When you read the Bible, do you find yourself in the story? Here are three stories that might help you find yourself there. First, Matthew 19:13-15: Jesus welcomes the little children. Second, John 8:2-11: The woman caught in adultery. and Third, John 3:1-15: Nicodemus and Jesus speak about being reborn.
It is my hope that you might find yourself in the story, that you might see that there is correction in His teaching, and that you would always see yourself as person in need of a savior.
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
