Meditation of the Week – August 8

It is written in the prophets: They shall be taught by God. Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from Him comes to me. If we seek to know who God is, we will know He has so much love for us that He sent His only begotten son, Jesus, to show us who He is. A beautiful connection of God’s created word of life put into action, teaching us to be love and mercy to our neighbor and ourselves and showing us how to live a Christian life. Jesus gives His life, His flesh on the cross for all. When we sin, we put Him to death, that death was ours, but He willingly offers Himself in our place to redeem us. When we believe, we admit wrongs and turn to Him for forgiveness so that He may strengthen us against sin and temptation. And when we are strong enough to turn from temptation and sin, we become Christ like, offering up our own life to follow.
