IT'S GREAT TO BE A CHRISTIAN!

Got to thinking... It really is so great to be a Christian. I feel for those who aren't. There are a lot of reasons I feel this way... Without being too "preachy" let me share some of them with you.

[1] It's Great to Be a Christian because of my brothers and sisters in Christ. John Donne once wrote "No man is an island". The community of man is a fundamental fact of human existence. We need each other. I am so mindful of the words of that classic song -- "Bind us together Lord - in chains that cannot be broken!" Everyday I am more and more thankful for the Family of God. What a blessing to have those who rejoice with me when I rejoice and will weep with me when I weep. It's is awesome!

[2] It's Great to Be a Christian because of the purpose and meaning of such a life! It doesn't matter if I build a financial empire or attain intellectual heights. One thing I know for sure -- My Hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness! Christianity gives my life reason as well as hope for it's continuation now... and forever.

[3] It's Great to be a Christian because Jesus died for my sins. As a child of the King, I have come into contact with the One who spent 6 long painful hours on Calvary's cross for ME!. Because of that, my Savior and I have a very special relationship. He lived and died for me... Now I live for Him!

There are many more reasons, obviously.. but I share these with you because of what they have meant to my life and what they can mean to yours. May God bless each of us as we live for Him!
