This Halloween, find Jesus!
Mark 1: 1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah,[a] the Son of God,[b] 2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”[c]—
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[d]
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no man can come to the Father, apart from Him. John 14:6
How do I handle Halloween?
Simple, I keep presenting Jesus, that people might choose Him, and Heaven, and avoid hell. There is no other way…
The Scripture says that the way of eternal life, salvation, is simple, and plain:
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 ¶ For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
You simply believe Jesus died for your sin, was raised from the dead, and if you should simply call upon His name, you will be saved.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
The question then is, is Jesus your Lord?
Much of what we do with our time, is temporal, some of it needful, to make a living for ourselves, in this life.
Yet, there is an appointment we will all keep, some sooner, some later, with God.
We will die.
Then what?

We will come face to face with what we spent our lives on in this life. Without Jesus, we will depart into a place called hell, a place of everlasting torment.
With Him, there are only two scenarios: For those who accepted Him, yet did not live for Him, who, because of the great love and mercy of our Lord, will make heaven, with no reward.
Yet, there are those of us, actively pursuing the things of God, and doing everything in our power, to live for Jesus, and to build His kingdom.
1Ti 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
As a minister has said, we can only do three things with our life: We can waste it, We can spend it, or we can invest it in eternity.
This is true. Wasteful living in alcohol, immorality, and pursuit of vain and worldly pleasures, can cost us eternal life, if we reject Jesus.
Yet, the majority of people spend their lives, working, investing, and building a better life for themselves, only to discover, that we cannot take it with us.
Then, there are the third group of people, that invest their lives, in light of eternity and who enter glory, to the applause of the great cloud of witnesses, into eternal rank, privilege and reward.
Which one are you? What are you living for?
Today, I’m asking that you join me in this great adventure of faith.
FAITH = Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him.
Living large, in light of eternity.
Today, I am asking you to not only accept Jesus as your Savior, but to do what I have done, bow your knee, to His Lordship. To give Him all of your life, to consecrate everything you are, have, or hope to be, to Him. Then, He will speak to you, and like the mother of Jesus spoke in her immortal words, so many years ago:
Joh 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
Let’s Pray:
‘Father, today is Halloween in the world, the day the devil and his disciples rejoice, and attempt to work evil in the earth. You are Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and earth, and Jesus, you are Lord. Today, I give you my heart, my life, my future, and all that I am, or would become. I trust you to speak to me, and show me my next assignment, today. Amen’
