Download or read book The Lord s Agony for Us written by Daniel F. Owsley and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dare to read the story of our Lord's agony for us as well as His defeat over the forces of darkness Neither can anyone ever deny that our our most worthy Rock of the Ages walked the greatest walk while talking the purist talk that ever could have been talked by anyone. Nor can it ever be denied that our exalted Architect of the Foundation of the Age of Grace even divided mankind's calendar asunder. For it was always His job alone to split time in two as easily as He faithfully spread the good news of God's kingdom. But before any of that could ever come about He was fated to suffer big time, going through unbearable agony just because He loved mankind. And in spite of excruciating pain He willingly laid down His very own life so that others could find life. Even those that don't believe in our Lord of Life know that He made a bigger impact on our world than the largest meteor that ever hit it. Neither can any atheist ever dare to declare that our Living Star of Bethlehem hasn't had his name shining upon countless neon signs with the word "saves" underneath it. Furthermore, the name of Jesus, and his legacy, has survived throughout the darkest ages while setting free some of the darkest souls. 'twas also a most remarkable story with no past tense; For it still speaks very loudly of future days of bliss that shall surely pound our earth's ground with a fury of some very peaceful tranquillity. And it was our Lord of Always' passion alone that evermore set the tempo for all of creation to sing with gladness for His long awaited return. Therefore, this is both the beginning and end of His story and a look back at a blood soaked history that reveals it's most incredible climax! Nor does it matter what anyone thinks about Jesus; For it shall come to pass that every soul looking towards His glory can never again stand in His shadow; For His overflowing brightness shall never again allow any darkness.
Download or read book Crossroads of Agony written by Troy D. Ehlke and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt a dissonance between the joy-filled Sunday school messages and the difficult sayings attributed to Jesus in the scriptures? There is a movement in American churches today that separates the Gospel into two parts: attractive and repulsive. It is probably surprising for many to know that there is more in the latter category than in the former. Church leaders know that preaching about suffering and demanding personal sacrifice for the sake of discipleship is not going to win over many converts. In fact, people tend to leave and seek out worship centers that portray Christ in kinder, gentler ways. After all, how many of the most applauded preachers of the present generation focus on Jesus teaching of self-sacrifice? More likely, sermons emerge from a prosperity gospel where God will reward the faithful and give bountifully to those who believe. The problem with this movement is that it makes Christianity one-dimensional and shallow. When hardship becomes an unwelcome visitor in our lives, the gospel of rewards doesnt hold up or provide the slightest degree of comfort. Crossroads of Agony is an anti-thesis to the current trends in American Christianity by revealing the call to suffering that Jesus gives to all who wish to follow him. True discipleship must contend with all sides of the faith, not just the ones that make us smile or feel warm and fuzzy inside. Jesus came not to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34)! As believers, we need to embrace suffering and see the value that comes with hardship undertaken for the sake of the Gospel. This book launches its readership into an investigation of the early church through a survey of scripture, historical events, and emerging literature. Without studying the foundations of the church, contemporary communities of faith are adrift without a dependable point of reference. As Woodrow Wilson said, Those who do not know their past are doomed to repeat it. Our heritage is rich with tradition and reveals the highs and lows of human achievement. Our past is the key to unlocking a future that is keeping with Gods will. Crossroads of Agony exposes readers to a side of Christianity few opt to know about it, let alone use to guide their faith. Those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for knowledge will discover that suffering is recast in a different light through Jesus message. What most of us have been trying to run away from is in fact something Christ is calling us towards: a life of suffering for the sake Gods message of salvation. We run because we do not find any value in hardship, but instead see it as something life-draining. Jesus, on the other hand, finds immense value in suffering and even life-producing when undertaken with a spiritual purpose. Jesus puts his life on the line for this truth: Suffering yields lifelife that is everlasting. Crossroads of Agony is a look into the darker side of the faith, one meant for advanced Christians. The deepest truths of the faith are not attractive to the world (1 Corinthians 1:18-19), but are quite repulsive. Only when we find ourselves in the pitch black darkness of our faith heritage are we able to emerge into the light of the Gospel that shatters illusions and unites our souls with the divine. If we run from suffering, the best we can achieve is a superficial relationship with God because it means we still value our life above the Gospel. Jesus demands the opposite: the saving Word of God above all else. This level of faith development requires a new understanding of suffering, one where this world is seen as a testing ground, not the end. Reverend Troy Ehlke writes this text in the hopes that people will read it in small groups, devote time to discuss the questions at each chapters end, and develop a renewed sense of call to labor for the kingdom of God. While we experience distress in this lifetime, it is not without reward. In this world, we have the satisfaction that results from spreading the Wor

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is There a Purpose to Suffering And Loss? We only have to live to see or experience how agonizing life can be. We are surrounded by child abuse and neglect, starving families, premature deaths of those we love, natural disasters and global disease. How could a God worthy of respect and worship allow such a world to exist? There are no simple answers. But there is hope. For, claims author Jim McGuiggan, suffering may in fact be the last thing we expect–an expression of God’s wrath, which in turn is nothing other than his relentless, loving pursuit of us. If this is true, then suffering is a vital part of God’s work to redeem his creation. Give this claim a hearing, and you just might see the suffering world in a new way–a world shot through with glory and hope and assurance.

Book excerpt: Open any social media site or turn on the TV, and you come face-to-face with suffering: wars, cultural upheaval, the daily hurts and tragedies of life. Suffering can be overwhelming, so how do we meet it with Christian character and conduct? Oswald Chambers was no stranger to suffering, nor were the World War I soldiers who were the original audience of these talks.

It is the shadow of agony that leads us to the mystery of redemption.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ's Last Agony: His Seven Words "Then therefore Pilate delivered Him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led Him forth. And bearing His own Cross, He went forth to that place which Is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha. Where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the Cross. And the writing was: Jesus op Nazareth, the King of the Jews. This title, therefore, many of the Jews did read: because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city. And it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin." - (John xix. 16-20.) In Christ's Last Agony, there is the agony of every dying man. Hence it has a moral value for contemplation for every man that lives and will die. Christianity is the only creed that attempts to lend succor to suffering humanity, because it holds up the virtue of dignified composure even in the grasp of torture, manifested in Christ Who is both Eternal and Divine. It shows Him endowed with the virtue of courage at the crucial moment of the soul's struggle. When the tide of desolation reached the breaking point, He did not morally break, even though physically and literally He died of a broken Heart when the soldier plunged a spear in His Side: "They shall look upon Me Whom they have pierced." This fact, although it gives no thorough reason for the existence of suffering, at least manifests the comforting truth that Christ in some unthinkable and preeminent manner has suffered to the final degree of dereliction. He has shown us that there must be something sweet and meritorious even in the bitterness and indignity of human suffering. There is, moreover, solace in the thought, especially for the abandoned, the sick, the sorrowing and the lonely, that Christ, the Manifestation of God, has suffered and suffers with every suffering soul: "I will draw all things to Myself."
