Thanks be to God that He is merciful and long suffering for our sake, desiring all to repent and be saved.

That was the gospel I was sold at first. I don't know if the people telling me this version of the gospel, recognised that they were telling a lie, but it is not the truth. They say God has a new plan for your life,as though you are never going to have any problems ever again, but everyone will have trials and seasons of dryness etc and if they have told you that God is going to be in control of everything and fix everything for you, when the difficulty comes,it makes you even doubt your salvation.
