The painful truth, yet joyful reality, that God loved us so much, to give Jesus as an offering for our wicked hearts, that whomever would believe in him, would live, just as Jesus would live again, as he rose from the grave, and conquered death.

This is a veiled prediction of Jesus’ death on the cross. Jesus referred to the story of Nu 21:5–9 where the Israelite people who looked at the serpent lifted up by Moses were healed. The point of this illustration or analogy is in the “lifted up.” Just as Moses lifted up the snake on the pole so that all who looked upon it might live physically, those who look to Christ, who was “lifted up” on the cross, will live spiritually and eternally.
It is our HEART, that the Lord is interested in, not checking off a box, that WE did something right before him. When we humbly bow down before him, he lifts us up! It is him who must work through us, not We, ourselves. Thank you Jesus, that you gave us your helper, your Holy Spirit, and your word, to guide and direct us. ❤️

I don’t think “ Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz” (it’s a song, for you younger people, look it up), is what the verse on the image, is talking about! On the other hand, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” , 1 Thess 5:18, is one of many Bible verses that is clearly God’s will for us. We need to be continually in God’s word, that we may clearly know his plan and will for us, along with communicating and listening to him, regularly. God Bless You Today and give you what you need……..Alan

There is no shame in suffering for being a Christian. They may hate us for our faith, but just as Jesus did, we must love those as Jesus loved us, when we were enemies of God. May God show mercy, just as he did to us, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Yet we have been set free by his Grace, through Jesus own love for us.

Salvation is free to all who come and drink from the water. The price that was paid was costly, but for those that come, they are freed from the bondage, of all that weighs them down in this fallen world. The message is simple, come. Please come? Don’t wait to the open invitation……….COME!

“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be a sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Matt 5:44-45

Unlike the world of politics, we have a higher standard. Although, we are to give special attention to those in the body of Christ, we are to reflect Jesus, through loving those who are undeserving of our love, just as we were, and God still loved us. See how this concept, goes against everything in this world tells us to do! I pray, we can find someone, undeserving today, that we might show the Love of Jesus to, this day.
Our slate is wiped clean, there is no memories of wrongs committed, we are free from the bondage of sin, our canvas is empty to start new! Jesus has taken the judgement off our backs for the wrongs done. Do we Believe this? Then let’s start this year with hope, for a new tomorrow, both now, and for all eternity. God is still on the Throne.

We need to always remember, God Loved us, in spite of our faults. Shouldn’t we do the same to others, and share the Good News, that Jesus makes us whole and right before God, not because of what we’ve done, but because of what he had done. Taken our penalty, even though he did not deserve it. What true love!
Not only is this promise, for eternity, but it is for today. Jesus, didn’t give his life, so that we can sit around and wait, for the perfect life in Heaven. He gave it so we might live now, in light of this promise, with a hope that shines a light on the Good News, that the King has come, and goes to prepare a place for us. We can live now, in freedom, from the bondage from sin, and live for him! If you are hurting today, I pray, that Jesus would show you comfort, in the midst of your trial. May you feel the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Amen.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
