Prison

Do you ever watch those murder mystery series that follows the search for the killer and subsequent trial? The suspense comes when the evidence has been given, and everyone is waiting for the verdict from the jury. Can you imagine standing there waiting to hear the words— “guilty” or “not guilty”? In the next moments, your destiny is revealed—prison or freedom.

Lori and I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas. We pray that you have a great time with family and friends. Most of all, we pray that you experience the hope, peace, joy, and love found only in Jesus.

But Jesus came as the Lamb of God to take away the sin of the world. On the cross, he paid sin’s penalty. He bought us back from sin’s slavery. He freed us from sin’s prison. 

Jesus died on the cross for our sin. He provided the way out of our past prison and the way into a relationship with the Father.

Every act of service is significant to God. 

Caught in the grip of sin, we were helpless and hopeless. There was no way out. But then the Rescuer came.

Let us remember that every act of service is significant to God.

Remember it is better to be obedient on the front end than to deal with the consequence of sin - even forgiven sin – on the back end.
