Luke 2:34 Greek Translation: “And Simeon (Priest) blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold this child (Jesus), is set as a foundation to be taken up and used fulfilling the law for the benefit of men for the fall and rising or resurrection of the body from the grave for many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against.” Comment: Everyone will be resurrected from the dead! Some to everlasting life and some to everlasting judgment! Jesus fulfilled the law by taking our sin and the judgment of death for it on a Cross taking the penalty for us! Jesus sacrificed himself for your benefit! Whether we fall or rise will be based upon what we do with Jesus! Accept his sacrifice or reject it! Salvation or judgment! If you take your own judgment there is no escape! Because he took your judgment he has the exclusive right to judge the living and the dead! Jesus is a sign that shall be spoken against? You would think everyone would be delighted to escape Hell! Why would people gamble with their soul and eternity? Life is short but eternity forever! What was true in the 1st Century is true in the 21st Century! If Jesus was just a myth concocted in the 1st Century why is he so vehemently opposed in the 21st Century? This confirms that Jesus is the way, truth and life and no man comes to the Father but by him! So which group do you belong? The falling or the rising? King Herod made his choice! Judas made his choice! Like Jesus spoke of Judas if you reject the Son of God it would be better you had not been born! In the 21st Century the progressive political left has joined King Herod and Judas! The political conservative right has embraced Jesus! Nothing has changed in twenty Centuries because Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
