Sept 03.99: Light For The Day - "Jesus Our LORD."

"So God raised him to the highest place.
God made his name greater than every other name
so that every knee will bow to the name of Jesus
everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.
And everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is LORD
and bring glory to God the Father.
-- Phillippians 2:9-11 (NCV) 

------------------------

Do you wonder where you can go for
encouragement and motivation? 
Go back to that moment when you first
saw the love of Jesus Christ. 

Remember the day when you separated
from Christ? You knew only guilt and
confusion and then -- a light. Someone
opened a door and light came into your
darkness, and you said in your heart,
"I am redeemed!"

Run to Jesus. Jesus wants you to go
to Him. He wants to become the most
important person in your life, the greatest
love you'll ever know. He wants you to
love him so much that there's no room
in your heart and in your life for sin. 

Invite him to take up residence in your heart.

-- Max Lucado.

Prayer:
You're given us such a great promise,
the promise of salvation. Forgive us,
Father, when we sometimes put more 
hope in the things of this earth than in
the incredible promises of your heaven.

"For God so loved the world that he gave
his only Son, that whoever believes in
him should not perish but have eternal life.

For God sent the Son into the world, 
not to condemn the world, but that the
world might be saved through him."
-- John 3:16-17 (RSV)
