Until Jerusalem Says It — The House Left Desolate and the Witness They Refused

Posted by Edward Cross on September 21, 2026

Matthew 23:39 makes the second advent wait on one sentence Jerusalem has not yet said. Read the whole paragraph and you find what the sentence is about — their treatment of the men God sends them. They killed the prophets, they stoned Stephen, they refused the apostolic witness. The house stands desolate still.

No Mansion For You: Why John 14 Was Not Written to the Body of Christ

Posted by Edward Cross on April 5, 2026

Jesus was not speaking to the Body of Christ in John 14. The Father's house and prepared place belong to the little flock of Israel awaiting the earthly kingdom and the New Jerusalem. This article shows what the Body of Christ is actually promised — a heavenly hope far greater than a room in a city.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin

The Christian life has plenty of ups and downs — disappointments, heartbreaks, and failures. Yet one thing never changes: the abiding presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Romans 8, Paul gives us hope even after the struggles of Romans 7:

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…” (Romans 8:29 KJV)

We all fail, but the Lord never abandons us. David proved that — a man after God’s own heart despite his many failures. Because of God’s sure mercies in Christ, we can keep on keeping on.

Even when we believe not, “yet he abideth faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13). God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). He is never surprised.

The journey continues — grounded in the faithfulness of Christ.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin

The Christian life is full of ups and downs. You face disappointments and heartbreaks, but the one thing you can always count on is the abiding presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. You learn that this cannot be said of any other.

In Romans 8, the Apostle Paul instructs believers as to why they can have hope even though they experience the failures of Romans 7. (Rom 8:29 KJV) “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, …”

All believers fail the Lord in some way, even though they may not be willing to admit it. Others may abandon them, but the Lord never does. Despite all of David’s failures, the Lord never abandoned him. He was a man after God’s own heart, can you imagine that? The Lord promised him sure mercies, just like He promised the seed of Christ.

It’s because of His sure mercies, the Christian should keep on keeping on, come what may. Always remember the faithfulness of Christ even in the midst of our unbelief. Even when we believe not he abides faithful.

If God intends all things to work together for good, then it is up to us to understand all things in light of what God is doing in our lives. God never wakes up surprised. So the journey continues…
