A Great Deal - April 25, 2008

Good Friday morning! The second time that I have seen the a.m. of this Friday, by the way. The boss gave me an unusual turn of phrase last night as we left work at around 0144, that was: "come in and save the world." Now he meant something else, but this morning I gave some thought to the beauty of that phrase, save the world. You and I may not be able to save the world, but we know someone who can! In a wonderful way that the world cannot match, our Savior makes an offer with no strings attached and the price already paid, believe in Him and you will be saved. Simple, straightforward, and free of the deceits and subterfuge the offers of the world are infamous for having. Want to live in your own home? You must pay a steep price, so steep that most of us can only pay it over 20 or 30 years, plus a lot of interest is added, and don't forget the fees and taxes! In this world, we are often warned that offers that look too good to be true probably are. The offer of Jesus, free salvation and life eternally with Him, has no strings, gimmicks, or traps - believe and you are saved, that's it. What a wonderful Lord and Savior we have in Jesus! On this great Friday morning, enjoy the gift of eternal life in Jesus that each of us have been given for simply believing in Him.

Have a blessed and wonderful weekend in Christ Jesus!
