Wow! I apologize for not posting in SO LONG!
This has been an EXTREMELY busy season of my life, as I imagine it has been for many others! I have tried my very best to enjoy it to the fullest, as I encourage everybody that is reading this to do the same.
I thought for some time about what I would write about for this blog.
I think I have finally found something that I am really excited to write about.
So I am in this course called "New Testament" at my school.
At times, it can be difficult to understand, but the other day my professor said something that really rocked my world.
He was describing the Cross and it's significance to our lives. He even described how we have materialized it and turned it into a fashion statement or into trendy jewelry.
He also described the significance of the Cross in the Roman Empire when Jesus was crucified.
I don't remember word for word what he said, but the main point was that it was the greatest form of Roman power; it showed that nothing or nobody could compete with their rule.
However, when Jesus ROSE from the dead after being crucified...
He initially showed that even the most intense form of power had
NO POWER OVER HIM.
How encouraging is that?
Even the most terrible form of torture has
NO POWER OVER JESUS.
Be comforted in this today.
One of my favorite songs of all time is called
"Break Every Chain" sung by Jesus Culture.There is a verse in it that says,
"There is in the name of Jesus, to break every chain."
He has come to break every single one of your chains.
I will close with the passage of scripture from Psalms:
"Then you called out to God in your desperate condition;
he got you out in the nick of time.
He led you out of your dark, dark cell,
broke open the jail and led you out.
So thank God for his marvelous love,
for his miracle mercy to the children he loves;
He shattered the heavy jailhouse doors,
he snapped the prison bars like matchsticks!"
Psalms 107:13-16
Let him snap your prison bars like matchsticks today!
Blessings,
