Mission!

For Friday, October 7, 2022:

Mark 7:37 NLT: “The crowd was completely amazed and said again and again, ‘Everything he does is wonderful. He even makes the deaf to hear and gives speech to those who cannot speak.’”

Following compassionate healings and miracles, Jesus always told the people to not tell anyone. But they all shared the Good News in spite of Jesus’ admonition. Miracle healings don’t stay a secret for long!

Jesus’ teaching was straight from heaven. The healings let everyone know that he was the Son of God. But his mission, his main purpose in coming to earth, was to personally pay the price for mankind’s sins. In what we call the Great Exchange, Jesus took the sins of the world to the place of the dead, leaving believers spotless and unblemished, suitable for spending eternity in the presence of the Father. Jesus went ahead to prepare a special place for each of the believers. If you know that Jesus is the Son of the Living God and that he can do what he said he could do, you’ll get to see heaven from the inside!

If you’re a believer, there’s a room in heaven with your name on the door!
