The Word Became Flesh

Last night at Genesis (our church's young adult ministry), our pastor, Robbie, talked about celebrating the life and the death of Jesus...celebrating because He endured such humbled circumstances, such cruelty, such brutality for me and for you.
For my sin.
For your sin.
Out of love.
Out of mercy.
Filled with compassion.
Free from anger.


And He broke the chains of sin and of death.  They are gone.

Hallelujah!

Sometimes it can be so easy to forget why we are on this earth.  We are here for God.  We are made for Him, and we are called to live for Him, to love for Him, to praise Him.  He is life.  His kingdom is light. With Him there is joy everlasting and life without end.

Hallelujah!


Thank you, Jesus!

Amen! Its such a great sacrifice I don't feel like I can truly fathom it with this human mind. So true we are made for Him. "We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody"
