TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on clothes.” Galatians 3:27
TODAY’S MESSAGE: As a Christian we all believe in Christ as our Lord and Savior. We all believe that Jesus walked this earth and performed miracles along the way. We believe that he touched the lame, restored those who needed restoring and left for us the greatest of all gifts when he left this earth, his blood. When he went to the cross Jesus left the most precious gift he could have left us. On the moments before he died on the cross, he was already shedding his blood in our defense. He had blood dripping into his eyes from the crown of thorns placed on his head as they mocked him. He was bleeding from the many lashes received from the lead tipped whips they used to whip him. As he walked along, in what looked like shame, he was not moving in the direction of weakness but in the direction of strength. He was the living God, the mentor of our faith and the Savior of the world. All of what he had gone through before his crucifixion was all a display of strength and faith. All of these characteristics were shown for our benefit as he came to save us and strengthen us. It is important that we understand the importance of the blood of Jesus, how powerful it is and what has already done for us. It is not about what we want in life, our nice home, a great family, a great job or whatever else we think will make our lives easier. It is about our eternal life in heaven. It’s about our faith that needs to be nurtured every day. It is about making sure that we are telling others about Jesus and the way to heaven. It is about the way we live our lives on the earth just as Jesus lived his. His blood is what matters! It is through the shedding of his blood that we are afforded the ability pray to our God in heaven. It is through his shed blood that we receive miracles every day in our lives. It is through his shed blood that you and I never have to go through that horrible death in order to get into heaven. The blood of Jesus is powerful, loving, caring and the strength that we need to reach our goal of eternal life. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
