Well, where do I start in giving an update?
Happy Resurection Day! Jesus came to earth, God as man, and died for you! Because you can't be good enough to earn your way to heaven! The truth is, none of us can! And if we think we have been to bad to be saved, what we are really saying is that we have to work for our salvation, and that God's sacrifice wasn't good enough! Praise Him for His gift of love on calvary.
Why do we call it calvary? I'm really not sure, but from what I understand, back in the mid evil period, the knights were called the chivalry, which then turned into calvary, but with a code of "chivalry". Of course we all know what chivalry is. Bottom line is that the root word of calvary is chivalry. I would say that what Jesus did for us is very chivalrous and herro-ic.
Last night we went and saw National Treasure 2. It was fun, full of action. But I would have to say the plot wasn't as good as the first one, and that thte ending needed a bit more fenis.
Now to the really, good stuff!
This morning we went to New Life Church here in the Springs. For thosse of you who don't really know what New Life Church is, maybe you all remember the church shooting that happened in Colorado Springs a few months ago. They were putting on a small production called The Rock. It was very good! One thing that passtor Brady said during the play was about peter, and how he had betraid Christ, and the trials peter had to go through for Christ to build the rock in him. It was liike ther realization really came to me that through all of my doubts, trials, and heart ache that Jesus is trying to build the rock in me, the rock is HIM. Also, of all my mistakes, the horid things I have thought about God, and against Him. Just as His blood covered for peter, and can, and did cover for me, PRAISE HIM! Without His mercy and grace I would be sentanced to hell, but because of Him, I am Sentanced to Heaven! It is so good that the world isn't fair! If it was faire, I would be toast!
Then there was the part, right before Jesus rose, where the roman soldier went up to the tomb and nield down, I cried! I was able to come to the realization that no matter what I have done I am able to be clean through Christs blood. Not thata I didn't already know that, but the doubts and attacks. Jesus is awsome, kind loving and cairing, the way the play portraid Him interacting with the children, and people. It was very good.
What all went on in my heart reminds me of the MercyMe song, Hold Fast.
Then we were in this "leaving church trafic jam". We went to the Mast's house, where we practiced music some. That was a lot of fun! We wroked on the song I Am Free by the newsboys. Of course we sing it our own way. We made some great progress on it.
And now, I am at home, writting to you.
When I left the house, I was given a packet of hot chackolate by one of my little friends. Wow, Smart kid.
Keep your eyes on God, He loves you, remember His sacrifice, not only on easter, but every day of the year. Keep it in your sites, how much you need Him.
