Romans 3:21-28, It is time that we stop fussing, sit still, and listen to what God is saying. God decided to start over with us He sent Jesus. He decided to do something really wild, really new. He decided simply to forgive, to remember sin no more.

Romans 1:16-17,

John 17:1-11

There is something very comforting about Jesus praying for us. We trust that he wants what is best for His Kingdom, and what is best for us. Knowing that Jesus is motivated out of pure love, whatever his prayer be for us, we are thankful for it. So, when Jesus prays for us we get the idea that our worth has little to do with what we think, and everything to do with Jesus.

We are ordinary people with ordinary weaknesses and limitations. Yet, the risen Christ promises to empower us with the Holy Spirit so that we, His Easter people, can do the "greater" works He has given us to do. Jesus promises us that He will so inhabit our lives as to live and work through us. So, we find ourselves faithful to Jesus, not by our own power / ability, but through the power of the Holy Spirit

John 14:1-10; Jesus said that his followers, those who believe in Him, will do greater works than His. What can this mean for ordinary people like us?

John 19:30, Good Friday service where we heard loud and clear that Jesus accomplished everything that need be done for our salvation. His declaration, "It is finished", says it all. The trick for us is to stop, be quiet, listen, and watch God at work.
