The songs on this EP vocalize a uncompromising biblical perspective in contrast to a secular world view. Much like the conversation between Jesus Christ and the two thieves on the cross at Golgotha. The deeper understanding is that both thieves are in the same spiritual predicament. Facing death for the sinful crimes they’ve commited and in need of a Savior. Judgement is shortly approaching as they’re both about to leave the natural world forever and enter the realm of eternity.
As one thief foolishly mocks and scoffs at the Savior, sealing his condemend fate for eternal death. The other thief wisely makes provision for his soul. Realizing that Jesus Christ is the extreme outlier of the three. Dying innocently and unjustly, but for a devine cause. Unknowingly, the thief applies Romans 10:9 when he decides to believe in his heart, and proving so by the confession of his own mouth. He calls Jesus Christ Lord aloud. Then asks Him for eternal salvation when he says “Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Unlike the foolish thief, this wise thief chose eternal life; by desiring to go with and follow after Christ Jesus, as His Lord and King. Resulting in Christ Jesus forgiving the redeemed man and promising him that in paradise with Him, he will be Luke 23:39-43. These clashing experiences with Christ Jesus on that momentous day; as He fufills His mission in completing the groundbreaking will of God. Likewise, effects all beings saved, lost, or fallen. In the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions, rulers or authorities.
It’s the encounter with Christ Jesus all humanity will face. The perspective they view Him from and the position they take. The day in life where a decision is made. Either to preserve the life of the soul or condemn it to eternal punishment. The spiritual crossroad in life, who’s way and path is seldomly chosen or completed. Being that golgotha means place of the skull and skulls typically symbolize death. Following Christ Jesus’s journey along the spiritual road of golgatha with cross in hand, exemplifies dying to self, and sacrificing our life in exchange for His.
Accordingly, if true eternal life is sought after. Christ Jesus must exclusicely be declared as the resurrected Lord. Commemorating His example daily of being lead by the Spirit, in the crucifixion of sin and the flesh. As Jesus said “take up your cross and follow me” Luke 9:23 and if you don’t you’re not worthy of Him Matthew 10:38. Therfore we must learn and choose to practice walking in Him, as Colossians 2:6 states.
This is a voluntarily decison every believer must make. A wilderness experience that reshapes our lives and reveals true purpose in life. Where pressures like loneliness may be felt at times, but is fleeting; because it is realized that we’re never truly alone. As Psalms 23:4 reads “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” We need only to keep our eyes to the Savior and LORD who goes ahead of us, will be with us, and sets us free. Having no need to fear or be dismayed because they will never fail or forsake us.
When we truly walk with Christ Jesus daily we are redeemed, regenerated, and renewed. Our lives are reformed through godly metamorphosing stages. Where we remain unaware of when the transformational effects in us actually occur. It’s the progressive process of spiritually growing in godliness. Translated from darkness to light, from being blind to now I see, from ignorance to enlightenment, and from eternal damnation to eternal life. The Lord and Savior through us living and reigning as The resurrected King, Jesus Christ.
Distractions Emphasis what’s important in life. Eternity over temporary! How life becomes a cycle of blurred lines when a person has lost focus on, or were never aware of, who and what is most important. John 12:40Romans 11:72 Corinthians 4:3-41 Peter 4:3-6
The distractions outro is a truly truly I say unto you message to get people’s mind in perspective that darkness will continue to spread within and without if it’s not out shined by the light of Jesus Christ’s life in us. It’s a further reminder not to be distracted in life but to be attentive to and apply the lyrical truth filled message preached in this Ep. Concentration on the gospel of salvation, the good news that He came to save us.
John 12:46Matthew 5:14-16John 3:19-21
What is loveIs one of the controversial perceptions that must be perceived correctly on the road to golgatha. It answers the age old question of what real love is. Bringing into perspective true love, which is God. There is no greater exemplification of love, then what He did for us and how He showed and declared it for us through the death of His first only begotten son Jesus Christ on the cross. It’s an awaking truth from searching for love in all the wrong places. A song who’s message describes how we can find true validation, security, and reside in God, who is true and perfect Love.
1 John 4:7-10, 16-19Romans 8:391 Corinthians 13:1-13
CornerstoneWhen we truly realize Christ’s love for us and the value we hold in His eyes you can’t help but see how broken our lives really are. This song is for those who don’t really know who they are and ultimately whose they are. It offers hope. So that true life can be found in, and a solid foundation can be built on Christ Jesus the cornerstone. He understands rejection on the highest level. Inspite of, He still loved, He still obeyed, because He understood fully; who He was, whose He was, and what He was called to do for me and you. Jesus Christ, the cornerstone, is and always will be the greatest alive to ever rise! where the vision for our life is to be envisoned through His eyes.Psalms 34:18Psalms 51:17Psalms 147:3Matthew 21:421 Peter 2:6-10
I AM the wayIs just how it sounds revealing The Way, His truth and the hope of eternal life. The narrow path few find, which is exclusively in Jesus Christ. Seeking answers on the broad way that deceptively leads all to destruction. The path that you take determines your fate. A decison must be made before it’s to late. Jesus Christ is the answer, for the world today. But when He returns to the earth will He find faith? Or people gone astray, living life thier way? Better choose to today who you gonna serve!
Psalms 25:8Isaiah 30:21Proverbs 14:12; Proverbs 16:25John 14:6Matthew 7:13-14Luke 13:23-2 Corinthians 13:5
Great expectationsIs about putting our trust and expectations in God to the point we live out what He believes can be done through us. Trusting in His ability without limitations that we can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us. Living our present and future life as trustworthy servants who answered the “about face” call as colabouer with Christ. A song that encourages one’s faith to be strong in the Lord, graced with expectation in Him. Doing all He tells us to do because of the blessed hope of a priceless inheritance awaiting us.
Luke 2:49John 5:17Matthew 9:37-38Ephesians 1:3-6,11-12Titus 2:13
Save emIs a mandate that the church should be upholding individually. Never knowing how we can and will impact others lives. The great commission to make disciples of Christ Jesus who wants to deliver and set them free. A joyful call every believer is purposed to do collectively. This is our unified mission in life to worship God and win souls for Christ.
