It’s All About Jesus

What an incredible Lord and Savior we have. He is everything to us. He is the beginning and the ending of our stories, and hopefully every day in between. When others look to us, I hope they see the light and love of Jesus shining in our lives.

Often our prayers are more about what we can get from the Lord. But this week, as we approach Easter, let us take time just to praise Him for who He is. Even if He gave us nothing, He still deserves our praise.

In church a couple of Sundays ago, we were singing a worship song about how amazing it is to be loved by God, and how faithful and good He is. It struck me that He deserves more from me. More praise and gratitude. Less complaining and worrying.

When we complain and worry, we have a divided heart. We might say we trust God one moment, but our complaints and worries show how we aren’t fully trusting Him.

He is always there. Our Good Shepherd never leaves us. He faithfully watches over us, every moment. Even when we don’t see it or realize it, His goodness and mercy are chasing us down.

The God of the universe, who set each star in place, sees each of us. He hears our prayers. He cares about what we are going through. He is the most loving Father there is, which means we can trust Him to fight our battles.

He sent His one and only Son to take our place on the cross. Jesus died, so we could live. He paid the price we could never pay. How can we ever doubt His love?

As Paul asks in Romans 8:32 (NLT), “Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?”

His love for us is so overwhelming. We cannot even comprehend how vast it is.

As we approach Good Friday, let us keep in mind what Jesus did for us. The suffering He went through, for our salvation. His sacrifice is beyond words.

And as we approach Easter Sunday, may we remember His resurrection. He is no longer on the cross. He is no longer in the grave. He has risen. He defeated death and sin.

Thanks to Jesus, we have so much to be grateful. We have eternity in heaven to look forward to. And while we are on this earth, our eternal lives have already begun. We have a priceless relationship with our Almighty God. We can approach the throne of God in prayer, any moment of any day. The Holy Spirit lives inside of us, guiding us each day. And God showers us with His love and blessings, because He delights in us.

May each day of our lives be full of wonder, because of the priceless gift Jesus has given us.

I wish you all a Happy Easter, celebrating our Savior. ✝️
