THE MIRACULOUS RELEASE OF THE APOSTLES

Acts 5:19-20

An angel of the Lord came at night and let them out of the prison and said "Go stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life".

JESUS LEFT A LEGACY BEHIND

ACTS 2

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them cloven tongues like tongues of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit spoke through them.

WHY DID THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE SPLIT?

Mark 15 tells us about the death of Jesus Christ. Jesus was crucified. His death was significant because it opened the Way for sinners to come to God. (this was indicated by the Veil splitting.)

The Veil of the Temple
Following the death of Jesus Christ, the Veil of the temple was split in two.
Mark 15 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
35And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
36And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
38And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

The Bible tells us that "Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life"

John 14:5-7 (King James Version) 5Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

JESUS LOVES US ALL

Jesus loves every one of us, even if you are not a Christian.
He went to the Cross for the sins of all mankind. Jesus has
left all of us with a spirit of Discernment, which is the Holy Spirit,
who shows us what is right or wrong. He gives us all free will to
follow Him or not.
This Holy Spirit is an internal spirit, evident in our consciences.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, that gives light to every man
that comes into the world.

Even as Christians we are Sinners, Jesus went to the Cross
for ALL Sinners
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
make us clean and pure again.

FAITH AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED

Matthew 17:14-21

20And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief, for truly I tell you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Leave this place and go over there and it shall move, and nothing shall be impossible for you.
21 However you can only do this by prayer and fasting.

JESUS WANTS US TO SURRENDER TO HIM

John 12
24Truly, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

Exodus 20 1And God spake all these words, saying,
2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13Thou shalt not kill.
14Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15Thou shalt not steal.
16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

GOD's Power is Supernatural way beyond man's power

Exodus 14

10And when Pharaoh approached, the children of Israel looked up, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
11And they said to Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? why have you dealt so with us, to carry us out of Egypt?
12Is not this the word that we did tell you in Egypt, saying, Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
13And Moses said to the people, Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
14The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
15And the LORD said to Moses, Why do you cry out to me? speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
17And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
20And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
23And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.
26And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
29But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.
30Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

THE HOLY BIBLE

Jesus loves us all and wants us all to be saved.
That is why He gave us the Holy Bible to follow
as a guideline to get closer to Him.
