Thinking outloud this morning and wanting to share .Do you remember the words that Jesus first spoke to His disciples following His resurrection? The disciples were in the upper room, & they were fearful for their own lives. Their leader was dead, & their future uncertain. Just then Jesus appeared though locked doors & spoke to them. Do you remember what He said? One of my favorite Authors Max Lucado puts it this way: The betrayed sought His betrayers. And what did He say to them? Not, `What a bunch of flops you are.’ Not, `I told you so.’ And there was no `Where were you when I really needed you,’ speech. No, his first words were just one simple phrase, `Peace be with you.’ The very thing that they didn’t have was the very thing that He offered - peace. And He still offers it to us today. Do you have it? Did you leave your house this morning with it? Or did you find yourself carrying burdens that were too heavy to carry? And are you going to walk around all day with those burdens still? Or are you going to turn them over to Jesus? I know One who died on a cross for your sins. And I know One who shed His precious blood so that you can have everlasting life. And I know that He is available to you this morning, & that you can have Him as your Lord & Savior simply by coming & confessing your faith in Him, & giving yourself to Him. Heres a simple prayer: Dear God I know Im a sinner, I know I am not where I want to be, and I want your forgiveness! I believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for my sins. Please wash me clean from all sin, shame, and guilt, come into my life Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I ask this in your name Jesus. Amen! Next find yourself a great Bible believing church where there are real people with real problems who arent afraid to admit that. And that they know how to take these real problems to a real God. Take time to read from the Bible, if you want, you can start with the Gospel of John in the New Testament. If you need more help or prayer, or just want to share the new found joy you just got from receiving Jesus into your heart -You may text me at 347.424.6253.. Pastor Evangelist Genie Santos.
