HOUSE!!

As most of you already know, I love the show House. (Every Tuesday night at 9 on FOX) If it were up to me, I would declare Tuesday as HOUSE day. No one would work, there would be nothing else on TV except HOUSE. It will tell you that most Tuesday blogs will be centered around something that happens in the show. I say that, but next week God will probably lay something else on my heart. However the Lord has again used this show to share something with me, to share with you.

I will have to say though before I begin, I didn't really pay as close a attention to the show as I normally do mostly because of homework. I did see most of it, but there were two line that really stuck out to me. The first was "You are about to tell someone they're gonna die and you think it's all about you." As soon as I heard this I was like WOW!! that's awesome. Not because Dr. House was about to tell someone they're gonna die, or because he couldn't look past his pride for a minute and see that it wasn't all about him but because I am so thankful that God didn't do that. I'm extremely grateful that God had MY NAME in mind when he told his only son he had to die. It was all about God, and him making a sacrifice beyond understanding for our sins but our God is full of humility, something we need to practice more often. John 3:16 says, "For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Notice that God says SO LOVED THE WORLD (you and me), he didn't say for God SO LOVED HIMSELF, but the world. God willingly sacrificed his OWN SON to die a death that we would deserved. Ro. 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." In this verse we see that the penalty for the sin WE commit is death. Not only physical death, but a spiritual death as well that would separate us from God eternally. The good thing is that it doesn't stop there, because God so Loved the WORLD, he came to earth to live a full perfect life, to take the sins we committed put them on his back and carried them to the cross. God took a beating beyond anything we could imagine. He took nails through the hands that never seize to serve us, and thorns in the head that thought up our existence. I just can't begin to imagine what it would be like on the day where every knee bows and every tongue confesses that he is God (Ro.14:11), and then to hear him say my name followed by these three words, DEPART FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU!!!! (Mt. 7:23)
