The Cup Set Before Him

The twenty-seventh of this month, this coming Sunday, marks this year’s remembrance of the greatest day in the history of mankind—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And as Christians, we give Resurrection Sunday its due celebration and recognition.  However, do we truly consider and grasp the enormity of what Christ did for us, and do we fully recognize the anguish He suffered to bring about our salvation?  Are we guilty of diminishing, through lack of acknowledgement and appreciation, the extreme sacrifice our Savior made to reconcile us with God?  I believe we are.

Give Thanks

“Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!  

Serve the LORD with gladness! 

Come into his presence with singing!  

Know that the LORD, he is God!  

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, 

and his courts with praise! 

Give thanks to him; bless his name!  

For the LORD is good; 

his steadfast love endures forever, 

and his faithfulness to all generations.”

~Psalm 100

Happy Thanksgiving!
