Common Ground - October 23, 2009

Good Friday morning! Let the morning begin and God reign in our lives! Whoohoo! I woke up quite late this morning; I don't even get breakfast or a cuppa joe before starting the devotional. No one's fault but my own...well, except for Luke, who drove us off a cliff in my dream. I'll have to speak with him about that. :-)

We enjoyed another lively discussion last night in our Life Group. Christians are passionate about their life in Christ. Do we make note of our differences and bring them out for all to see? No, let's think today about what we have in common! We have one hope - that Jesus will return and take us home. We have one promise - Jesus will return and take us home! While we might disagree on a point or two in our Christian walk, the Good News is a message we all carry in our hearts. God loved the world, that's us, so much that He sacrificed His only Son; so that anyone and everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will be saved for all eternity. We have a host of weaknesses; He has a heavenly host at his command. We understand little; He understands all. We can save ourselves by keeping the law perfectly, but all have failed and fallen short of that glorious standard set down by God. Jesus, on the other hand, lived a perfect life and willingly laid it down to save those who could not save our own lives. We believe in Jesus and have life in Him. Sing for the day; we have a wonderful Lord in common!
