No Greater Love

Wednesday October 24, 2018

God’s great love for women and men sent Jesus to the world to pay the price for our freedom from sin. 

Jesus said, “No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.” (John 10:18 NLT)  

All of our sin – from the beginning of time to the end of time – was laid on Jesus at the cross and not even the weight of that could hold him down.  Jesus died to free us from the power of sin and was resurrected from the dead.  Jesus’ resurrection demonstrates that no darkness or evil, no pain or brokenness can overcome the power and love of God.

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him.  This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT)

No matter how destructive our lives have been, not even the weight of that can hold us down when we are in Christ.  The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in all who completely surrender their will and their lives to God.  Are we willing to push back doubt and unbelief and turn our will and our lives over to the care of God? 


The Bible says, God works for good in all things for those who love Him, those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28 NIV)

What seems impossible for us to believe is only impossible when God is not involved.  When we seek God, things will happen that are beyond all that we could ask for or imagine.  God’s power will help us stand when we feel like we are about to fall.  He will shelter us from the destroyer and keep us in perfect peace even when the storms of life are raging. 





Prayer: Gracious God, Who am I, a mere human, that You would do so much for me.  My heart is overwhelmed by Your compassion and tenderness.  Forgive me when I forget that You truly are an awesome God who works all things together for good in my life. Amen
