Prayer
– Lord Jesus, I am in awe of You. Risen from the dead. Alive…and now seated at
the right hand of God Almighty—our Heavenly Father. You are alive. I serve a risen
Savior. I humbly ask that You would give me wisdom, understanding, and guide me
as I joyously seek You daily—walking in Your footsteps.

Where are
you looking for a savior? Are you looking among the dead? Do you think you can
receive enlightenment from the dead Buddha? Are you following any Hindu gods? Do
you know that all people sin and don’t measure up to the purity that the
Almighty God expects?
But now God has shown us a way to
be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was
promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. We are made right
with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone
who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall
short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness,
declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed
us from the penalty for our sins. Romans
3:21-24 NLT (Underlined for emphasis.)
It was
Jesus who set us free from the sin that would keep us from ever coming close to
God. His sacrifice was death on the cross that most of the world has heard
about at some time. The cross is the symbol of Christianity.
If you
are looking for a savior from your sins—look no further. Jesus is that savior.
He has already given His life just for you. All you have to do is admit that
you have sinned and ask for forgiveness. That’s it. God will declare you righteous.
Then you’ll be accepted into eternal life in God’s presence. The alternative is
to reject Jesus as your savior and spend eternity away from the presence of
God. Personally, I choose to spend eternity with God—serving the risen Savior, Jesus.
He is alive. I’m not sure what job heaven holds for me—painting murals,
planting pansies by the golden streets, singing daily around His Throne, or
being a priest in His Temple—I am ready and willing to serve. I hear that
Heaven is a wonderful place. I want to go there!
Do you
choose to accept all that Jesus has to offer you? Freedom from sin, undeserved kindness
from Almighty God Himself who will declare you righteous, and a filling of the
Holy Spirit that will give you love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. The choice is yours.
Verse
of Salvation ~ God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to
bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make
Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their
salvation. Hebrews
2:10 NLT
Joyous Resurrection Sunday to each of you!
May God Bless You as You Seek & Serve Him.
