But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
As we stand at the cross of Christ we see a glorious exhibition of God’s love. Paul wrote, “While we were powerless to help ourselves . . . Christ died for sinful men.” In human experience, it is a rare thing for one man to give his life for another, even if the latter be a good man, though there have been a few who have had the courage to do it. Yet the proof of God’s amazing love is this: that it was “while we were sinners Christ died for us.”
Prayer for the day
It is beyond comprehension the love that took You to the cross for me. Humbly I praise and thank You, my Savior and my Lord.
“Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.” —Psalm 100:3 (KJV)
“Seek God for Yourself” By Billy Graham:
“Whenever anyone asks me how I can be so certain about who and what God really is, I am reminded of the story of the little boy who was out flying a kite. It was a fine day to go kite-flying, the wind was brisk, and large billowy clouds were blowing across the sky. The kite went up and up until it was entirely hidden by the clouds. “What are you doing?” a man asked the little boy. “I’m flying a kite,” he replied. “Flying a kite, are you?” the man said, “How can you be sure? You can’t see your kite.” “No,” said the little boy, “I can’t see it, but every little while I feel a tug, so I know for sure that it’s there!” Don’t take anyone else’s word for God. Find Him for yourself, and then you too will know by the wonderful, warm tug on your heartstring, that He is there, for sure.
Prayer for the day: Thank You for loving me, God. This knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I praise and love You, my heavenly Father.”
Commentary announcing the news of a real life wrestling icon’s actual death mid-match as a man is being smashed through a table is the most wrestling thing possible, god bless.
I can only hope the announcement of my own death is followed by a “HOLY SHIT” chant.
Today in 1972, Carl Lucas became Luke Cage, Hero for Hire in the debut of his solo series by Archie Goodwin, George Tuska, and Billy Graham, with creative contributions by Roy Thomas and John Romita!
1 Corinthians 15:54-57 (ESV). “When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
On Feb. 21, 2018, Billy Graham went home to be with Jesus.
Billy Graham will always hold a special place in my heart, because I went forward at one of his worldwide evangelistic tours, many years ago. That was the day I became a follower of Jesus. 🙂
