I
Am
Placing
A Stone In Jerusalem
That
Makes People Stumble
Scripture
Romans
9
“I
am placing a stone in Jerusalem that makes people stumble,
a rock that makes them fall.
But anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”
a rock that makes them fall.
But anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”
Observation
Over
the past several months I have been I been asked several times about
people of different religions whether they worship the same God as I
do.
If
you are a Hindu, a Buddhist, or a Muslim is the God that you worship
the same as the God that I worship? What do you think?
My
personal view or opinion is 'no', my God is not the same as their
god.
My
God left Heaven and came down to this earth. He allowed Himself to be
born as a Man, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was 100 % human and 100%
God. Jesus Christ, God Himself, lived on this earth for 33 years
without sinning one time. Then He allowed Himself to be arrested and
crucified for my sins and for your sins on a cross. He was buried and
on the third day, He came back to life. He is alive today. And one
day Jesus will return to earth and He will take all of His followers
to Heaven to be with Him forever.
If
your God did that for you then His name is Jesus! If you reject Jesus
as Your God then He will be the Rock that makes you stumble and fall.
There is only One God, and His name is Jesus.
Acts
4:12
There
is salvation in no one
else! God has given no other name under
heaven by which we must be saved.”
1
Corinthians 1:23
but
we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to
Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
John
5:24
24 “Very
truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent
me has
eternal life and
will not be judged but
has crossed over from death to life.
Application
I
will treat people of different religions with respect, but I will
always be ready to tell them about Jesus.
How
about you? Is He the Rock of your salvation, or is He a stumbling
block to you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to be ready to share with people, no matter what
religious background they may have. Give me the chance to talk to
them about Jesus. Open doors for me to share and make me aware of the
opportunity when You provide one. Don't let me miss it. I know that
You are always at work in the lives of the people around me. Let me
be a part of someone coming to know Jesus in a personal way.
I
pray for those who are grieving today. Give them strength.
