Just for me...

Greetings!

Today is Resurrection Sunday. Many people call it "Easter," but the people of God know that it means much more than a day to dress up and visit the family. Today is symbolic of the day Jesus Christ rose from the grave, and that is good news because it means that He forever conquered death...not just for Him, but for all of us. Praise God!

In John 3:16 it says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." What Jesus did on that cross said that He loved us more than He loved His own life. He sacrificed His life so that we could have eternal life with Him. Nobody else could have done that. Just for me....

The amazing thing is that because we believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ saved us, and we have repented of our sins and asked for forgiveness, all of our sins have been erased. We have been forgiven. In the eyes of God, it is like we have never sinned. We get a complete do-over. Just for me....

Once we understand that even if I (make it personal) was the only person left on the earth, God would have still sent Jesus to save me, it changes us. You can't believe that and still feel the same. To know that the Father loves me that much, that even before I was born He already had a plan in place to save me. Oh my goodness! I am so overwhelmed by His grace and His love toward us.

Just for me...

Until next time...

Be blessed
