Jesus

I’m sitting down to write tonight and the words just aren’t coming out right.  A few ideas here and there that sound good in my head, but so far none that look quite right on paper. 

So I will forfeit to just one word.  JESUS. 

Ah……… Jesus…….  Just… Jesus.  The one word that makes me want to stop and take a deep breath and smile.  Jesus J

The name actually means “He saves.”  And maybe that’s why it brings so much peace.  So much joy.  A sigh of relief.   Because everywhere we look, we see signs that we live in a fallen world.  A world that needs saving.  Cancer.  Poverty.  Disease.  Murder.  Abandoned Children.  School shootings.  Domestic Violence………..  But we don’t really need to even look to the headlines to find evidence that we need saving.  A good look into our own heart will reveal how desperate our situation when we see the cancer of sin in our own souls. 

So here we are, needing a hero.  

And there He is – JESUS – mighty to save.   

JESUS

Deep breath

Smile J

“She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
