Jesus is our great interssessor. He is the bridge between us and God. The Bible says no man can to the Father with Jesus. He is the way the truth and the life. He is praying for us even right now. Because He is the Son of God, when He prayers are heard and answered by the Father. Yes, our prayers are answered, but we pray in the name of Jesus and ONLY in the name of Jesus. Read John

Jesus saved me from all the bad stuff going on in the neighborhood. Some of my old friends are gone, on drugs or in jail. If Jesus had not come into my life I might be dead. I will always be thankful. Some of us have a lot to be thankful for. I pray every day, and it is a rare day I don't reat the Bible. I will never get over what He did to me-I am a changed man-and have been since March 25, 1990. Praise Jesus name.

The literal meaning of the word gospel mean "good news". Four gospel were included in the Bible's new testiment. Their are the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  There are some three dozen other gospel about the life and teachings of Jesus that were not included into the bible including the newly discovered Gospel of Judas.

Every January, the International Bulletin of Missionary Research publishes a “Statistical Table on Global Mission” — a detailed look at the world religious situation prepared by the mathematically indefatigable David Barrett. Absolute precision in these matters is impossible, but over the years, Barrett (an Anglican who teaches “missiometrics” at Regent University) has proven himself a judicious, reliable guide. Browsing his numbers reveals more than a few interesting things.\n\nChristian mission, for example, was essentially flat in the twentieth century. There were only 558 million Christians in the world in 1900 and there will be approximately 2 billion Christians by the middle of this year, a huge increase. But as a percentage of world population, Christianity has been treading water for a century: Christians were 34.5 percent of world population in 1900, and will be 33.1 percent in 2002.\n\nHalf of the world’s 2 billion Christians are Catholics. The next largest “megablock” of Christians is found in the denominationally-unaffiliated “Independent Churches,” which have some 400 million members — almost twice as many as the 217 million Orthodox believers in the world. Barrett counts 350 million denominationally-affiliated Protestants and another 80 million in the Anglican “megablock.” The relative positions of these “megablocks” within world Christianity will likely remain constant for the next quarter-century.\n\nEven as Christian population remained steady as a percentage of world population, other dimensions of Christian life changed dramatically in the twentieth century. Christians worshiped in 400,000 congregations in 1900; they can be found in 3.5 million parishes worldwide today. There were 300,000 books on Christianity published in 1900; 5.1 million such books will be published this year. The 3,500 Christian periodicals published in 1900 are a small fraction of the 35,000 Christian periodicals circulating today. Ten times as many Bibles will be distributed worldwide in 2002 as in 1900: 59 million versus 5.5 million. Christian organizations used some 1,000 computers in 1970; they use 332 million computers today. Charitable giving to Christian causes rose from $8 billion to $300 billion over the last century. Perhaps most strikingly, the number of Christian denominations skyrocketed, from some 1,900 a century ago to 35,500 today — one measure of the immensity of the ecumenical task in the twenty-first century.\n\nChristianity became much more an urban phenomenon in the twentieth century. In 1900, only 28 percent of the world’s Christians lived in cities. This year, 58 percent of the global Christian population will be urban dwellers.\n\nThe communications revolution also made a dramatic impact on Christian life: today, 2.5 billion people watch and listen to Christian broadcasts every month, a number Barrett expects will increase to 3.8 billion by 2025. Only 750 million were tuning-in thirty years ago, and of course no one was in 1900.\n\nThe total of what Barrett calls “distinct religions” has shot up from 1,000 in 1900 to 10,500 today, and will likely increase to 15,000 in a quarter-century. While this extravagant growth in new religions refutes the notion that the modern world is inevitably becoming secular, new religious movements are also a serious challenge to interreligious dialogue. The existing difficulties of Christian-Buddhist, Christian-Hindu, and Christian-Muslim dialogue will be magnified in dialogues with such rapidly growing “new religions” as the Vietnam-based Cao Dai (which blends Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism with themes from the Bible and the Qu’ran, while styling its leader the “Pope” and its headquarters the “Holy See”), and the Ahmadi Muslims, who claim that Jesus escaped the cross and died in India at age 120.\n\nIslam is the fastest growing major religion in the world today. From a population base of 200 million in 1900, Islam grew more th

The answer is in verse one.\n\n"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw."

No, all the churches in Christendom do not teach and preach the same Jesus. \n\nSome do show a real compassion and love for people and a real desire to reach out to people, not to evangelize or convert them, but to help them. These seem to embody Jesus much more so than those who shout the Bible, work harder to expand the number of adherents they have, the number of baptisms they have, the number of people attending the church, have developed all kinds of programs to help people learn how to convert people and grow the church. Many churches have become self-centered...they care only about the Church and not about humanity. Jesus, atleast from what I've read in the Bible, seemed to be more concerned with social justice for people and showing compassion towards those who need help in this life. The final thing Jesus said, after he had returned from the dead, was to go out and spread the message....and no one thinks it is odd that he waited to give this message so much later but over and over and over again stressed the importance of showing compassion and finding people's humanity and working for social justice...he speaks a lot more about this than he does about conversion and spreading the Church...in fact he doesn't care much for his enemies because they work against improving social justice, they have trouble seeing the humanity of all people and then administering compassion to others.

It was just natural for people who didn't fully understand Jesus' Messianic mission, to run for safety. They could not imagine anything beyond a physical kingdom with the Messianic King in power. Jesus' crucifixion was a death blow to their hopes. But, His resurrection changed the whole thing around. Jesus appeared to them, assured them of His abiding presence, commissioned them to continue His mission of seeking and saving the lost, and empowered them with the His Spirit. He opened their eyes to see the kingdom of God portrayed in the Scriptures, which He taught. That was the turning point. The real touch of the Spirit of God from above transforms people inside out. This is the same thing that's happening even today. However, the substitutionary death and victorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ had to take place for this to take effect.

Jesus was talking about His ministry while here on earth! The messiah was promised to the people of Israel and they alone were expecting Him. \nLater on Jesus told His disciples(who were all Jews by the way) to go into ALL the earth and preach the Gospel to ALL Nations. \n\nMatthew 28, 18-20

Have you tried reading it from the MESSAGE translation?\n\nPhilippians 4:4-9  \n4Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! 5Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!\n\n    6Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. 7Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.\n\n    8Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. 9Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.

How Can Jesus Change Your Life?\nJESUS CHRIST was a Great Teacher who lived in Palestine almost 2,000 years ago. Very little is known about his childhood. It is well attested, however, that when he was about 30 years of age, he started his ministry to "bear witness to the truth." (John 18:37; Luke 3:21-23) The four disciples who wrote accounts of his life focus on the three and a half years that followed.\n\nDuring his ministry, Jesus Christ gave his disciples a command that could be an antidote to many of the world's ills. What was that? Jesus said: "I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (John 13:34) Yes, the solution to many of mankind's problems is love. When, on another occasion, Jesus was asked which commandment is the greatest, he answered: "'You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.'"—Matthew 22:37-40.\n\nJesus showed us by words and deeds how to love God and fellow humans. Let us consider a few examples and see what we can learn from him.\n\nHis Teachings\n \nIn one of the best-known sermons in history, Jesus Christ told his followers: "No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches." (Matthew 6:24) Is Jesus' teaching about putting God first in our lives still practical today, when so many people believe that money solves all problems? True, we need money to get by. (Ecclesiastes 7:12) Yet, if we let "Riches" be our master, "the love of money" will control us, dominating our whole life. (1 Timothy 6:9, 10) Many who have fallen into this trap have ended up losing their family, their health, and even their lives.\n\nOn the other hand, looking to God as our Master gives meaning to life. As the Creator, he is the Source of life, and thus, he alone is worthy of our worship. (Psalm 36:9; Revelation 4:11) Those who learn about his qualities and come to love him are moved to observe his commandments. (Ecclesiastes 12:13; 1 John 5:3) By doing so, we benefit ourselves.—Isaiah 48:17.\n\nIn the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus also taught his disciples how to show love for fellow humans. He said: "All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you also must likewise do to them." (Matthew 7:12) The word "men" that Jesus used here includes even one's enemies. In the same sermon, he said: "Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you." (Matthew 5:43, 44) Would not such love solve many of the problems that we face today? Hindu leader Mohandas Gandhi thought so. He is quoted as saying: "When [we] shall get together on the teachings laid down by Christ in this Sermon on the Mount, we shall have solved the problems . . . of the whole world." Jesus' teachings about love, if applied, can solve many of mankind's ills.\n\nHis Deeds\nNot only did Jesus teach profound truths about how to show love but he also practiced what he taught. For example, he put the interests of others ahead of his own. One day Jesus and his disciples were so busy helping people that they had no time even to eat a meal. Jesus saw the need for his disciples to rest up a bit, and he took them to a lonely place. But when they got there, they found a crowd waiting for them. How would you have responded upon seeing a crowd who expected you to work when you felt that you needed a little break? Well, Jesus "was moved with pity for them" and "started to teach them many things." (Mark 6:34) This concern for others always moved Jesus to assist them.\n\nJesus did more for people than teach them. He also exten

I was in my mid 20's when Jesus delivered me from a life of drugs, booze, cigs, etc.\n\nA christian man asked if he could pray for me, and when he did, within minutes, I was a totally changed person because God answered that man's prayers.  The Lord totally delivered me from those drugs, booze, cigarettes, etc, along with the desire and their affects.  Of course, I DID have to say "Yes" to the Lord, but He did all the rest.

God can change His mind through prayer of others, just read about Moses. God was gonna kill all the Jews but Moses stopped Him! The power of prayer is splendid. Our very first goal-our reason for being hear was and is to spend time with The Lord! And we do that through prayer. It is our life-line to our Father! God bless
