The day after…

After the most glorious event in all of history took place, and the veil of the Temple was rent in two, and the Lord had risen just. as. He. said… a new day dawned.  And new days have been dawning ever since.  But! there will come a time when all the dawns will cease and the day will come when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.  And on that day the books will be opened…  and all the decisions that could’ve, should’ve, would’ve been made will be made known.

Is your name written in the Lamb’s book of life?

Turn your eyes upon Jesus.  Look full in His wonderful Face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim:  in the light of His glory and grace.  In His Word, He tells us,  that whosoever believes in Him shall not die but shall have everlasting life…. that there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved… that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life… that *no* man comes unto the Father but by Him.  He, Jesus, is the Resurrection and the Life — beside Him there is no other.

You can have full assurance of salvation today.  It’s not by works of righteousness — or by any other thing — that you may attempt to do to gain favor with Him:  It is only by faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus that you will be saved…. you can lay your burdens down at the foot of the Cross… the ground is level there.  Truly… look and see.  You will find Him if you seek Him with all of your heart.  He is already there for you.  He already knows you……..

His finished work on the Cross, through faith in Him that is risen from the dead — by faith you receive eternal life through Him who conquered death on the cross and gives life eternal because He sits at the right hand of the Father and ever lives to make intercession for you.  For you. For me. For all who will take freely the gift of redemption by faith in Him alone — who alone does all things well.

As you walk the weary road today.  Turn your eyes upon Jesus.  All of history — His story — was created by Him and for Him.  Jesus is the wisdom of God… and He loves you with an everlasting love.

I pray you will take His hand… it’s outstretched for you… nothing is too hard for the LORD and His arm is not shortened that it cannot save — even to the uttermost.  May God bless you. all. of. your. days.
