Book excerpt: What an amazing thing it is to be loved by someone. But how totally awesome and mind blowing it is when we think about the fact that the one who loves us knows everything about us, the good, the bad and the sometimes very, very ugly. How do He know? Because the one who loves us in a way that no one else ever has claims to be God Himself. And there is more – not only does he love us unconditionally Jesus made this declaration – “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” He offers to us – Forgiveness; Peace; Purpose; Joy; Meaning; Safety; Significance; Direction in life; and so much more. Then think of the fact that not only do we have the offer of life here and now, we also have the promise of Heaven when we die. We also need to think about the fact that the bible teaches us that Jesus is the only way we can get to Heaven. (Acts 4:12 – “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”) If that is true and remembering that the Bible says believing in Jesus is a life and death matter. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23). Does it not make sense to take some time to think for yourself about who Jesus is and what He has done for you? This is your invitation to take a few minutes every day for a week to Consider Jesus. So make yourself comfortable, sit down in a quiet place, and spend a few minutes thinking about Jesus.
