Why is it that we can’t seem to find joy and real happiness? Why is it that so many ways are out there for seekers? They can’t all be right. There is only one way and it is waiting for us to find it. Jesus Christ said: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the father (God) except through Him.” So, those who have tried every other way under the sun but have not found fulfillment; can now know for sure the one right way: The only Way has been given to us freely. There is no sense looking any further. All that you will ever want or need is available through Jesus Christ.
This is the God/man who voluntarily came to earth, suffered the shame and pain of our sins. Sin is anything we do or do not do which is contrary to God’s revealed will. Jesus Christ loved you so much that He left the glorious praise of countless angels to come to be spit upon, to be lashed by Roman soldiers until He could hardly stand. Then, He was forced to carry His cross up Calvary’s hill. There He was nailed on the cross where He hung naked, shamed and reviled before the masses who cried: “Crucify Him”. What could be more painful, and shameful, It was for you. Your going astray put Him there.
He chose the death of the cross so that you could find new life. He did this knowing that perhaps, you would deny Him. The blood He shed was for you.
Do you know anyone who would suffer like that for you? He loves you that much. Do you often think that no one loves you? Think again. Really think about it.
We are all sinners. Every one of us has gone astray and has done our own thing. “The wages of sin is death”. You are under the death penalty. But, wait! Here is a God/man who was willing to pay the price because He loves you. Does anyone love you that much?
You don’t have to die in your sins. “The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord and Master. Free? Yes, for you. Someone paid the price for your sins. All you have to do is admit that you need Him. Tell Him what your life has been like and what you have really done. He already knows but you need to confess it. Name them one by one and those which you can’t remember will be forgiven too. I John 1:9 says “If we confess our sins; He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness,” It can all be gone right now.
You can be made right with a just and perfect God. Praying is just talking to God. He will hear you when you cry out to Him with all your heart. There is nothing else you need to do because He did it all for you.
