The Redeeming Work of Jesus Christ

I’m supposed to be writing two papers right now… but all I want to do is write about what God is doing in my life. (and watch jeopardy but that is not the point of this little ditty)

i’m humbled. unbelievably humbled. if you would have sat me down two years ago and told me where I would be and what I would be doing and the condition of my soul, i would have looked at you and said, “i know myself, you are wrong.” but two years ago fake me is wrong. and do you know why?

The Redeeming Work of Jesus Christ.

The only thing that truly satisfies me is Jesus Christ. When I get to have real conversations with people, about the condition of their soul and their deep love of Jesus Christ. That is what i thrive on. Its cool because i am just the same material thing as Paige 2008, but the things going on in my head are what i though would be Paige 2020 or maybe even never.

I say all of this because I’m thankful. Today, I talked to a few friends I have been praying for since 2004. They knew Jesus, but didn’t have lives transformed by him then. Guess what? you guessed it, their lives are being transformed by

The Redeeming Work of Jesus Christ.

God loves his people. Perfectly. As I grow and learn and connect my head to my heart, God is teaching me things. He is teaching me to never give up on people. Keep praying. It might take years and years and years, but keep praying. and not to just pray but to pray specifically. for the desires of my heart. because as I draw near to Him, he changes the desires of my heart to ones that expand the kingdom.

And do you know what, i sin. a lot. my heart should be a black-hole vortex that cannot be turned into any good. but Christ obliterated my sin at the cross, so the Holy Spirit helps me deal with my sin now. i fail a lot, but i’ve got redemption on my side.

I’ve been hearing about all these natural disasters and I’m worried that the world is ending. Not because I am worried about not going to Heaven or because I am worried about suffering or anything like that. But I want to spend a lot more time on Earth telling people of

The Redeeming Work of Jesus.

So, brothers and sisters, take heed. pray specifically. kill sin. and take up your cross. The life of a Christian is not easy. but we have the best help. and that is really good news.

“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high” -Hebrews 1:1-3
