You were rescued from the useless way of life that you learned from your ancestors. But you know that you were not rescued by such things as silver or gold that don't last forever. You were rescued by the precious blood of Christ, that spotless and innocent lamb.
1 Peter 1:18-19
Have you ever needed to be rescued? Rescues are fun to watch for entertainment in a movie, but when your life is at stake, if the rescue doesn’t end well, they are definitely not “enjoyable.”
Did you know that today you either have been rescued or you need to be?
If your forefathers did not tell you about Jesus Christ and your need for Him in your life, then you were taught a “useless way of life.” Now don’t become offended or angry.
You may be a “wonderful” person and have the best intentions, but without Jesus you have no power to really make a difference in this world.
Imagine the most brilliant and talented person in the world stranded on a desert island and having no way to communicate with the outside world! Until Jesus rescues you, your way of life is useless!
Even then you will soon find out that Jesus rescues men and women to use them for His purposes in the world.
Jesus has a design and purpose for your life! When you turn your heart to Him, He will gladly show you the desires of His heart for you! When Jesus rescues you He will show you a way of life that is not “useless.” Jesus will show you how to make an Eternal Difference in this world and beyond!
“Thank You, Jesus for rescuing me from my “useless way of life.” May my life now be useful to You every day and in every way! Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen.”
