re: Who's church took a shot at the people who only show up for Christmas and Easter?

50 Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, 51 who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the kingdom of God. 52 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. 54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin. 55 The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

I mean, think about this. And you don't have to answer to me or anyone in this thread but you do have to answer yourself. These are people who were committed to Jesus and believed in him to the point, that they were still committed to a DEAD jesus. Jesus had just died, he had not risen yet they still had faith that he was the son of god. They still prepared spices and linens for Jesus who had not yet risen.

These are people, who were dedicated to Jesus and still practiced the sabboth and HE HAD NOT YET RISEN YET. Here we are with the blessing of knowing what jesus was, what jesus did the next day, and there are people who are so unthankful for what god sacrificed that he they can't even bohter to get up one day a week, hell, one day a YEAR and say thank you.


If a DEAD jesus is worth a sabbath, fresh linens and spices, what is a risen jesus worth?


When I was about 20 my pastor had a scandal in church where he cheated on his wife with a local news anchor and it rubbed me the wrong wah and I stopped going for years. I saw a bunch of hyprcirates, liars and everything else. But over the years I've come to realize that i'm not going to church for them. I'm not going to church to build a new home for someone ro to look good for someone or to be seen or to see, I'm going to church to say thank you.


The ONLY reason we exist is to glorify god (Isiah 43:7). Not to procreate, not to watch sports, not to make money, not even to help others, god doesn't need our help to preform miracles in someone else's life. God put us here ot do one thing, to praise and worship him. So because of that, take your butt to church and do so to the best of your ability.
