Jesus, by giving His perfect life as a payment for ours, so we may live eternally with Him in heaven, showed the true meaning of sacrifice and love. Now we as Christians must show the world the love we have been given, no matter the opposition we face. We must all be Lions of God. Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to Father except through Me." We can be the first glimpse of light, leading our peers, our family members, our enemies towards the true Light.

Reconciliation

I have a feeling this passage, or verses from it, have been on LOG before, but right now, this verse is speaking to me so profoundly, I need to share. You see, we can complicate Jesus' coming so easily, when this simple passage lays the purpose, and the prize, to what He did for us. Jesus came to REUNITE us with God. Don't you see it? That means we, personally, were already with Him, before our birth, and Jesus came so that while we were on Earth, we would not stray. Isn't that mindblowing? Just to think, you were once with God, and every day you can choose to regain that standing, one choice, one prayer, and one reconciliation at a time.
2 Corinthians 5:17-21  Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

21He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
