The Tragedy of “Almost”

“For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?” Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.” The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.” (Acts‬ ‭26:26-30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The passage above records a very tragic moment. King Agrippa was on the verge of believing in Jesus as Lord, but he hardened his heart and stood up, rejecting the free gift of eternal life.

His actions are essentially saying this, “Stop it. I don’t want to hear anymore. I refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.”

Other translations render Agrippa’s words like this:

“Then Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time [and with so little effort] you [almost] persuade me to become a Christian.”” (Acts‬ ‭26:28‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

The word “almost” is the great tragedy.

It is like coming so close to the finish line in a race but fainting and being disqualified when you are just a hair’s breadth away.

Hell contains many souls who are “almosts”.

“I should have responded when that preacher asked for us to place our faith in Jesus. Why did I harden my heart? I almost got saved, but now it is too late...”

“Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my deeds for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’ as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”” (Hebrews‬ ‭3:7-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

It is possible to know with the mind that Jesus is the Son of God and everything that He claims to be, and yet not be saved.

A person has to believe and confess Him as Lord. If you just believe that He is the Son of God but don’t receive Him as Lord, you are not saved.

Even the demons believe that God is real, but they don’t submit to Him as Lord.

The Holy Spirit convicts the hearts of unbelievers about their sinfulness and woos them to receive Jesus Christ as Lord. But they can choose to reject it. Every individual must choose to accept or reject the gift of eternal life.

Yet, it is God’s will for all to hear the Gospel and to be saved. No matter how dark someone’s past is, he can freely receive forgiveness of sins when he places his faith in Jesus as Lord!

If you are already a born-again believer, through faith in Jesus, you have entered God’s rest—the rest of your conscience and also rest from works-based justification.

You are a saint who is already sanctified, justified, saved, holy, righteous, pure, and blameless. The next time you read these words in the Bible, don’t feel condemned or shrink away. These words describe who you already are in Christ.

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians‬ ‭2:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Dear brethren, you are not an “almost”. You are complete in Christ.

Let someone know the Gospel so that they are not almost, but fully saved through faith in Jesus Christ!

Blessed Resurrection Sunday, my dear friends! We can celebrate and be thankful because our Lord Jesus didn’t just die for us on the cross, He rose again on the third day so that we can reign in life as the righteousness of God in Him (Rom. 5:17).

Today, we have the blessed assurance that we have been raised with Christ and are seated with Him at the right hand of the Father, far above every principality and power and dominion. We can live fear-free even in tumultuous times and always have a confident expectation of good for our future!

May you and your loved ones experience a greater measure of our risen Lord’s protection, peace, and favor as you rest in Him and His perfect finished work!

#'90年にT&E SOFTが発売した、オリジナルとなる88用ARPG。
光と闇の間に存在するルーンワースと呼ばれる世界を舞台に絶対神イアティルスの誕生と共に物語は始まる。
レベルアップはイベントやアイテムで行う為、戦闘は最低限でも進められる。

その壮大な世界観は豪華製本解説書にも表れているが、後にゲームデザインの内藤氏は本作を"変にストーリー付けに凝った為、思った試みは失敗した"と、考案したシステムが快適さや面白さに結び付かなかった事を悔いている。

BGMはT&E在籍時の富田氏、長谷川氏による共同作曲で、音源にはopn版、opna版が存在する。

Manufacture: 1990.01.12 T&E SOFT
Computer: PC-8801mkIISR series

不讓我睡著

好啦 推推今天出現的景點

世界之窗 Nature's Window
粉紅湖 Pink Lake
國中國 赫特河公國 Principality of Hutt River

喺澳洲境內原來仲有另一個國家架
就係比西澳包圍住既既赫特河公國Principality of Hutt River啦
今日我地去左依個國中國
我地好早
8:50am就到
一入到去就見到第一代王子既石像
我地當然立即落車同佢影相啦
嘩依個國家真係有七百萬隻烏蠅呀
再行入少少就去到government office
現仼王子就從office內行出黎迎接我地
我地見到佢超興奮
佢話我地係今日既第一對客人
佢幫我地辦左出入境手續
喺Passport上面蓋上Hutt River既出入境蓋印
之後佢同我地好詳細咁介紹左佢地國既不同展品
仲有佢自己國家既郵票同貨幤
我地都好有興趣佢國家既歷史
佢話見我地咁興奮咁有興趣令到佢都興奮起黎
佢話因為其實人同人之間就好似一面鏡咁
你興奮會導致對方都興奮埋一份
所以見到我地對佢國家咁有興趣佢好想帶住我地去同我地介紹
然後佢帶我地去左參觀教堂
教堂內有好多畫作
畫作都係同一位畫家既作品
佢既作品好有趣
都係基督教背景既
畫中畫左畫家喺自己心目中耶穌既樣貌
得意既係畫中其他既人都係現實中存在既人
例如佢畫左自己同耶穌傾計
又例如佢畫左自己既家人朋友做聽耶穌講野既群眾?
透過畫作同耶穌拉近距離，真係一個好好既idea!
好好彩有王子親自同我地講解
如果唔係我地都唔會知道原來啲畫咁有趣
教堂內仲有公主既寶座
王子邀請我地坐上去影相
我地都成為左汶汶公主?同yoga公主?一陣子?
之後王子就帶我地去參見前王子啦，即係第一任既王子
我地仲拎住香港既區旗一齊影左張相！
原來第一任王子好喜歡計數
會透過數學去研究世上既事物
研究不同既宗教
研究世上人類、動物、植物、物件既關係
佢亦都寫左本書係記錄左佢既研究

依個國家真係好有趣
有機會黎西澳既朋友可以黎參觀下呀!!!
