Give thanks, There Is a Savior

In the last post we considered the greatness of the Son of God - Jesus. Today we will consider the outrageous reality of how we have related to Him.

We have rebelled against this glorious Jesus. The truth is, as unbelievers we totally disregarded Him or imagined on the day of judgement, that we would have a chance with our own righteousness. Perhaps we imagined we would have a bone or two to pick with Him. It is hard for us to begin to comprehend how ridiculously arrogant we have all been. 

We sinned against Him by disregarding Him and His creation. We have all shattered the first and most important command; "You shall have no other god's before me", yet we have treated God as though He is nothing at all. Or perhaps we treated Him as a servant, expecting Him to come running to our aid when we felt we needed Him, maybe we blame Him for all the wrong in our lives caused by ourselves and others. Whatever, just about everything else has been more valued and had a higher priority to us than God. We have all incurred the might of His anger. 

But this One we have so foolishly angered, is the only one who can save us from the might of His wrath or anger. He did this for us by taking upon Himself all our sin and it's consequences. There is a Savior! Praise God we can know forgiveness. Give thanks that Jesus has shed His blood for you and has taken away your guilt and expunged completely your sin. Come before Him now and even as you breath in, breath in His free grace, cleansing and forgiveness and give Him thanks.
