You have been “blessed to be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2) Pay it forward!

1 Corinthians 3
10 …like a skilled master builder, I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 2
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Galatians 2 (ISV)
20-21 I have been crucified with the Messiah. I no longer live, but the Messiah lives in me, and the life that I am now living in this body I live by the faithfulness of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not [set aside] God’s grace, [i.e., legalism] for if righteousness comes about by doing what the Law requires, then the Messiah died for nothing.

Hebrews 5
7-9 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears,
to Him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Though he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him…

Hebrews 10
38 Now the just shall live by faith (Hab 2:4), man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Rewind 32 “think back to the days after you were first enlightened and understood who Jesus was: when you endured all sorts of suffering in the name of the Lord.
34 Remember your compassion for those in prison, and how you cheerfully accepted the seizure of your possessions… knowing that you have a far greater and more enduring possession.
35-38 Remember this, and do not abandon your confidence, which will lead to rich rewards. Simply endure… for when you have done as God requires of you, you will receive the promise. As the prophet Habakkuk said, “My righteous one must live by faith…”

Matthew 28
18-20 Jesus: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age.” Amen.

1 Corinthians 2
6 …we do impart true wisdom — not the phony wisdom typical of this rebellious age or of the hostile powers who rule this age. Despite what you may think… these ruling spirits are losing their grip on this world.
7 …we do impart God’s mysterious & hidden wisdom. Before the ages began, God graciously
decided to use His wisdom for our glory.

“All in One Lifetime,” Malcolm Muggeridge, 1980 (edited)
We look back upon history and what do we see?
Empires rising and falling,
revolutions and counterrevolutions,
wealth accumulating and then disbursed,
one nation dominant and then another.
Shakespeare speaks of the “rise and fall of great
ones that ebb and flow with the moon.”
In one lifetime I have seen my own countrymen
(Great Britian) ruling over a quarter of the world,
the great majority of them convinced, in the words
of what is still a favorite song, that “God who’s
made them mighty would make them mightier yet.”
I’ve heard a crazed, cracked Austrian proclaim to the
world the establishment of a German Reich that
would last for a thousand years;
an Italian clown announce he would restart the
calendar to begin with his [inauguration];
a murderous Georgian brigand in the Kremlin
acclaimed by the intellectual elite of the western
world as wiser than Solomon,
more enlightened than Asoka,
more humane than Marcus Aurelius.

[Yet] America [is] haunted by fears of running out of the
precious fluid that keeps the motorways roaring
and the smog settling,
with troubled memories of a disastrous campaign in Vietnam…
and of the great victories of the Don Quixotes of the
media as they charged the windmills of Watergate.
All in one lifetime… all in one lifetime… all gone.
Gone with the wind.
Behind the debris of these solemn supermen,
there stands the gigantic figure of one…
Because of whom, by whom, in whom & through
whom alone, mankind may still have peace:
The person of Jesus Christ.
