 How grateful I am for the presence of Jesus in my heart and life, now and eternally! Christ is the "author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2) through which believers gain access to God's grace and receive His precious gift of everlasting life. Now, we walk by faith and not by sight, but one day we will see our Lord and Savior face to face and spend eternity with Him. What a most wonderful hope that we have in Jesus Christ! Praise God!

Our Wonderful Savior ( April 5, 2023) “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2) When I stand watching a glorious Easter sunrise and rejoicing that my personal Savior Jesus Christ lives, my heart is flooded with gratitude for the sacrifice that my risen L ORD made for me. My mind is overwhelmed when I consider the enormity of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection through which believers have been freed from the bondage of our sin and raised with Him to eternal life. I cannot begin to humanly comprehend the physical and mental suffering and shame that the Son of God willingly chose to endure to redeem us of our sins, reconcile us to t...

Jesus said in John 16:33, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Despite the troubles and trials that are a reality of life in a fallen world, faith in Jesus Christ gives every believer ultimate triumph over their temporal earthly circumstances and the assurance of an eternal heavenly home in our Lord's presence. By God's grace through trust in Jesus' supreme sacrifice for our sins, we are reborn spiritually and become new creations in Christ with transformed hearts that desire to love and serve and renewed minds that seek to do God's will, not our own. Good will ultimately overcome evil; faith in Christ is the victory that overcomes the world! Paul said in reference to Jesus in Romans 8:37, "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us."

  “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” (Psalm 8:3-4) The unseasonably mild, spring-like weather we’ve enjoyed for much of this week (while other parts of our nation have been under severe winter alerts) has drawn many of us into the great out-of-doors and allowed us again to behold God’s wondrous works. In awe of the beauty of His marvelous creations, my heart is flooded with praise and gratitude that God is not only mindful of His human handiworks but He loves each of us and died so that we could have the opportunity to spend eternity with Him in a heavenly paradise the beauty and magnificence of which we cannot even begin to comprehend! Nature not only irrefutably confirms that God exists but points to His abounding grace which is sufficient for all of our needs, the greatest of which is our need as sinners for a Savior. Jesus Chris...
