Jesus

I was thinking. Actually, I was praying, starting to do my morning devotional. Anyway, our world is in an awful mess. Today is Easter. The day celebrate our Risen Savior. Savior. What a wonderful word! The Lamb of God who was slain. He wasn't slain just for the people of His time. He was slain for the people of ALL time. He took on my sin, your sin, everyone's sin. He loved the people - regardless of their sins. He loved Judas. He loved the Pharisees, Sadducees, the Romans, Pilate, Herod, the criminials hung on either side of Him. He loved the tax collector, the woman caught in adultery, the leper, the man with the legion of devils inside of him. He gave us an example of how we are supposed to live. He gave us hope. The Bible is all about HIM and His life, His love, His death and His life again. From Genesis to Revelation.
I said this world is in an awful mess, and it is. But, we can have hope. If we accept Jesus' sacrifice on... the cross for us, if we turn to Him and away from our sins, if we decide we don't want our old life anymore, and we want a new life in Him, we can have hope. I'm thankful for my hope in Jesus. I'm thankful that Jesus took my place on that cross.
My heart breaks for those of you who refuse to accept Christ. Also, for those of you who don't believe in Christ. Where is your hope? In this world? I have news for you. Even if you don't care or believe what the Bible says, your hope in this world is foolish. Pay attention to what is going on around you. Watch the news. Watch the people around you. This world isn't getting better. It's getting worse.
Well, that's enough of my sermonizing for now. I love you and I'm praying for you.
I AM BLESSED!!
Keep Smiling!! :)
