Meet Him in the Middle
“Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It’s a ghost!” and they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.” Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.” He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.” (Matthew 14:22-29 WEB)
There is a beautiful allusion to the Rapture in the passage above.
Jesus went up into the high mountain alone to pray, after sending the disciples ahead of Him.
This is like how He ascended to Heaven, and is now in God’s sanctuary in the heavenly Mount Zion, interceding for us before the Father.
On earth, we are sent by the Lord to share the Gospel. It is a stormy world tainted by sin and death.
Then, at a dark time in the world (fourth watch), Jesus will come for us, right before the worst (Great Tribulation) hits the earth.
He will come down from Heaven, to be in midair.
The archangel’s trumpet will sound, and at the final blast, the dead in Christ will be raised to life, and we (the saints) will all be transformed. Our mortal bodies will become immortal glorified bodies.
Then, we will be like Peter who went over to Jesus. Jesus will catch us up into the air, using the power by which He can subdue all things to Himself. We will meet Him in the middle—between Heaven and earth’s surface.
“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.” (Philippians 3:20-21 NKJV)
Instead of focusing on the wind and waves which will produce fear and anxiety, keep your eyes on Jesus in the Scriptures. His return is imminent, and every born-again believer will be going up!

tainted love 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的精選貼文
Free will is not a scam.
God already knew all the actions we would choose to take, and He planned His own actions to lead us all to the best possible outcome—probably the highest number of people being saved. That is what predestination is.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ; even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love; having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,” (Ephesians 1:3-5 WEB)
Predestination is not about how some people are made for Heaven and others are made to go to Hell.
God loves all of us. He made each and every one of us like an intricate embroidered work while we were in our mothers’ wombs. He designed us to be beautiful and unique.
“For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.” (Psalms 139:13-16 WEB)
Unfortunately due to the fall, the flesh is tainted by sin from conception and that is why people are born with deformities and flaws. God made you perfectly, but sin in the blood distorts what He designed.
An illustration to help you understand: you can be a great artist who draws beautiful pieces of digital art, but if your only printer is faulty, the art will still come out blotchy and ugly, with patches of ink splattered everywhere. Adam damaged the printer when he sinned against God.
“The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9 WEB)
It is clear in the New Testament that God’s will is for all to be saved through faith in Jesus Christ, but when you give “free will” to a creature, you must let it choose, even if it chooses the self-destructive path.
Even though He knew that not everyone would accept Jesus as Lord, Jesus still bore everyone’s sins at the cross, and was punished for them, so that the cross is truly an open invitation for salvation to all. No one has been excluded—anyone can receive salvation if they choose to place their faith in Jesus.
God can give unbelievers many opportunities to know the Gospel and experience His goodness, but He cannot force them to make Jesus their Lord and Savior.
For us believers, God leads us by His Spirit every day. He prompts us to do the right thing and teaches us about Himself through His Word. We still have free will, and we can choose whether to follow the Spirit, or to be driven by our flesh.
Following God’s leading will always bring you to the best possible outcome for your life. He has your eternity in mind, to confer you the best eternal rewards, so that your joy will be made full. We have a good Abba God, so obey His promptings and believe that He wants you to receive the very best!
In “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”, you will discover the rich eternal rewards that God has planned for you. There is a higher purpose, a calling upon your life, and complementary spiritual gifts to help you fulfill that. Redeem your time wisely for the Lord’s return is much nearer than before: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

Better than the Conscience
“Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”” (Genesis 3:22 WEB)
The ability to discern between good and evil is not a bad thing. God has this ability.
In a person, this ability is called the conscience. Man that has been tainted by sin cannot use the conscience properly because apart from Christ, they seek to build their own way to Heaven.
“They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”” (Genesis 11:4 WEB)
Mankind tried to build a high tower that reaches into Heaven, not submitting to the truth that faith in Yahweh is the only way into Heaven.
“For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” (Romans 10:3-4 WEB)
The conscience causes mankind to invent all sorts of philosophies in fleshly attempts to do good and earn their way into Heaven.
The conscience is the “law for righteousness” (the Ten Commandments) written in every man’s heart ever since Adam ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
This law tells us that whoever sins must pay for it with the penalty of death. It is a law that bringing consciousness of sin.
At the cross, Jesus’ allowed His blood to be shed, and He laid down His life, fully satisfying the demands of the Old Covenant of the Law. His divine blood paid for all of the sins of the world, and His death established the New Covenant of Grace.
Whoever places his faith in Jesus is set free from the Ten Commandments, and instead comes under Grace.
Instead of a law that brings consciousness of sin, God has written a new type of law in our hearts and minds.
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2 WEB)
It is called the law of Christ, and it is not the same as the law of Moses.
The law of Moses was the knowledge of sin, whereas the law of Christ is the knowledge of righteousness. The law of Moses is the consciousness of sin which produces the fear of death, whereas the law of Christ is the consciousness of God’s love which produces the desire to obey and follow the Holy Spirit.
““This is the covenant that I will make with them: ‘After those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;’” then he says, “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.” Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having a great priest over God’s house, let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water, let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:16-23 WEB)
Dear believer, God writes a new set of laws in your heart and mind. God said that He would remember your sins and iniquities no more, so the new laws cannot be the consciousness of sin like the Ten Commandments. The Old Covenant is different from the New Covenant.
Under Grace, the Holy Spirit writes in your heart and mind, producing the desire and ability to do good works that please God, not out of fear of punishment, but as a worshipful response to His love.
The law of Christ can be summarized in the apostle John’s words:
“This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.” (1 John 3:23 WEB)
It is the law of loving God and fellow Christians, as a response to the love that Jesus showed in His life. Nothing about sin. Meditate on the way Jesus loved His disciples and loved the world by dying on the cross, and His love will rise up in you to produce good works of love.
Our hearts must be sprinkled from an evil conscience that is still trying to earn and establish its own righteousness. The conscience in your flesh never got the memo! It still thinks that the sin debt is not paid, and that someone has to pay.
To sprinkle your conscience means to fill your heart with the truth that the blood of Christ is the final payment for sins. We have boldness when we approach God because of the blood of Christ and not because we have paid for the sin debt on our own.
We have something better than the conscience. We have the Holy Spirit inside us and He leads us by the law of Christ. Instead of fear, we are motivated by love. Follow after love!!
Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.
By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord!

With heavy feet, I walked a muddy road that led wherever
Somehow I pushed my way through thorny groves and stormy weather
I’d eaten everything in sight I thought looked edible
And when at last I came out of the end of that long tunnel
I was surrounded by a sea of unfamiliar colors
And realized my journey here had only just begun
My heart was poisoned with the words
“I don’t care, nothing matters anymore”
Now my heart once tainted roams free
A song of springtime
Echoes on high bringing promises of hope and love
Oh, can you hear it
From where you are reflected in the sky far above?
I pushed myself too far, pretending everything was alright
Wanted to scream, but smiled and held it in with all of my might
But that façade is now unshrouded in the morning light
I’d started to forget your name
One thing I never wanted to erase
Now once again my fingers trace it
A song of springtime
Echoes around me as hope and love grow from its seeds
Don’t let the road end
Let me continue to follow wherever it leads
I will just keep walking on
Just as the ape I am, on my own
There is no illusion now
As I go down this road, oh
春の歌 愛と希望より前に響く
haru no uta ai to kibou yori mae ni hibiku
聞こえるか?遠い空に映る君にも
kikoeru ka? tooi sora ni utsuru kimi ni mo
春の歌 愛も希望もつくりはじめる
haru no uta ai mo kibou mo tsukuri-hajimeru
遮るな 何処までも続くこの道を
saegiru na doko made mo tsuzuku kono michi wo
