VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Salvation ... Simply Put!

Soooo .... What Do You Say That I Need Salvation From?

Simply Put
You Need Christ's Sure Salvation
To Escape Sin's Sure Damnation!

Wait A Minute!
You're Moving A Bit Too Fast!

How Did Damnation Get In This Conversation?! 
Start From The Beginning
Talk Real Slow
And Don't Stutter!

Okay. No Problem!

You Repeatedly Tell Anybody
And Everybody
How Much You Like Nice Things
And The Things That Are Good For You!

Sure, I Do!
Only The Very Best Will Do For My Foooine Self!

In That Case
- And Because You Are So Fine ... In Your Mind
But Not In The Sight Of The Lord -
You May Want To Take A Gander
At The Living Word Aka Your King James Bible!

Money ... Burns!
Possessions ... Burn!
Unrepentant Sinners ... Burn!

Pardon Me, But
I Am NOT A Sinner!

I May Occasionally Make Truth Turn Expediency Corner 
By Frequently Indulging In A Miniscule White Lie!
I May Occasionally Avail Myself Of A Five-Finger Discount!

Everybody Does The Bed Hop! 

They're One Or Two Persons That I May Perhaps Probably 
Might Want Desire To Cause To Abruptly Exit Life! 
I May Worship My Beemer
And Even Myself In Every Store Window
And I May Be Accused Of Rampant Covetousness
BUT
I Strenuously Repeat
I Am NOT A Sinner!

You Poor, Poor, Poooor, Baby!
Upon What Have You Been Feeding Your Fine Mind?

Somehow, I Don't Think That I Care For That Tone In Your Voice!

I Stand Corrected!
Permit Me To Try Again!

Say On! 

In Bajan Parlance
You Ain't Nutten But A Greasy Pork-Mout' Sinner
AND
Your Own Fine Words Convict You!

Don't You Know That If You Break One Of God's Commandments
You Are Guilty Of Them All
AND
As A Result
You Surely Need The Perfect Doctor
For What Surely Ails You!

You Need Yourself, Dr. Jesus
The Great Physician
The Great I AM
The Good Shepherd
The Rock Of Ages
The Purveyor Of Peace
Who Dispenses
Rest And Relief!

When You Attend His Clinic
He Checks Your Eyes
Your Ears
Your Tongue
Your Heart
AND
Even The Soles Of Your Feet!

He Dispenses That Medicine
That Is Cure-Fuh-All
Where Confession Is A Purgative
Repentance Is Recuperative Juice
Forgiveness Is Healing Balm
AND
Walking In Obedience
Is The Only Way To Acquire Eternal Youth!

He Sends All Patients On An Errand
Where Mercy Is Free
AND
Grace Is For The Way
AND
All Who Will To Do The Will Of The Father
Get A Guaranteed Ration Of
Faith For The Day!

And ...

Best Of All
He Gives To All Comers Of His Spirit Holy
To Teach And Lead
And Guide And Chide
AND
An Excellent Member Of His Support Staff
Named Angel Excelling-In-Strength
Is Provided To You For A Constant Companion
And A Guardian
And An Influencer To Ever Do Good!

This Must Be Understood! 

Dr. Jesus Is Gloriously Amazing!
He Is Guaranteed Always On Time!
He Is The True And Very Present Help!
AND
As Long As You Invest Your Trust And Belief
In His Merits
If You Die The Appointed-Unto-Man Death
He Is The Almighty Power
AND
He Will Call You Up From The Grave
On The Great And Glorious Day Of Vengeance And Redemption!
All Men Choose Which Side Of The Day Is Their Reward!

All His Patients Have Cards
Marked
Justified! Sanctified!
AND
They Are All Signed
With The Precious Blood Of The Sacrificed Lamb!

I'll Let You In On The Secret ...

All Who Remain Faithful
Taking The Medicine As Stipulated
AND
Doing As He Wills
Will
- In The Day Of Appointment -
Get The New Name
White Robe
Victor's Palm
Gold Crown With Stars
Gold Harp
Eternal Life
Immortality
A Home In Glory
AND
Whatever Else He Desires To Give!

 Know This  ...

Oh, My!
That Sounds Fantastic!
But ... What Is ... All Of This ... Going To Cost ... Me?!

Simply Put ... Your Heart!
You Agree To Live For Him
So That You Will Die In Him!

Is It Going To Hurt?!

Death?!

No!
Living For Him?!

Simply Put ... Yes!

Oh, Dear!
I Do Want What He Has
But I. Don't. Like. Pain!
Oh, Dear!

If You Honor
Trust
Worship
Obey
Pray Without Ceasing
Live In Faith
AND
Keep In And Believe The Word
The Pain Will Be A Small Matter!

Dr. Jesus Will Not Leave You Alone
Nor Forsake You!
He Is The Savior And The Redeemer
The Healer And The Sealer
AND
He Is Always Just A Prayer Away!

Please, I Beseech You ...

Whatever You Do
Do Not Doubt!
Do Not Worry!
Ask For Wisdom!
Ask For Faith!
Ask For Grace!
Live In Hope!
Heed The Word!
Deny The Liar!
Speak The Truth!
Do Good!
Do Not Walk In The Light Of Your Own Eyes!
Be Sober!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Wholly Trust Him Solely
AND
All Things Will Work
For Your Good!

Okay. I'll See Him!
Do I Need An Appointment To Meet With Him?!

No! Not At All!
He Is Here!

Here?! Now?!

Yes!
I'll Leave You Two Alone!

Oh, Dear. Oh, Dear!
Do I Have To Call Him, Doctor
Or Can I Just Say ...

Dear Jesus ....!

Great Minds Think Alike!

Amen!

Three Weeks Later ... 

Heyyyy! How Are You?! 

I Am Fine! Really, Really, Truly, Fine!

Wow! Do Tell! 

Faithful Is Our God!

Satan Is The Fraud!

Truth Is Our Shield

And Our Faith In Christ Jesus
Will Sure Salvation Yield!

Eyesight Is Great!

Spiritual Eyesight Is Glorious!

Let Us Despise Neither

And Let Us Let God Be Our Leader!

I Am Well, And I Am Praising The Eternal God!

Bless God! Bless God!

Dr. Jesus ... And The Issue Of Sin!

Particular Sins
Are Now Called Medical Conditions
Which The Medical Fraternity
Can Shore Up
BUT
Not Cure!

Those Who Have These Conditions
Are Never Told
About The For-Real Dr. Jesus
The Great Physician 
Who
At The Will Of His Father
Knocked Sin For Six
On The Cross
At Jerusalem Of Yore!

Upon Examination
Of The Vilest Offender
Dr. Jesus
Calls The Sin By Its Given First
AND
Only Name
AND
Prescribes
Confession AND Repentance
Before The Father
In The Name Of The Holy One 
Who
For That Same Sinner
Did Willingly Die!

Thereafter ...

The Patient Is Prescribed:

• A Change From Past Associates
• A Falling Away From Bad Habits AND Offending Deeds
• Assessed A Guardian Angel

AND

• Ordered A Straight Obedience To The Tenets Of The Good Book

AND

• Encouraged To Stand Fast AND Close To The One Who Was Stricken For Our Ungodly Deeds Done While Living In Sin's Hood!

The Sinner Now Saved
Is Cautioned 
To Pray Earnestly
Without Ceasing
To Fill His House
- Swept Of Unclean Spirits -
With The Holy Ghost
Available 
By Invitation-Only Request!

That Sinner - Now Saved
Is Required 
To Willingly Let The Holy Spirit Lead
AND
To Walk By Faith
- Not From Fear -
For He Has Holy Angels
To Guard And Guide
As In Jesus Christ
He Daily 
Trustingly Confides!

All Sinners Saved
- Through Grace -
By Great Mercy Blessed
Must Stay Prayed Up
OR
By Sin
Get Knocked Up!

The Formerly Vile Sinner
NOW 
Sinner-Saved By Grace
AND
Clean Before The Lord
Must Walk Holy By Jesus' Faith
AND
Not Drink Of The World's Spiritually False Doctrines
Nor Eat At King Fraud's Buffet
Populated With Foods Sacrificed To Idols
Those False Gods
Blind
Deaf
Dumb
Crippled
Not Worth The Merest Penny In Dust
Gleaned
From A Windswept Sidewalk!

Sin Has A Name -  Use It!
Sin Has A Cure - Don't Refuse It!
Salvation Is Free - Don't Reject It!

Tell The Good News!
Don't Be Selfish And Store It:

Satan Is The Liar!

Dr. Jesus From Sin Saves!

Satan Hates That

Dr. Jesus Frees Satan Slaves

EVEN WHEN

They Don't Know

Their Sin 

IS

A Demonic Attack!

Trash Satan

By Trusting Dr. Jesus

The Provider Of Living Holy Cures!

There Is No Need 

To Beg For The Cure

Because

The Itinerant Dr. Jesus

Is Even Right Now

Knocking

At Your Hurting Heart's Broken Door!

Don't Harden Your Heart!

Answer Him: "Yes, Lord!"

For

- By Endurance -

In Him

With Him

By Him

Through Him

You Can't Eternity-In-Heaven Lose!

Go For The Real Win!

Let Dr. Jesus

- The Great Physician -

Be Your Choice!

*********

CHOOSE NOT TO LOSE!

Grace-Humility-Truth-Love

GHTL is The Mixture
Needed by those working for God
Prepared in equal measure
It does wonders for The Soul!

One part of Grace is required
One part Humility
One part of Truth - The Gold Standard
One part Jesus' Love ... for You and Me!

To be a member of The Church-Triumphant
In You must The Mixture be displayed
And if You haven't yet acquired it
Time to break down! You need it ... in spades!

Jesus, Himself, is The Doctor
Dispenser, Purveyor, The Guide
He prescribes, mixes, dispenses
And shows You how much to imbibe!

You have nothing to fear from The Great Physician
He holds Your best interests with pride
His Medicine comes with no side effects
And One Dose only is always prescribed!

The Great Physician knows just what we need
He created, test and trialled them all
So there is no need to be fearful of taking them
For with The Father He manufactured them all!

So with The Blessing of The Father
And The Comfort of The Holy Ghost
Accept The Medicine Cup from Dr. Jesus
Sing Praises, Drink your Medicine, and look up!

All who accept and fill their Prescription
All who take The Full Dose
Of Grace, Humility, Truth and Love
Are amazingly filled with The Holy Ghost!

Then on That Great Day - long awaited
When Heaven rolls back as a scroll
All whose disease was cured by GHTL
Will join Jesus and The Angels on The Glory Road!
