Yesterday, I journaled Ephesians 1:7 and 8, "Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah Jesus, His blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people--free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either...Abundantly free."
How perfectly phrased! Give thanks to Paul. How perfectly planned! Give thanks to the Lord God. How perfectly accomplished! Give thanks to the Lord Jesus.
Yes, Paul's phrases totally and completely explain what Jesus has done for us. And planned by our own Sovereign Lord. Yet, the true Hero is our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, who willingly gave His Life that we might be redeemed of our sins. He died for us, you and me! He died that we might live and not only live, but Live in Him and He in us in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Nothing, not anything anywhere, has been given to anyone that is as great and significant as this. Nothing in this world has ever been achieved to equal this incredible act, this unselfish, pre-destined act which fulfilled the world's most necessary loving sacrifice. Nothing anywhere has occurred that is as fine and good as this.
THIS BEATS ALL!
Lord Jesus, You are the greatest hero of the entire world, of the entire universe, and the adjoining Heavens beyond what is known. Thanks Be To God! Amen.
I love my hero. Jo
