Can you guess who I'm talking about? Yes, I'm talking about Jesus! All throughout Scripture, we read of Jesus and who He is to us, what He can do through us and what He is preparing for us. We read of the miracles He preformed for others and through those miracles, our faith can grow. We read of the way He fought off temptations and through His example, we can learn to do the same. Jesus is the ultimate teacher. His life here on earth has left a blueprint for us. We must follow his example of selflessness, compassion and love.
Jesus has done for me things that I could have never done for myself. He died for me, giving me eternal life. He called me to Himself, offering me the gift of of His precious blood that secured my salvation. He has loved me through all of my disobedience's (delayed obedience is disobedience) then forgave me each and every time. He taught me what it really means to love and forgive. He showed me my flaws and is helping me fix them. He is guiding me toward my destination: heaven. He gave me worth. He loved me first. He saved me!
