Day 1: No April Fools

IT IS FINISHED!

Now what?

JESUS did what HE said HE would do

so we would never have do what HE did

as HIS eyes were

 FIXED ON THE FINISH LINE~

"who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before HIM endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of GOD[revealing HIS deity, HIS authority,

 and the completion of HIS work]"

 (Hebrews 12:2 AMP).

JESUS did HIS part just as HE promised.

IT IS FINISHED!

HE said it

HE did it.

Because JESUS can't lie.

The tomb is empty and so am I.

Are you?

Are you emptied out of all the "stuff" that weighs you down,

that we have FASTED from for the last 40 days?

Do you want to keep the pounds off?

But how is it possible?

We become LESS so HE becomes MORE.

"HE must increase, but I must decrease" (John 3:30).

We GAIN

by PUTTING ON JESUS.

We wear HIM like a glove.

We make JESUS our FINSIH LINE~

"I press on toward the goal for the prize

of the upward call of GOD in CHRIST JESUS"

(Philippians 3:14).

Because

JESUS FINISHES what HE starts.

EASTER isn't a day

that has come and gone

because

JESUS hasn't come and gone.

HE IS HERE,

just like HE has always been

HERE for you

because

GOD isn't FINISHED with you!

So what do we do with EASTER?

We

PUT ON JESUS

and

RUN THE RACE

because the tomb is empty

Case Closed.

IT IS FINISHED.

Oh REJOICE ALWAYS.

Oh FOLLOW HIM.

Oh GO FORTH and LIVE FOR HIM

and

"RUN THE RACE"

by making

JESUS your

FINISH LINE~

"I don’t know about you, but I’m running hard for the FINISH LINE.

I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No lazy living for me!

I’m staying alert and in top condition.

I’m not going to get caught napping,

telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself"

(I Corinthians 9:26-27 MSG) .

And why?

Well, I ask you

WHY NOT? 

Because I would be a 

FOOL

if I wasn't

 RUNNING THE RACE.

Think about it.

If JESUS

DIED TO RISE for ALL,

and if I am one of the ALL,

and if you are one of the ALL, 

why would anyone say

no to

JESUS.

Let's

RISE UP

together

as we enter into

 APRIL

by

LIVING in the

LIFE SAVING GIFT

of

EASTER,

through our

through our new daily

Devotional Series

"RUN THE RACE",

beginning tomorrow,

as

we

LIVE

 out
