Beloved, in conclusion of our theme, “The Hiding Place from the Wind” – the converted soul is quickened by the life – the Holy Ghost – which is in Christ Jesus, for the scripture says that “In him was life” (John 1:4) and “[life] more abundantly” (John 10:10). Therefore, if you want to really live life to the fullest, it must be done in “the hiding place” of Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Precious Ones, I saw this new movie that everyone in the country seems to be in a frenzy over – “The Passion.” This movie depicted the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Amidst the gory presentation, which was in line with scripture, one message was prevalent – the Blood of Jesus procured our salvation. Remember, scripture tells us that “without shedding of blood is no remission [of sin]” (Hebrews 9:22). Therefore, our only hope of being redeemed comes by “hiding” under Jesus’ Blood by faith, with confidence that it has enough power to “cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (I John 1:9). It was necessary for Jesus to suffer for our sins on Calvary, although He was innocent of any crime.
Chosen Ones, in conclusion, nothing less than God’s own plan will satisfy or avail. We know that the Word of God is true. There is no book other than The Bible that shows us the true way to God and heaven. The Bible is the only Book that “hides us from the winds of death.” The Bible will “protect” us from the storms that are coming in our lives – storms that have not yet been identified. In fact, Isaiah said, “a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind.” For those who trust Him, God will be “the shadow of a great rock in a weary land” (Isaiah 32:2).
Next week, I will write from a new subject. Until then, know this…
I love you all SO very much.
In His Love,
Pastor William L. McCoy
