The Man on the middle cross said I could come.

[NewLifeInChristJesus]

I didn't say anything about being unable to open the door; the concept would be that some are unwilling to do so. IOW, there isn't any such thing as a "reformed Catholic"-and certainly no need for one .

Ok, good. I thought I was losing my mind.

"The Man on the middle cross said I could come."

And for no other reason.

This short video is, IMHO, about the best summation of the Good News I've ever heard.

I do disagree with one statement at the end, if I understand correctly but I'm sure he clarified... our profession of faith is VITAL. To paraphrase Jesus, no one filled with His Light hides HIM from the world. "So let your Light shine" can only be genuinely expressed by placing oneself on a stand where everyone can be drawn to Him.

If we don't openly glorify His Name and His words, then anyone looking at us will conclude that we are bragging of our own goodness, and seeking the praise of men.

No different or unrecognizable from the sinful pursuit of the unbeliever.

Luke 9:26
"Whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."

"The Man on the middle cross said I could come." is in fact the very best profession we can make before men.

Saved by grace, sustained by grace.

Christ's invitation to ALL...

I've always thought of it that simple of terms, different terms, but just as simple "Jesus made a promise. I believe He keeps His promises"
