REALLY HIM
Today's reading: Numbers 17-18, Mark 15:33-47, Psalm 55

"When the Roman officer who stood facing him saw how he had died, he exclaimed, Truly, this was the Son of God!" Mark 15:39 NLT

I am sure this officer of the court had heard of Jesus.

The accounts of healings.

The crowds who gathered just to hear Him speak.

The miracles He had performed.

The threat He was to the 'church'.

Maybe this gentleman was involved in Jesus' beatings, mocking and the games they played with Him.

Whatever he knew. Whatever he had heard. What little of Jesus he had experienced, it all came down to this moment--and the realization that He truly was who He said He was.

It will come down to that moment for you, too.

If you do not know Jesus as your Redeemer, your Eternity-Securer, your Savior, now is the time!

You've heard about Him. You've read about Him. You've possibly experienced Him in small doses since you were a child.

Is it settled in your head and heart that He is the Son of God?

The one who died on the cross for your sins?

The only one who could provide the sacrifice needed to save you from the grave, death and hell?

Truly, He is the Son of God--and the sooner we come to the realization, the better our lives will be.

Accept the fact that you are in desperate need of a Savior, someone to rescue you from you, from the drudgery of attempting to do enough, be enough, have enough.

Believe He was born from a virgin, lived a perfect life, died on the cross and rose again--just for you. In order that you could be made holy by His sacrifice. Holy enough to enter into a relationship with God.

Confess your sins. Tell God all about it. What you've done. What you've thought. What dreams have been crushed. What bad attitude you're harboring. He knows all about them, but wants you to share them with Him. Go ahead, tell Him. It's freeing.

Determine to live a changed life. One that has turned completely from the sins you had committed, from the life you had lived, from the wrong mindset you had carried around. Determine in your heart to find out more and more about Jesus and how to live like He did.

Experience life as you've never experienced it before!
