Passage of the Day - Galatians 4
Galatians 4:4 But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. 5 God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. 6 And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” 7 Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir. [read chapter]
At the right time, nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus was crucified. The soldiers brutally beat and tortured him. His countrymen mocked and scoffed at him. Many of his closest companions deserted him. Tears, jeers, confusion, insults, and fear.
Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave His only Son just to save us
The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers Broken Heart
Tears were filling Heaven’s Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn’t move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died
[Phil Wickham - True Love]
All this so that God could grow his family…so that the world would know how great, how glorious, how powerful, how loving He is.
These three days hold the most significant events, the most transformational power, the most significant love humanity has ever known. It is God’s call to the world, come back to Him…stop running away, stop living in your sins, stop seeking other ways…
“Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, the life. No one can be a child of the Father except through me.”
Believe that the result of the cross makes adoption possible.
Believe that the event of the tomb promises new life, new possibilities, new realities with God.
You don’t have to be a slave.
You don’t have to do this alone.
You are wrong to think you don’t need him.
Replace the desires you have of this world with Jesus.
Believe that Jesus is God’s demonstration of love.
Believe that Jesus is your only hope.
Your Father is waiting…call his name…
“Papa”
