Verse of the day
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
- Matthew 18:1-4 (ESV)
Frankly, I don’t know how the parents of young children do it all, but it is great to be at church each week and see such constant love and care, devotion, protection and provision for those little ones. And it keeps on full strength 24/7 with no stopping.
Here’s some great news! There’s Someone who loves and cares about us constantly like that; the One we can finally put full trust in, the One who is powerful enough to do the job right and is always there.
In John 10:11 the Bible describes how far Jesus Christ has gone to break through to us. He describes Himself here as a shepherd, and you and me as sheep for whom He will do anything. Anything? Jesus says here, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” I have seen such commitment that will make a person do whatever it takes to protect those they love. Jesus is the Saviour who will do whatever it takes, including a brutal death on a cross, because He cares about us so much.
So the Son of God left heaven, climbed down the ladder to this selfish planet, and died on a cross, separated from God, to tear open the wall between us and God. This makes what we do with Jesus really serious business. The only response that will bring this incredible love into your life is for you to say, “Jesus, I’m done driving my life. I’m turning to You with all my heart because You loved me enough to die for me.”
You may have heard about His love a thousand times. Maybe you’ve never responded to it until now. If you want to begin your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, then tell Him that right now, “Jesus, I am Yours.” This is so very important because God will never forget what you do with His Son. Not after all His Son has done for you! – Pastor Doug Wilson email: pastordougwilson@aol.com
