Words of Encouragement
March - 12 - 2006
"Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. There's just something about that name!" The words to the song are right. Salvation from what is warped andbroken in our world is found in no one else. He is our Savior because he was willing to come to this world, bear our limitations, shame, and sin and then triumph over them.
These verses give us the key to having life in the name of our Lord Jesus.
Christ today! Let us read John 20:30-31.
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples,which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
Let us pray.
Through the precious name of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, our Lord, we thank and praise you. Your love has given the sacrifice for our sins and Your power has given us the assurance of our resurrection from the dead. Your Son's willingness to spend a lifetime with us gave us a Great High Priest who intercedes with empathy for our struggles. His example lets us know of Your great love. Thank you, O God! Thank you for being so gracious and giving us such a wonderful Savior.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
