Jesus is a gift to you

January 12, 2010

"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross dailyand follow me."

--Acts 1:8

Those first disciples and Christ-followers realized that walking with Jesus would not be easy, but they also knew the great rewards of following him.

Look at Matthew. He gave up financial security, but he also gave up a dishonest career. Jesus restored his character and gave him eternal life!

Jesus words, "Follow me," spoke to Matthew's heart. When Jesus said, "Follow me," it was more of a command than a call, really. He was saying, "Start today, and for the rest of your life, follow me!"  And "Follow me" doesn't mean to trail along behind. It means to walk alongside!

What a magnificent invitation Matthew received. The great God of the universe said, "Come walk alongside me now and forever!" 

You see, the invitation to follow Jesus was really a great gift to Matthew. A man who thought he could never be forgiven, became a follower. He started new in Jesus!

And Jesus offers you the same invitation… the gift of himself to you. Which means you can turn from your past. 

Right now, Jesus Christ is passing your way and he's calling your name saying, "Follow me." Leave your sin and walk into a brand new future with him!

RIGHT NOW JESUS IS PASSING YOUR WAY SAYING,
"COME WALK ALONGSIDE ME NOW AND FOREVER!"

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out

Dear Friend,

Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today!  --Jack Graham
