This past week, Luanne shared a story with us called The Ragman. This is an illustration of what happened Good Friday, and every time someone accepts Christ as their Savior. He takes our hurts, sins, issues, and troubles upon Himself, exchanging our weakness for His glory.
Luanne shared her story as growing up as a good kid....you remember the kind...or maybe it was you. Good grades. Good family. Never really got into trouble. She grew up knowing that Jesus died for our sins, but only in a generic sense. After all, she wasn't as bad as some people...
It wasn't until she was a young adult that she truly saw herself as someone in need of a Savior. She realized that in spite of all of her "goodness," it would never get her into Heaven. More than that, she couldn't have a relationship with Jesus Christ until she recognized her need.
Don't let this Easter go by while you stand in the ditch of "I don't need Jesus," or the other ditch of "Jesus wouldn't want me." I pray that you will seek Him out. He is waiting for you.
If you know Jesus as Savior, pray about sharing your story with someone else. Help someone move from "God so loved the world..." to "God so loved me..."
Happy Easter, Sweet Friends!
Debbie
