The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of the universe with all authority in heaven and on earth is the greatest event of all time in the history of the world. I can’t think of any event that can ever top it. Galatians 1:4 says that it was God's plan for His only Son should be born as a man, live a perfect life and then die, not for his own sins but for the sins of you and I. What an incredible God! His life of Jesus was announced 700 years before the crucifixion of Jesus, His death was described by the prophet Isaiah like this: "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all"
Friend Jesus saves! He saves from sin, from bad thinking, from broken hearts, and from any burden that may come your way. He is the Savior of the world .He saves me when I want to feel sorry for mysel. There are times when I feel like dwelling on my pain and challenges, but I think of Christ’ sacrifice and all of a sudden my future becomes brighter. I grew up feeling unimportant, inadequate, and invisible. I am a middle child in a large family and I had to fight (still fighting) to be heard. I am overwhelmed with joy to know that not only Jesus has saved me from a lost eternity by dying in my place, but also Jesus has saved me from a life of sin by sending the Holy Spirit to live in me and to empower me to live for God. He was crucified for little me. Friend Jesus is able to heal you everywhere you hurt.Jesus came for your salvation. He went through all of this to make sure that my sins and yours are forgiven and bring us back to the father. It is all too easy to forget the magnitude of Jesus’ sacrifice and suffering for us considering how imperfect we are and how unimportant we must feel. But Christ sacrifice is the clearest and loudest I "love you" ever said. If like me you have struggled with love, acceptance and rejection, remember that Christ did all of this for you. He loves you that much. You are important to Him. He values you highly. There is no need to feel alone in a crowd anymore. God wants you and I to accept His friendship. He sent His Son so that you and I might be brought back to Him. The deeper we understand that we are God’s valuable and precious children the easiest it would for us to welcome His love
Father how grateful I am for your unconditional love. Thank you for relentlessly pursuing me even when I show no interest in a relationship with you. Thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for your precious gift in the person of your son Jesus Christ. I realize how wrong I have been for not understanding how much you love me while I pursue earthly and temporary love. Thank you for my second chance Father God. I praise you. I honor you. I give you glory for who You are now and eternally. Amen!
Praise the Lord!
