The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Hebrews 2:14-18, “Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 and might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.
16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.
17 Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.”

As we approach the commemoration day of Christ Jesus’ Resurrection, it is good for us to heed what the Word itself says of Him. Adam and Eve were created as “flesh and blood.” When they sinned in the Garden of Eden, they estranged themselved from God, making it was necessary that the Father provide a Redeemer for them. Through that Redeemer, Adam, Eve and all of their progeny are now enabled to be extracated from the grip of Satan and sin. Jesus was the Father’s choice to be that Redeemer. And through Him, God’s human creation is enabled to be forgiven and ultimately live with Him in Heaven.

Jesus’ preparation for becoming the Sacrifice for us, required Him to take upon Himself the likeness of human flesh and be subjected to every possible temptation. His successful resistance to Satan’s power was proved in and through His Resurrection from the dead. He is now, therefore, able to deliver us from sin and give us His Eternal Life! We must simply, but sincerely, accept Him in faith as being the Father’s sacrifice for us!

It is the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, therefore, that is key to our own redemption. The price has already been paid. It only remains for us to accept His Sacrifice on the Cross for our sin. It’s a simple matter of trust. We exercise trust in multiple ways already. Yet, the greatest possible trust –the one that is necessary for Eternal Salvation— is all-too-often ignored. Don’t put off your acceptance of Jesus Christ!!
Church affiliation does have value, but nothing is equal to Jesus Christ. He is the One Who died and arose to save you from sin’s grip! It is in HIM ALONE that we can be saved! If you have yet to trust Him, please pray this simple prayer today:

Dear LORD, I have sinned against you and deserve nothing of your blessing.
I know that Jesus died and arose from the dead to save me from my sin.
I here and now confess my sin to You and ask Your forgiveness. By faith, I
accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and LORD. Thank You for saving me.
In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.

God bless you as you pray and trust in Him!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
