If there is one animal that we would like God to use to describe us, it wouldn't be a sheep! They are dumb, directionless and defenseless. But, that is exactly what Jesus calls us...Sheep! However, there is good news. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He provides for, protects and secures the sheep of His fold.
Gospel of John: Jesus is the Healer of the Blind
Which is worse, to be born with blind eyes or to live with a blind soul? In John 9, Jesus is clear: Spiritual Blindness is far worse than Physical Blindness. But, there is good news: Jesus is the healer of the blind!
Gospel of John: Jesus is the Eternal God
Everybody is depending on something to get them where they want to go. The Jews in Jesus’ day were depending on being biological descendants of Abraham to get them right with God. But, Jesus explains that biological ancestry is not going to save anybody. But, repentance and belief in the eternal God can save everybody. Jesus is the Eternal God.
LEGACY Halftime Event
There is a big difference between being a fan of Jesus and a follower of Jesus. One of the major defining qualities of a follower of Jesus is that they are willing to sacrifice for His kingdom. One of the clearest and most obvious ways to sacrifice for the kingdom of God is financial. As we celebrate the halfway point of our Cross-Link LEGACY journey, we pause to consider our sacrificial commitment to the kingdom of God.
