By God’s sweet grace and mercy, this “4th of July Independence Day” reminds me of my life. Today, for me, everyday is the same: a holiday! I’m free and “off work” forever. As I reflect over my life and see what my Father has done FOR me in His stunning love..Jesus! His only and beloved Son... lived THE life that was required of me, died THE death that was surely mine, and because of His infinite quality and righteousness, and true holiness in doing all that, His Father rewarded me by raising HIM FOR ME AND AS ME!! He then went back to His Father, having “finished the work He sent HIM to do”, to begin the great plan of salvation in its next phase.
On earth as our representative, now in heaven “He is our Peace!” He is our Salvation, He is our great Advocate, our Great Intercessor, our Great High Priest Who presents US to the Father in perfection, in Holiness, in Righteousness, and...wow, this one is stunning...WORTHINESS!
You and I are WORTHY IN HIM...today is indeed a “holiday” for you and for me and all His children...we’re “off-work” today and for all eternity. No work need from us for His approval, for His acceptance, for His smile, for His direction today. And in addition to all that, He has put HIS SPIRIT IN US to comfort us, to teach us, to guide us, to move us towards Jesus, to hold us, to keep us, and to one day take us Home to live with Him forever!!
Now, How ‘bout dem apples?!!
Enjoy your “holiday!”
JerryCol 1:18b “...that in all things, Christ might have the supremacy!”
