With Thanksgiving upon us here again in 2019, I am reminded more than usual on how much I have for which to be thankful. Even in this imperfect world, God has still blessed us to live in a country where we are free. Here in the United States, I am still free to write a blog such as this which might only reach a few and yet encourage someone that there is still hope and that there is a Living, Righteous, Holy God on the Throne seeking to draw all men and women to his peace. My art piece today is a pen and ink rendition depictating the Lord Jesus Christ having torn the veil in twain that any may enter for salvation. Anyone can be saved from the penalty of death by placing their repentant faith in what Christ did on the cross-ANYONE, be they black,white, Asian, Latino, rich, poor, conservative, liberal, communist, sane or insane...no matter how sinful..."Christ receiveth sinful men". John wrote, to born again believers the following:
"...And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." from 1 John 2:1. Hence, the title of my piece is "The Advocate"... Christ is the High Priest, mediator...the Lawyer for all who come to Him as He appeals to The Father, God Almighty - thus saving us from the justified wrath of the Lord God himself. This is a reality for which I am...Thankful. |
