We will never be the same

If you are reading this blog, you probably hear the first song on the playlist daily. I added that song the day I started the blog simply because I love it. I love the words. I love the meaning. I love the group. Just all around love it. But as I have listened and listened to it more, I have come to truly feel the lyrics.



You came here for redemption of us all

That we may live for the Glory of it all..the glory of it all



As Easter approaches...the words take on a whole new meaning. He came here. God sent him here. To do what? To save us. It seems like a simple concept. He came here. He did good works here on the earth. He was doubted. He was mocked. He was put to death. Three days later he rose from the dead. He came here for redemption of us all that we may live for the Glory of it all.



What does that mean? The Glory of it all? I have an idea.



Glory...to give honor or praise



He...God...made the Heavens and the Earth. He made the sun, the moon and the stars. He made us. He is the maker of the world...and we are to give him honor and praise. We are to honor him for his accomplishments. We are to praise him for his majesty. We are to thank him for the gift of salvation. We are to love him and to show his love to others. He came here to redeem our souls.



Redeem....to buy back, to repurchase, to rescue.



He sent his only son to rescue us from the world. A world where bad things happen to good people.



There are times in my life that I can remember thinking the words that are in this son...we will never be the same. There are people in my life that I have met that I have walked away from thinking...I will never be the same. And I am forever thankful. Accept Christ into your heart and see the world through his eyes. You will never be the same. I promise.
