Jesus leads God’s search-and-rescue mission. He came to earth to become a man, living as one of us. Through His death and resurrection, He provided us with a rescue plan when our sin and disobedience separated us from God!

 Jesus gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age. 

~Galatians 1:4

Did you know that Jesus leads God’s search-and-rescue mission?  He came to earth to become a man, living as one of us humans on this Earth School. Through His death and resurrection, He provided us with a rescue plan when our sin and disobedience separated us from God! We have Him to save us! He is our salvation! WE often forget this, especially the weak, famous, elected, and ones far from God or who were not raised with God. They fall into sin and become slaves for Satan, doing so much evil and wickedness. Many elected and the populous fall into a great deal of greed and selfishness, which leads to more sin and evil deeds. They fall into things of this world, become materialistic, letting money, gold, power, and things of this world or carnal desires cause them to be consumed by things here which hurt them. They lack Jesus and living in Spirit, and that is really what we all need as human beings! 

Our Daily Bread prayer today said, "Some friends went boating in the English Channel, hoping the forecast for stormy weather would change. But the winds rose, and the waves became choppy, threatening the safety of their vessel, so they radioed for help to the RNLI (the Royal National Lifeboat Institution). After some tense moments, they spotted their rescuers in the distance and realized with relief they’d soon be safe. As my friend reflected gratefully afterward, “Whether or not people ignore the rules of the sea, the RNLI still comes to the rescue.” As he recounted the story, I thought about how Jesus leads God’s search-and-rescue mission. He came to earth to become a man, living as one of us. Through His death and resurrection, He provided us with a rescue plan when our sin and disobedience separated us from God. This truth is emphasized by Paul, when writing to the church at Galatia: “The Lord Jesus Christ . . . gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age” (Galatians 1:3-4). Paul reminded the Galatians of the gift of new life they received through Jesus’ death so that they would honor God day by day. Jesus, our rescuer, willingly died to save us from being lost. Because He did, we have life in the kingdom of God, and in gratitude we can share the life-saving news with those in our community."

Let's face it, we need Jesus! We need to follow Him. We need to imitate and reflect Him! Turn to Jesus!  If we are going to have any success in this life, we cannot unless we follow Him! Our eternal life in Heaven begins here on Earth, it begins with following Jesus and living like Him the best we can obeying God, the teachings of Jesus, and being people of goodwill. We all have choices, we can do it on our own without God or we can follow Jesus. We can decide, do we want Heaven or hell? Do we want life eternal or to burn in hell in Gehenna? God just wants us to obey Him, to follow Jesus, and be upright and holy. We are called to be holy! Let Jesus rescue you!
