December 27, 2006

Good Morning! Let the Glory of the Lord shine upon us this day! I may be a bit late in knowing this, but did you realize the pilot who led the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor later became a Christian missionary? If I had heard that before then I had forgotten it. The Lord works in wonderful ways. We have all enjoyed the full turn that God gives us in our hearts upon believing in Jesus, but some of those turns seem more spectacular than others. We could of course mention Saul of Tarsus in Acts, Matthew and other tax collectors in the Bible, many Romans, and everyone else who has been saved. God gives us eternal life in exchange for our old life of sin. How does that work? Only in Jesus do we find the answer to that. Certainly none of us deserve eternal life or even mercy in this life. None of the heroes in the Bible deserved mercy or grace; only through Jesus can all of that sin be set aside and forgotten by God. Yes, we should think about heaven today and every day, for that is where we are going!

Praise God for the gift of Jesus!
