It's the night before Good Friday
Good because
Jesus, God the Son
obediently
gave His Life
as a payment for my sins
God killed Him
sin needed to be dealt with
sacrifice needed to be made
God the Son,
the lamb without blemish
the ultimate and the only sufficient one.
heart wrenching
every year
so very, very important to remember
came back from Israel two weeks ago, reality driven deeper into my soul
experienced more intimately
thankful that through what He did, I, a Gentile
was now able to be added to the family
thanks to
my brother,
Jesus
full of passion for Him, my heart overflowing with a love like no other for Him,
teaching on the Early Church this week
I challenged the ladies that we too need to live like they did
doing life together,
authentically
serving, loving, encouraging, supporting, learning,
drawing closer and closer to Him
together
standing up and speaking truth
sharing who He is with all those around us,
in deed and word,
and love
a friend shared this:
Gospel Truth + Gospel Culture = Power
tonight,
tomorrow
and every day
I want to make much of Jesus
I want to live in such a way
that others can see that He is indeed who He said He is
God's Son,
the King of Kings
the Lord of Lords
with Him as my Lord,
with the Holy Spirit in me
I can choose not to sin,
forgive instead of becoming bitter
consider others more important than myself
bringing His light into dark situations.
By His unending grace and for His sake.
We NEED to!
