This week in class we have been talking about historical evidence of the Bible and Jesus. Today we talked about Christ and proof of the crucifixion which really hit home for me. Yes, it was good to learn and be backed up with history, but there was way more happening in my heart than just learning. God started redownloading what I learned at first when I came to Christ. That was a while ago, but all this flooded back to me. So I wrote a little something during class when we watched the Passion of the Christ clip. Here it is: Jesus died for me. He took a brutal death, for me, for everyone. He saved us. Without Him, we would be dead. The cost for our death was His death. Oh how I feel like I am in debt to you Jesus. But you call this a gift. A gift of grace. I am called and now understand that everything I do, must have significance to you. I pray to change for everything I do to be because of God’s grace.
I learned this freshman year at church camp, but honestly haven’t thought about it really since then, so it was cool to be reminded of all this. Everything and anything I do, I want to be able to say “Oh yeah, I did that because of God’s grace.” I know there will be times when I fail and fall, but this is my hope. Class was so good this week, but honestly when is it not good?
