This Sunday is Resurrection Sunday. With it comes the opportunity and promises of salvation. This salvation has been offered to those who accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. It is not universal nor can it be obtained by hard work. No one is worthy of this salvation, it is only a free gift from God. Without Resurrection Sunday, Christmas day is meaningless. It is meaningless because Christ sacrifice was needed to atone for the sins of humanity. Many have misinterpreted scripture and declared that Christ death was universal and because of that all are in heaven. I am sorry to say that they are completely mistaken. Scripture is clear that salvation comes through Christ and that means repentance and acceptance of Him as Lord and Savior. Being a Christian a part of me, it is who I have become. It plays into every action, every thought, and every deed. It is the most important part of me. I am thankful for Christ salvation. This does not mean that I have not sinned because God knows that I sin daily. My desire is to live for Christ daily and I have to examine my life on a daily basis and sometimes/often that means that I have to be corrected because of my sin.

Take the time this week to ponder the mystery of the Resurrection and look to the cross. Examine your life to see if you are truly living for God. If you are half living for him, take the time to turn to him fully today. Live for him and be willing to sacrifice completely for Him because he gave everything for you. Your best will never match his best but his best was given and your best is required. Live for Him!!!! May God bless you on this Resurrection Week.
