    God is great

    alot happened since i last wrote an entry so i'm just going to chop into it.
     
    First of all, started TAFE last week doing automotive which is really good. Learnin heaps from it, at the moment only basic stuff like putting cars on hoists, taking wheels, putting wheels together, indetifying parts under the car and changing oils. Yeah its quite good. making some good friends aswell, i like it.
     
    What else, ah yes, did youth group on Sunday. That went really really well aswell, although in the small groups two of the guys weren't really focused at all, always getting trailed off, looking at eachother and being silly, but its like, just have to deal with it as best i can i guess, its really fun though, i feel kinda like a teacher, confiscating stuff, tellin people to be quiet (all of this is in a God loving way) and yeah its good. Also prepared for scripture teaching with Micheal and Pauly, that should be fun, but very hard aswell, but God is with me, "I can do everything in Him who gives me strengh" Phillipians 4:13, what a great verse!
     
    I think its so so amzing how Jesus died for us. He was tempted in everyway. God could of and should of just destroyed us. We reject Him, We forget Him and we use His name in vain
     
     
    Jesus' crucifixion  
    35The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One."

     36The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar 37and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself."

     38There was a written notice above him, which read:|sc THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

     39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"

     40But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."

     42Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[a]"

     43Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

     

    we mocked Him, divided up His clothes, put the nails in his arms, and stood Him before us and laughed at Him. Laughed at His death and accused Him of something He didn't do. He went through all of that for us! after we did that to Him He still died for us and He still loves us so so much. If we have faith in Him then we can be saved and forgiven for all of this. Just like one of the criminals next to Him.

    "We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong"

    "Remember me Jesus when you enter your kingdom". This criminal had faith in Jesus, he knew of who Jesus was thus saying, YOUR kinkgdom. To which Jesus answered to him

    "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise".

     

    If we believe in Jesus then we can be forgiven and have enternal life with Him! That is the amazing and awsum gift He has given us!

    Awesome entry. wow - it's so true. There is God's Kingdom...and we're part of it! We belong to God because of Jesus. wow! God's amazing grace- we are imperfect just like that criminal- we are criminals ourselves in that we are the reason Jesus died....He died for us because He love us. Amazing love.
    One day we will be with Jesus - our Lord and Saviour- in PARADISE!SO SO undeserved.
