Almost, there is no one alive today has not heard the story of Jesus, the crucifixion and burial, and of course, His resurrection!  Many believe it, many do not.  Jesus was a historical figure, that, no one will deny. What many deny is that His life made any real difference.  I believe the only way you can know the answer to that question is if Jesus has become “real” in your heart, then, and only then, does this incredible story make sense.

 

For just as minute let me speak to those that do not believe, assuming any of those folks ever come here.  How can I “know” He is real, that He truly is the Son of God, and that His ministry, life and death and resurrection here has made a difference in my life?  If we don’t know anything else we know who we are.  We know what we have done, how we feel, and who we’ve hurt.  We know all the secrets!  I know that I was undeserving of forgiveness, I know I was too ashamed to ask for it.  I knew coming face to face with a man that knew everything about me was terrifyting!  I also know that at the spiritual moment that I met Him,I was overcome with the power of His love, His grace, and His foregiveness.  The moment I fell on my knees before Him, I knew He had wiped the slate clean, and had given me a new chance.

 

I now know what it is like to walk with Him, to take my fresh mistakes, sins, and stumbles to Him and receive forgiveness yet again.  I know I can’t live without Him, that I don’t want to live without Him.  I now know the cost of my freedom and forgiveness.

 

When you watch the specials this Easter weekend and when He is nailed to the cross, remember He did that for you,  He would have suffered that if you were the only human alive, He did for all of us, and for you as an individual!!!

 

How do I know He is real?  Because He forever changed my life!!!

 

Accept His sacrifce for you,  and be blessed,
