Without Jesus

They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.  Psalm 14:3

Without Jesus, we have this observation from David, king of Israel. It is not a flattering message to us, nor a thing to be proud of. And this is what we have to offer God in exchange for salvation. Then to those living in darkness came a message of love and hope in Jesus. We might wonder, how are we to take this? In faith each receives the message of love from God, or rejects it and goes his own way. One might ask, "Am I worthy?" Of course not! But the Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God, is worthy. There is none who does good among us, but there was One who came down from Heaven to save us. We do not deserve this salvation by our own works, but we can gain it by accepting Him. Salvation: it is the strangest of one-sided deals, and yet the most wonderful!

Have a joyous week and love one another!
