March 18

Matthew 16-17

 

The citizens are free. . . 

 

What a profound statement by Jesus. The citizens of a nation reap the benefit of that nation. But the people who have been conquered by that nation pay an extra price. 

 

You should know that Jesus always has a deeper meaning than what is at the surface. He isn’t talking about Rome, or human governments at this time. He is talking about Heaven. Those who belong to Jesus, have no fee for entering in. Their price has been paid. Those who do not belong to Jesus, have an eternal price to pay. 

 

As we get close to Easter, I wonder who you know who would need to know the message of Jesus. You could save them an eternity of pain if you would introduce them to the one who paid it all. 

 

Take some time each day over the next few weeks, to make sure you are inviting someone into your story of how Jesus changed your life forever!
