I just sitting at Panera doing a little study and i just thought i would write a quick blog so here ya are. This weekend is rather a big weekend in Christianity. This weekend all over the world people bust out there best shirt and nicest pants and head of to do there yearly duty of going to church on Easter. If i had to guess, i would day there will probably be several million more people in the pew or cool chair this Sunday than last Sunday. This means there is truly are great opportunity for pastors to preach the Gospel and we know God will save some!
I can remember growing up and hearing about Jesus my whole life. I knew that Jesus died for my sins and that i needed to ask Him into my heart. I new the part about Jesus forgiving me for my past sins. However i always missed the rest of the Gospel. I missed the part that actually gives power to overcome sin! I missed the Imputed Righteousness of Jesus. I missed the fact that He accomplished perfection for me! I find that for many people Salvation is a magical prayer and then moral reform with asking God to forgive for sins we might have done that day, and miss that we actually get a new heart and a credit of being perfect!
God was angry with our sin and us and He took that out on Jesus to satisfy His wrath. Its my fault Jesus went to the cross. Jesus propitiated Gods wrath and He took it for His church. Our righteousness is not our own, we must see this! Jesus is the hero! He lived the perfect life, died for his people, and then the grave could not contain Him. Celebrate Christ!
