Faith Comes By Hearing

     Accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord begins with the recognition of our need. Pride and self-sufficiency slip away when we realize how far we are from a holy and righteous God. And yet, He reaches out to us.

Jesus knew the pain He would suffer. He took all of our pain and sorrow on His own sinless shoulders.

In Jesus, all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:19-20o reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross. Colossians 1:19-20

     Jesus came in the fullness of God, fully man and fully God. And the blood on the cross reconciled us to Him. It was a debt we could never pay. The cross. It represents the passion of God. It represents the agonizing pain of the Lamb of God. It represents our salvation. Our debt paid in full by Jesus. Praise Him today.

Jesus,

You are the fullness of God, sent to save us. We can’t thank You enough. Use us to save others. You do not want to lose even one. We pray Your light will shine through us onto those around us, so Your sacrificial love can be honored.

Amen
