Thank You Jesus

This song has been stuck in my head for a while.
Amazed - Desperation Band


Lord, I am AMAZED by You. Thank You so much for lifting the cross. We worship a living God who ressurected, not a dead one. All glory, praise and honor go to You.


I had my first ever seeker bible study with Anita's friend Raymond, Anita, and Jason (my roommate). Man, Raymond is so close to repenting and accepting Jesus. The questions he was coming up with weren't argumentative, but came from a heart that really wanted to know truth. Man, the questions he was coming up with were crazy. The holy spirit imparts wisdom on everyone and I do believe that it's not through my own knowledge, revelation, or wisdom that people see God, but rather it's the Spirit that speaks through me and uses the Bible to speak to people, Christian or non-christian.

We went over 1 John with Raymond, the verse that sticks out is this.

1 John 1:9
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Our God is faithful and just when we repent and turn away from our sins. He WILL purify us and make us righteous in His sight. Jesus's death on the cross was the atoning sacrifice that cleanses us from our sin and allows us fellowship with the Father. This is the message of the weekend, of Good Friday, and Good Easter:

We were dead in our sin with no hope or life, but God provided us a way to Him, through Jesus Christ, his only son, who died on the cross on our behalf in love and mercy.

Will you believe?
