What has God done for us? Newsletter 29th April 2007

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."
John 3:16-17

Do we realize what God has done for us? Do we ever stop long enough in the hectic busyness of every day to think about the death and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ? You know I don't think we do, at least, I don’t.

We cannot come anywhere near comprehending the sacrifice and total love God gave to us when He sent His Son into this world to live, to die, and to rise from the grave. He gave us His only Son so that we shall never die, that's right eternal life! How do we get this eternal life?

It's free, all we have to do is believe, It's called faith. We are no longer alone because He is here with us. Our hearts can be filled with the peace and love of Jesus Christ.

Don’t think for a minute that your life will always be rosy. We all have our problems, on a daily basis! Loving Christ won’t change that. But now I feel I can deal with problems, because I believe that God is there in the problems with us. We can always rely on Him, Trust Him to be there for us, to listen & help if we let Him into our hearts. You see God sent His Son into this world not to judge us but to save us. To me that is what Resurrection is all about. Its about joy, It's about faith; It's about God’s love for us.

Prayer:
O Risen Lord Jesus, when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust in Your protecting love
and strengthening power, so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You, we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
We ask this in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who lives and reigns with the Father,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
Amen

God Bless,
Jane
