Father God, so many lessons from the life and ministry of Jesus... if we will only apply them. Salvation that is available even to the worst of us. We are the ones You came to save. And the importance of faith... You can't force salvation or healing or blessings on us. You have offered them freely, but we have to accept them by faith. And we must protect that faith, even if it means sending family and friends away when they doubt. You generously give us Your righteousness in exchange for our filthy rags, blessings in exchange for curses, eternal life in exchange for death. Thank You, Father.  Amen
