The Mole

The mole is a strange creature. It is strange in this way --- You will never see a mole alive with its eyes open. They are always closed if alive. Yes, they do open, but only when they are dead.
The eyes of a mole? Close if alive. Open once dead.

You know, there are many people who are like that spiritually speaking. Their eyes are closed to the attractions of the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross. They never see the preciousness and the value of what He did for them during the time when they were alive.

But once they passed the Rubicon, once they cross the borders of life to the territory of death, their eyes will finally be forever open to the treasure that they trashed. And it's just too late.

My friend, don't be like the mole. Be blind no more. Open your eyes to the fact that you are sinner who cannot save yourself. And come to Christ, trusting in Him and what He did on the cross for your salvation.

Vote Jesus!

Nowadays, election fever is in the air. Politicians are going here and there to campaign for whatever posts they are aspiring. In the realm of salvation, there are many who are vying to be the sinner's savior.

"Vote for me as your savior!" says Mr. Good Works.
"Put your faith in me as your savior!" says Mr. Religious Activities
"I can get you there! Choose me!" says Mr. Good Character. 

But there is only one name under heaven by which a sinner can be saved --- the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ac 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

It is the Lord Jesus who can save you! Personally vote for Him as your Savior by putting your faith in Him. Vote Wisely! Vote Jesus!

"... No one is good but One, that is, God." Mr 10:18

The Lord Jesus uttered these words to a self-righteous man, a man satisfied with himself morally speaking. And because he needs to be disappointed and dissatisfied with himself, the Lord Jesus uttered these ego-shattering words to him "No one is good but One, that is, God."

Ps 16:2 "... My goodness is nothing apart from You."
Ps 143:2 "... in Your sight no one living is righteous."
Ps 14:3 "... There is none who does good, No, not one.
Isa 64:6 "... all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags..."
Ro 7:18 "... in me ... nothing good dwells..."

Man can only be good if he is united to God. But in himself, there is none who is good. No one is good but One, that is, God.

A lot of people today feel confident that they can make it to heaven because they view themselves as good people. They need a good look at the picture that God alone is good. Every single one of us is nothing but a sinner.

When, in humility, we finally accept and realize that God alone is good, we will begin to look outside ourselves for it. And turning to the Lord Jesus in faith, who is goodness Himself personified and God Himself in the flesh, we shall become acceptable to God with all the goodness of Himself bestowed to us.

Come now and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ.
