I hope the depth and majesty of this season is touching your spirit and your heart.

Jesus said, “I have come to seek and to save the lost.” I was one of the lost 34 years ago, I am so thankful that someone shared the good news with me. I shudder to think of the person I would have turned out to be without the loving influence of the Holy Spirit in my life.

Tomorrow is Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified for my bad decisions, the day He took the punishment for my greed, my lust, my anger, my coveting, my lying, my worship of material goods, wealth, and pride. This is personal to me, because others said I was a good man, a good person; if I had died at 15 I would have spent eternity in torment and suffering. That was unacceptable to Jesus and He sacrificed Himself for me. I will forever be grateful of His love and forgiveness, I stand in awe of His great love.

Sunday is coming, with His resurrection He took the keys of death and hell away from the enemy. His resurrection is the power in which my life was transformed and I moved from death to life. By the power of His resurrection I have hope, I have joy, I have peace, I have become more patient, gentle and kind; by His resurrection I am a better human being. I am who I am today, because He is who He is everyday. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever.

Please look around you today, who do you know who needs to meet Jesus, who do you know who is lost, discouraged, disillusioned, disappointed in life, who do you know who is lonely… Who do you know that if they died today would be lost forever? Please do what Jesus did, care enough to talk to them, to interact with them, to see their value in the bigger picture. Let’s be about our Savior’s work.

God bless you all, have a wonderful Resurrection weekend!
