Matthew 27

 

1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. 8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. 9Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.

11And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. 12And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. 13Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? 14And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. 15Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. 16And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 17Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? 18For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. 19When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. 27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. 28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him. 32And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

33And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 35And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36And sitting down they watched him there; 37And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, EliEli, EliEli, lamalama sabachthanisabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias. 48And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. 55And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: 56Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.

57When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus’ disciple: 58He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. 61And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. 62Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, 63Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. 64Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. 65Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. 66So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

 

Matthew 28

 

1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. 8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Once you have accepted Jesus as your savoir you become a child of God.  The next step you should take is to be Baptized.

Here is an Outline of some scriptures that support the Steps to salvation so you will know that the things we are telling you are true. Read these scriptures and you will not to have to just take our word for it.  The Bible says to Study the Scriptures to show thy self approved a workman that does not have to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of God.

FAITH

 

Faith ( or belief in Jesus )  about the things he said about him self or the things the scriptures said about him

John 14:1   Let not your heart be troubled ; you believe in God , believe also in me.

 

John 20:31  But these things are written, that you might believe  that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you might have life through his name

 

Acts 8:37 (The Ethiopian eunuch asked the apostle Phillip to be baptized) and Phillip said If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (and then he was baptized).

      

 

Acts 19:4 and 5 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is. on Christ Jesus.  When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

 

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on his name.

 

John 6:29  Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent ( Jesus)

 

John 6:69  and we believe and are sure that thou art the Christ the Son of God

 

John  (Jesus said )  I say therefore unto you that ye shall die in your sins, for if you believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

 

John 11:27 she said to him, Yea Lord I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of the God, which should come into the world.

 

Romans 10:9  That if ye  shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shall believe in thy heart that God has raised him from the dead, then thou be saved. and verse 10: for with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

1 Timothy 1:16  a pattern to them that should hereafter believe on him to everlasting life.

      

Hebrews 11:6  But without faith (BELIEF) it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is the rewarder to them that diligently seek him.

 

Mark 16:16  and he said unto them, go ye into the all the world and preach the Gospel ( the good news about Jesus) to ever creature.  He that believeth and is Baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be dammed. ( or cast into hell fire).

 

REPENTANCE 

 

Repent, Repentance (or be sorry for your sins,   confess to God that you have sinned and ask for forgiveness.  Ask him to help you forsake them)  and ask Jesus to come into your heart and be your Personal Lord and savoir.

 

Mark 1:15  The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of  God is at hand: repent ye and believe the Gospel.

 

Acts 2.38  Repent and be baptized ever one of you in the name of Jesus Christ  for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

BAPTISM

Baptism is the symbol of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.   Baptism alone without faith in Jesus or repentance will not save you. If you did not accept Jesus and His saving blood, yet you still were baptized you would go into the water a dry sinner and come up a lost wet sinner. 

 

Jesus did not say,  I suggest that you get baptized or it would be nice or I hope you don't mind being baptized .  He set the example when he was baptize by John in the Jordan river. John didn't feel worthy to baptize Jesus.  Jesus said to John let be so for it behoves us to fulfil all righteous. Jesus commanded it in the great commission, when he said go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptize shall be saved . He that believes not shall be dammed.

                      

                                                         How to Baptize

 

The scriptural examples were not sprinkling but by emersion.  You can be baptized by any born again believing sincere Christian. It does not have to be a preacher or a Priest.  Jesus said to baptize in the name of The Father, the Son and the Holy Sprit.

Stepping Out In Your Life With Jesus

 

Once you have become a born again Christian you should tell others about Jesus and pray for them.  Lead your family and loved ones, strangers or friends to Jesus Christ.  

 

Not every one will accept Jesus. Do not be discouraged if they don't God will use you to lead some love ones and family members into the Kingdom, Evangelize Study the Bible. 

 

Grow in the word share it with others. Read it to them if they will let you. The word of God is powerful and  sharper than a  two edged sword. It will penetrate the heart mind and soul. 

 

Pray constantly about little things and big things when you walk, before you go to sleep or when you wake up in the middle of the night.  You can whisper a prayer or pray silently when you work or when you drive your car or walk down the road. 

 

Make God your constant companion take all you problems to him he is your heavenly father you can talk to him like you could to the most kind and loving father.  

 

Ask Jesus to forgive you when you make a mistake. He will he loves to forgive.  

 

Ask him to help you to overcome bad habits.  He will help you. 

 

If you are having a hard time with your spouse or you are being mistreated by some one and life is difficult pray to him about it. He will improve your circumstances or give you the strength to live through the difficulties you temporarily find your self in.

GOD BLESS YOU AND HELP YOU TO FIND ETERNAL LIFE IN THE BEAUTIFUL KINGDOM OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SAVOIR OF THE GENTILES AND  MESSIAH OF ISRAEL

 

These scriptures tell you how to be saved and become a Christian with the promise of eternal life in Gods soon coming millennial kingdom.

 

MILLENNIAL KINGDOM

 

You can read all about the millennial kingdom where we will rule and reign with Jesus Christ for a thousand years here on earth.  

 

Click on one of the Bibles provided on this web site.  After you open the online Bible go to the book of Revelation, chapter 19.  

 

There in the 19th chapter, you will read about the return of Jesus Christ with the armies of heaven dressed in white robes.  These people on white horses following Jesus back to earth are none other than the saints of all ages who had accepted Jesus as their Savoir and were taken to heaven seven years before.  

 

In 1st Thessalonians chapter 4, verses 11 through 18, describes what Christians call the rapture of the church.  Where the believers through out all ages who have died are resurrected from their graves.  Born again believers in Christ who are alive on earth, are called up to heaven to remain with the Lord until he comes back on a white horse; and his believers follow him down to earth where he sets up his Kingdom, and rules the earth in peace and righteousness.  

 

The millennial kingdom will last for One Thousand years.  All the people that had a part in the first resurrection will be immortal and live forever with Jesus.  His temple and throne will be in his favourite city on earth, Jerusalem. 

 

The Jewish people of Israel will finally accept him as their King and the nation of Israel will be the head of all  nations of the earth.  The Jews will finally have peace and a greatly expanded territory.  People of all nations will go up to Jerusalem once a year to worship the Lord.  You can read the description and dimensions of the millennial temple and the boundaries in Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48.  God promised the land of Israel to the Jews.  They are the only nation who have a deed to their land from God the Almighty.  

 

Christ will renew the earth to its pristine environment as in the beginning or even better. The lion will lie down with the lamb and a little child can place his hand on the hole of the adder.  There will be no crime or death or sorrow in the Kingdom of Christ.  Satan will be cast into a bottomless pit and remain there for one thousand years. At the end of the thousand years Satan will be released for a short while, to temp the mortal people who have made it into the millennial kingdom. 

 

These mortals in the kingdom will have children and the earth will be populated again after two thirds of the earth perished during the seven year tribulation that followed the rapture of the church. 

 

These mortals that live in the millennial kingdom will be ruled by the immortal saints of God under the rule of Christ the King of King's and Lord of Lords.  Probably the reason Satan will be released for a short season is because the mortals that were born and lived in that period of time will not have been tempted by Satan.  So they will have to make their choice to follow Jesus or Satan just like everyone else through out history. 

 

You can read what happens to them and all the rest of the amazing events that follow, by going to the Bible on line and reading chapters 20 and chapter 21:1 of Revelation where you will read about the NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH

 

Read all the way to the end of chapter 22, it is beautiful beyond understanding.  God has said in the bible that, "Eye has not seen and ear has not heard nor has it entered into the heart of man the things God has laid up for them that love Him".  

 

Do not miss out.  

Accept Jesus today.  

Today is the day of salvation no one knows how long they will live in this life.  

 

We hope you will place us on your favourites list and continue to study and we will grow together in the Word of God.
