Jesus died for us!

"This is what the son of man has done.

He came to serve, not to be served &

then to give away his life in exchange for many

who are held hostage." -Mark 10:45 (MSG)

Isn't that just amazing? God gave his son, for us. For the redemption of our sins (to save us). He sacrifices someone he loved more than we can comprehend, that's how much he loves us! 

"For God so loved the world,

 that he gave his only son,

that whoever believes in him should not perish

but have eternal life." -John 3:16

We have eternal life! That can be a scary prospect, but it is so exciting. we are going to meet God. To me, that makes all the trials he has put in place in life totally worth it. At judgement he will point out our good or bad. But ultimately he will shower us with the perfect love we so gratefully deserve.

It's so hard to comprehend just how perfect Jesus was, this is something we will never achieve but can totally use as an ultimate role model and aspiration. Jesus is the perfect person to follow the example of. People may not always like your decisions, but if Jesus would of approved then it's totally worth it!

You can be forgiven for your sins because Jesus was so perfect. All it takes is a heartfelt sorry of repentance to God, a humble ask for forgiveness and proof you will try your up most hardest to change your ways. He will forgive you, and if need be- help you forgive yourself too. 

A prayer of forgiveness could go something like this....but it's totally up to you! 

Dear father, Almighty God,

I am so sorry for my wrongdoings that have separated you & I,

I know I have broken your laws. 

I want to turn away from sin God,

and focus my life on you.

Please forgive me,

and help me stay away from my wrong doings in the future.

Please help me focus on Jesus as my role model God,

I am so blessed to have you in my life, 

Please continue to mould me into the person you want me to be. 

In Jesus' name,

Amen. 

Prayer is very personal and some people find it very difficult, but the blessing you receive when asking for forgiveness are just mind blowing. 

So, Jesus died for you and I. Lets not turn our heads away from him but instead focus our eyes on what really matters...Jesus Christ. 

Lets do him proud!
