If Not Him…

Mark 14: 36 “And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.

Celebrating Christmas just a few months ago, remembering the birth of Jesus. The virgin birth, the angels rejoicing, the shepherds being notified. The love of God in human flesh. Fully man and fully God. A Babe on a mission. To save those in need of saving. Me. You. Them. Separation from God. Restoration in our relationship is possible. God’s Divine plan in motion. Jesus lived a perfect life. Was in all points tempted yet never sinned. He gets us.

On this Good Friday, I pray you reflect on Jesus and this great act of love for you poured out at the cross. The gravity of that moment was not lost on me. Praise God He opened my eyes and I cried out to Jesus, “Save me! I repent. I love you. I want You, Jesus.” And in that moment, I became a child of God. The searching, the questioning, the listening all came to a head. And in a single moment, I had a decision to make. If not Him, if not Jesus then my destiny for all eternity would have a different path. Thank you, Jesus.

Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
