Just like you heard in Saturday's devotion, we are now trying to answer the question "Why Jesus." As we challenge people to a season of focus on Jesus, I want to make sure we understand who He is and what He did for each of us. Saturday we watched the video called "The One" that took us through all the reasons that Jesus is worthy of our praise and reverence. Without the Gospel message... the good news that Christ was sent to die for our sins and then rose again...we have no eternal life. Not only was Christ sent to be the sacrifice for all of our sins, but He still desires to have a personal relationship with each of us today.
Speaking from my own journey so far, it is amazing how different life is while putting Christ first vs. putting myself and others before Him. I mess it up often, but during the seasons of life where Jesus is the #1 focus, everything else comes into the proper perspective. Living with an eternal focus definately makes the craziness of life seem less stressful and more manageable. It is my desire through the coaches challenge and through this blog that we collectively learn more about who Christ is and understand the importance of putting Him first.
Let me encourage you to stay the course with the coaches' challenge reading plan.
We will be reviewing John 14:6 before each game during the week to follow up with last Saturday's devo with the kids. Thanks again for all you do!
Serving Together.
