Second Chances and New Relationships

When Jesus cried out on the cross,"It is finished", our opportunity of new life began. With that solemn act, He discharges a debt He did not owe, one that there was no hope of us paying. No matter how far in sin debt we are, His death and resurrection gives us the chance to start again.

It seems so simple actually. The death of one Man giving the whole world the opportunity to stand at the door of eternal life, and He is asking us to come in by accepting Him. But sometimes, it is the simple solutions to problems that seem to elude us. We want to search in our own strength to find a way, because we all have been told that if we want anything in life, we have to make our own way. It's the forest for the trees syndrome. We can't see the answer because it's right in front of us.

So try something different. If you have never truly trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have everything to gain (and nothing to lose except your old life). You will spend the rest of your life somewhere. And if you are burdened by an unsaved family member, friend or neighbor become their friend. Let them see Christ in you the hope of glory. They are searching. They are looking for truth. You may indeed be the book they are reading. Jesus reached out to the woman at the well and began a relationship with her. It worked for Him, it will work for you (because He said it would).

Have blessed Resurrection Day!
