CONTACT   JESUS

In  the Gospel  according  to St. Mark is  told  of a woman  which had an issue of blood twelve  years.    She had heard  how Jesus had  helped many.    Her  other  attemptss  of therapy  had not given any result.  She came  and began to  approach   Jesus  from the  back  side  in the  crowd.   She  penetrated  even nearer  and nearer.   At  these  moments  her  hope  changed  into faith.   In the end  she had come ver near  Jesus,  and then she  bowed herself  down  and  with her  hand  got  A CONTACT  at   His garment. And then!     She  experienced  how a  stream of power  went through  her body  and  she was  healed  in a twinkling  of an eye! ALSO YOU CAN  STRETCH  OUT YOUR  HAND  TO  JESUS !Also You can  approach  Him,   the Son  of God,   Jesus Christ ! Also  You  can get   a    c o n t a c t     with   HIM!  And  He  is willing  to help  You  in Your  difficult  affairs. Marc.   5:28-29  :  ‘For she said,  If  I may touch  but  his clothes,  I shall be whole.   And straightway  the fountain of her blood was dried up;  and she  felt  in her body  that  she was healed of that plague.’

HUNDRED SHEEP - ONE DISAPPEARED

Comparisons of the jesus were well practice's nearby. Also so following place from Bible is connected intimately that I drive- About 2000 years ago- To businesses and work:  "Niina spoke to them this comparison saying: If also whereby is hundred sheep and he loses the one of these, isn't he leaves ninety nine wilderness and goes to search for disappeared, until he it to find? And when they found he puts the to its shoulders enjoying. And when he comes to the home, calls he size its friend and their neighbour and tells them: Rejoice with me, in that I found my sheep, which was missing. I will say for you: Same is pleasure in the sky larger from the connection from erring, which makes the improvement, as from ninety ninth from just, which don't improvement to need." (Bones 15.3-7).

In this comparison main teaching also surely is, that Jesus transmits also from connection from the soul. Also one is to him important. The another point in this it is, that the rescue is individual and personal matter. To rescue does not to come just involved in the group. It demands Your own wanted and your solution.  In this not Jesus spoken involved in the group about the moving. But afterwards you have agreed The Lord to be own, comes it naturally to admit also to others. Otherwise you must not power to winning your sin and other matters.

They 99 got that as moment to remain there to their places and that the shepherd concentrated on their power and time that to searching One. He not that wanted to leave to the wilderness predators' toothed. He wanted to search for That kadoksiin of the One, To have been forced. Hear my friend, Jesus Christ Is Exactly That kind of Good shepherd Today. If so you admit astray, and you do not find the road- As wall is Your before you- So hear the today: Your assistance Shout Jesus Christ, God Boy. He is Master to rescue. He leads To you first advice and to give to your wounds, First aid, Medication.  It would not missing is the sheep other could make as in his emergency to shout.  And Shepherd Hear and Hears Today. He comes his large power and with their skill for the assistance to you.

THE GREAT BANQUET

In the Bible,   the Gospel of St. Luke , in the verses from sixteen to twentyfour (16-24)   we read :

Jesus replied : ‘A certain  man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.    At the time of the banquet he sent his servant  to tell those who had been invited,  Come,  for  everything is now ready.  But they all alike began  to make exuses.  The first said,   I have just bought a field,  and I must go and see it.  Please excuse me.   Another said,   I have just bought five yoke of oxes,  and I’m on my way  to try them out.  Please excuse me.    Still another  said,  I just  got married,  so I  can’t  come.    

The servant came back and reported this his master.   Then the owner  of the house became  angry  and ordered  his servant,  Go out quickly  into the streets and alleys of the town  and bring in the poor,  the crippled, the blind  and the lame.      Sir,  the servant said,  what you ordered  has been done,  but there  is still room.    Then the master  told his servant.  Go out to the roads  and country lanes  and make them come in,  so that my house will be full.   I tell  you,  not one  of those men who were invited  will get a taste of my banquet.’

Like always,   Jesus also her made a parable  which is easy to understand.. Here Jesus is speaking of the  Heavenly Father,  God,  Himself. He is  calling all the  mankind, all people to His great  feast,  eternal banquet in the heavens. But already here on the earth  we  must solve  our attitude in relation to God. So now and here He is giving  the  call, proposal of the opportunity to come to His great feast banquet.

The men  who first  got that calling   did’nt  receive. They  regarded  some earthly affairs  so much more important,  because  they not  were willing to come  to this banquet. It is sorry,  but the adversary of God,   the ark-enemy,  has made so that the great part of the mankind  has turned back to God.  So they are living   quite unfamiliar to God.  The enemy caused  such a situation  for mankind  already long time ago  and this story  of the falling to sin  is  by details told  in the first chapters of the  Bible. Some ones also say: ‘There is no God’  But  the Bible says in  the Psalm  fourteen - the first verse (14.1) :  ‘the fool says in his heart:  there is no God’. But we can see for instance  in the creation,  how there is  quite a lot over million kinds of animals etc.  This richness of different kinds  in the nature can’t exist  but   there  IS A  WISE  GOD  WHO HAS  MORE UNDERSTANDING  THAN ANY  MAN CAN IMAGINE.  He has all made. This Creator and God is expecting that we are more wise than  those men who that  master of the story  first invited. And the best  is to make  this decision already  as you are young.  As a prize  He will give already  on  the earth   a  rich and interesting  life   and after that  eternal joy  in the heavens.  Please receive  this message and  invitation  and  follow Jesus  Christ the  Son of God,  who  wants to help  youi in these affairs.  Jesus  Christ is such a Lored and  master,  who also  in  the end of the time will come and  the government - like it is  also in the Bible declared.  He is such a Great King, whose favor it is worthy  to seek.

PURITY

ARE YOU PURE BEFORE GOD …   

 

The great part of men are thinking of themselves that they are pure  and also without  guilty. At least they say, that they are not worse than other people. And before men they so are accepted.

 

But when it is the question of that, what we are BEFORE GOD, so this is quite a different matter of fact.

 

At the beginning of the Bible it is told, how the mankind, the first men,  falled to the sin of disobedience. And so they went out off from the connection and intercourse of God.This condition is also nowadays easily to be seen in this world. In the greatest part of the mankind they have turned back to God.

 

However, once we all must leave this life. And at least then we come before the GOD, ALMIGHTY. What can us then help …

God is waiting, that we personally already here on the earth will come to reconciliation with HIM! Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is offering the right to grace and propitiation for every man. He is only expecting that we everyone of us will confess our sins and guilty before God. And so we will express to Him that we will receive the purification from Him. 

Only so, on the other side of the borderline of the death, we have possibility enter through the gates into the everlasting city of God, if we here in this life it received.

 

WE ARE THEREFORE CHRIST S AMBASSADORS, AS THOUGH GOD WERE MAKING HIS APPEAL THROUGH US. WE IMPLORE  YOU ON CHRIST S BEHALF BE RECONCILED TO GOD. 2 Cor.  5.20.

 

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO WASH THEIR ROBES, THAT THEY MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE AND MAY GO THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY. REV. 22.14.

OUT

ARE  YOU  OUT …

 

Have you driven out  of the  way in your life ….

 

In the world there ar many people whom we could  make this question …

Or,  like the sailors may say,  have you in your navigation come on the rocks …

 

May be that you are in your life even in the situation of emergency …

Who can help you …

 

Behind you there may be many reasons and phases  how you  have come into this situation. 

 

But now,  I will  ask you   Do you want  anybody come and help you …

If you do want,  you may do so like it is written in the Bible, in the Book of the Psalms (50.15)   AND CALL ME IN  THE DAY  OF  TROUBLE,  I  WILL  DELIVER  YOU,  AND YOU WILL  HONOR  ME.

 

Here, on these pages,  we will for you recommend the same Helper  about  whom that psalm spoke, Jesus Christ,  the SON OF GOD.

He has the power and He WILL  lift your life again  on the right rails  and you come out of the rocks.  But He is expecting that you allow Him to purify your heart and you shall serve Him in  your life.

He is saying in the Bible,  Matthew 28.18,   ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.

TAKE THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Youth is in the life a very important period.   Then we must  choose  our profession, spouse,  work etc.  It is first-class important,  that these  fundamental choices will be done right.  If we say it in other way:   At the navigation of the life there we must take the right  direction  and all  the time navigate right.

We can  tell here  a comprison:   The life of man is like  a journey over a great sea.

First of all:  In the ship must be  the right  and professionally skillful captain.   For the captain and chief  we’ll recommend Jesus Christ,  the Son of God.   In  His command your ship does’nt be cast adrift.   On  the  great ocean or sea  the  ships  may  meet winds of many kinds and of many directions.

Furthermore on the ship must be be found an able and vigorous compass,   namely the

conscience.  If we only will,  the  Son of God  will  tune our compass - so it will be acting in the right way.

Yet,  there is needed a good and sufficiently wide mariner’s chart.  For the mariner’s  chart of the life God has given us the  BIBLE.   This contains  all needed orders of the

passages and routes   via which you are going to  navigate.

Yet,  there is needed  an working  ‘radioconnection’.    The connection from us to God is in the Bible named the prayer.   When you  begin to use this  telecommunication to God, so very soon you’ll  through your inner ear hear  how  God begins  to send thoughts into yur inner world.  And so you’ll get  from your Captain all necessary orders for the navigation. 

The Lord  Himself  is also the  lighthouse  of the destinational harbor,  where you  shall direct.

HEBR.  12.1 - 2 :  ‘ --- LET US  LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT,  AND THE SIN  WHICH  DOES SO EASILY BESET US, AND LET US RUN  --- LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF BELIEF ---.’

WHO HAS CREATED THE EARTH,  THE STARRY SKY  AND  ALL  THE  UNIVERSE ?

 

Everyone, who is looking  around,  can see the plants, the kinds of animals.   How many  many  kinds there  are of  them  ? 

And on the starry  sky  we can  get a little notion  of the huge amount of the stars and of  the enormous measures of the cosmos.

 

An as we are astonished  at this all,  we  can’t  get  any other result  than,    This all  can’t  exist  automatically.  THERE MUST BE A CREATOR,  GOD !

 

The Bible gives on this a clear answer,  and majestetically  says :   ‘In the  beginning God created the heaven  and the earth’. Genesis  1:1.

 

Some decades ago I was as student  in the Finnish school.   So now afterwards I’ve been thinking,  that there these teachers had very fine  chance  for us to admire:   ‘Now,  for instance,  consider  this great  abundance of kinds  in the  vegetable  world and  with the animals and in all.  So,  nobody than  the supernatural ALMIGHTY GOD can make such as these !    I remember that  one teacher  this  even confessed.   And he also experienced a spiritual  revival.

 

Don’ t  you  want -  also you  - become to know -  better know  - this  great  God ?

 

The Bible,  especially the New Testament,   will give to you all the necessary guidance.    And there you can begin at the Gospel  of John.  So you shall   find   God through   His son,  Jesus Christ !

 

In the Psalm (14L:1)  :  ‘The fool  says in his heart   ”There is no God”  ‘.
