His Mission

3/13/2012

 
21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21; “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 NKJV (emphasis mine)

Yes, on that amazing night some 2000 years ago perfect “Love” came wrapped in the simple flesh of a new born baby.  His appearance was like any other baby boy who needed to be fed and changed, BUT as He grew into a man He would be feeding and changing lives on a whole new level. This Jesus came to seek and save for love does both.

His seeking was relentless and His love reached even the most unlovable.  He kept changing the hearts and lives of all who received Him…all the way to the cross; and even on the cross He did not stop.  While on the cross He still came to a criminal hanging beside Him, and to a Roman soldier there to facilitate a successful execution of Him.  Love changed both that day.  He is still loving and still coming, even in this moment to whoever calls on Him, for He came to save from sin and He is still relentless about that.  His love never gives up you know…and it saves.

Even the most intense religious activities, programs and rituals will not and cannot do what this Jesus does.  No self-help program, clever sounding spiritual fad, or new age philosophy can replace the need for why this Jesus came.  There are only two real choices of spiritual operation.  One is the draining work of determining to be your own lord and living out of your “self,” and the other is the ease and peace of allowing Jesus to be your Lord living in your “self.”Simply put, salvation is found only in a Person; the authentic, historical and still present Jesus; and the good, good news is… He seeks and saves.  Mission Accomplished!

Jesus, I desire this day for your presence to not only surround but to fill me.  I declare you not only my Savior but my Lord. I turn not just my sins but my “self” over to you.  Create in me a deeper desire for relationship with You that will transform me into your image in my world.  I seek to know you more through prayer and Your Word as revealed in the Scriptures.  Thanks for seeking, loving, and saving me.  Amen

    Sometime ago now, after years of doing my best to perform the Christian life out of sheer discipline and "will" power, I found a romance and intimacy with Jesus.  Suddenly Christianity was not religious doing but "being" in a dance with Jesus.  The real intimacy of the Person of Jesus living inside of me, not me trying to find and copy Him, took over, hence the new signature and lifestyle of "Dancing with Jesus."  I trust as you read you will feel the "dance."  Dances with Jesus, Sam
