If you think about Christ's atoning sacrifice, what image's comes to your mind? Via Delarosa, the nail scared hands or the crown of thorns, what about the precious blood running down the Cross? What ever the image, I want to make this point: IT'S PERSONAL! the atoning sacrifice is a intimate issue. I think about all the times in my life when I didn't feel worthy to stand in the presence of God. My sin stained garments, righteousness as filthy rags. my spirit in the most desperate of conditions. Jesus I need you, I'm sinking in the Myer again. I can't see you! I can't hear you! Save me from myself. And then I see and feel His light. The warmth of His arms picking me up and washing me clean. Oh the love of God! Thank you Jesus for leaving the glory of heaven and giving Your life so I can kneel in the throne room and give You all the praise and honor and glory that are rightfully Yours. You see His atoning sacrifice is very personal to me. We were created to live in the holy presence of God. To bask in His goodness and to have eternal Communion at the table of the Lord. Is Jesus your personal Lord and Saviour? Invite Him into your life and let not His atoning sacrifice be in vain. The Lion of Judah bids you come and partake of His goodness. May His mercy and grace fill your life, so much so, that a river of life will flow forth out of your being. "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

I want you to consider this fact: Jesus Christ Left all His glory in heaven, all the splendor and majesty that was enthroned around Him and came to earth to live a servants life. I would like to ask this question, whom did Jesus serve? Jesus' life of servanthood took Him many places. As I stated above, it brought Him to earth, but where else did this lifestyle lead him? This lifestyle led Him to the Temple in Jerusalem, where He awed the teachers of the law with wisdom from a heavenly perspective. There were many towns and villages in the piece of realestate where Jesus lived. And in these towns and villages he met and established relationships with people of all backgrounds. Fishermen, Tax collecters, a Doctor, and even teachers of the law. This lifestyle even led Him to the highrs court in the land. However, the question still remains, whom did Jesus serve? You see a servants life in this time was a lowly state of existance. A humble and meek life, Yet Jesus is the King of Kings and The Lord of Lords. How could this be? The Darling of heaven a servant? I say to you, yes! A servent. You see, Jesus did not come to be served. He came to serve you and me. If you take the time and read His story, you will find out that not only did he come to serve us. He came to save us. Save us from our sin. Our salvation came to us through the hands of a servant!

I want everyone to know that JESUS CHRIST is the Son of God! All things were created through Him. God's love is manifested in Jesus Christ, His Son. He is the King and Lord of my life! Can you hear the voice of God calling out to you when you lay your head on your pillow at night? God longs to have a relationship with each one of us. In the still of your heart call out to Him and He will answer your call. He answerd mine!
