Unshackled Grace

Unshackled Grace

“Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.”Acts 13:38 (NIV)

In the bustling marketplace of life, we carry burdens—hidden chains that weigh down our souls. Guilt, shame, regrets—they cling to us like shadows.

But here, in the heart of Acts, a clarion call resounds: forgiveness. Not a mere pardon, but a sweeping liberation—an unshackling of our deepest wounds.

Prisoner Set Free

“Through Jesus…

Imagine the scene: a weary traveler, stumbling under the weight of guilt. His past, a prison cell; his sins, iron bars. Yet, the proclamation echoes through the ages: forgiveness.

Not earned, not deserved, but freely given. The shackles fall, and the prisoner stands—redeemed, restored. The cross, once an instrument of death, becomes the gateway to life.

The tomb, empty; the grave clothes, discarded. The risen Christ extends nail-scarred hands—inviting us into the dawn of grace.

Whisper of Mercy

“The forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.”

Grace whispers in the quiet corners of our hearts. It speaks of second chances, of redemption woven into our brokenness.

The tax collector, the adulteress, the doubter—all find solace at the foot of the cross. The slate wiped clean, the ledger erased. The Pharisee’s judgment silenced; the sinner’s tears embraced.

The Gospel, not a legal transaction, but a love story—a divine romance. Forgiveness, not a distant concept, but a living reality. The proclamation echoes still: You are forgiven.

Unshackled Life

“Through Jesus…”

As pilgrims on this grace-soaked journey, we walk unshackled. Our souls, once imprisoned, now dance in the light of forgiveness. We extend grace to others, for we know the cost—the crimson price paid on Calvary.

Our words, seasoned with mercy; our actions, dripping with compassion. We bear witness to the proclamation: forgiveness. It’s not a theological abstraction; it’s our heartbeat.

We live as liberated souls, marked by grace, pointing others to the One who sets captives free.

A Resurrection Awaits

A Resurrection Awaits

As the Apostle Paul defended his position as a follower of Christ before Felix, a government official; he revealed a powerful truth – There will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. (Acts 24:15)

Certainty of Resurrection

Paul’s words in this verse reveal his unwavering conviction in the reality of resurrection. For some, this truth brings tremendous hope and assurance of an eternity, for others . . . not so much!

Choices to Make

For those who are known by Christ, and belong to Him; the resurrection of the dead will be a glorious event; one in which we will see Him face to face; and the joy and wonder will be off the charts!

For others however, it will be a frightful and terrifying Day, a day of reckoning for rejecting Christ and living a life for themselves, shunning the evidence of God that has been known to them! Yes, that will be a dreadful Day indeed!

How About You?

Have you made the decision to trust Jesus?

Are you now walking hand and hand with Him?

Is He not only your Lord, but your Best Friend?

Do you have peace in your heart that the resurrection of the dead, will be a Great Day for you?

If you are unsure; may I encourage you to find a quiet spot, sit down, and call out to Jesus, and stay there until you hear from Him. Settle it once and for all; and get ready . . . there is a Glorious Day a coming!!!

Power of the Resurrection

Power of the Resurrection

I am constantly reminded that our journey of faith is not one that is meant to be stagnant or complacent. In Philippians 3:10, the apostle Paul speaks of his desire to know Christ and the power of his resurrection, as well as to share in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death. This verse serves as a powerful reminder that our faith is not just a destination but a journey that requires us to constantly seek and grow in our knowledge and relationship with Jesus.

As we seek to know Christ more deeply, we must be willing to not only embrace the joys and blessings that come with our faith but also the challenges and trials that may come our way. The Christian journey is not always an easy one, but it is in those moments of struggle and pain that we have the opportunity to draw closer to Christ and experience his grace and mercy in a profound way.

May we never lose sight of the importance of seeking to know Christ more deeply, not just for our own personal growth, but also so that we may be a light and a witness to others. May our lives be a reflection of his love and grace, and may we never forget that it is through him that we find true fulfillment and purpose in this life.
