Jesus Saves YOU!

Colossians 1:21&22
"21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled
22 In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:"

But, Wait! There's more!
Not only was Jesus BOTH the priest and the sacrifice!  "the LAMB of GOD, which taketh AWAY the SIN of the WORLD." as John the Baptizer introduced  Him, also Jesus preformed reconciliation. We all fall away from God's teaching and we insist on doing our own thing. Which is sin. This is a deep disagreement between God and all people. This disagreement the Son settled once and for all on the cross. The Lamb of God, the priceless sacrifice. And, as Paul points out in the verse not merely all humanity, but “all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven.” This is, indeed, only a fuller exposition of the truth that God was in Christ reconciling the world, or as the Greeks would express it; the KOSMOS! That's everything!!

And, we can deceive ourselves and trick our heart and mind to think that Jesus did not save me. But, you would be wrong, today's verses; "And YOU, that were sometime ALIENATED and ENEMIES in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled In the body of His flesh through death, to present YOU holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:" That's YOU that think God didn't mean to save you. That's YOU that think you messed up too many times for GOD to still care. That's YOU that thinks you can never be good enough for God. That's YOU that GOD wants to save... YOU. Look in the mirror, God died on the cross for YOU.
I know it's unbelievable, but it's TRUE! 
JESUS SAVES YOU.

to be taller

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
