2 Timothy 2:11 We will live with HIM!

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

What is today? Today is another day in your life and will it be special? To many today is simply Friday, April 20, 2012 and just one more day in our life. Anything special? To most people know. 13 years ago today started out as any for many. Some talking about sports, some the economy, some protesting, some just getting off work, some just going to work. What were you doing this day in 1999? Probably just your normal routine until.......

Until what? You heard the report on tv or the radio that in 1999 two students went on a shooting rampage at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., killing 12 students and one teacher before taking their own lives. Now you probably remember.

One girl was asked about believing in Jesus, then shot and killed because she said YES, she believed! 2 Timothy 2:11 "This is a trustworthy saying; if we die with Him, we will also live with Him." This girl died with Jesus on her lips, she now is living with Jesus. She had run her race, her course was finished, and she won! How strong is your faith?

Self evaluate for a moment---do you believe you, in the face of death, would call on the name of Jesus or deny? Peter denied, but Peter is living with Jesus. We are, in fact human, and to be human is to err.

We may suffer great hardships here on earth, but God promises that someday we will live eternally with Him. What will this involve? It means believers will live in Christ's Kingdom, and we will share in the workings of that kingdom. I would pray my response be strong and as in John 12:21 "Sir, we would see Jesus." Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
