Focus: Psalms 16:11 - KJV
11. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Acts 2:22-28
After the rulers of the Jews committed Jesus Christ to the hands of the Roman government to kill, and the effect of redemption began to show through His immediate disciples, the first public sermon delivered by Peter to the Jewish congregation pointed them clearly to the path of life, being Jesus Christ whom they crucified. The wages of sin being death, and since all had sinned and fallen short of the glory of God by which all was susceptible to death, the traditions of the fathers were not able to deliver life to mankind. They were full of themselves seeking to occupy high positions among the people but not truly representative of God. But, the path of life as presented by Christ, is such that aligns with the thoughts and prophesies of some of the renowned fathers. Christ, by making known to us the ways of life as against death through sin, shall make us full of joy, with His countenance.
Life is sweet. Eternal life will definitely be spectacular. But the sweetness in life is only by the prescription of Christ in holiness and righteousness. In love and godly poise. Not through sinful maneuvers, lying to gain prominence and stealing the people dry or taking undue advantage of them. Doing so leaves one open to judgment in the hands of the Lord and that is not the kind of life that Christ has introduced. All those who fail to accept the life offered by Christ have decided for themselves to settle for the second death. For after men die in the body on earth, all those who fail to accept the ways of life offered by Christ shall end up in damnation with the devil and his team, which is the second death. Scriptures confirm that therein, there will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. That is not a state anyone should wish even his arch enemy. It is a place of devastation and regret. By the path of life offered by Christ, we are to avoid the same completely. So, what is the path of life? Believing Jesus as the only pointer to heaven and obeying His commands, which simply is love.
The Almighty God that has shown us the path of life in Christ shall sustain us in it in Jesus’ name. Every attempt of the devil to join us into the band of his team of the condemned shall be destroyed by the Lord in Jesus’ name. All the devices of the wicked over our lives shall fail and we shall have life and have it more abundantly indeed, in Jesus’ name. The Lord, through His Holy Spirit shall continue to teach us all things and bring to our remembrance the injunctions of Christ that lead to life, in the name of Jesus Christ. We shall end well in Jesus’ name.
SOLUTION: No other way is appointed unto man to have life except that prescribed by Christ. Stay in that way or path for life and life more abundantly.
