He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.  2 Timothy 1:9 NIV

Oh my friends, every breath is a gift / every moment is a treasure / every table is a feast / every heartbeat is for His kingdom.  

I fix my eyes upon You, Jesus!

And 2 Corinthians 5:15 gives us another truth concerning this life Jesus gives us. “And He died for all, that they should not live unto themselves but unto Him who died for them, and rose again.” Jesus also died and rose again that we might live for Him. He died and rose again for us that we might not live for ourselves, but for Him and for others. 

John 1:16-18 TPT And from the overflow of His fullness we received grace heaped upon more grace! Moses gave us the Law, but Jesus, the Anointed One, unveils truth wrapped in tender mercy. No one ever before gazed upon the full splendour of God except His uniquely beloved Son, who is cherished by the Father and held close to His heart. Now that He has come to us, He has unfolded the full explanation of who God truly is.

John 6:19-20 TPT The disciples had rowed about halfway across the lake when all of a sudden they caught sight of Jesus walking on top of the waves, coming toward them. The disciples panicked, but Jesus called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. You know who I am.” 

Hebrews 7:22-24 TPT So all of this magnifies the truth that we have a superior covenant with God than what they experienced, for Jesus Himself is its guarantor! As additional proof, we know there were many priests under the old system, for they eventually died and their office had to be filled by another. But Jesus permanently holds His priestly office, since He lives forever and will never have a successor!

Christ died and rose again that we might live through Him - that’s salvation. 

He died and rose again that we might live for Him - that’s loving service. 

And He died and rose again that we might live with Him - that’s life forever.  

Ephesians 5:8 NIV For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 

Can you imagine it? Understand ? Whoa! Jesus died and rose again so that you and I might live through Him, and for Him, and with Him. Trust Him as your Lord and Saviour! He is risen!
