Last week we looked at
our "once upon a time" lives before becoming a follower of Jesus.
This week our reading is from 1 Peter 3:13-22. Verse 18 reminds us that
"Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never
sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God." How
would your life change if you believed your sins were forgiven and, you truly
trusted Jesus to "bring you safely home to God"?
For me, it has brought a
security like no other. It reminds me that Jesus has this. He suffered, died
and rose again. No matter how much I suffer, and even when I die, Jesus will
bring me safely home to God. Therefore, what do I have to worry about? Do you
have that kind of assurance? I hope so. If not, come and hear more about this
on Sunday. Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly. He paid
the price once for all time. And once for all people. That includes you!
Bring something to share
for our pot-luck this Sunday. If you don't cook, pick-up something from the
store to eat or drink. Let's fill the table and enjoy each other's contribution
and company after church. And if you sing or play a musical instrument, join in
Praise Team practice right after lunch. Make a joyful noise unto The Lord!
