“NO WONDER THEY CALL HIM SAVIOR, JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD”

“NO WONDER THEY CALL HIM SAVIOR, JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD”

“He laid aside all the heavenly glory to be God’s word in the image of man All to show me that grace, faith and mercy Was the mystery and wonder of eternity’s plan? And then He carried my sin onto Calvary And clearly having no guilt of His own He was nailed to a cross of my making But He used it to bridge ore’ the void to God’s throne. NO WONDER THEY CALL HIM SAVIOR, JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD. I WASN’T THERE, WHEN THE EARTH WAS CREATED SO, I’VE NO PROOF THAT HE HUNG EVERY STAR, BUT I KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WAS WITHOUT HIM AND THE JOY THAT WAS MINE WHEN HE RESCUED MY HEART.” (Larnelle Harris)

Such awe inspiring words, But today friends I want you to Focus on the PASSION OF THE CROSS, and the words “ KNOW WHAT MY LIFE WAS WITHOUT HIM, AND THE JOY THAT WAS MINE WHEN HE RESCUED MY HEART.”

As we look back over our lives every situation, circumstances, and time is unique for each of us when we allowed the arm of the Good Shepherd to REACH, some farther then others, and rescue us from the clutches of Satan. And now you ask Him.

Continue to “Put your hand out and steady me since I’ve chosen to live by your counsel. I’m homesick God for your salvation; I love it when you show yourself! Invigorate my soul so I can praise you well, use your decrees to put iron in my soul. And should I wander off again like a lost sheep, seek me! I’LL RECOGNIZE THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE.” Psalm 119:169-176(The Message)

I can recalled my first triathlon  practicing every day for several months. My weakness was swimming, so most of my concentration went into pool time. But my big mistake was not practicing in open water. Race day came my Daughter and I left for the beech early in anticipation for our first triathlon.

Well the swimming is the first sage of the race followed by biking, then running. Well as I looked out over the vast amount of water that I would have to conquer first, a little voice told me Hmm! Pool, open water, not quite the same but off to the races I can do this.

Well about 20 meters into a 800 meter swim that same voice told me YOU AN’T going to make it there is no bottom to this water. At that moment I raised my hand for the little boat to come RESCUE me. How embarrassing, out of maybe 1200 participants I was the only one who wasn’t prepared  to finish the race because if  you don’t complete one stage you can’t continue the race.

I was determined to get it right so the next year I did FINISH. My friends that is the same way with sin when we move into a world that we are unprepared to handle because we have not girded our loins with truth, and put on the breastplate of righteousness; and covered our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace , and held on to the shield of faith and the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God and with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons.

FAITH, SPIRIT, WORD OF GOD, AND PRAYER IN ALL SEASONS are key words my friends. What a price our Savior paid for each of us to be prepared for His second coming. Oh the grace, mercy and the PASSION OF CHRIST, to continue to RESCUE us, just when we need Him the most.

God has, and He will continue to “RESCUE us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,” Col. 1:13 Paul also tells us in Galatians 1:3-4 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to RESCUE us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father.”

So my friends it’s the will of the Father that His Son the GOOD SHEPHERD RESCUES HIS LOST SHEEP because we are also His children, made in the very image of God, and that gives us the same DNA as His only Begotten Son, if we believe. What a wonderful feeling. But we can also choose not to be RESCUED while sinking deep in sin. But my friends God never leaves us, we are the one’s who decides to leave Him. NO WONDER THEY CALL HIM SAVIOR, JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
