Reconciliation

"Behold, How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!"  Psalm 133:1

Do you know what God wants from you today?  Reconciliation.  That's far more important than singing in the choir, preaching a sermon, serving in the nursery, or giving an offering.  When we learn this, God is going to bring great revival to our churches.  Revival always begins when people begin to confess their faults to one another, pray for one another, and forgive one another.

Revival isn't raising the roof with a lot of emotion.  It is getting the walls down.  It is not just saying, "I am going to get right with God."  It is saying, "I want to get right with my brothers and sisters."  When we are reconciled, revival will come. 

And rejoicing will surely follow.  And not any kind of rejoicing, there will be Holy Spirit joy when you know there is nothing between your soul and the Savior and nothing between your soul and a brother.  Joy unspeakable!!

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

What a verse!  This is one of the most quoted verses in all the Bible.  I love to receive gifts.  Everybody does.  However, the best gift that was ever given was the Lord Jesus Christ.  This verse said "that he GAVE...." what a gift!

Have you thanked God for that most precious gift?  Jesus lived in the shadow of the cross.  He came to this earth to seek and to save that which is lost.  He could of called 10,000 angels to destroy the world and set him free.  But he died alone for you and me.  What a Savior!
