JESUS PAID IT ALL: JULY 12 – 18, 2023

To Cruise With Love vessel had more learners than anticipated. The captain was hoping for a group size to discuss

the message of Salvation and the importance of being Born Again. The topic will be the same all week. Captain just thought the learner would get the revelation better in a smaller group. As God planned, again, All Things Worked Out For Good!!

The vessel sailed to the port cities of Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts.

Captain was so excited to share the Gospel and let the learners know that they don’t receive eternal life with Jesus because they didn’t rob, steal, kill; drink, smoke, do drugs; engage in immoral conduct or break one or all of the Ten Commandments. You don’t receive eternal life because you did good deeds, or you were a good person. You get to spend eternity with Jesus because you accepted Jesus’ Sacrificial Atonement; God’s plan for Salvation, which is why God sent His only begotten Son Jesus (Acts 4:12) to take on our sinful life in exchange for His sinless life.

After sharing the Good News, the captain opened the discussion for questions and comments. One learner asked, “If Jesus shed His blood, died, was buried and raised for us what else is there for us to do?” The captain shared with the group that all of God’s creation has “Free Will” therefore You Must Be Born Again accordi

ng to John 3:3,5 and Roman 10:9-10.

As the vessel sailed the learners watched a short video; Come, Follow Me?

Another learner asked, “If Jesus lives in our body why do we sin and do bad things?” Captain shared that Jesus does not live in our body. Jesus ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of Our Father who sent Him. Jesus’ Word lives in us (John 1:1,14), through the Holy spirit whom our heavenly Father gave us (John 14:16-17), we

are not alone and Holy Spirit knows all Spiritual things. Our Father gave us the Holy Spirit to help us understand and navigate the path of our spiritual journey, which we cannot process with our brain and five senses.

On the return voyage. The learners watched another short video; The Road To Emmaus. There were many questions. Some learners even admitted they were fearful that God would not forgive them and punish them for their sins. Captain shared Romans 5:8, That while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. He quoted the scripture (Romans 3:23) reminding the learners all have sinned, but the wages of sin was death (Romans 6:23). Captain said that Jesus communicates with all souls th

rough the written Word (Matthew 4:4). The Good news is not just what Jesus did on the Cross at Calvary. The Holy Bible is filled with promises from God and the purpose God has for our lives. However, many people do not even read the Bible to know what God is personally saying to us. The process of growing spiritually is ongoing.

As Born Again Believers we have committed our lives to live for God; to be His hands, feet, mouth and heart. We are to Love like our heavenly Father Loves (KHESED). John 14:12, Jesus said the works He did we are to do those same works also. How is that possible? Get connected with Holy Spirit and develop our relationship so we can hear and see spiritually; however, we must read the Bible. It is so vital that we fellowship with likeminded Believers; then we will have our mind renewed by the Word of God (JESUS), to the things of the Spirit and grow in the knowledge of God.

This was a great week of excursions. We had many

learners who accepted Jesus’ Sacrificial Atonement and signed up for To Cruise With Love online Discipleship Training class. Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). Without the Believers to reach them they cannot hear the Good News. Remember those who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior will not have their name in written in the Book of Life. They will be doomed to hell and on to the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:15).

When this life on earth is over there is a new life (Hebrews 9:27).

Just as one needs food to survive and thrive, every one also need food for their soul. Psalm 34:8 says, O taste and see that the Lord is good. With that scripture all were invited to the gift shop to purchase food for themselves or others who needs spiritual nourishment.

The banner in the gift shop read:

WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ENTERNITY? IF NOT IN HEAVEN, THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS HELL AND ON TO THE LAKE OF FIRE WHICH IS FOREVER!!!

As the learners departed from the vessel the crew asked them individually if they knew at least three people whom they would share the good news with? The answers were a resounding yes and for sure as they stated the names or a scripture they would share.
