In ministry, I often ask God to speak me to everyone.  And I pray that as I speak to everyone, He would speak to just one.

Jesus, at times, would speak to one.  And He would speak to one so powerfully that it would impact EVERYONE.

Today, I am talking to one.  Because I know that by talking to one I can talk to many.

Today, I speak to the one who is cursed.  I speak to the one who feels like they can never break away from their sin.

Today, I speak to the one who is abandoned.  I speak to the person who has been betrayed by someone who they trusted.

Today, I speak to the devalued.  I speak to the person who feels worthless … inadequate … broken.

God wants to change your position TODAY.  He doesn’t want you Cursed, Abandoned, Devalued.

God wants you free.

And He wants you free so badly that He went all in to make sure that it would be done.

When Jesus talks about leaving the 99 to go get the 1, He is talking about you.  He is talking about leaving his 2 Billion dollars in a bag on the sidewalk while He chases down the penny that is 3 blocks away.

And that is because God puts eternal and uncountable value on us.

And He does it … with EVERYTHING that He has.

Romans 5 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

While We Were Still Sinners, Christ Died For Us.

2021 is significant.

It is significant because we are keeping track.  We are counting.  Not our sins, but the time in world history when the eternal God made One more important than anything else.

And that One is you.

On a cross on calvary some 2000 years ago, Jesus made a decision.

He made a decision to be cursed so that you could DELIVERED.

He made a decision to be ABANDONED so that you could be SURROUNDED BY A LOYAL BAND.

He made a decision to give up His value so that you could be HIS GREATEST TREASURE.

There is no greater love than this.  That He would lay down His life for His friends.

As I listened to this Jeremy Camp song this morning on the way to school, I thought that it was appropriate for me … and for you.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
