Think about what it would be like if you found yourself in a life or death situation. What would you do if someone was about to take your life? Surprisingly though, someone stepped in to protect you and save your life but was killed in your place. You would be eternally grateful to him. There is One who did this for all mankind and His name is Jesus. He did it to become your Lord and Savior and to give you everlasting life. Are you living for Him?

There are many things that weigh us down in life, both in the natural world and in the spiritual world. They keep us from being and doing our best. They keep us from ultimate freedom. There is nothing more liberating than experiencing true freedom in Christ. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

We all know what it is like when we haven’t seen a loved one in a long time. Our heart longs to be in their presence. It is no different with God Almighty who created us for His pleasure. Even though we have not seen Him face to face this side of heaven, the day is coming that we will stand before Him and finally be united for eternity. The time is closer than you think.

Stop and think about a moment in your life, a time, or an event that so effected you that you would never be the same again. It changed your perspective or focus like a laser beam. Something inside of you shifted forevermore. This night was one of those defining moments.
