Today I am excited.
Excited in the awesomeness of the Cross.
In the sacrifice Christ made so we can come to know Him.
Excited to share how the Cross changes Everything!
This past month has been a struggle for me in my Faith. Even though I was just baptized, I continued to doubt. Why the Christian God? Why is Christianity true over Judaism or Islam or other world religions? Even still, continuing to pray, continuing to worship, continuing to to be thankful.
Today my heart has changed. The Christian life isn't about being kind, or simply helping others. It's about the cross. It's about the Sacrifice Christ made so we can receive Grace. We don't give to feel good about ourselves. We give to show the sacrifice that Christ made for us. So you can know and see and experience Christ's Grace of forgiveness and love.
Here is a story of what Christ's sacrifice looks like:
A murderer is on death row, fully guilty of the Crime he committed. The day before he was to be put to death a man comes to him, tells him he is free, and takes his place in his cell on death row. Not only is he ready to face the impending death, but he is joyous that he can share the freedom and life that is now available.
I've never been more thankfull for the Cross the the Grace that God has given us.
Lord, I pray that other's may see who you really are. That they may see past the stereotypes this world has given you so they may receive the true gift you have given us all. Give me the strength and courage to be an example of who you are. So others can see past the petty worries ans struggles of our everyday lives. Use me here Lord.
"Oh Happiness! There is Grace, enough for us and the Whole human race!"
