Thank You Jesus

“For Christ died for the sins once for all, that righteous for the unrighteous, to bring to you God.  He was put to death in body, but made alive by the Spirit.”  1 Peter 3:18

Thank you Jesus for coming to earth.  You could have stayed away but you came near.

Thank you Jesus for living a perfect life, you showed me the way to live my life.

Thank you Jesus for caring for the forgotten. You opened my eyes to the needs of others around me.

Thank you Jesus for not accepting injustice, for flipping the tables, for setting the standard for right and wrong.

Thank you Jesus for teaching complex truths about eternity in simple ways, for sharing the truth in a way I can understand.

Thank you Jesus for being a servant. You showed me that the best way to lead is to serve, to lift others up.

Thank you Jesus for not compromising, for not accepting the easy way out.

Thank you Jesus for the cross.  For doing what I could not and for paying the price for my sins.  For making me clean by your blood and for giving me a way home.

Thank you does not seem like enough Jesus.  May you know my thanks in the way I live my life.  In the way I love your people, follow you and long to be with you again some day.

Thank you Jesus.
