amazing...

i have to admit that i am falling in love with my Savior every day. it seems that everyday God shows me something new or leads me to think of something like i have never thought of it before...

i kind of shared this with the youth last night. i have been reading through the gospel of luke and just finished yesterday morning. the last two chapters deal with the betrayal, arrest, crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. these two chapters came alive to me like never before. as i was reading i could actually feel the presence of God. like in some sort of supernatural way i was actually present while these events were taking place. chill bumps ran up and down my body. i actually had tears come up in my eyes and felt a deep sense of sorrow just thinking of the way Jesus was feeling when he was betrayed, how he was rejected by the very people he came to save, and when he was put through the cruelest of punishments. a murderer was set free. the perfect reflection of Majesty was crucified...

on a divine level i was there and so was everyone else past, present, and future. and praise God that the best part is the truth that Jesus is alive! this is the power of God and the truth of His Word. what other book can speak to your heart as if your life depends on it? none! only the perfectly inspired holy Word of God...

i challenged them to begin reading through the gospels. it doesn't matter if this is your first time or your one hundredth, the Word of God will speak to you and become real to you if you allow it to...

i'm starting on Mark...

God bless
