ALONG THE WAY...

Welcome to "Along The Way"-1 of 11 ...

Hello, thanks for visiting us today-please feel welcome and at home here....
We would like to introduce ourselves-our names are Geoff and Dot, and live in Gloucester,England.
Dot and I met on a Christian holiday in Majorca, and have now been married since July 1999....
We are in our early 50's, but still feel young!.....at home lives Heidi, a lovely white-tabby cat adopted from an animal sanctuary in January 2000.
Dot is a nurse, while I do electronics assembly work.....and both attend a Reformed Baptist (Free Evangelical) Church and primarily seek to be a help, and Encouragement to other people in witness to the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.....

This Gospel is GOD'S Offer of Salvation and Forgiveness to all the Human Race, and is written about in the pages of the Bible, which is the Word of GOD to all mankind, and it's message is vital for every person to know and understand, and act upon.
Many people do not know, so a brief outline would be of benefit..........

The Bible tells of GOD'S Creation of the World, Mankind, and all in it, and all the Universe.

Then of SIN because of Man's DISOBEDIENCE to GOD, in listening to SATAN'S deceiving voice.

Then GOD expelling them from EDEN, and the increase of wickedness, culminating in GOD'S Flooding of the World, only saving 8 Righteous People in Noah's Ark.

After the Flood, these saved 8 People repopulated the Earth, but SIN was still interwoven in Man's breeding and make-up.

Hereon we see GOD'S Plan of SALVATION unfolding, through His Chosen People, ISRAEL.
They were constantly turning away from HIM, and most of The OLD TESTAMENT is devoted to their rebellion, and GOD'S Desire in bringing them back to Himself, through the various Prophets, and Messengers from Himself.

In The Old Testament, GOD Promises a SAVIOUR for His People, and for ALL Mankind, through the Lineage of King David.

Eventually, all Prophecies are fulfilled in The NEW TESTAMENT, in The Birth of The MESSIAH, and OUR SAVIOUR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

He grew up and lived a SINLESS Life, and was Crucified and ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR OUR SINS, to be the SAVIOUR of all who will REPENT, TURNING AWAY COMPLETELY FROM THEIR SINS and Receive Him UNRESERVEDLY as their SAVIOUR and LORD, by FAITH.

The New Testament also contains Practical help for Christian Living, and ends in The Book of Revelation with the Vision of John The Divine, telling of the Future of The World, and of us all.............

............Most people in the world seek to be secure and cared for...there are 3 verses from the Bible that are a great help...the words of The Lord Jesus Christ...

1. I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life....

2. Whosoever comes to Me, I will never, never cast out.....

3. I will never leave you , or forsake you.

What words of assurance and hope to all who TRULY receive The Lord as their Saviour from sin.

"Jesus! the Name to sinners dear,
The Name to sinners given,
It scatters all their guilty fears,
It turns their Hell to Heaven...
O that the World might taste and see,
The Riches of His Grace,
The Arms of Love that compass me,
Would All Mankind Embrace!"

Jesus Said: "Strive to enter in at the Strait Gate..."
Luke 13 : 24.

I WAS A STRANGER, AND YOU INVITED ME IN.
Welcome to "Along The Way"...Page 3 of 11 .....,During our journey throughlife, we all meet many types of people; some we forget, and some remain in our memories, for varied reasons.
Some are not as they appear to be---I would like to briefly tell you of one such meeting--- before Dot and I met, one of my holidays was at Palma ,Majorca (it is our favourite island)- and while strolling down to the harbour, I crossed paths with a fellow staggering about, with a ghetto-blaster radio on his shoulders.
I confess I cringed at this sight- but he surprised me by putting his hand on my shoulder, and immediately felt comfort and reassurance in me, yet ashamed of my reaction to this stranger.
After His crucifixion, the disciples of The Lord Jesus, were walking along the road to Emmaus, near Jerusalem, feeling downcast at the events of recent days.
They were joined by a stranger, also going their way.....he talked a lot with them, and as the day was drawing to a close, they invited him to stay in their house with them.
Only during the meal, when he took bread, blessed and broke it, did they recognise it was The Risen Lord Jesus Christ. (Ref. Luke 24:13-32)
The Lord's Greatest Commandment is to love oneanother (Ref. John 13:34)...yet so often it is the hardest thing to do....Is The Lord Jesus a stranger to you?...He invites you to come to Him and find rest and peace in Him. (Ref. Matthew 11:28)

"Behold! I bring Tidings of Great Joy, which will be to all people...."
Welcome to "Along The Way"-Page 7 of 11 .... Our title heralds a glorious announcement which has changed Man's history and destiny since it happened 2000 years ago... The incredible scene happened in fields at Bethlehem, before a group of ordinary shepherds looking after their sheep at night... Suddenly, before their very eyes,AN ANGEL OF THE LORD appeared in dazzling splendour... They were dreadfully afraid, but HE told them not to fear, and then announced that"There is born to you this day in the City of David, a Saviour, who is Christ The Lord."
Then a host of Heavenly angels appeared, Praising and Glorifying God.....Thereafter, the Shepherds ran and found the BABY JESUS lying in a lowly manger, just as the Angel had said.
We are tempted not to believe when we see all the evil things that happen in the world ... Why does God allow this ? , is a common question.... Yet God is Sovereign, and is still in control of all things...these events in Bethlehem are true and did happen, and are for all people in the world.
Much has been written and composed around these events--wonderful Classical music, such as "For unto us a child is born", from Handel's "Messiah", inspire us to continue along the pilgrim way.
Later on in his life, the CHILD JESUS was taken by His earthly parents to the Temple in Jerusalem, where there was a Just and Devout man named SIMEON...
THE HOLY SPIRIT had revealed to SIMEON that he would not die until he had seen THE LORD'S CHRIST: ....SIMEON took the Child Jesus in his arms, blessed God, and said:

"LORD, now you are letting your servant depart in peace. according to Your Word....for my eyes have seen Your Salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all peoples.
A Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people, ISRAEL." (Ref. Luke 2)

Thus we see that SALVATION is offered to us--we must take The Lord and His Salvation for ourselves....Please (click>)NEXT PAGE.
