Are you a taker? (Colossians 1)


     God provides salvation for anyone who will take it. God doesn’t require that we know hidden secrets or certain inside information to accept Christ’s message of love and enjoy eternal life.

     When God chose to reveal himself, he did so through a human body. The tongue that called forth the dead was a human one. The hand that touched the leper had dirt under its nails. The feet upon which the woman wept were calloused and dusty. And his tears came from a heart as broken as yours or mine has ever been.

     So, people came to him. They came at night; they touched him as he walked down the street; they followed him around the sea; the invited him into their homes and placed there children at his feet. Why? Because he was unlike anyone they had ever known. There were those who revered him. But there was not one person who considered him too holy or too divine. Not one person who was reluctant to approach him for fear of being rejected. Remember. It’s man who creates the distance. It is Jesus who builds the bridge. 

  Today pray that God will spark new love for him in your heart. Don’t let this day pass without finding a way of telling someone else about the Good New of God’s love.
