You Were Seen!
You might have received a card by one of our church family recently … they wanted you to know that You Were Seen! Not just by them, or fifty or so other people, but by someone greater than them! Most of us go through our days feeling that we are not even noticed by those around us. Sometimes even by our family members or good friends. It seems like the only time we get recognized is when there is a problem. Not TODAY! Today and everyday You ARE Seen by One who loves you more than you will ever know! He tells us that He knows how many strands of hair we have on our head and the deep thoughts of our heart! This amazing person is our loving Savior, Jesus! And He wants you to know Him as well – He wants a personal relationship with you for all eternity! Eternity seems like a long time – and it is – but can you imagine knowing this loving Savior and Him knowing you … forever? That seems crazy, but at the same time … wonderful! Many ask the same question you might be asking – “how can that happen?” It really is fairly easy!
This loving Savior – Jesus The Christ – already did the hard part for you. The Bible says that God showed His love towards you by Jesus dying on the Cross for you — and He did that before you were born and before you did anything wrong!
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
He has already dealt with sin on the cross. John tells us that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:29 John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Why did Jesus come and die on the cross? To take away sin AND to give you life and life more abundantly!
John 10:10 … I came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
How can we have life more abundantly? How can that even be possible? It is possible because the Life that He wants to give you is Himself! He is the abundant Life that you can receive as a gift from Him!
John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, yet shall he live.
The question posed to you today is this: Do you believe that to be true?
Romans 10:9-13 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, … 13 For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
You Were Seen today like you are seen everyday by a loving Savior named Jesus, who died for you and three days later came back to life for one purpose – to give you Life and for you to have that Life more abundantly than you can ever imagine for all eternity! If you believe that to be true today, tell Him! In your own words – there are no magic words to say – just tell Him you believe in Him as your Savior today! Tell Him you believe that He died to take away your sins and three days later came back from the dead so that you can receive eternal Life! When you do that, Christ removes the old you – the old messed up nature – and replaces it with a new you – a new nature of righteousness and holiness – a beautiful new you!
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away. Look, all things have become new.
If you believed this to be true and told Christ so, go and live everyday in His Life and Light so others can know this as well. Drop us a line or come by and visit and let us know how you are doing or if you have any questions we can help you with.
You Were Seen!
