You Know The Story We Need A Savior

                                             When The Door Slams

But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.                            Hebrews 2:9 NIV  

            When we dislike the ending of a book or a short Dust movie, we try to imagine a better one: what we think should have happened. The wonder and goodness of creation was broken when Adam disobeyed God. We feel the burden of this brokenness and separation from God. Thankfully, the Creator did not end the story there.

            Just as a producer determines the last scene of a movie and a writer carefully crafts the final sentence of a book, God mercifully provided what we desire and desperately need: a Savior. We can not save ourselves. Only God, who is powerful enough to create the world out of nothing and to gave us life, could find the perfect solution to our brokenness and separation from Him: 

            Jesus is God's final answer to the dilemma we face. He is God in the flesh, and the book of Hebrews elaborates on why Jesus is all we need. He is superior to every human leader, prophet, and priest. Jesus offers us Himself along with forgiveness, life, and meaning. 

            Think about this: God honors those who honor Him and put their trust in Him. Honoring ourselves is a thankless task, and hoping to be honored by others is prideful. When we acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and seek to worship and glorify Him in all we say and do, Jesus has a way of blessing us, using us, providing for us, and establishing our reputation before others.    

            Thanksgiving: praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time (1 Peter 1:3-5 NIV).                           

Ask the Spirit to search your heart ands reveal any areas of unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the LORD and thank Him for His forgiveness.
