Friday

Remember Jesus!

Are you looking for a magic pill to take away all the pain you are feeling?
Looking for something to take the depression… the emptiness?
Looking for something, anything to fill the empty void in your spirit?

Some look for it in a bottle or drugs.
Some look for it in money or being in the arms of the wrong person.
Some look for it in blind ambition or the sound of crowds cheering victory.

Jesus Christ is the only one who can give you the peace you are seeking.
He is the only one who can fill the empty void in your heart.





Perhaps, you are one who has known the love of Jesus before, but “life” has crowded Him out of your life.
You no longer have time for Him.

Max Lucado writes in his book, “Six Hours One Friday”…

“Oh, but how quickly we forget. So much happens through the years. So many changes within. So many alterations without. And, somewhere, back there, we leave Him. We don’t turn away from Him…we just don’t take Him with us.
Assignments come.
Promotions come.
Budgets are made.
Kids are born, and the Christ…the Christ is forgotten.

Has it been a while since you stared at the heavens in speechless amazement? Has it been a while since you realized God’s divinity and your carnality?

If it has, then you need to know something. He is still there. He hasn’t left. Under all those papers and books and reports and years. In the midst of all those voices and faces and memories and pictures, He is still there.

Think about the first time you ever saw Him.
Think about your first encounter with the Christ.
Robe yourself in that moment.
Resurrect the relief. Recall the purity.
Summon forth the passion.
Can you remember?

Describe the first time you “saw” Christ. How long ago did you first “see Christ”? If you could climb in a time machine and revisit that moment, would you? Why?

Can you still remember?
Are you still in love with Him?
Remember, Paul begged, Remember Jesus.
Before you remember anything, remember Him.
If you forget anything, don’t forget Him.”
