The If of Life
April 17, 2019
If we truly believe that not only did Jesus live on earth and die on the cross for our sins but also that He was raised from the dead, our lives should be lived in that same power. The fact that Jesus was raised to life gives the message of the Gospel power to change all the lives it touches for those who believe.

The Mount of Olives was a very familiar place to Jesus, but the night of His betrayal it became an extraordinary place of spiritual battle. God can use us in the ordinary places and with the familiar people in our lives to do the extraordinary work of expanding His Kingdom.

If you are a Christian, God has picked you to be His child, a prince or princess in His Kingdom. God equips you with what you need here in this world, so rather than trying to be someone else or fight someone else’s way, accept who you are and be yourself.
