He Calls Us Friends

Resurrection To release those appointed to death.(Psalm 102:20)

 

Before we followed Jesus, we were under the power of Satan. The bible tells us that we were children of the devil. No matter how good we may have been, if we did not know Jesus, we were His enemy. Pretty amazing to think that Jesus left the ivory palaces of heaven to become man and take the sin of the world on Him so that we could be reconciled with the Father. He who knew no sin became sin! He gave us His righteousness and in return He took our punishment. There is no other god like our God! God is good!!

Jesus truly released mankind from being appointed to death. When we get to heaven we will realize all the times that God intervened on our behalf to save us from death. Jesus is our kinsman Redeemer. He is the One who chose to buy us back from the slave market. Yes, it was His choice and He made that choice out of love.

Choose today to walk in obedience to His will out of love for Him. He gave His all so that we can be a part of the family of God. That makes it easier for us to give Him our all, knowing what He did for us. Take time today to talk with Him and thank Him for all He has done. No greater love be than this, that a man lay down his life for a friend. That Man was Jesus and He calls us friends.
