What Am I Thankful For???  A Thanksgiving Word for today! #3

I am thankful for Jesus and HIS substitutionary, atoning sacrifice that was made for you and me; if we but repent of our sin and believe in His amazing sacrifice on the cross for all who will come.

“Giving thanks unto the Father,

which hath made us meet to be partakers

of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us

from the power of darkness,

and hath translated us

into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption

through his blood,

even the forgiveness of sins:”              Colossians 1:12-14

You see, my friends, sin IS the issue and only Jesus has the “cure”!  It’s why HE came; and for that I am grateful!

“And she shall bring forth a son,

and thou shalt call his name JESUS:

for he shall save his people

from their sins.

22 Now all this was done,

that it might be fulfilled

which was spoken of the Lord

by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child,

and shall bring forth a son,

and they shall call his name Emmanuel,

which being interpreted is,

God with us.” Matthew 1:21-23

God with us=JESUS, who came to deliver us from the penalty of sin and give us ‘abundant’ life through His blood!

Amen!!!
