MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

We are looking at the names of God. There are many names that mean a great many things, for instance:  David means "man after God's own heart" and Emmanuel, means "God with us."

Jesus the  Author and Finisher of our Faith.  Heb 12;2,3

When we  name our kids, we try to give them something thats meaningful.  The names of God are like facets of the perfect diamond. The more you show it, the more the sun reflects the brilliance of that light!

In this world of turbulence and change, there are few things that we can count on!  Death and taxes, NO!.. more than that! Jesus not only is  God,but doesnt change!   He is the author and finisher of our faith.  We dont serve a dead person,  (Mohammed) Islam, Hindu, or some other religion.  We serve a risen Saviour!

MISSION ACCOMPISHED!  I dont know if you remember Peter Graves is the TV series Mission Impossible, but Jesus started  a movement when he went to the Cross, and  will finished it when he comes in Glory to Judge the world!  He is the Alpha and Omega the Begining and the End!  I am glad that He left the portals of glory to become as man.

I recently watched Tom Cruise in Ghost Protcol, the whole movie built toward a climax.. Tom was tasked with stopping a nuclear attack on America. Among his feats was playing Spiderman on the Burj Tower, in Dubai!  He was suspended from cables a thousand feet in the air, this tower was about 2700 feet high!.. Time after time, he was thwarted in catching the evil nemesis, Kurt Hendricks,(Soviet nuclear scientist)  but he persisted. With the help of his team,  he was able to thwart the nuclear missile and avert diaster.

A Greater tragedy was avoided at Calvary. When Christ uttered, 'It is Finished" and the battle was over. Galatians 2:15 says that Christ triumped over the forces of evil by by making an open spectacle of them at the Resurrection.

The  TAKEWAWAY:

We  already have declared  victory:  John says, Greater is  He that is in you, than he that is in the world! This victory should carry over into  our spiritual lives and our  personal and careers.  He accomplished the ULTIMATE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, and made it possible for every man and woman to spend eternity with Him.

WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO WE CAN FINISH!

A rebuke to me and many people.  You are known by what you finish and how well you finish.!

We have been  tasked with the greatest mission of all, not to save the world from nuclear disaster but to play a role in  saving the  world,sharing the gospel of the good news of salvation. Let us not fail to do this!

Read  Heb 12:2,3
