Jesus Saves

Hebrews 4:15
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are -- yet was without sin.

This verse is referring to Jesus and how great he is. He as a human lived in our world and was attacked by the same temptations that we come in contact with. But Jesus held strong, he did not sin. But we continuously sin throughout our daily lives. Even if we tried with every fiber of our beings not to sin for just one whole day we would not be able to.

In Hebrews 2:9 it say's "He suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone." The only guy in the whole world to remain completely pure and sinless for the entirety of his life was the one that sacrificed himself for everyone else. It's so crazy to think about because we are the ones that are continually messing up but Jesus died for us so that we could be forgiven for our sins.

his man who did so much for us and we did nothing for him in return was willing to die for us, and his death was not an easy passing. He didn't just die in his sleep. He was tortured and mutilated, for us.

Sometimes I think we forget the full weight of Jesus' actions. He went through so much just so that we can be saved, and how do we repay him? We waste our lives away by being selfish, un-caring, and all around butt heads. In reality we should be worshiping and praising him for what he did for us.

We praise the Lakers for winning a championship, we praise Will Smith for his performance in the Fresh Prince, and we praise our favorite bands for a great album. But we forget to praise Jesus for saving our souls. Will I forget that today? I better not.

Jesus, thank you so much for saving me. You are awesome and I wouldn't be anything without you.
