It Is Finished: Easter
I am currently watching Matthew with Bruce Marchiano portraying Jesus in the video series. Here’s a link to an article describing his journey as God prepared him for that role. Has God ever asked you to do something so outrageous as this? To PORTRAY JESUS to the world? In a much different day-to-day way, isn’t that exactly WHAT is God asking YOU and ME to do?
Easter is often called Resurrection Day. We are reminded that the Lord has done what needed to be done, bridging the gap that Adam and Eve left behind. There are no works you can do to bridge that gap yourself. He lived. He died. He arose from the dead, leaving an empty tomb. And He is coming again for His own. O what a glorious day that will be! Have YOU responded to His call to be His child, so you will be able to hear when He asks you to do something outrageous?
There is ONLY ONE WAY to the Savior
What if you are NOT His own? There is only ONE WAY to Heaven. ONE WAY to salvation. JESUS is that ONE WAY. He offers you salvation through believing and receiving that He is the One way for you to be His Child.
- Receive the GIFT offered
- Receive the GIFT of salvation
- Receive the GIFT of eternal life
ACCEPT that the price has already been paid
- ACCEPT that you cannot earn it
- TRUST that it is finished
- BELIEVE that nothing more is required
How did we get in this mess?
It is because Adam and Eve did not trust God but believed satan instead. Adam and Eve messed up the Paradise God had created for them. That is why Jesus BECAME the sacrificial Lamb to make atonement for the sin nature which resides in all of us. God says in Romans that ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. You fall short. I fall short. Adam and Eve fell short. Only One person did NOT fall short…JESUS!
Jesus already did it all
His ultimate sacrifice on the Cross made a way where there was no other way.
The work is done.
PLEASE believe and receive the GIFT of eternal life that is offered to you. Don’t delay. This is serious! Especially in these perilous times during the Corona Virus Worldwide Epidemic, you never know what a day can bring. And to you who already have surrendered your life to Him, live each day as if it were your last. As if you will be seeing Him face-to-face TODAY. Because that could happen.
Don’t waste your sorrows. What would your life be like if you thought of any suffering you or your loved ones are experiencing, as the privilege of participating in Christ’s suffering. They are lessons to guide you to a deeper walk with Him. A closer relationship. Live each day with an active expectation of the second coming. Glory!
“Lord, we grieve over the suffering of our brothers and sisters…and we pray for continued steadfastness in the faith.”
March 2020 Encounter With God Devotional
To summarize:
- Believe
- Receive
- Embrace the GIFT
- Rest in Him
- Walk out of the penalty of the shadow of death into His glorious light
- After you CHOOSE to become His fully devoted follower, then LIVE like you believe you have been saved, and are saved for eternity
- Each day, let your heart’s attitude be one of gratitude to the Lord for ALL His benefits
And now we wait.
With all the hysteria today about the Virus that has descended upon the world, we wait in hope for the Lord’s return.
