A Better Law

Christ brings a new agreement from God to his people.  Hebrews 9:15

There was nothing inferior about the Jewish religion.  It was given by God and designed by God.  Every principle, rule, and ritual had a wealth of meaning.  The Old Testament served as a faithful guide for thousands of people over thousands of years.  It was the best offered to man.

But when Christ came, the best got better…It’s not that the old law was bad, it’s just that the new law—salvation by faith in Christ

Trading Places

He was born to be a man and became like a servant.  Philippians 2:7

Holiday travel.  It isn’t easy.  They why do we do it?  Why cram the trunks and endure the airports?  You know the answer.  We love to be with the ones we love…

May I remind you?  So does God… Between him and us there was a distance—-a great span.  And he couldn’t bear it.  He couldn’t stand it.  So he did something about it.  “He gave up his place with God and made himself nothing” (Phil. 2:6).

Six Hours

He really was the Son of God!  Matthew 27:54

Six hours one Friday…What do these six hours signify?...

For the life blackened with failure, that Friday means forgiveness.

For the heart scarred with futility, that Friday means purpose.

And for the soul looking into this side of the tunnel of death, that Friday means deliverance.

Cleansing Blood

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. Ephesians 1:7, KNJV

The blood of Christ does not cover your sins, conceal your sins, postpone your sins, or diminish your sins.  It takes away your sins, once and for all time.

Jesus allows your mistakes to be lost in His perfection.

Thoughts

-  Without a heart aflame for God, we cannot shine for Jesus.

- Even though you can’t control your circumstances, you can control your attitude.

- Instead of counting the days, make your days count.

- You cannot run the race until you learn to walk.
