the truth of the Gospels,
prayers at Gethsemane,
the veil torn in two,
and His Son to save us from our sins.
The Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They give us such an awesome picture of Jesus' life from four different perspectives. And what I love is that, according to a source I read, Luke specifically wrote his version with the Gentiles in mind! Jesus didn't just come for the Jews -- He came for *everyone*. Isn't that an amazing, comforting thought?
I read a little story somewhere about a man who was a pastor. He dreamed of an alternate world where Jesus had not (yet) come for all of mankind. He was overcome by the sadness he felt because the Hope of the world had not given the greatest sacrifice of all. There was no hope.
I thought about that story for a long time. I cannot imagine a day without Jesus. I know I'm not the best, and I often drift, especially while grieving, but when I reach out for Him He's there to give me a hand up. He's there to correct me, guide me, and hear my pleas. He loves me no matter how much I flop around uselessly. I'm not sure I could walk through another day in an uncertain world without the absolute certainty of Jesus' presence and saving grace.
I pray that you can find peace and comfort in Jesus today. I pray that, if you feel low, He lifts you up. I pray that, if you are celebrating, that He provides the cheer. I pray that, if you feel lost, He guides you onto His path to walk with Him. Wherever you are, Jesus can come to you. You cannot run so far away that He has no idea where you are. He always knows. He forgives when we ask. He loves unconditionally. You cannot go wrong with Jesus. I pray you find that place in His resting arms today.
John 16:33 (NASB)
33 These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”*Graphic at beginning of page is from the website The Graphics Fairy. All credit for the lovely image belongs to them.
