I have a story about Christ on the crucifix. It is timely for today.

I was raised as a devout Catholic. My mother was an uber-Catholic until the day she died. She didn’t know any theology - she just did whatever the priest said to do. Her only conviction was tradition and her works.

When I was 25 years old, my eyes were opened to the truth of God’s Grace, a personal relationship with Christ, and the power of His Word. It was then that I received Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.

I raised a family in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

We were at my mom’s home when my older son was five years old. He already understood the importance of the resurrection and he was pretty precocious.

“Grandma - why is YOUR Jesus still on the cross?!”

She had no clue.

It was a funny - but not so much.

Christianity is a runaway Jewish sect. The gentile believers hijacked the movement and brought it into Grecko-Roman culture where it lost its Torah imperative and went into Apostasy. Now the whole of Western Civilization, built on that flawed foundation is collapsing. What to do? Repent, that is to return, go back, to the foundational principles of your fathers. Remember the ‘Prodigal Son’? That is what men should do. Christianity is an institutional system that cannot repent. Teshuvah, that is repentance, can only be done by the individual person: as in ‘You’.And to what shall we return? To the People, the Scriptures and The Land of Israel. The Redemptive biiblical Covenants are made with Israel, and with no other people. Israel, is the 'Bride of G-d'. If you are in a covenant relationship with the Creator it is because you have been grafted in to the Commonwealth of Israel. The "New Covenant" is not made with the so called 'Church'. The New Covenant is made with the House of Israel. (See Jeremiah 31:31) Christianity does not know this and does not know what the New Covenant is. It is stuck; in a limbo of its own making; far far away from the teachings of the Master it claims for itself.

38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

Because they keep sacrificing Him several times a day ...for them it is not “finished”
