The Consolation

If there is someone the world loves to hate is Jesus Christ. Since creation, I beg to submit that the most controversial personality that has ever lived is Jesus Christ. Even though it has been proven that He lived, died and rose again with many eye witness reports at the time and present archaeological finds that proves His existence; yet many do all manner of things to disparage His deity, even archaeology and modern science had been employed in this act. In fact, trying to disprove His existence and deity has become a money making venture in the literary and movie industry. Unfortunately, the more the world tries, the more the world is made painfully aware that Jesus Christ did live, walked upon the earth, died and rose again. And whether the world approves or not, He is coming back again! As children of God we should not be worried about the blasphemies, blackmailing and heresies that are been spread about Him because they were all foretold by God in the Scriptures – Luke 2:34, “Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, ‘Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against…’” Indeed His birth and coming into this world to this day has accounted for the fall and rise of many people and nations around the world through the ages. All that had been employed to disprove His deity or existence are all distractions to take the focus of people whom He came and died for from Him to mundane, baseless and false beliefs and lifestyles. So many like Simeon has been waiting for consolation for all that life had thrown at them, unfortunately, so many unlike Simeon go to their graves without seeing or receiving it. No wonder it is said that the grave is filled with bodies of unfulfilled dreams and destinies. Just as Simeon saw and declared, so you too must see and believe that Jesus Christ has come to give you succour and save you from the onslaught of this maddening world. Are you going through life’s challenges and feeling tired? Please don’t give up, your salvation is right in front of you, reach out to Him and you will find rest for your soul. It is not about confession without any iota of belief in your heart but all that is required is as simple as believing that He is the Light that will bring revelation and direction to your life. Resting and assured in Him that all that concerns you have been taken care of. Friend, the desire of God for your life is not for you to close your eyes in death and not see and experience this wonderful gift He has sent to you. Open your eyes, reach out your arms and claim this wonderful gift that is able to save and restore your soul and your life will never be the same again. Do you need revelation and direction for your life? He is waiting for you, all you have to do is sincerely ask Him and He will answer you. God bless you.
