Awesome Savior

I read about a pastor walking outside a hospital when a man came near him and said, “Her temperature is gone!” The pastor wrote that he had no idea who the man meant by “her” but he thought it must have been someone the man loved dearly. The pastor said he had never met the man before and would probably never see him again. However, he said, “I will never forget the sight of this man so overcome with emotion that he had to share the good news with the first person he saw.”

In recent months, I have been sharing with you a couple of series, MEET JESUS and Christ Is Lord. This is my way of grabbing hold of you and sharing with you the Good News: Your Savior is Awesome! It’s true: Jesus is Bigger than you Think and Greater than you can Imagine. I want you to know that and never forget that!

Admit it: Life can be hard at times and unforgiving. Troubles can come in waves and be unrelenting. In those inevitably challenging experiences of life, when you need courage and resolve, and your situation calls for strength of character and determination, it helps to remember that God is stronger than your adversity and mightier than your adversary. Therefore, we must learn to place our focus not on our problems but on Jesus who is Lord over them.

No matter what you face in life, I want you to know (and we will talk about it Sunday) that Christ in you (is) your hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). This means, putting it simply, He is our victory! Jesus is our hope, so in Him let’s place our trust!

Devotedly yours,
Pastor Ron
