Thought for the day
The Cross
After they removed Jesus from the cross, it was taken to a storage room till it would be needed again.
Can you imagine what must have been felt by the next person to be hung on this same cross?
It wasn't the blood
"But as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13)
They were able to become children of God. They became born again, not because of Christ's death to come, not because of their fleshly birth and not even because of their desire to be children of God. It was because of God's love.
God loves us so much and this is why He allows us to become born again. He gives us that 'second chance' because of the love He has for us.
One who sins. One who denies Him. One who speaks against Him. All forgiven and given a second chance at life. Now that's what I call love....
Born with faith
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." (John 1:9)
We are ALL born with knowledge of God.
I like this scripture for those who claim not to believe. It isn't that they don't believe, it is the fact that they choose to ignore what they already KNOW is the truth......
