For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Luke 19:10

“There is None Like Jesus”

Good Morning Beloved,

Jesus is real and He is awesome!  I mean when we really stop to think about His character He is fabulous!  Years ago, I had to fly to Atlanta for a business meeting.  It was my very first time on a plane and, let’s just say terrified could not adequately describe the fear I felt.  I did what any new born again believer would do…. I prayed, told God my life was in His hands, that He was the same God who protected me everyday on the ground, and this would be no different.  Then I promptly …. continued to be scared out of my wits … until I grabbed my little ‘purse’ bible and started to read.  As I read about through the Gospels, I saw a picture of our Savior.  Jesus… wise, kind, powerful, no-nonsense, straight-forward, compassionate with a great sense of humor.  He loves people, but He is not controlled by them.  He knew His purpose and even through His crises in the Garden of Gethsemane, there was no doubt that He would complete His mission, and glorify The Father.  There is none like Him.  Many put themselves in harm’s way every day to save the lives of perfect strangers.  Some even save people they don’t like.  Our Lord Jesus loved us so much that He sacrificed His life to place us back in fellowship with Himself.  He was the only One that could do it.  He is complete perfection.  We didn’t even know what was missing… but He did.  We didn’t know how lost we were… but He did. We didn’t know the horrors that were waiting for us… but He did.  After His bloody, horrific death, He was buried.  The blessed truth for the Child of the Living God is that He didn’t stay there.  He went to Hell and took the keys to death, hell and the grave and on the third day He got up.  He didn’t forget His disciples, hiding in fear.  The King of kings appeared to them, comforted them, gave them instructions, endowed them with power, and ascended to His Heavenly Throne.  What a mighty God we serve! He is so unique and all encompassing, that He can dwell on high and in our hearts at the same time.  How does that work?  He is God.  He is the God of all who embrace the gift of Jesus. 

 
But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name…

John 1:12 

There is none like Him… and that my friend is Good News!

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Day!

Leap of Faith -Acts 4:12 109 of 119   Living in the Sin building may seem pleasant for a while, but it’s a firetrap, and eventualyeventuallyt will burn down around you. Thankfully, there is a way of escape: the saving grace of Jesus. January 26, 2009 Symphony -Romans 15:5 101 of 119   The church is made up of diverse peoples,with different cultures and styles. But, we can come together in unity when we are all following Jesus. November 9, 2008 Proposal -Hosea 2:19,20 110 of 119   Jesus has made His proposal to the world, offering gifts of love and righteousness. The people of the world would be crazy not to accept his offer. February 9, 2009 Fishing Lure -Matthew 4:19 112 of 119   People don’t need to be beat on the head with the bad news that they are condemned for being a sinner. We should be telling them the good news, that Jesus loves them and died to redeem them from condemnation. February 22, 2009

Rescue Copter -Psalm 89:14 1 of 119   Our God is a God of justice, but also a God of mercy. Through the blood of Jesus, God’s mercy is available to us now. It is up to us to decide to accept it. We don’t want to be camping out in “Sin Forest” when judgment time comes.
