Imagine living out the call on your existence perfectly?

 

A biologist said this in a show I was watching and I began to ponder that very question.

 

For a created Sockeye Salmon….it is easy.  He or she simply lives out who God has created him or her to be….but that does not make it easy.

 

They swim over 6000 miles in their lifetime.

They develop and grow in the rocky beds of an inland river and move on, slowly, to the ocean as their size increases.

Then, at just the right time, they return.

And they swim upstream 200 miles and literally kill themselves to send forth the next generation.

 

Wow.  And all that from being a total accident of nature.  (Sarcasm emphasized)

 

They live out the call perfectly.

 

But we do not.

 

But that fact could not be more clearly conveyed as Paul does in Romans 3:23.  We all sin.  We ALL fall short of the glory of God.

 

And that, is why we need Jesus.

 

He is the human bridge for us living out our existence perfectly.

 

Never forget who you are or why you need HIM.  God will hold you accountable to that very truth.

 

He sent Him to die because it was the only way.  It was our only hope. It was the only chance that we had to be right with Him.

 

Jesus died on a cross so that we would not have to be rejected by a perfect God.

 

Today is Good Friday.

 

It is good because Jesus has allowed it to be so……

 

It is good because we have no hope without Him.

 

Romans 8  28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

 

God has a plan for us and it is GOOD.

 

If it isn’t good, it is because He is not done yet.

 

If it isn’t good, it is because He has not yet put His hand of freedom on it.

 

So be encouraged.

 

He will win.

 

And He will win in a landslide.

 

And as you wait for Him, wait with peace…and hope…and love.

 

For in Him, you can have eternal victory.

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
