THE INDESTRUCTIBLE
 GOSPEL OF CHRIST

THE ETERNAL GOSPEL OF CHRIST
Incomparable, Indestructible & Irresistible
By:  Pastor Max Solbrekken

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." (Romans 1:16)

St. Paul was a preacher of the gospel for many years and was called the 'Apostle to the Gentiles.'

His encounter with Jesus Christ on the 'Damascus Road' made such an impact on his life that he recounted it repeatedly in his preaching and before important people like Governor Felix and King Agrippa!

Writing to new converts in Rome, he stated: "The Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation..." (1 Corinthians 1:16)  The gospel is the power of God.  What an awesome statement!

Paul was anticipating a visit to Jerusalem and ultimately to Rome - where he knew he would suffer imprisonment - so he wrote the epistle to educate, prepare and strengthen the saints, who would also suffer such a fate for their belief in Jesus Christ!

Christians everywhere were being persecuted and undoubtedly, many believers were afraid to witness their faith publicly or were ashamed of being a part of a movement that was so maligned, and that made them a laughing stock before their peers!

Apparently, Timothy was feeling the pain of Paul's persecution and having anxious moments about his own life being so closely allied to the great Apostle!

JESUS DEMANDS TOTAL SURRENDER!

St. Paul admonished Timothy: "God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.  Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God:

"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works; but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began." (2 Timothy 1:7)

"Onesiphorus oft refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain."  (1 Timothy 1:16)  To Church at Philippi, he wrote: "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21)

Jesus didn't pull any punches.  Jesus didn't make it easy for people to follow Him.  He demanded all or nothing and because He gave all, He expected His followers to do the same.

Our Saviour said: "Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My sake and the Gospel's, the same shall save it." (Mark 8:34-36)

To the man who exclaimed: "Lord, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest", Jesus answered, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head."

Our Lord said to another, "Follow Me", but he said, "Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father."  Jesus answered, "Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and PREACH the Kingdom of God."

According to Jewish tradition, the eldest son had first right to the inheritance and had to take charge of family matters when his father died.  In this case, the man's father may have still been alive but he felt it his duty to stay at home until his passing.

Jesus had a different view on the matter.  His message is this, if you are called to follow Him and proclaim His Gospel that trumps other obligations that are not as important.  Even if the man's father was already dead, others could be assigned to bury him!

In other words, let those who are spiritually dead bury their dead and allow those that are spiritually alive to preach the gospel and save precious souls to Christ!

"And another also said, Lord, I will follow Thee; but let me first go bid them farewell which are at home at my house.  And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:57-62)

What is Jesus teaching us through this?  Jesus is serious about our spiritual life and eternal salvation.  Everything fades into insignificance when you compare temporal things with the spiritual needs of the individual.  Jesus came to seek and to save the lost.  He came to heal the broken hearted and mend sick bodies and spirits. (Luke 4:18-19)

Nothing is as important as pleasing God and sharing His mercy and love to family, friends and neighbors.  He stated: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." (Matthew 22:37-39)

JESUS IS STILL THE GREAT PHYSICIAN

Jesus gave His life so that we may live.  Jesus is our Saviour, Redeemer, Deliverer, Healer and Sustainer.   His Gospel is the greatest news our sinful and sick world could ever hear. 

He stated: "Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."  (John 15:1)

"I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.  As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father and I lay down My life for the sheep." (John 10:14-15)

"For when we were without strength (hopeless), in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, whole we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  (Romans 5:6,7)

At the Council of Nicea in AD 325, ATHANASIUS the intrepid Champion of the true deity of Jesus Christ vigorously opposed the spurious attacks of ARIUS and the UNITARIANS who denied our Saviour's divinity.  A wishy-washy friend warned the great Man of God thusly: "Have a care Athanasius:  The world is against you!"  Athanasius answered: "Then, I am against the world!"

WHAT MAKE THE GOSPEL SO POWERFUL?

What was it about Jesus of Nazareth that so captivated the apostles and early disciples that they forsook all earthly conveniences, fortunes and zones of comfort to follow Him, even to their deaths?

What impressed Matthew the tax collector, Luke the physician and Zenas the lawyer, to forsake all and follow the Master?  And what has inspired millions more down through the last two Millennia to worship the Lord Jesus Christ as very God and to make known His name to multitudes everywhere, often at the cost of their lives?

What was it that caused Peter and Andrew, Thomas and Bartholomew to follow in the footsteps of Jesus?  What was it that caused the proud Pharisee Saul of Tarsus to humble himself, repent of his folly and become the greatest of all Gospel preachers, after his encounter with Jesus Christ on the Damascus Road?  What made this 'Jewish terrorist' and injurious persecutor of Christians and blasphemer of Jesus, make this sudden switch?

What inspired Silas and Timothy, Barnabas and Apollos, Jude and Agabus, to pick up the torch of this Evangelical Gospel?  What was the reason that Justin Martyr and Polycarp declared their faith in Jesus Christ at the cost of their lives?

What made John Huss go to his death so that the Gospel of Christ would not be compromised?  What inspired Bishops Lattimer and Ridley to shout God's praises and continue to confess Christ from Papal Rome's Burning Stake?

It was, my beloved friend, the indisputable, indestructible, unmistakable call of the Holy Spirit of God upon those whose love for Jesus Christ and His gospel had become greater than life itself!

JESUS CHRIST:  GOD INCARNATE!

Jesus stated: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me:  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.  My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.  I and My Father are one.

"Say ye of Him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God.  If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not.  But, if I do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in Me, and I in Him."  (John 10:27-29, 36-38)

It is the amazing truth that Jesus of Nazareth who was born in a stable in Bethlehem was more than a man.  He was the Eternal Son of God from Heaven and the Creator of all life.  He was God incarnate (God in human flesh).

He came to earth on a specific mission to redeem Adam's fallen race from sin, fear, sickness, disease, death and demons!

JESUS OF NAZARETH was born to die in order to defeat Satan, the enemy of our souls.  And to rise from the dead, victorious over death, hell and the grave!  Jesus Christ is truly the Saviour of the world, the Liberator of sinful man, the Healer of every sickness, the Emancipator of the human race and the Possessor of Eternal Life!

Here is the final victory speech of St. Paul who was personally recruited by the Lord Jesus Christ to spread His glorious Gospel across the Gentile world:

"For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing." (2 Timothy 4:6)

The Gospel is the GOOD NEWS of God's unconditional love, unmerited mercy and prevenient grace toward lost and perishing humanity.  How do I know all this?  God Himself says so.  His Holy inerrant Word proclaims that it is so.  And He cannot deny Himself, change, make a mistake, fail or lie!

HISTORICAL RECORD VERIFIES AND CONFIRMS THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND MERCY OF GOD

The historical record verifies and confirms it.  God's dealings with mankind recorded in sacred as well as secular writing show His unconditional love for carnal, lost and ungodly men by providing a way of escape from Satan the perverted Evil One called Satan the Hater, Oppressor and Adversary of God and man!

His greatest mission of unconditional love, overcoming all barriers of sin, death and judgment was manifested on Calvary's cross nearly 2,000 years ago when the incarnated SON of God paid the ransom price for the souls of lost humanity, meeting the demands of Divine Justice through His perfect, vicarious and all atoning death and glorious resurrection from the dead!

He sought us before we knew Him or even thought of Him!  The songwriter scribbled these words: "When He was on the cross I was on His mind.  He loved me before I knew Him.." And St. John wrote: "We love Him because He first loved us." (1 John)

It is the power of God because it changes those who receive its life giving message.  It not only transforms the inner man but it heals sick and diseased bodies through the efficacious power of the shed blood of Jesus that was given freely for us on Calvary's tree.

THE RIDDLE OF THE CHANGED CALENDAR

Almost 2,000 years later, Dr. A.U. Michelson, another prominent Jew wrote in 'The Riddle of the Changed Calendar' as follows:

"What mighty earthly monarch decreed and ordained the rise and fall of the tides?  We all know there was none.  It is a decree of nature, of a force not set in motion by man.  Nor could the entire human race do anything to check its regular flow and ebb.

"Again, what earthly monarch decreed or commanded, or even suggested that all civilized peoples should date their calendars backward and forward, B.C. and A.D. from the birth of Jesus Christ?"

"History furnishes no clue to this question; for there never was such an edict; no such suggestion ever came from the lips or the pen of any world potentate.  Each human ruler would much prefer to impose upon the face of history a date system whereby some great deed or victory of his own should forever be commemorated.  Such futile attempts were repeatedly made; some even simultaneously with the slow, but inexorable, forward march of the Christian calendar."

"The most notable attempt in modern days to find a new starting point for civilized time was that undertaken by France in 1793.  This revolutionary calendar fell with the cause it represented.  It lasted just thirteen years, and its only legacy to history is the tangle of dates which confuses the record of these thirteen years."

"Ancient history also is strewn with these forgotten way marks of time - Babylonian Eponyms, Greek Olympiads, Roman Consulates.  For centuries before the birth of Christ, the letters A.U.C. designated the founding of that great city, And, yet when, and by whom, was it decreed that the letter A.U.C. should give place to A.D. and B.C.?  No imperial edict forced this change; yet all civilized time bears the signature of Jesus Christ.  How did this come to pass?  Again history is mute in answer to this question."

"Who is the person to whom the whole civilized world gives daily recognition?"

He was a humble inhabitant of an obscure town in a small province of the then existing Roman Empire.  His public life was short.  He wrote no book.  He overthrew no government.  He left no great band of highly influential followers.  In fact, after three years of pedestrian itineraries, He was put to death as a criminal.  His followers, few and humble, forsook Him and fled.

To reject the claims of Jesus as being equal with God, as being God the Son, the very almanac of the modern world is an incredible absurdity.

What possible explanation is there for this enigma?

Here is a man of the darkest age of the world.  He lived in a subject province.  He never wrote a sentence that has been preserved.  He died when He had scarcely reached manhood; and He died cast out by His own race, and abandoned by His scanty band of followers.

And yet, twenty centuries after He hung upon a cross, His birth is accepted by believers and unbelievers alike, at the point from which all centuries are dated.  Every morning all the newspapers of the world, even though some are impregnated with hatred and ridicule of Jesus Christ, adjust their dates to His cradle.  The very dates on our cheques and letters, all governmental records, all legal documents, all literature, yes, all are unconsciously a testimony to the birth of Jesus Christ.

There can be but one explanation for this riddle of the 'Changed Calendar.'  It is that He who hung upon that Roman cross, was, at He claimed, more than a man, that he was, in fact, God incarnate.  God in the person of His Son - Himself the Creator of Time.  And this Lord of Creation performed upon that cross a far mightier work than all human achievements put together - namely, the redemption of the human race; available to all who will believe and receive Him as Redeemer and Lord.

DEATH BED CONFESSION OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE

Frederick W. Kates, writing in The Churchman says, "It is hardly to such a man as Napoleon Bonaparte one would turn for spiritual enlightenment:  but it is interesting indeed to note what he said about Jesus of Nazareth and the Christian Religion".

"I see in Lycurgus, Numa, and Mohammed only legislators who, having the first rank in the state, have sought the best solution of the social problem"; said Napoleon, "but I see nothing there which reveals divinity ... nothing announces them divine.  On the contrary, there are numerous resemblances between them and myself, foibles and errors which ally them to me and to humanity."

"It is not so with Christ", he continued in this conversation with General Bertrand, one of his companions during the twilight days of his meteoric career.

"I search in vain in history to find the equal of Jesus Christ, beyond the march of events and above the human mind."

"Everything in Him astonishes me.  His spirit overawes me, and His will confounds me.  Between Him and whoever else in the world, there is no possible term of comparison.  He is truly a Being by Himself.  His ideals and His sentiments, the truths which He announces, His manner of convincing, are not explained either by human organization or by the nature of things."

"His birth, and the history of His life; the profundity of His doctrine, which grapples the mightiest difficulties, and which is, of those difficulties, the most admirable solution; His Gospel, His apparition, His empire, His march across the ages, and the realms, is for me a prodigy, a mystery insoluble, which plunges me into a reverence which I cannot escape, a mystery which is there before my yes, a mystery which I cannot deny or explain.  Here I see nothing human."

"The nearer I approach, the more carefully I examine, everything is above me, everything remains grand - or a grandeur which overpowers."

"His religion is a revelation from an intelligence which certainly is not that of man.  There is a profound originality, which has created a series of words and of maxims before unknown.  Jesus borrowed nothing from our sciences.  One can absolutely find nowhere, but in Him alone, the imitation or the example of His life."

In another place Napoleon wrote: "I know men; and I tell you that Jesus is not a man.  Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other regions.  That resemblance does not exist.  There is between Christianity and whatever other religions the distance of infinity...."

Napoleon states his conception of the Christian religion in the following words when he says it is "neither ideology nor metaphysics, but a practical rule which directs the actions of man, corrects him, counsels him, and assists him in all his conduct."

"The Bible contains a complete series of facts and historical men, to explain time and eternity, such as no other religion has to offer.  If this is not the true religion, one is very excusable in being deceived for everything in it is grand and worthy of God."

Referring to Christ's empire and His Church in contrast to his own passing fame and glory, Napoleon who has been described as the "world's greatest traveling man of slaughter" said:

"You speak of Caesar, of Alexander, of their conquests, and of the enthusiasm they enkindled in the hearts of their soldiers; but can you conceive of a dead man making conquests with an army faithful and entirely devoted to his memory?  My armies have forgotten me, even while living, as the Carthaginian army forgot Hannibal.  Such is our power!"

"Such is the history of the invasion and conquest of the world by Christianity.  Such is the power of God of the Christians; and such is the perpetual miracle of the progress of the Faith and the government of His Church.  Nations pass away, thrones crumble, but the church remain.  What is, then, the power which has protected this church, thus assailed by the furious billows of rage and the hostility of ages?  Whose is the arm which for eighteen hundred years, has protected the church from so many storms which have threatened to engulf it?"

"Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires.  But on what did we rest the creations of our genius?  Upon force!  Jesus Christ alone founded His Empire upon love; and, at this hour, millions of men would die for Him."

Then, and rather pathetically, the great Napoleon remarked to his companion:  "We are mere lead now, General Bertrand, and soon I shall be in my grave.  Such is the fate of great men!  So it was with Caesar and Alexander, and I, too, am forgotten, and the name of a conqueror and an emperor is a college theme."

"Behold the destiny, near at hand, of him who has been called the great Napoleon!  What an abyss between my deep misery and the eternal reign of Christ, which is proclaimed, loved, adored, and which is extending over all the earth!  Is this to die?  Is it not rather to live?  The death of Christ - it is the death of God!"

TO GOD THE FATHER BE GLORY - THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD

St. John the Apostle had been exiled to the Island called Patmos for his testimony about Jesus Christ. It was while he was serving his sentence there, that he was visited by the Eternal living and resurrected Son of God in all His glory.

At the very presence of the Glorified Christ, John fell at His feet as dead but Jesus laid His hand upon him, saying: "Fear not; I am in the first and the last:  I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:17, 18)  To God be all the Honour, Praise and Glory forever and ever.  Amen.

"Be sober, be vigilant: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; Whom resist steadfast in the faith..."
(1 Peter 5:8-9)

The Bible warns us of the treachery, duplicity, cunning and deceptive abilities of the EVIL ONE to tempt, snare and kill the children of men who are created in the image and likeness of God!

Every time that Satan looks upon a human being he rages with hatred, fear and a deep foreboding because of his failure to destroy the Jesus Christ (Incarnate Son of God) Who had come to this earth to defeat him and liberate us!

He cringes in fear because he knows that he must bow before our Lord Jesus Christ and declare Him King of kings and Lord of lords to the glory of God the Father. And he trembles in agony as awaits his doom of being cast into the 'lake of fire' forever! (Revelation 20:10)

He is haunted by the sound of Jesus' blood falling to the earth on Calvary 's Hill and Jesus' cry, "It is finished." (Tetelestai: gr. It is finished. It is fulfilled. It is paid). Knowing that he will hear those words throughout eternity, and forever remember that it could have been different had he not committed High Treason against his Creator, Almighty God. (Isaiah 14: 12-14; Ezekiel 28: 2-6)

In his blind hatred, pride and rebellion he soldiers on in his unjust, evil and wicked cause against God and the jewel of His creation, Man.

BILLY GRAHAM stated: "Man's fiercest foe from the Garden of Eden right to the end of time is not cancer, communism, disease or death.  It is the devil."

Dr. Rebecca Brown wasn't doing research for a book on witchcraft when she met Elaine, nor was she thinking about evil spirits, demons or the occult.

Brown, a medical doctor, was shocked by Elaine's story of fear, torment and bondage.  When therapy and drugs failed to help, Brown was amazed at her patient's recovery by her acceptance of Jesus Christ.

After Elaine's dramatic healing and escape from Satanism, other tormented young people in similar straits began calling the MD's office, seeking similar assistance.

Dr. Brown's recent book He Came to Set the Captives Free is the clinical report of many of her patients, who decided after deliverance, to publicize their traumatic encounters with the devil.

After seven years of medical and psychological research, the medic was convinced that Satanism is a most destructive and evil power, a power that can be conquered only through faith in Christ.

This should come as no surprise since Jesus said that Satan - the thief - had come "only to kill, steal and to destroy". (John 10:10)

That Satan is a liar is no secret!  That he is the "father of lies" is well known. Jesus stated: "He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it". (John 8:44)

1)   Satan: 'sah-tahn'- (heb.) for 'the hater, opponent, enemy, adversary: one who resists, obstructs, hinders that which is good'.  When the form 'ha-satan' (the adversary) occurs, the translation is usually (Satan), not his name, but his accurate description: hateful enemy!  Strong's #7854

2)   Devil:  (gr.) for liar, false accuser, traducer!
3)   Beelzebub:  (gr.) for god of flies, god of filth!

Satan is the enemy of God and man.  The devil is a liar extraordinaire.  He is the filthiest of the filthy: more corrupt and perverted than any abominable sex maniac, sadist, suicide bomber or serial killer.

You may ask, "How can you be so sure that Satan is to blame for all the bad things that are happening in our world"!  PLAIN and SIMPLE:

His hands drip with the blood of millions of souls through his emissaries who enslave, rape, mutilate, murder and terrorize!  He works through power-hungry, hate-filled political and religious leaders who brainwash others into following them on the same path of destruction; hijacking airplanes, taking hostages, bombing public buildings, hospitals, schools, TV stations, buses, trains and bridges, injuring and killing innocent people.

Satan is the architect of fear, torment, enslavement and war!  He pits man against man and causes divisions in families, communities, nations and churches; resulting in major upheavals, which inflict long term spiritual, physical and psychological scars on all concerned - especially children - bringing untold misery to society.

You must ask yourself: "Who is the originator of sin?"  The answer is: "Satan!"  Again, "Who is responsible for sickness, disease and death?"  The answer again is "Satan, the destroyer"!

Dr. John Wesley White warns:  "The devil.  We all wish he'd go away.  But he's around a lot more than he was yesterday, and he's going to be more visible and vocal tomorrow than he is today.  Like a vast, vicious virus that won't stop, his iniquitous vices are on every hand.  To be ignorant of his tactics is to lay ourselves open to chronic peril".

SATAN'S SLAVES

In his book, The Second Coming:  Satanism in America , Arthur Lyons states "that from a scientific or secular viewpoint, the 1970's revival of devil worship, witchcraft, sorcery and occultism in America was totally unexpected.  Most intellectuals had expected belief in the devil to disappear within a few years".

The Bible states that he is Abaddan the destroyer, and St. Paul warns that he is such a deceiver that he will "appear as an angel of light". (2 Corinthians 11: 14)

Dabbling in the occult can open the door to possession and a controlled life, which turns people into Satan's slaves, observes Brown.

Elaine's story is one of sadistic and sexual bondage to evil spirits and a ritualistic marriage to the devil.

Other experts are also sounding the alarm, warning of the dramatic rise in Satan worship in the US and the psychological damage it is doing to unsuspecting youngsters.  As well as the terrible trauma it causes to their families, friends and communities.

Earlier, Satanism was dismissed as a harmless fad that would soon die out, but now sociologists and clergymen are encountering new, scary and very real problems linked to devil worship.

Police have been checking out reports that covens of young people are gathering in wooded areas near Los Angeles, to worship the devil.  Sacrificial satanic rituals like killing cats and dogs have been confirmed and officials suspect humans have been sacrificed!

SERIOUS PROBLEM

So serious is the problem, churches in the area sponsored a seminar several years ago on Satanism and neo-paganism just to learn more on the subject.

The seminar featured a Christian response to evil, exorcism and satanic deception. "Satanism is alive and well, and the sad thing is that it is growing among teenagers", states Roger Burt, a Christian authority.

Dr. Billy Graham declares:  "A generation ago, when I began as an evangelist, people generally, and intellectuals in particular thought of the devil as an anachronistic symbol, a handy expression of profanity, or as a superstition believed in chiefly by religious eccentrics.  Today, the devil is getting maximum exposure, precisely as the Bible predicted would happen prior to Christ's return."

According to prophecy, Satan will make a momentous comeback just before Jesus returns.

He will orchestrate the world's greatest confrontation, the "Battle of Armageddon". In the end Satan loses totally.  Only one angel will be needed to cast him into the bottomless pit forever!

For a short while he will bask in the limelight as a part of a troika - the unholy trinity - together with the antichrist and the false prophet. Then, he will be cast into the 'Lake of Fire'  forever. Hallelujah!

St James gives us some very good counsel: "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you."

"Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up." (James 4: 7, 8, 10)
