THE WORD FOR 25/4

The Bible says that Solomon was the wisest man in all the earth. How can such a wise man turn away from His God. 

Deuteronomy 17: 18-20 says that a king who sits on the throne has to write down God's law, and read it all the days of his life, that he may fear the Lord and not turn away from God's commandments. Apparently Solomon failed to follow this commandment. In the same chapter God instructs kings not to have many wives lest they turn their hearts away from God. Solomon obviously did not pay attention to this commandment either. As a result he became a slave to every kind of vice under the Sun. If the wisest man on earth could be lured to the path of sin,  so can we. We must be vigilant to guard our hearts and minds. We must be steadfast to abide in Jesus, lest we fall away. Jesus said apart from Me you can do nothing. Let us diligently study God's word, obey it  and cling to Jesus and live lives that is pleasing in His sight.

Tetelestai

This word is what's translated as "completed" in John 19:28 and "It is finished" in John 19:30. These are the only times this word is used in the Bible, and it means that something is done, and done forever. It can't be undone, in the same way that if you complete a race you can't unrun it, or if you bake a cake you can't unbake it.

Tetelestai is also the word that was written on receipts in New Testament times to indicate that the amount owed was paid in full.

We don't have to bear the separation from God that our sin causes. We don't have to bear the punishment we so richly deserve. Jesus paid our debt. He took it all on himself because he loves us.

He is God, and he loves us.

(It boggles my mind to think about - I'm like David, sitting down and saying in complete bewilderment, "who am I, that you would do this?")

The forces of evil cannot undo what Jesus did on the cross. We cannot earn or add to what Jesus did on the cross.

Tetelestai.

It is finished.

“Humble yourself, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” - 1 Peter 5:6-7

[oneredezrookie]

Luke 15:7, "There is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who were righteous and haven't strayed away!"

i was thinking about this verse recently and wondering.. how different it would be if people could see just how important they are to God. so important in fact that the Creator of the universe, an everlasting Being, came down Himself to experience death to set us free from Death. if you were the only human needing redemption, He would have gone through it all just for you.

it's up to you to accept or reject this payment on your behalf. there's no way to pay it yourself, you can never be "good enough" to make it to Heaven. He took on your punishment for you and only His sacrifice absolves you from it. if you reject Him, He will honor that decision, and you'll spend eternity separated from Him and all joy, light, and happiness. not because He's cruel, but because all good things stem from the Lord. there is no life without Jesus Christ.

the experience of the man in this comic is actually based on many testimonies i've listened to. people cried out to Jesus, and either saw or felt His love and were changed. don't wait! you have the entirety of Heaven cheering you on, longing for you to join our family. the hole in your heart can only be filled by the Holy Spirit's Presence. don't reject your opportunity to experience God's wonders forever, in a reality far greater than Earth could ever hope to be.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Super old doodles to remind myself at the very least that I draw sometimes….. and it's been a long time.

It's a Mario Day! Here's all my Super Mario art so far

[oneredezrookie]

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama. A unique inspiration

[oneredezrookie]

Have you ever drawn a human jolt before? Or any human Sonic characters at all? I feel like maybe you have, but I can't remember.

(love your art btw! Jolt is one of my favorite Sonic fan characters ever ❤️)

I have! You can see the messy sketches for initial ideas of their gijinka forms here.

TBH these sketches are better as first passes, not a final design. IMO, humanized Sonic characters should utilize the initial influences that guided the overall sonic aesthetic creation so it still felt timeless and recognizable and not "humans wearing a sonic suit". Which is a really tall order and one I've not had time to attempt more seriously.

There was another pass from years back that was never posted (kinda forgot haha). Still not "it" but feels a bit better and was still fun to explore.

(Trying to not make their human forms look like Yu-Gi-Oh GX rejects is quite difficult.)

And thank you for your kind words!!! You are a blessing dear anon. So grateful that you like Jolt so much. Especially since its been so long since continuing her story. Everyone's patience really helps. ;A;

Titus 2:14 

He gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us His very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds.

You don’t have to live with guilt, regret, or shame anymore. Too many people are stuck with memories from their past that they can’t get over. Either you’ve been hurt and have resentment or you’ve hurt someone else and you have guilt. God doesn’t want you to carry that heavy baggage throughout your life. He wants you to be free. 

That is why He carried your sin, sickness and shame on the cross of Calvary.

Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay. Jesus paid it all!

1 John 4:8

“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

For many people who are single, this day is a day of pain, a bitter reminder of their singleness and desire for a relationship. But I want to remind you that 'God is love' and He doesn't leave out anyone, whether single or otherwise.

God loves you so much. If you were the only one on earth He still would have sent His son for you.

So, remember to set your eyes on Jesus, who loves far more fully and abundantly than we could ever imagine. He died to know you, to reconcile you to God, to give you life and life more abundantly.
