I think it's funny how today, April 22, 2011, two events are being celebrated. The main one on everyone's mind it seems is Earth Day. While my husband and I aren't "Greenies" we do believe that God created the earth and He has called us to be stewards over all that He has made. And, because of that reason we try to reduce, reuse, recycle as best as we can. Yet, with Easter around the corner many are forgetting that today is also Good Friday. The day our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross for my and everyone's sins. He bore the wrath, that we should have but couldn't. Jesus was the perfect, holy, blameless lamb...the perfect sacrifice for the world's sin. I think it so amazing how God, so loved us in all our sinfullness, that He sent His Son to die on our behalf, but that's not the end of the story. Nope. Sunday's a Comin'! So today, let's focus on worshiping the Creator, the One Who created everything...{ "For by Him [Jesus] allthings were created: things in heaven and on earth.. all things were created by Him and for Him. ~Col 1: 16. For He alone is worthy to receive all praise and glory. We are reminded in Romans 1:24,25 that it is a lie to worship creation.} ... And, remember what He did for you on that cross.
"and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed." 1 Peter 2:24
"The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life." ~Matthew 17:22,23
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.'" John 11:25-26
Soli Deo Gloria!
