"Do you know who Jesus is and what he did for you?







He is a man who knows what you're thinking. What you've done and what you're going to do--good and bad.

The Bible says everyone falls short of perfection. He wants you to come to him with all your hurts and hangups. He took them and already nailed them on the cross 2000 years ago so you wouldn't have to sort through the mess today or get even with anyone.

People nailed him to the cross but he didn't fight back or even open his mouth to complain. He forgave them for crucifying him, so we can forgive whoever.

He is the all-sufficient Saviour. He is the only one who nailed your failures, your murders, your lusts, your hate, your fears; your sins to the cross. The Bible says that those who reject God's Son, the judgement and wrath of God still rests on him.

We're by nature, objects of wrath because we insist on living life on our own terms yet we keep coming up short. Even if we have everything and we're set, it will turn to dust. You can't take it with you when you die. you're money, your friends, your degree, your car, you job won't save you when you die and stand before the throne of God.

Jesus took the rejection and abandonment from his friends and from His own Father so we would not have to. God already said yes to us. We gotta say yes to him and live.

Jesus said not to store up treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where theives can break in and steal. Store it with Jesus and in heaven where the moths, rust, and theives can't get it. Jesus said where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.

Jesus is the only one who took all of God's wrath because he was pure. He absorbed it all and paid for the failure of man. He payed for us who handed the deed to the planet over to Satan. Jesus was innocent and yet people nailed him to the cross.

I don't have the words right now. I'm not an expert communicator, but one thing I do know that with the spirit and truth of Christ comes freedom. Jesus is not a "something to believe in." He is THE way, THE truth and THE life and he said that no one comes to the Father of Heaven but through him. You can't bribe God by being "good" because no on is good enough for God.

That's why he has grace. He gives you what you don't deserve because he doesn't look at how you are now in your sins. He looks at you for what he created you to be--A warrior and a priest unto him. You loves you for who you are, not what you can do for him and he loves you too much to leave you where you are.

Jesus said he is the good Shepherd and his sheep know his voice. He comes to the door and knocks and you need to open it while you still can so you can live. Don't wait until you get rich or until you grow old. You life might be required of you TONIGHT. This planet is full of dead people walking and I used to be one of them. When you die and leave this earth, there is only heaven and hell. Jesus said "Follow me and live."

I don't know who specifically this message is for but God wouldn't let me sleep until I tell SOMEONE. So hear I am typing at 5 AM. I need to tell my family, I need to tell my friends.

Doing art and having fun is great, but telling people how to live forever is where my fix is.

Love is the gutsiest word in the english language and that just happens to be what God is. It's not just some fluttery, sissy emotion. God is love. Everything he does is saturated with it. Even his judgement and commands.

I'm free and I have no reason to be afraid of anyone or anything anymore. Not of the dark, of the future, of demons, or people.

This is really beautiful. Do you mind if I pace this in my journal? courtesy from you of course. I am really bad at placing things in to words, and everything you wrote here is true and clear. I would love to spread this around from my journal as well. Maybe others will do the same.^^
