'No Barriers Allowed' - Matthew 27:51-53

When Jesus died, the curtain in the temple was torn into two pieces. The tear started at the top and tore all the way to the bottom. Also, the earth shook and rocks were broken. All the graves opened, and many of God's people that had died were raised from death. Those people came out of the graves. After Jesus was raised from death, those people went into the holy city (Jerusalem), and many people saw them.

Matthew 27:51-53

Key Thought
There comes a time when God has to do something dramatic to help get it through people's hard heads and hard hearts that they just don't get it. Jesus came to fulfill all that Judaism was intended to mean. Jesus came to bring all the blessings that God had promised to bring. Jesus came to save all those who are willing to come to him and be saved. This is the dawning of a new age and a new covenant and the fulfillment of God's promises to his people. Jesus doesn't want barriers between people, especially racial ones and religious ones. He wants us to come to him and find unity in his Lordship.
The time is now. The Gospel must triumph so all people can come to feast at God's table and enjoy the blessings of his salvation.

Today's Prayer
Forgive me God, when I have let my own prejudices, narrow-mindedness, or hard heart block me from having active and ongoing fellowship with other believers. I know Jesus came and brought something fresh and new and that all peoples need it. Please help me see, and then act upon, those special moments of opportunity to bless others in Jesus' name and bring them closer to you! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

    I thank everyone for their prays, it really means a lot to me to have people of God standing with me during this sad time. I know with all my heart God is real and I know he is coming back for us. God has been with me for so many things. For so long I pray for a husband and God answered that pray. I am working hard to manage my patience and know God is in control. I am being a good wife praying and staying committed to my marriage convent. I have no idea what my husband is doing, I wonder everyday if he is praying for us or has he moved on to other women. I don't feel like God want us to be divorce, so many things has hindered movement in the case. I remember the day he went to file for divorce, I was sitting on the sofa when he attempted to leave the house, his car would not start that morning, he would go on to get a friend to pick him us but I felt that car not starting was a sign from God this was not suppose to be happening. Lord, please do your will in Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen!
