The Cross

As we approach Easter, let's remember the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus paid for humanity.  Many times we focus on the pain and suffering and the ultimate death on a cross.  Let us also remember he emptied Himself of his divine attributes and limited Himself to the form of man.  Humbled Himself and became obedient for our sakes.  Jesus came into the world not to condemn the world, but to redeem it.  Redeem means to buy back as if your were a slave, and that is exactly what we were.  Sold out to the Devil in slavery to sin and rebellion.  God so loved the world He gave...gave the most precious gift there ever could be.  God gave of Himself, of His very existence and for you and me.  Please avail yourself of this wondrous gift, a free gift that cost nothing more than our obedience.  Jesus came that we might have life and have it in an abundant measure.  When Jesus was on the cross each one of us was on His mind.  Salvation is free to us, and blessing are unlimited.  If you don't know Jesus as your saviour, pray a simple prayer, Jesus forgive me and save me!  It's that simple.  Pray, believe, and receive it!  God Bless.  Get ready to fly!
