Joseph finds out his life is to be turned upside down

finds out in a dream

I have had a lot of dreams lately but I am not going to act on them

some I wake up from because I don’t want the dream to go on

this man had a dream where he learned that the Holy Spirit impregnated your future wife

he is to go with his plans to marry her

this is something that never happened before in the history of man

Noah built an ark to keep his family safe from a world wide flood that has never happened before in the history of man

Hebrews 11:1–3 LSB

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

next stop is a controversial stop where some don’t like to visit. but someday all will visit this place

this place is the hall of judgement

if you are a christian today there has been a time and continues on where we bow to our Lord and king

we have come in faith to Jesus to save us and take away our sins

we have in our heats bowed to Jesus and someday we will bow before his throne and give Him our praise and worship

as we look into this storefront window we see ourselves bowing in worship and praising the Lamb of God that took away our sin

saved us from the penalty of sin

the name of Jesus who is our redeemer who purchased us from the slave market of sin

but as we turn our attention to the other display in this hall of justice

we focus our vision on the throne of the king

but now it has a line of absolutely terrified people

this place is a place of judgement and as the people small and great that are next in line come to the front

lets leave them right there and look at some verses

Philippians 2:9 LSB

Therefore, God also highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

the name of Jesus

King of kings and Lord of Lords

Philippians 2:10 LSB

so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

these people in line have hated God from their birth

did not want anything to do with him

as the charges are being read off they are bowing to the king

then they are convicted and sentenced to eternity

there are 2 sections in this display window

you will be in one of them

the name of Jesus to some is a name representing love and salvation

to others it’s a swear word

what does the name of Jesus mean to you?
