MY FRIENDS, HE THOUGHT WE WERE WORTH SAVING, SO HE SACRIFICED HIS LIFE!!!

You thought [we were] worth saving So you came and changed [our] life. You thought [we were] worth keeping so you cleaned [us] up inside. You thought [we were] to die for so you sacrificed your life So [we] could be free So [we] could be whole So [we] could tell everyone [we] know [Jesus saves] (Anthony Brown & Group Theoapy)

My friends, let’s make it personal today. A wretched sinner like you and I “He thought we were worth saving so He sacrificed His life” and made us whole again. But we must stay focused and continue living in His presence until we can hear him say.

“Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matt. 25:21 (KJV) But, there is a problem, the god of this world continues to entice us with the things of this world.

In addition, if we are not prayed up and keep heaven and God’s word on our mind, it becomes so easy to become distracted by Satan’s tactics to destroy us. Have you ever been driving, listening to the music on your CD and all of a sudden you are off course, with no clue how you got so far off course from the place you were attempting to go.

So you make a U-turn. My friends, That is Satan’s strategy, he draws our attention away from the love and grace of our Savior and before we know it, we are off course, with no clue how we got to the place where sin has abounded to such an astronomical level in our life.

And now we are “sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore” and the loving arms of the one “who thought we were worth saving.”The one who Sacrificed His life and cleanse us from our unrighteousness.

But, we must recognize that we have strayed and gotten of course. And sin, like cancer cells, continues to grow within us and instead of dying, cancer forms new abnormal cells while traveling to other parts of the body where they begin to replace normal cells.

“And if  the cancer or our sins are not entirely eradicated, they will continue to multiply and will eventually take control and kill us. My friends, today we must look at the world as one huge cancer cell that has no intention of going away until God says “it is finished.”

And what little time we have left Satan the one who said “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, I will make myself like the Most High.” Is. 14:13-14 (KJV) is trying to replace the love grace and mercy of our Savior with his counterfeit plan of salvation.

“All these things I will give you if You will fall down and worship me.” Matt. 4:9 (NKJV)  My friends it is time we make a U-turn while grace still abounds and our Savior knocks to enter our heart with hands outstretched for us to return home so He can put us right back on that journey He had us on before we strayed.

But remember, the road to the Promise land  is still a hard and narrow road, the terrain is just as rugged and there are still mountains we must climb along the way. But if we have faith and endure, one day soon we will enter that place “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 (NKJV)

My Friends, where there is no vision, the people perish…..Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)
