We have Palm Sunday, celebrating the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. We have Easter Sunday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. And now, we have a new Sunday upon us. Are we back to an ordinary Sunday, back to our old routines? Or, did the last two Sundays change our view of Jesus? Through our church attendance and scriptural readings, was our heart awakened to Jesus, our Savior? Over the course of the past two weeks did we question our faith? Did we look into God’s word to seek evidence of the events of the final days of Jesus’ life here on earth? Have we taken stock of our heart condition, examined closely to see that we belong to the faith? Or have we come to a brand new realization that what I once thought true I now see with eyes of faith? I believe Jesus is the son of God. I believe He lived a perfect life and died a sacrificial death for me. I believe He rose again on the third day and is seated at the right hand of God. I believe that I am a sinner and there is no good enough in me to warrant my entrance into heaven. I repent of my sins and confess Jesus as Savior and Lord of my life. This Sunday I want everyone to know of my change: change of heart, change of direction, change in my eternal destination. Praise God! This is no ordinary Sunday! It is a new beginning. A new walk of faith.
Acts 4:10-12 “ let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
