Romans 5:15

"But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many." Romans 5:15

All That Thrills My Soul

This Sunday service we sang such a joyous hymn "All that thrills my soul is Jesus, He is more than life to me." Many times we would rather walk away from Jesus rather than stay with Him. In John 6:66-69 was an account where the people still leave Jesus and only 12 left. Simon Peters knew and saw the truth "And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God."

Many times in life we walked away from Jesus not because we do not know who Jesus is, but precisely because we know exactly who he is, and we were ashamed. We felt we were not worthy of Him because of our sins. Truly we are not worthy but Christ delivers those who recognize this and confess their sins. Running away from him is not the answer. Run towards Him to receive the gift of salvation; repent and place Jesus at the center of our lives. Jesus is much more than life to those who follow him.  

There is a very different feeling when we are in Christ. There is peace and joy in our hearts, such feelings that we ourselves are unable to full explain why. A simple lightness in our steps, a joyous beat in our hearts and a sense of peace and contentment knowing that we lacked nothing so long as we are in Christ. We ahould lean closer to Him to enjoy the peace, joy and blessings knowing that we have Jesus who is much more than life for us.
