'Christ in You...'

Sleep
Date Posted: March 5, 2017

One is living and alive. The other is not alive, but living. How can this be?

Mystery of all mysteries...

Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ and has surrendered to Him enters a living sleep each night, and will also enter a sleep of death, and are waiting to awaken again with everything new - a new body, enironment, and a new world, never again to experience the sleep of death. There will never again be any need for the first sleep that all of us have experienced after we were born.

The existance of humanity began with a deep sleep. The oriiginal sleep began with the creation of a wife for a man, created from his own body.

While he was asleep.

There are some who deny such an outlandish occurance. Most denial is centered around the principle of evolution. Even if it were true, Adam was the beginning of humans. When we think through it, the doctrine (if that is what it is) behind this belief must be the most unnlikely occurance in all of creation (some reject the word "creation" of course").

To believe in the creation of human kind by evolution requires that humans are not obligated to anyone.and allows hunanity to be, and do, as it pleases, which gives birth to the principle "do as you please". They are obligated to no one or no thing but themselves, since evolution is the cause of all that cannot be obligated to.

Apparentlly no one dared to ask where did the "cause" come from?

And of course, where did sleep come from?

And more important, what is next after being born and entering a "permanent" death sleep? What if there is another sleep after the second sleep?

And even more, what if there is another awakening...different than the ones that all humans - including commited evolutionist - will experience?

“Now at that [end] time Michael, the great [angelic] prince who stands guard over the children of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; but at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the [a]Book [of Life], will be rescued.

2- Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake (resurrect), these to everlasting life, but some to disgrace and everlasting contempt (abhorrence). 3-Those who are [spiritually] wise will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness, [will shine] like the stars forever and ever" - Daniel 12:1-3

All who have "fallen asleep" in death, the second sleep, will awaken again. Now is the time to determine to awaken to everlasting life...never to die again. They will awaken from a sleep of death to an awakening to eternal life. Never to sleep again, but awake to a life that never needs to sleep again.

Don't you want to be awake forever - with a body never needing sleep, and never needing a death sleep... to a glorious eternity of joyious awakeness? Eternal rest, net needing any of the sleeps? Eternally awake and eternally alive!

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. - Matthew 11:28
