Day 40- WIDE OPEN

Today is the final day of The 40 Day Adventure.  I will post again tomorrow in honor of Easter and the celebration of our Risen LORD!  I hope that during our time together you have discovered something new about yourself and your walk with the Savior.  I hope that you have discovered anew what grace really is and what the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf was really all about.  Our theme scripture from 2 Corinthians 6:11 is once more presented at left.  I hope it means something different to you now than when we started on Ash Wednesday.  Paul was writing to the church at Corinth about how we tend to live our lives in a box.  We so often fence ourselves in by putting God in a box.  God cannot and will not be contained by the things of man.  Don't let this world contain your love and your faith.  Be WIDE OPEN to living large, to changing the world in the name of Jesus.  He said that He came to bring us life- the abundant life, and life eternal.  Rich Mullins used to say "Live like you'll die tomorrow...Die knowing you'll live forever."  And that, my friends, is the definition of living the WIDE OPEN live with Jesus.  Because of His sacrifice, we have full access to the Creator of the universe.  What could be better than that?

Happy Easter to everyone. He is RISEN!  He is RISEN INDEED!!!
