Dear Reader,
As I reflect on Good Friday 2009, I am reminded of what my sin cost God! I came to realize that God loves me, and you by the way, so much that His Son, Jesus endured hate, torture, humiliation, and scorn to open a door back to God the Father!
I love Jesus not just for Calvary, but because I was not deserving of such sacrifice, BUT GOD!
But God thought differently, and I owe God everything. It is through our trials that a Christian learns, or should learn, the true love of God! I participated in or visited three funerals this week. Some were fully immersed in the life of their church or Ministry, and some were not. Some believed that they could not do enough to show God how thankful they were for His saving Grace.
A commitment to Christ and Christ's Church is not something you can make a person become, it is only something we can pray to God people begin to get. We know of people who believe that all they need to do is show up at church some times, but God has called each Believer to more! There is a world dying out there, and the people of God are some times arguing over meaningless selfish stuff. Families are breaking up our going through problems, and yet they will not seek Christ! Children are going there own way, away from God, and they Church seems more intent on holding onto that which does not truly matter to Christ!
But Good Friday, tells me all I need to know about what is most important in this life! It tells me that God is more interested in the heart of humanity, and not the function of humanity! Function is important for maintaining important things, but God showed us on the Cross on Good Friday, that we should look beyond our own selfish stuff, and open our hearts to Jesus in a new way!
God is still watching, God is still loving, and God is still looking for us to rise up and demonstrate to the world the love of Christ! Would you join me in demonstrating God's love no matter how people treat you! That is truly What Jesus Would Do! (WWJD)
Has a blessed Resurrection Day!
We will during our Sunrise Service and or 11:00Am Worship Service!
In Christ
Pastor Doss
