Christ, the innocent, suffered for you!! So, now........

Good morning everyone!!! What a wonderful day to be alive in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! Did you visit with God yesterday? Did you take time to be in prayer? Do you communicate with your Father in Heaven? God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!

1 Peter 3:18-20 "Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit. So he went and preached to the spirits in prison - those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood."

Take time to reread this passage please. Christ never sinned, you have, yet He died for you. He suffered death - for teaching the truth and the way! Do you suffer? OR, do you teach the truth and the way? Are you silent and let it pass?

Jesus went and preached to spirits in prison - there is disharmony among theologians about this meaning. Some say the spirits in prison were old testament, prior to Noah and the flood; others say Christ went to hades to proclaim the victory and final condemnation to the fallen angels imprisoned there since Noah's day.

It does not matter, the passage shows that Christ's Good News of salvation and victory is not limited. We know 3 things. 1-God speaks and communicates with the world; 2-God triumphs, Christ victoriously preached; and 3-God saves. God goes above and beyond to save those who desire him.

Thank you for reading. Take time to mediate on God's word. Close your eyes, talk to God, even if it is only for a moment. You will be refreshed and rewarded. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
