Jesus’
ransom sacrifice & victorious resurrection is a miracle we’ll celebrate
throughout eternity. The wonder, majesty & sheer awe are far beyond our
comprehension; yet, even the glimpses we do see overpower us with adoration...
We can’t help but praise Him for such an awesome demonstration of love…
Think
about it… we are cleansed – from head to toe; A to Z; past, present, &
future – all sin’s guilty stain is gone and we are able to stand before Our
Holy God justified (“just-as-if-I-never-sinned”
as pastors often say). Please don’t stop here, there is so much more…think
about this….
Jesus came because He
wants YOU! He didn’t come just to collect your filthy sins – that was just a
fringe benefit! He wants YOU – every part… Your Beloved Savior, with heart ablaze,
came to claim YOU as His Bride…
…Our Great GOD and Savior Jesus Christ, who
gave Himself for us
to redeem us from all lawlessness and
to purify for Himself a people for His Own
possession
who are zealous for good works.
Titus 2:13-14
The
KJV elaborates on the phrase, “His Own
possession” saying, “His Own peculiar
treasure.” God calls you a treasure…that is a far cry from how most of us
describe ourselves isn’t it?
God
has claimed you FOREVER…
He
loves you in the extreme & infinite…
He
proved it with His life, death, & resurrection…
He
cannot possibly love you anymore than He does right this minute!
He promised
never to leave you or fail you!
He
is so confident in His transforming LOVE and LIFE in you He boldly stakes His
entire reputation, putting you on display as work of art… How can we give any
less than our ALL?
Live
every second as His Own, set apart exclusively from all others, & willing to
follow His lead – even if it leads to your own cross! Live your love out loud…
when we get to heaven we will never regret how much we declared our love for
Him! He is so worth it!
