Jesus is the Way

I am doing a Bible study called "Redeemed" by Angela Thomas-Pharr.  Last year my friend and I actually got to be a part of this study while it was being taped and so when it was released a few weeks ago we were eager to renew our acquaintance with it.  

Yesterday as I began Day 15 in the workbook I came across a passage highlighted as "Jesus is the way."  This section spoke on Jesus being the only way to be reconciled with God and redeemed from our sin nature we inherited from our ancestors, Adam and Eve.  It detailed how we cannot save ourselves, even if we are "good" people, we can never be perfect.  Jesus is the only hope of a fallen world for restoration.  

I had this strong feeling that I was to take a picture of these few paragraphs and post them on Facebook.  I continued on in the study, still "arguing" with this feeling.  Was God really telling me to do this?  Was it just my idea?  You know, that little back and forth we do in our minds whenever we are unsure "if it's God."  The feeling persisted, and so I  figured it certainly couldn't hurt to let people know on social media they need Jesus.  LOL.  So on to Facebook it went!

Part of the study is prayer and praying through the Psalms.  And so I did this, being up to Psalm 40. As I read through the Psalm, I came to verse 10 and had one of those "words jumping off the page" experiences.  Psalm 40:10  I have not kept the good news of Your justice hidden in my heart.  I have talked about Your faithfulness and saving power.  I  have told everyone in the great assembly of Your unfailing love and faithfulness.  

Talk about confirmation!  Wow.  I can't imagine the author David thinking of anything like the social media platforms of the 21st century being a great assembly...but hey, we work with what we have!  

Thank You Lord for leading me to share Angela's rendition of our need and Your provision for salvation and redemption.  I pray that people's hearts are open and receptive to Your love, Your plan and the exclusivity of the way to into redemption.  Lord, I pray that each who read that Facebook post yesterday will search their hearts, see their need and turn to You, to Your welcoming arms.  Salvation for us is so easy, yet it cost You so much.  Lord, please save.  And thank You for using me as a small part in Your plan to reach people.  I am so humbled and blessed to be part of this.  Forever grateful.

If you haven't asked Jesus to save you, do so right now!  If you have, don't be afraid to listen to that nudge to share His salvation in whatever way He points to.
