KEY SCRIPTURE: John 8:24 KJV” I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins”.
The story is told about a professor who joined a fisherman in his canoe to cross a river. As they went along the professor asked the fisherman, do you know anything about chemistry. He said no. Then the professor said, you have lost twenty percent of your life. He asked the fisherman again; do you know anything about metallurgy? He said to him, no. He added, then forty percent of your life is gone. Before He would ask another question, the fisherman also asked the professor, if this canoe is to capsize would you be able to swim to safety? The professor said no. He said to him, if you can’t swim, then your whole life is lost. This fisherman added the following statement, in a similar vein, if you do not know Jesus, your whole life is also gone. You would be lost eternally.
In Matt 27:22 ” Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.” Today I wish to ask you, what would you do with Jesus? Without Him you are lost, in your sins. With your faith in Him, your sins are no more, for Jesus is the lamb of God who took away, the sins of the world. John 1:29. The Lord Jesus did not only bear our sins; He took away our sicknesses and pains. Amplified Bible, Classic Edition Isaiah 53:4″ Surely, He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. You can only receive healing in His name if you would accept, He has indeed borne our diseases.
The scripture reveals in Jesus dwells the fulness of God’s wisdom. Col 2:3 KJV” In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” The scriptures say further that in Jesus is the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:9 and we are complete in Him. This means we are also filled up with Him. In Christ Jesus, we are made masters over Satan and His host of devils. Col 2:15, Heb 2:14. Whosoever has Jesus has eternal life.1 John 5:13. What will you do with Jesus? To all who have surrendered their lives to Him, remain strong in Him, but if not Jesus is the greatest experience you can have. Choose to believe in Him.
CONFESSION
Jesus is God’s answer for all of man’s questions, I put my total trust in Him. I surrender the reign of my life to Him. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
THOUGHT: JESUS IN YOU, MAKES LIFE MEANINGFUL.
