While We Were Asleep

Matt. 28:11-15 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place. And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sufficient sum of money to the soldiers and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.' And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble." So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
This report of the guard, as told to the Jewish Counsel was completely fabricated. How do you know what takes place while you sleep? My Jewish brothers and sisters, pray earnestly about this passage of scripture, that the Lord of the harvest above will open your eyes to the truth of God's word. An eternity separated from God is a terrifying thing.
Heb.9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment. You will spend eternity somewhere!
God sent His Son Jesus Christ to satisfy our debt of sin. His blood is the only acceptable atonement. 
Lev.17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.
Heb.13:12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
Lord, I pray for my brothers and sisters in China, Iran, Israel, the Netherlands, Russia, Germany, Australia and the US. Lord, we want them in the body of Christ. Speak Your words to their hearts, open their eyes to the truth of Your word and capture them with Your majesty. Lord, we know it does not matter our circumstance in life because You forgive all sin except blasphemy. You have many wonderful bible truths of all types of sinners being forever changed by You. We know that sin is sin and in Your eyes all sins are the same. We try to judge our brother's sin but we can not because we all are being judged by You and You alone. Lord, let Your word speak to that one person today who may not have a tomorrow. Lord, reap Your harvest! Amen
This is God's command to His Followers:
Matt.28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them,  "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
