This is the journey God has taken me , growing up during the civil war in El salvador , coming to the United States as an illegal alien and working in the fields in Washington state to Seminary at Andrews University and using me to minister to those who are suffering .
Jesus did not yield up His life till He had accomplished the work which He came to do; and He exclaimed with His parting breath, "It is finished! ( SR 247) . mistreated , misunderstood and finally put to death by those he came to save , our savior gave it all for us . The apostle Paul says " He emptied himself " He came to rescue sinners and to restored fallen humanity back to God, he became man so he could take humanity to the higher courts in heaven . "Jesus Christ laid off His royal robe, His kingly crown, and clothed His divinity with humanity, in order to become a substitute and surety for humanity, that dying in humanity He might by his death destroy him who had the power of death. " ( LHU 345) our only hope is in what Jesus did for us and what he is doing for us .He has opened the way so we can be with him " And if I come again , I will take you to myself that where I am you might be also " . The resurrection of Lazarus is a demonstration of what will happen at the last trumpet when the " dead in Christ shall rise first " Our Sister Daisy Roman , is resting in the lord , I remember when I made an appeal for someone to accept Jesus as Lord , she was the first person to raise her hand as a sign of accepting Jesus in her life and later she decided to get baptized to seal her life with Jesus .She is sleeping now , waiting for the last trumpet . For the Lord himself , shall descend from heaven with a shout , with the voice of the archangel , with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ shall first . We have this hope that soon we will see Daisy , not suffering , not in pain as we saw her last but with great joy in the presence of her savior . He has finished the race , now the question is , will we join ? I pray that we will have this hope .
